It's an easy walk into the village, and there's also great walking directly from the door if you wish to explore - the road outside the cottage turns into a bridleway further up the combe, which then leads all the way up to Hawkcombe Head, high on the moors above - a great walk if you are looking for a challenge!

Upstairs is the bathroom, comprising shower over the bath, toilet and hand basin. The two bedrooms are also upstairs, one double bed and one twin room, both have views to the front of the cottage and you can hear the stream running alongside the garden at the front.

Doors from the kitchen and sitting room both open onto the enclosed courtyard directly behind the property, table and chairs are provided, with access to a second (outside) toilet.

Just across the quiet lane, a 5-bar gate opens into the lawned garden area, which is for the private use of Robin's Brook guests. One side of the lawn is boarded by the river which runs down the far side of the garden, therefore children must be supervised at all times. The garden also has a picnic table, swing and a lovely view of Hurlestone Down.

Turn left out of the front door for an easy walk to the varied shops, pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and galleries of Porlock. Turn right to walk up through Hawkcombe woods and on to stunning moorland scenery, looking out for red deer and Exmoor ponies as you go.

This is excellent dog-walking country and Exmoor also includes many dog-friendly pubs and tea rooms too.

There's a myriad of things to do on Exmoor whether you want to explore on foot or by car. A few suggestions include:

Drive up Porlock Hill (and beyond) for glorious walking and views of Porlock Bay, Dunkery Beacon and the coastline.

Explore Lorna Doone country, Countisbury, Watersmeet, Lynton, Lynmouth and much more - a relaxing paradise for walkers, horse-riders, bird-watchers, and naturalists alike.

The Exmoor coastline is amongst the best in the UK and the walks and views are superb. The South West Coast Path runs from Minehead, to Porlock, and into North Devon.

The combes boast ancient woodland bursting with life and most have bubbling streams that footpaths follow, particularly Hawkcombe and Horner.

Enjoy stargazing in some of the best starlit skies in the world - Exmoor National Park has been designated an International Dark Sky Reserve, the first place in Europe to achieve this award.
