Most guests found the property very clean and well-kept, with only one review mentioning pet hair on arrival. The majority praised the immaculate condition and high standards of cleanliness.

The rural, peaceful location with beautiful views is a major highlight. Some guests noted the remoteness and distance to beaches or attractions, but most appreciated the tranquillity and access to countryside walks.

Guests frequently described the cottage as cosy, comfortable, and relaxing, with comfortable beds and furnishings. One review mentioned discomfort with the upstairs beds and suitability for children, but overall comfort was highly rated.

Facilities are generally praised, including well-equipped accommodation and good maintenance. Minor issues included an old shower, a broken fridge shelf, and limited toilet paper, but these were exceptions rather than the norm.

Centred on a cobbled courtyard with a pond, the properties benefit from the use of their own private sitting-out area as well as a very large, well-maintained garden with stunning views across the countryside. There are some great walks from the farm up onto Exmoor which is designated as an International Dark Sky Reserve, and there are a number of walks on the estate that take you down through woods and along valleys by rivers and past lakes. The walks are mainly off road and a wide variety of wildlife can be seen, from the wild red deer that Exmoor is famous for, to the tiny but vibrant kingfisher. On the estate there are 2 spring fed lakes; these have a population of wild brown trout. Fishing on the lakes is available in the fishing season. Access is by foot or by 4x4 vehicle as they are both located along farm tracks unsuitable for cars. Please ask for directions to the lakes.

The village of North Molton, a short drive away, has a good local pub. The larger town of South Molton has a wider range of shops and local amenities.

During your stay, there is plenty to see and do. Highlights on the moor include the pretty village of Withypool, and the the famous and ancient Tarr Steps. Climb to Exmoor’s highest point at Dunkery Beacon, and then pop into the Dulverton for an afternoon cream tea. There is extensive walking to suit all abilities across the moor, and towards the coastline there are dramatic, steep cliffs at Countisbury. In the Victorian towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, there is plenty to see and do, and the two towns are connected by the famous funicular cliff railway. Other local highlights include the Valley of the Rocks, and there is also access to the South West Coast Path. For good beaches, head up to Woolacombe, Putborough, Croyde and Saunton. You will be able to enjoy some of the best beaches in the country with surfing and rock pooling.

    A lovely barn conversion, warm, clean and comfortable with amazing views. If you're looking for some peace and quiet this is a good place for a holiday! Good living space with underfloor heating. The only down side was to do anything you need to get in the car - not many walks from here as you'd have to walk along the roads (single track with fast speed limits). Plenty of good walks within a 15 minute drive away, so it didn't stop us having a great holiday!
