Carpenters

About

Carpenters is a lovely centrally heated, 3 bedroomed detached bungalow which comfortably sleeps 6 people. It is situated in the coastal village of Combe Martin and combines the convenience of a village location with a beautiful beach setting. There are wonderful sea views from the kitchen/diner, lounge and front bedroom as well as splendid views of rolling hills inland. The property has space to park 2 cars and, for a small additional fee, you can bring up to 2 dogs with you to enjoy all the many wonderful walks. However, you must book early if you don’t want to miss out on this great property as we have many guests who return year after year!

Carpenters is ideally situated for exploring Exmoor as it is located on the South West Coast Path in the shadow of the famous Little Hangman and Great Hangman hills, which offer stunning views along the rugged coastline for those intrepid enough to make the climb! However, if the weather is fine, why not just enjoy a glass of wine on the decking overlooking the bay with its fabulous views of the sea and hills. If it is evening, you might also be lucky enough to experience a magical sunset over the sea, where the sea turns red and then silver. If you visit the bungalow in winter, rough seas can make for a spectacular demonstration of nature at its most powerful and on a clear night you can see a profusion of stars and you might even glimpse the Milky Way!

Carpenters is extremely well equipped and has everything that you need to make your holiday an enjoyable experience. There are 3 bedrooms; one is a double bedroom with a king-sized bed and en-suite shower room, the other contains 2 twin beds and the third has adult sized bunk beds sleeping 2 people.
