The region
Set in the foothills of the Brendon Hills on the southern slope of Croydon Hill, Luxborough enjoys a peaceful and beautiful setting. Luxborough is a small village that is divided into the hamlets of Churchtown, Kingsbridge and Pooltown, which all lie within a mile of each other. In years gone by people came to the Luxborough area to mine iron ore and it was sent via the West Somerset Mineral Railway to Watchet on the coastline. In the 19th century the school was reported to have 200 pupils from the village and the iron mines in the Brendon Hills.

The ancient Church of St Mary in Churchtown is believed to date from Norman times, or some believe it may be Saxon times due to a Cross in the Churchyard. Today, St Mary's is a Grade II listed building.

Roadwater is situated 4 miles to the east and the popular village of Dunster is 4.5 miles to the north. Roadwater has a local shop, post office, village hall and an Inn and is situated approximately 4 miles from Williton, which has a larger range of shops providing for day to day needs.

Bridleways and footpaths crisscross near and through Luxborough, including the famous Coleridge Way which passes through the village.

Local amenities
Mill Cottage is situated on the outskirts of the pretty village of Luxborough. The Royal Oak Inn serves drinks and good food, approx 1 mile away.

Wheddon Cross (approx 5 miles) has a newly refurbished mini-supermarket with Post Office facilities and a petrol station with good opening times. Roadwater is also has a local shop and pub which serves food. Dunster is also approx 4 miles, but in the other direction, this wonderful medieval village is really worth a visit, it has lots of shops, restaurants, tea rooms and a village shop.

Minehead is the nearest town, approximately 7 miles away. Here you will find the larger supermarkets and petrol stations (Tesco and Morrisons are both situated on the outskirts of the town and have long opening hours), most major high street banks with cash machines, plus a range of other shops throughout the town.

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose as well as Cook from Taunton will deliver to the property.

We had a really enjoyable time at this cottage which is in a beautiful location. It is spacious, clean and well equipped. The grandchildren fed the ducks and chickens and met the dogs. They were extremely happy and thought the stream at the bottom of the garden was wonderful. Annette is very helpful and the children thought she was marvellous. You can walk over the fields to the local pub where the food is good. The lanes are windy and narrow. All in all, it was a great family holiday so thank you, Annette.

Mill Cottage is one of the best, if not the best holiday home we have stayed in. We holidayed there in July with our daughter, son in law, their two daughters (12 and 14) and the dog. The accommodation and location were just perfect for us. We were fortunate with the weather and we could get out to run, walk and visit favourite haunts (my husband was born in the area and our daughter has fond childhood memories of this part of the country) The cottage was very well equipped particularly the kitchen, which had very good quality utensils and pans etc. unlike many holiday cottages. The garden was perfect for the dog to run around in and we all loved the stream. It was evident a lot of thought had been put into furnishing and equipping the cottage. Annette was very helpful and we knew where she was if we wanted to see her, but we had exactly the right degree of privacy. As we love the area, it is very likely we will book Mill cottage again. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage, lovely home, great facilities. I hadn’t realised it was an upside down house and this I felt impacted on our experience as it wasn’t easy to cook and eat outside etc. Lemon cake on arrival was delicious. We would return, absolutely beautiful scenery and pub in the village great for drinks and meals.

Mill Cottage is in fantastic location. Our only feedback is that the kitchen could do with a good clean. We found we had to wash several utensils/cutlery before using and generally found it a bit grubby. Otherwise, a great stay in a lovely cottage.

Absolutely loved the location/grounds. Cottage was really cosy. Much more spacious than it looks in the photos. Accommodated the six of us around the kitchen table very nicely, with loads of space to spare. Really friendly and accommodating hosts. I highly recommend Mill Cottage and can’t wait to return. Did not want to leave! Thanks

Beautiful location, very rural and peaceful. The house is a great size and very comfortable. Location is perfect for exploring Exmoor but also travelling to the coast. You do have to navigate single lane country roads to get there which are a bit nervy for city drivers! But worth it for the views and peacefulness. The house was clean and well equipped but bring toilet roll. The showers were great, nice pressure and temperature. The weather was glorious for our stay so every meal was enjoyed in the beautiful garden. Would definitely recommend!

The property is well equipped and the garden has a stream at the bottom with farmland and hills beyond. There was a Shetland pony in the adjoining field that could be approached and stroked - great for the children. The property is set into the hill and having the bedroom downstairs made them deliciously cool despite being 30+ degrees outside. The local pub is just over a mile away and can be reached across the fields - hills are involved but the food and drink are worth the effort. It is the setting and the quiet I will miss most of all.
