Spotlessly clean, with everything you need for a great stay. Small garden for my dog early mornings and late evenings. It is very isolated so wouldn't want to have to actually take the dog out when dark. Having said that the surrounding area is beautiful and right on the edge of Exmoor. Just a shame about the weather!

We'd have loved it in our younger years. Sadly, we're now in our 70s and built more for comfort! The bed was very comfy, if rather creaky, which kept us awake, but the seating left a lot to be desired due to our proportions in comparison! . A fold up wall table and chairs might improve the dining situation. Space is at such a premium here that everything requires more thought than usual. A few tweaks would make a huge difference for visitor's comfort. Shelving in the kitchen area under the stairs would allow for more prep space. Mirror in shower room repositioned on opposite wall . Pictures hung mid way on walls not next to ceiling . More cushions on the sofa so they could be arranged to support your back would be lovely too. Unfortunately we could not work out how the wall radiator worked so we were cold. We should have asked for help perhaps. Would recommend if you're young and fit not old and fat! Welcome gifts were much appreciated, especially the eggs which we brought home with us. Beautiful surroundings and nice enclosed garden for those who take their four legged friends with them. Great shower...plenty of hot water. Studio spotlessly clean .
