Ideally placed for visiting coast and moor, Somerset and Devon. Beautiful location and plenty of places to visit close by. The standard in this cottage is far superior to any that we have visited anywhere in the UK. It is truly a home from home. It's clean, warm and comfortable and everything is.... Ideally placed for visiting coast and moor, Somerset and Devon. Beautiful location and plenty of places to visit close by. The standard in this cottage is far superior to any that we have visited anywhere in the UK. It is truly a home from home. It's clean, warm and comfortable and everything is of the highest quality. We really couldn't fault anything. Thank you. The Exmoor Forest Inn opposite has excellent service and food and many placed in the surrounds also offer good cuisine.

A lovely, cosy, comfortable cottage in a beautiful part of Exmoor. Great location for walking but also for getting to the coast. Excellent, friendly pub opposite so we could go out for supper without having to drive. A great place to spend a week. We’d love to come back.
