More about The Cleeve
Set within the beautiful Exmoor National Park, in a location that was once the seat of West Saxon kings (mentioned in Doomsday Book and older Saxon Chronicles), The Cleeve is an imposing and detached house which makes a wonderful holiday venue for larger groups. Decorated and equipped to a very high standard, the property has been carefully designed with families in mind, and whilst enjoying a secluded position that is not overlooked, it lies close to the village. Just a few minutes’ walk away are a selection of restaurants, pubs, shops, as well as tearooms and recreational facilities with areas for football, tennis and cricket, a bowling green and children’s play area. Directly leading from the house and its huge lawned area is a bridleway; while the garden path winds over a private bridge across the stream, where a pleasant stroll can be taken along the quiet country lane deeper into the spectacular surrounding countryside or through Porlock to the sea. Nature can be seen at its best within the miles of Exmoor National Park that surrounds the property and which is among the UK’s greatest Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here it has been reported that wildlife lovers can observe 31 natural mammals (including majestic red deer and Exmoor ponies), 244 different species of birds visiting at different times of the year, as well as more than 100 nesting birds, over 1000 types of flowers or grass. Other leisure activities such as walking, cycling, riding, sailing, and hang gliding can all be catered for. Of interest, too, are the Quantocks and Brendon Hills, whilst Dartmoor can also be visited. Shops 250 yards.
