The accommodation is spotlessly clean and spacious. The Outlook is situated down a very quiet country lane with stunning views across to Exmoor and is perfect for a relaxing break, but there are plenty of places to visit just a short drive away. Sitting in the hot tub at the end of the day watching the sunset is heavenly. We will definitely be back again!
