  • "A lovely place to stay with everything we needed."

    Ideal for a first holiday with our rescue spaniel who enjoyed looking for rabbits in the field! Thank you for the cake and bread which were delicious. We will return if we visit Somerset again.

    Hi Andrew. Great to hear you enjoyed your stay with us, and more importantly your rescue spaniel had a good time as well. There are certainly plenty of rabbits, and other wildlife for all to look at. We look forward to welcoming you again should you ever return to Somerset. Best wishes Jo and Adrian Property Owner

  • "One of the best cottages we’ve stayed at!"

    The hosts were amazing, even ringing their vet for us and arranging an appointment in what turned out to be a very serious problem. Thank you so much Adrian and Jo for your concern and care! The cottage was well equipped, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated with everything you could possibly need and because of the dog was a godsend as normally we eat out all the time! The bed was so comfortable like sleeping on a cloud! Marvellous! Due to the dog we spent a lot more time in the cottage and the garden than we would normally and it was peaceful and quiet! Our GSD dogs had a lovely time in the garden that was surrounded by a picket fence. There is a large designated parking space just behind the cottage though you’re able to unload to front. We found the cottage fit us and two dogs comfortably. The location is ideal for walkers, beach lovers and castle/shops explorers. Really enjoyed our stay here despite everything an

    Comfortable bed, couch and arm chairs . A lovely wellcome pack was there for us, including essentials and a delicious homemade drizzle cake. Jo and Adrian were very welcoming, helpful and friendly without being obtrusive. As well as the garden at the cottage, Jo offered us the use of her own garden and summerhouse, overlooking her garden pond , and the guest garden , there was also a field where our puppy could run off lead. It was a very quiet and peaceful (except when Adrian mowed the lawns

    If you want a relaxing peaceful break then this is the place for you and great that it’s dog friendly as well. Lovely welcome pack which included fresh bread which annoyingly I left behind! And dog treats!! Jo and Aidrian were great hosts and very approachable. Lots to do in the local area but too much to do in week so will have to return!!

    Set in the heart of Exmoor in the owners own land which they encourage you to use freely, including their own garden with a magnificent pond. The cottage is well equipped and deceptively large for a one bedroomed place. The area has so much to offer and a week simply wasn't long enough to see everything. Thanks so much Jo and Adrian.

  • "The property owners were very open and friendly and even allowed us to wander around their own large garden and pick fruit from the shared garden."

    We did raise an issue with them on departure regarding four very large spiders in the property and as my wife is an arachnophobe it was not the best of experiences and we did not agree with the practice of leaving doors and windows open between guests visits as this allows the spiders and fly's which were also in the property to get in. The wi-fi was also intermittent in operation and did not link up with the tv to allow catch up tv, this I did not mention as it seemed irrelevant at the time. On a positive note the property was very comfortable, spacious with all the facilities from home to home. The shower was very good and the bed mattress excellent. So many properties we hire have appallingly cheap mattresses and you wake up in the morning in agony. This mattress was first class and allowed us a good nights sleep (apart from the spider worries).

    Hi Andrew. Many thanks for your feedback, and really pleased you had an overall comfortable stay. It is extremely important that properties are fully aired in between guests, and ever since covid is general practice. We have not had any previous feedback on issue's with spiders, but have now ordered some spider repellent plugs. It does seem a bad year for insects, as reported on TV. Great you loved the mattress. They are locally sourced from Relyon which is based in Wellington Somerset. Property Owner
