Acorns Guest House

Accommodation Description:

Situated in a beautiful and fertile valley, or Combe, on the western edge of Exmoor National Park, Combe Martin lies at the centre of some of North Devon's most spectacular coastal scenery. The village is located by the sea and is on the South West coastal path and within easy reach of wonderful sandy beaches, the wild countryside of Exmoor National Park and many other attractions.

Our small, friendly, licensed guesthouse is just three minutes walk from the bay and the beach, We can offer long relaxing holidays, weekends away, romantic short breaks, coastal and country walks or cycling breaks.

The name was recorded as Comer in 1128. The 'Martin' affix on the placename is from the name of the FitzMartin who held the land from c.1100 to 1326. The village is a small seaside resort with a sheltered cove on the edge of the Exmoor national park.

Due to the narrowness of the valley, it is composed principally of one single long street which runs two miles from the valley head to the sea. The population is over 2500, with many Domesday Book families still in the area.
