Guests appreciate the property's secure off-road parking and enclosed courtyard, as well as its proximity to local shops, restaurants, and scenic walks.

Most guests found the cottage to be very clean upon arrival, with only one report of stained bed linen and a suggestion for better courtyard maintenance. The general standard of cleanliness appears to be high.
The location is highly regarded for its easy access to local amenities, scenic walks, and the village centre. The convenience and charm of Dulverton contribute to the positive experience of guests.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of the beds and the cosy nature of the property. The presence of en suite bathrooms for all bedrooms adds to the comfort level, although there are suggestions for better lounge seating for larger groups.
The property is praised for its well-equipped kitchen and high-quality equipment, but several guests noted the absence of a microwave and smaller kitchen items. Some minor maintenance issues were mentioned, such as difficulty with hot water and opening windows.
While some guests mentioned the lack of welcome gifts such as tea bags, milk, or a bottle of wine, these are not consistently referenced across the reviews. As such, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the available information.
About this property
Situated in the small town of Dulverton, tucked on the fringes of the beautiful Exmoor National Park in Somerset, is this charming detached cottage. The property has been completely renovated to provide an exceptional base for friends or families looking to escape to this wonderful part of Somerset. Entering the property, you go into the boot room, with hooks to hang your coats and space to leave your muddy boots before stepping through to the contemporary dwelling. Discover a large open-plan living space, with a kitchen wonderfully appointed to the front with quality grey units and sleek white worktops providing all the space you need to prepare some lovely home-cooked meals. There is a dining area with ample seating for families to gather for an evening meal or a hearty breakfast whilst planning the day's events. The sitting room has two large sofas where you can curl up under some blankets whilst the woodburning stove provides warmth for the winter months. Those quieter evenings can be filled with a selection of provided DVDs, or some games for some family fun. From here, there are four stairs leading up to a twin bedroom with a family bathroom adjacent to it, with the choice of a bath or shower over to prepare for your day in style. Following the stairs up to the first floor, you will discover two king-size bedrooms, each with their own en-suite shower room as an added bonus. Outside there is an enclosed courtyard where you can sit and unwind with a refreshing beverage or dine alfresco.
