Mortehoe is a pretty coastal village surrounded by National Trust land in a marine conservation area. Grunta and Rockham beaches are a short walk from the cottage. Morte Point, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is almost on the doorstep - as is the South West Coast Path.
Woolacombe, the adjacent village, is famous for its perfect sandy beach which has been judged the best in the UK by The Sunday Times and Tripadvisor (which also placed it in the top 20 globally).
There are several other beaches in Woolacombe and a number of good restaurants too. Other great surfing beaches like Croyde and Saunton are just a couple of miles away. Exmoor National Park isn’t much further. Mortehoe itself has cosy pubs, a 13th-century church and some wonderful places to eat.
Activities in the area include surfing, walking, sea-kayaking, coasteering, fishing, golf and of course lazing on the beach. You can find more information about the area from the local tourist information centre. We have added some other useful local links here.
