First visit to Ormrods although have been visiting Exmoor for over 30 years - we were delighted with the property which is very comfortable and well equipped. The weather was incredible and at times far too hot but the house provided some cool comfort especially when the bifold doors onto the terrace were fully open - the views are delightful, just hope the trees and shrubs do not encroach too much on the vista. We would not hesitate to recommend Ormrods and should like to thank the Owners for letting us share their home. We hope to return next year!
