The Surrounding area
The Grainstore allows immediate access to open countryside from the doorstep, so you can get away from it all and enjoy excellent scenic walking, cycling and wildlife. Located on the Devon /Somerset border the cottage provides an excellent starting point to explore many areas of outstanding beauty: Exmoor, Dartmoor and the north and south coast are all within an hour’s drive. Further afield, visit Exmoor National Park, Hestercombe Gardens (shown right), historic houses, Knightshayes Court and more.
