Toads Breech Garden

TOADS BREECH'S  PRIVATE GARDEN AREA

Toads Breech self catering holiday cottage has its own private garden area for its guests' enjoyment.

The main area faces west and has mown lawn with garden furniture and movable barbecue.  On one side it is screened by an old barn, (in the right side of this photo), whose near part is available to cottage, (e.g. for cycle or fishing rod storage).  Its other main, right hand side, boundary is a "seasonal pond", with tall beech trees on a bank behind it.   This pond may have up to 2 -3 feet of water -- care with very young children.  Because of our rural location within the unspolit Exmoor National Park and its un-manicured style, the garden is visited by an interesting variety of birds and animals. If you sit quietly, for long enough, you might even see the beast of Exmoor!!

A rough stone walkway leaves from the garden up into our largest field, (whose name on the 1850 tythe map has been used for this cottage).  Guests are welcome to walk and picnic in this field when it is not being grazed by neighbours, sheep or cattle.  Wild red deer are sometimes seen in this field and there are fine views west and north west towards Dunkery Beacon, Exmoor's highest point. Part way along this walkway is an entrance to our Orchard Field which is dedicated to the enjoyment of the guests from both cottages e.g. quiet relaxation, maybe with a pair of binoculars, a book or some appropriate "sustenance", for children's ball games, or gentle strolling.  (See our page "outside", or go directly to by clicking on the link below:)

There is also a small, secluded and very sheltered, south facing, area tucked below the gable end of this cottage, which catches the morning sun.
