13 COTTAGES - Originally the estate farm which served Bridwell Park, one of the largest privately owned estates in the west country. Old Bridwell housed the many workers who served the estate.

It has now been tastefully and sympathetically restored to offer elegant, spacious and luxurious self-catering holiday accommodation in an idyllic country setting. The landscaped grounds include the original walled fruit garden, now restored with box hedges, gravel paths, cordons of apple trees and fruit bushes. If you prefer privacy, many cottages have private gardens to enable you to relax in seclusion.

The hamlet of Old Bridwell is the perfect base for a touring holiday in Devon and Somerset. Explore the wild beauty of Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, the North Devon Coast, including Lynton and Lynmouth, or the outstanding beauty of the Blackdown Hills. Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole and the clean, safe beaches of Lyme Regis, Seaton, Branscombe, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, Exmouth and beyond, are a short drive away.

Highly recommended by a member of staff from Cottages Direct. "Beautiful peaceful setting, spotlessly clean cottages and a friendly welcome. We had a fantastic weekend and will definitely be back" - Sara Carrier, Customer Services Manager.
