Combe Martin curls around a narrow, sheltered bay on the edge of Exmoor, with steep hillsides, sea views and a main street that runs down to the harbour and beach. A large holiday cottage in Combe Martin gives big families or groups a practical base with plenty of space. Spend your days rock-pooling along the bay at low tide, hiring kayaks in calmer conditions or following the coastal path out of the village, or jump in the car and head to nearby Ilfracombe, Watermouth Castle or the long sandy beach at Woolacombe.
Whether it’s time on the water, tackling a manageable section of the South West Coast Path or heading to the local for a few ciders, there’s plenty to keep groups busy. Exmoor sits just inland, adding well-marked walking routes and wide viewpoints, and when it’s time to regroup you can come together back at the house to cook up a storm, play some games or head to The Pack O’ Cards for a relaxed evening of food and laughter. With its mix of coastline, countryside and practical village amenities, Combe Martin suits larger groups who want varied days out and easy, sociable evenings under one roof.
