The Dunkery Beacon country house has truly breathtaking views that stretch from the Brendon Hills to Robin How, Dunkery Beacon and beyond. Nestled in south facing hills within the enchanting village of Wootton Courtenay, this Exmoor country house was originally built as an Edwardian Hunting Lodge and is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday within the beauty of Exmoor National Park.
After a day spent walking or exploring, relax by a roaring log fire or sit in lovely gardens and enjoy the wonderful views, all set within the peace and tranquillity of the National Park.

We stayed here for a last minute break and stayed in the larger of the three cottages as that's all that was available and it was absolutely beautiful. The owners clearly have very high standards as the place was immaculate and everything had been considered to ensure we were comfortable during our stay. We took our 7 month old puppy and she just loved her morning walk to Heddon Valley, splashing around in the beautiful and very clean stream that you follow all the way to the cove.
If you're considering staying here with or without your dog, yout won't be disappointed and if you love a good walk then even better. The cottage is at the top of rather steep hill which was fun finding our way. You absolutely have to check out Valley of the Rocks, Heddon Valley, Woody Bay even better when the tide is out, the nearby villages and one of the nearby dog friendly beachs such as Saunton Sands. Love, love, loved it - have already recommended the cottage to family/friends and we will be back for sure. Plus, if you're into cycling then this is a great place to enjoy some quad wrecking climbs!

A haven nestled into the side of an Exmoor hillside. Overall the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. Beautifully decorated, top hotel standard facilities, welcome tray and toiletries and every attention to detail paid. Milk in the fridge, biscuits and tea and coffee and hot chocolate too. The bathroom and kitchen were amazing. Our cottage also had a balcony with a sea view.
A delightful pub down the hill and an NT shop with some goodies and ice cream! Awesome walks in every direction. The roads are not for the faint hearted and you need to check your brakes, but our only real complaint is that we didn't book for a fortnight- a week was not long enough there is so much to see and do.
