Westerclose House Cottages offer beautiful self-catering accommodation in the heart of Exmoor National Park, perfectly positioned above the picturesque village of Withypool on the North Devon border. Set within their own private grounds, the cottages enjoy stunning, far-reaching views across the River Barle Valley and the surrounding moorland, providing a peaceful retreat in one of Exmoor’s most scenic locations. Despite the tranquil setting, Westerclose House Cottages are just a short 300-yard walk from the Royal Oak pub, the well-stocked village shop, and the historic St Andrew’s Church, making them an ideal base for exploring Exmoor’s countryside and local attractions.

We have four self catering cottages and an apartment in a courtyard setting (sleep 1 – 6 people), all comfortably furnished with everything you need for a well-deserved and relaxing break. The cottages each have a private garden, easy parking and a log burner for those chillier evenings. The apartment is within Westerclose House, with its private entrance and enjoying panoramic views. Children, well behaved dogs and other small pets are all welcome!

For those who want to bring their own horses, we have 3 large stables and turnout paddocks close to the cottages available on a DIY livery basis. There is superb hacking available directly from our yard.

On the ground floor, there is a cosy sitting room with a wood burner, TV and DVD player, along with French windows that open onto a verandah and the garden.

Also downstairs is a small double bedroom with a 4’6” bed and a bathroom with a WC, bath and shower over the bath.
