If you were looking for cottages like Greenaleigh Cottage, how about trying these:

A holiday at Greenaleigh Cottage begins with an adventure – a mile long drive along a partially unmade track with its dramatic drop to the sea on one side as it winds along the coastal path through beautiful woodland to Greenaleigh Point. Set high on the edge of Exmoor National Park and overlooking National Trust fields, this detached former barn offers panoramic views out to sea, the twinkling lights of Wales visible across the Channel on a clear night. With just Old Greenaleigh Farm (1309) and one other property as neighbours, this is a truly relaxing location. Inside, the living-room has a wood-burner effect oil-fired stove, a piano – ideal for musical evenings – and a polished wooden spiral staircase leading to two pretty bedrooms. A second wooden staircase leads to the lower ground floor, where the wide tiled passage, convenient for boots and coats, has French windows to the enclosed garden, boasting magnificent views. A footpath leads down to the secluded beach, well worth the walk across the fields and stony foreshore to explore the sands and rock pools at low tide. Picturesque Dunster, Porlock and the beach at Blue Anchor Bay are also within easy driving distance. The water supply is from a spring, which is tested regularly.
