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.

We had a lovely stay at the Boot. A beautiful and very well equipped cottage. There were 4 of us celebrating a ‘big’ birthday! The location was perfect, and we were able to park our car directly outside. The village is small, but has plenty of places to eat, and some cute little shops.The property itself was perfect. Lovely comfy bedrooms, and a huge lounge, cosy dining room and a fantastic kitchen. With two bathrooms so no queuing in the morning!!We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay, and would highly recommend
