In the spectacular Heddon Valley, Martinhoe is situated between Combe Martin and Lynton. Here you'll find this lovely detached cottage, Tucking River Lodge.
In a secluded riverside spot within Exmoor National Park and a stone's throw away from the Devon coast, Tucking River Lodge is a cosy home-from-home for a couple looking for a peaceful escape. Be welcomed by a welcoming open-plan living space with big picture windows looking out over the adjacent river Heddon. Cosy up with your loved one on the comfortable sofa. The kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need to rustle up a romantic dinner for two, to be enjoyed at the neat dining table with stools. In the evening head up the open tread stairs to bed in a welcoming king-size room. Enjoy the peacefulness of your secluded location and take in the beautiful views of the valley from the comfort of the rear garden. There is plenty to do without having to stray far from the cottage; stroll along Heddon River to Heddon's Mouth Beach and bask in the sun, before venturing to the close-by Hunter's Inn for a delicious lunch as you spot the resident peacocks! Spend the day in Combe Martin and find the rest of your amenities, before getting up close to the animals in the local Wildlife & Dinosaur Park or sunbathe on the town's handful of beaches; if you're an excursion-lover, be sure to take advantage of the town's extensive walking trails, including West Country Walks's hiking area. Head to the picturesque Lynton where you can take a ride on the water-operated cliff railway to the charming harbour at Lynmouth, where the views en-route are truly breathtaking. You may wish to walk to the spectacular setting of the Valley of Rocks, which is about a mile walk from Lynton. Make the most of your location in Exmoor National Park and balance on the ancient Cross Tarr Steps, visit the quaint Working Watermill, and climb up to the highest point of Somerset, Dunkery Beacon. Discover activities along Devon’s coast in Ilfracombe, where you can enjoy a game of putty at the beachside golf course, trek to the observation deck of Capstone Hill, and view the aquatic wildlife in the Ilfracombe Aquarium. Head further inland to Barnstaple where riverside activities await you or walk the South West Coastal Path to discover more landmarks and picturesque settlements on Devon’s shores.
