About Ivy's Cottage

Topped with a thatched roof, bordered by perfectly pruned gardens and encompassed by rolling countryside; Ivy’s is the epitome of an English country cottage. It sits in the quaint village of Selworthy with far-reaching views over Exmoor. Step inside the one-bedroom cottage to a snug but homely space, where a snuggle by the log-burner is irresistible after a day of hiking the moors.  

On your doorstep, you’ll have 150 miles of miles of footpaths and bridleways through the Holnicote estate. These will lead you through Exmoor’s rugged moorlands and shingle beaches to its ancient woodlands and surrounding thatched villages. 

Further afield, the cottage is just a short four mile drive from Minehead, one of Somerset’s most popular seaside resorts. Enjoy fish and chips on the beach and bracing coastal walks.
