The region
Luxborough is a peaceful hamlet in the Brendon Hills of Exmoor National Park, about 6 miles south of Dunster. Three tiny settlements -- Churchtown, Kingsbridge, and Pooltown -- nestle in a wooded valley at 600 feet.
This is a deeply rural corner of Exmoor where farming and forestry have replaced the iron mining that once sustained the community. The ancient Church of St Mary in Churchtown dates back to the 13th century, with a medieval stone cross in its churchyard that is a scheduled ancient monument. Many of the cottages in the area are thatched, and the pace of life is wonderfully unhurried.
The Washford River rises near Luxborough and flows through the valley, giving the hamlet of Pooltown its name from the many pools along its course. The surrounding woodland is rich with wildlife -- red deer, buzzards, and woodland birds are regularly spotted.
Luxborough has no shops or general stores. The nearest everyday amenities are in Dunster (6 miles north), which has a good range of independent shops, a post office, butcher, and galleries. The market town of Watchet (7 miles northeast) and Minehead (9 miles north) offer supermarkets, pharmacies, and a wider range of services.

The cottage is small but very comfortable and has everything you need. The location is outstanding - I’ve never been anywhere so peaceful, being woken only by the sound of horses hooves coming up the lane. The hosts are friendly and helpful - fresh eggs on the doorstep! We’ll definitely return.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2023
The cottage is lovely and in a beautiful setting. There are some lovely walks around the cottage but the terrain is steep and not accessible to everyone. The setting is quite remote and you have to drive to everything, including the local pub. The Royal Oak in Luxborough is well worth a visit but remember to book in advance.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2023
Lovely dwelling has everything we needed plus a few extras such as eggs, milk tea and cake! Plus even spare cooking oil if needed. A lot of thought had been in the design of it we loved it and had a lovely stay, nice and relaxing and spotless and welcoming when we first arrived
6 / 10Average·Jul 2023
The cottage is in an ideal location for walks and is close to Dunster Village. There is a good pub within walking distance and overall it’s a peaceful and relaxing place.
