Great property and fantastic location, we had some issues with the hot water tap in the kitchen as it did not open and was unable to be fixed over the Xmas period, we also found dirty utensils, burnt pots and generally uncleanliness, we tried to use the hover however it was so full it did not work and there was no replacement bags to change out the full bag. We did however have a great time

Lovely traditional cottage in the most wonderful of villages. The only downside is no garden space yet other than that we loved it.

We enjoyed our stay at The Boot in Dulverton. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable and was a very cosy place to stay for an autumn break, we loved the wood burning stove in the evenings. The kitchen was well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. Dulverton is a lovely place with good options of places to eat, with great pubs and cafes and a nice range of shops. It's a good location for pleasant walks from the cottage and there are lots of places to explore within a short drive.
