We’ve been thinking about a slightly unusual question…

How does The Old Rectory actually FEEL?

We hope it feels peaceful, personal, comfortable and unhurried.

A place to kick off your shoes, forget what time it is, enjoy a long walk (or not!), a glass of something nice, good food and simply let us look after you.

Perhaps that’s the real luxury — a few days when you don’t have to think about very much.

But we’d love to know what you think…

If you’ve stayed with us, how would you describe The Old Rectory in just three words?

Did you know we have a secret summer at The Old Rectory?

Whilst Woolacombe and the other beautiful beaches in North Devon are packed and chaotic in the summer, there is always peace and quiet here in our beautiful corner of Exmoor. We hope you will come and visit us and enjoy the summer sunshine

If you’re looking for a great walk on Exmoor, this is an absolute must. Fabulous scenery.

🥾 Walk of the Month – Porlock Weir to Lynmouth via Culbone 🌿
Step into one of the most magical stretches of coastline in Exmoor — a beautifully shaded walk through ancient woodland along the longest wooded coastline in England and Wales.

Following the South West Coast Path, this route weaves through fern-lined paths, historic landmarks and peaceful woodland, making it perfect for warmer days when you want shelter from the sun — though be prepared for some long and steep climbs!

🌿 What to expect:
• Cool, leafy woodland paths along the Exmoor Coast
• Fern-lined trails through dramatic coastal scenery
• Historic highlights including old garden tunnels
• A visit to Culbone Church — one of the smallest and oldest in England
• Wildlife, tranquillity and breathtaking views

📍 Start: Porlock Weir (not circular)
📏 Distance: 11 miles (17.8 km)
⛰ Difficulty: Hard – long and steep climbs
🥾 Trail: South West Coast Path
💡 Tip: You can turn back at Culbone Church for a shorter walk — the return route is just as beautiful.
