Fantastic remote location but close enough to the amenities we needed, would recommend the coach house as a great location to explore exmoor national park, our host was very welcoming and informative and the welcome pack was much appreciated and enjoyed by everyone, the added bonus was the Raleigh’s cross inn which was a couple of miles up the road great staff matched by the food

Perfect for a quiet escape with dogs! We have 3 of them and a large crate was provided for our huge puppy and lovely dog beds for our smaller older dogs. There is also a large field that can be used to exercise them.Beautifully clean with underfloor heating and a log burner, so toasties too!All the rooms have en suites which was a real novelty for us.Amenities are a few miles away, but there are walks from the house.We highly recommend a visit to the Bettiscombe Inn. Altogether a fabulous place to stay.
