About this property
In a tranquil corner of Exmoor National Park, The Old Malt House offers the perfect combination of modern living and character and charm. The property has been lovingly renovated by the new owners whilst retaining period features including beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplace and a hidden well.
Accommodation
The Old Malt House kitchen has recently been renovated and fitted with new appliances to include electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, washing machine, slimline dishwasher, kettle, filter coffee machine and toaster.
There is a 50" Smart TV in the sitting room area, which is on a swivel arm so can be enjoyed from the large four seater sofa or from the kitchen/dining area.
The property benefits from ultrafast fibre broadband, though due to the thickness of the internal walls, there is limited wifi available in the bedrooms and bathroom. There is also no phone signal on most mobile networks, though wifi calling is possible.
The Old Malt House houses a games room, which is accessed from the kitchen, and includes a table-tennis table plus a selection of board games, books and extensive DVD collection. Please note that the games room has not yet been renovated and is not quite as luxurious as the rest of the property!
Electricity and heating costs are included in the price of your accommodation. The Old Malt House has recently been fitted with state of the art 'smart' electric radiators, which ensure cosy evenings in the winter. These radiators are pre-programmed to provide optimum comfort but can be adjusted to suit your preferences. There is also a large wood-burner in the sitting room; a starter basket of logs, kindling and firelighters will be provided and further logs can be purchased locally. The cottage is double glazed throughout. In the summer months, the thick external walls keep the cottage deliciously cool.
Bed linen and towels are provided for your convenience.
Dogs are welcome (maximum of 3 dogs per booking), for a supplement of £15 per dog. Please do not leave your dog/s alone in the property at any time or allow them on the furniture or in the bedrooms.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet in a cosy countryside setting, this is the perfect place to relax. We stayed at the property with our two children and dog and we had plenty of room and everything we could need during our stay. Whilst in a quiet location you are only a 25 minute drive from Minehead, Dunster and Blue anchor. It was lovely to go out exploring but come home to the cosy wood burning fireplace! The property was absolutely spotless…. It is by far the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Being a ‘dog-friendly’ property we assumed there may be the odd dog hair or doggie ‘smell’ but there were no signs at all! Communication was quick and we were provided with very detailed instructions on how to find the property/how to access the lockbox. (We arrived in the dark so think the ‘what three words’ reference would have been an extra help to locate!) We would absolutely recommend!

Charming cottage in very private and peaceful surroundings. We especially enjoyed having a log fire and seeing the stars when the weather was clear!

Comfortable, well equipped cottage in a beautiful location. Our dog found all the nearby pheasants very exciting - good job he was on the lead!
