Escape to the peaceful beauty of Exmoor at Ellicombe Manor Cottages — a hidden retreat for families, walkers, cyclists and dog lovers.

Set within the grounds of a 16th-century Grade II listed manor house, our four individual cottages offer a relaxed, home-from-home stay in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ellicombe is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy life at a gentler pace.

Wander through the grounds, where children roam freely, dogs lead the way and days unfold at their own pace. Meet and feed the resident animals, spend lazy afternoons by the heated pool, or simply find a quiet corner and let time slow down. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit and enjoy the simple pleasure of long summer nights under open skies, watching the bats at dusk while owls serenade you into the night.

In the cooler months, return to the comfort of your cottage, cosy and warm after a day exploring Exmoor’s stunning, ever-changing landscape.

For something a little different, embrace the invigorating ritual of our intimate sauna and ice bath — especially after a long walk — a simple ritual to warm up, cool down and feel completely present again.

Step straight into Exmoor’s wild landscape, beautiful in every season, with endless walking routes, quiet cycle trails and secluded inland spots perfect for wild swimming. Just a short drive away, the dramatic South West coastline awaits — from hidden coves to the early stretches of the South West Coast Path.

Each cottage is thoughtfully designed with comfort and ease in mind, blending character and charm with everything you need for a restful stay.

Whether it’s sandy paws, muddy boots or unhurried family time, Ellicombe Manor Cottages is your base to embrace the beauty of an English escape, whatever the season — and leave feeling restored.
