Woody Bay Cottage is in beautiful, secluded position at the foot of Woody Bay, with a path to the rock and fine shingle beach beach which has a tidal bathing pool. Wide views across the Bay to the Valley of Rocks. It is situated at the end of a quiet road through a National Trust estate in Exmoor National Park.  The cottage has many original features. Warm, cosy, comfortably furnished and well-equipped for up to 7 people, plus cot and camp bed. Stunning sea and coastal views from every room and the front terrace. Woody Bay is perfect for walking, swimming, rock-pooling, bird watching, sea-fishing, riding and exploring.

April 2024: "Our 6th visit to this wonderful cottage. Went paddle boarding in the bay (and fell in). Gorgeous sandy bit of beach which you can reach by SUP or walking if the tide is low, give yourself time to walk back too (its a bit of a scramble). Walk up to hill and the SW coast path .. Nice walk to Hunter's Inn."

June 2024: "When we cam here 40 + years ago, with our parents, we never imagined we would ever be here with our own families. Such a delight - that words can'r express fully. Things we loved: Timeless cottage (family friendly and so well equipped) beautiful views, bay, surroundings, tidal pool, peace, birdsong to mention a few."
