Well behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement (maximum of 2). A supplementary fee of £10 per dog will be added to your invoice. Dogs are welcome but please do not allow them on the furniture, upstairs or leave them alone in the property at any time. Please note, you are expected to be vigilant and keep your dog under control at all times as there is likely to be livestock in the immediate vicinity on the farm. The farm is also home to 4 working (and very friendly) dogs. Honeycott is strictly non-smoking. Wheddon Cross (approx 3 miles) has a well-stocked mini-supermarket, Post Office facilities and petrol station with good opening times. The Rest & Be Thankful Inn is the village pub which serves food and is child and dog friendly. Luxborough is also approx 3 miles and has a village pub, The Royal Oak in Luxborough.

Here you will find the larger supermarkets and petrol stations (Tesco and Morrison’s are both on the outskirts of the town), several of the high street banks, plus a range of other shops. Honeycott is situated in the heart of the Exmoor National Park and has breathtaking views towards the coast, across the hills and valleys. This area is very popular with walkers and lovers of nature - anyone just wanting to get away from it all! The cottage is in great central location on Exmoor making it an ideal base, whether you are seeking out the heather-clad moorlands, deep wooded valleys, the highest sea cliffs in England, or looking for the wildlife - Red Deer, Exmoor Ponies, Buzzards to name a few. It is a wonderful place to explore by car or on foot anytime of year. Snowdrop Valley on the outskirts of Wheddon Cross is very popular in February, when people come to see the ‘carpet of snowdrops’. There is a park and ride scheme running from Wheddon Cross car park, which is 3 miles. Within an hours drive there are many attractions to keep you entertained, including Wimbleball Reservoir - just 15 minutes by car - for sailing, boating and fishing. The cottage will be ready from 3 pm on the day you arrive. Please depart by 10 am on the last day of your stay. Please leave the property clean and tidy so that we can guarantee it will be ready on time for our next guests.
