Exmoor Coast & Country
Woodcombe Lodges and Cottages
We are a family business with six lodges and two cottages in a 3 acre garden down a quiet country lane. We enjoy magnificent views over the slopes of the Exmoor National Park and down to the sea and have achieved Certificates of Excellence from Tripadvisor for the last five years.

We do charge for electricity between 1 October and the end of the week before the second May Bank holiday at 25p per unit based on arrival and departure meter readings.
