From the top gate of the farm, guests can walk up to the summit of Dunkery Beacon, where the views are far-reaching.

Visit the Medieval town of Dunster with its variety of shops, cafes and castle. Other points of interest include the West Somerset Steam Railway, Valley of the Rocks and Lynton and Lynmouth with its water powered cliff railway.

On entering this cottage, you will go straight into the lounge which is a perfect place to enjoy time with family and friends where you can all enjoy watching a movie on the TV/DVD. In the summer, you can open the stable door to let the outside in and in the cooler months light the wood burner for a cosier feel. Two steps lead down to a separate kitchen/diner which is a perfect room to enjoy some family meals together and is well-equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge with ice compartment. Heading upstairs you will find two twin bedrooms (which can be made up as super king-size zip-and-link on request), one of the bedrooms has a small balcony. The family shower room is also on this floor and has a shower and WC. Regret no children under the age of 16.

Venturing outside through the stable door guests will find an enclosed decked area with seating, here you can enjoy the warm Somerset evenings and the far-reaching views. Proceed down three steps to the small enclosed garden where you can relax and enjoy a glass of wine. With dogs in mind there is also a useful dog kennel and run located below the decking steps.

Nice cottage in a beautiful location. We had two boarder terriers with us and they enjojed the small garden and stream, and we liked it was fully enclosed. We also enjoyed having access to the small fields adjacent, for an evening stroll. The cottage is set in a very peaceful location and in a beautiful setting. While remote it is not far from lRead moreocal pub and amenities and a good base for travel around Exmoor. We went to Dulverton, Lynmouth, Lynton, Bossington and Porlock as well as numerous small hamlets and villages in the heart of the park. Good walk up on the moor and beautiful river valleys at Horner, Dulverton and East Lyn and a lovely walk around Bossington Hill and beach. Hide

Cottage was generally fine. Different to home is always a challenge, but easily adapted to in this case. Loved the big bed, hot water was impressive. Toilet a bit difficult if you're over 6' tall. Only 2 adults on this booking. Wouldn't have been comfortable with 4 adults & 2 dogs. Excellent location for peaceful idyll and great for accessing ExmooRead morer Hide

A very peaceful and comfortable cottage in a beautiful location. It was a great base for exploring the Exmoor area. We would recommend stopping off at the local village shop In Wheddon Cross before arrival as the cottage does not provide a welcome pack on arrival- a small pint of milk would have been very welcome after our long journey.

Stags View was exactly what we needed & surpassed expectations. Perfect escape for peace & quiet. Tucked away on beautiful Exmoor, with great local walks.
