This is the perfect getaway for us, the cottage is so well presented, and so warming to come back to after a long walk on the moors. Location is fantastic, which ever way you go ,you are spoilt for beautiful walks. Would be nice if sun appeared a little more,but this is Exmoor, a place we both hold dear in our hearts.
