It is also close to many Exmoor attractions. The cottage is lovely, very well equipped and furnished to a high standard. We stayed here over the Christmas week and the friendly and helpful owner had decorated the cottage beautifully which was a lovely touch. We loved our stay and would happily recommend a break here.

Thanks for the welcome pack. Three minor things that would make it perfect ( in our opinion. Being a dog owner the garden would be great if chicken wire or similar were attached to the fencing ( as it is on the drive in) then it would be fully enclosed The bed in the smaller double bedroom is quite small The shower downstairs doesnât runaway very quickly. All rather minor but would complete a pleasant stay.

Very peaceful yet close enough to the road to get about.
