Beautiful, comfortable, well laid out cottage but too remote for us. One of our party uses a mobile scooter and a walk out from the cottage was impossible as the lanes were too narrow to risk it so we had to use the car everyday. Some of the crockery was dirty particularly a jug with gravy down the side and the frying pans. Both whisks are rusty.

Great location for Exmoor. Really comfortable cosy cottage with everything you need. So lovely to have a welcoming bottle of wine, biscuits and milk too! Especially after a long drive. Very short drive back up the road for morning dog walking if required.

Nice cottage ,very well equipped,although no washing machine. Quite isolated and nowhere really for the dog to have his morning and evening walk,without having to drive somewhere. Overall more than adequate for what we wanted.

The cottage was beautiful. Location was perfect. I came down for a week to work while I was having some renovations done at home and everything I needed was provided. From the little touches of milk in the fridge and the facilities themselves were just perfect. Very relaxing home from home

A fabulous, comfortable, fully equipped cottage in a beautiful area. The view from the cottage is amazing. The cottage was suitable for my elderly parents. We all had an amazing holiday. There were plenty of woodland walks close by for us to take our dog. Would definitely recommend staying at this cottage and we have planned on returning next year.Read more Hide

We had a fantastic family stay at the Cowshed. Such a lovely place to stay in beautiful surroundings. The cottage was spotlessly clean, all essentials like handwash & dishwasher tablets were also supplied which was great. Having the ponies and deer right outside your doorstep is amazing.
