The Old Workshop

37 Customer Reviews

• "We had a wonderful stay at The Old Workshop which is in an excellent location for exploring Dulverton and Exmoor."

  The property is tastefully furnished to a high standard and is well equipped throughout. It has every comfort you would want including the dog and the boot room was an added bonus for walking in wet weather. It is somewhere we would definitely return to.

• "On our second visit we were just as delighted as the first time to see the facilities, the spaciousness, the 3 bathrooms and bedrooms, the kitchen and its equipment, large boot room for wet clothes, boots, etc, and secure parking behind substantial gates, It was lovely and warm with the central heating, and even hotter when the log burner was in use."

  Hopefully there will be more visits.

• "We had a lovely couple of weeks here."

  The property is superbly located for access to the village. A short level walk, 2 mins to shops and restaurants. Property dog friendly with a secure back garden. Property is close to road, road is quiet but the occasional traffic is loud. And a surprising amount of people walking by the windows, if your dog is sensitive to these things. Kitchen is well equipped, so no problems if you plan to cook. With plenty of places to buy local produce and a well stocked Co-op for everything else. Cafes and restaurants all dog friendly and nice if you plan to eat out. Would happily stay again and recommend to anyone.

  Lovely area. A broom would be handy for daily sweeping indoors. Would definitely recommend. Location was perfect for Exmoor walking. Garden small but completely enclosed.

• "The bed linen had old stains on it which was not pleasant."

  The accommodation was available from 4pm and I have to say the cleanliness of the accommodation could have been much better, the toilet brushes need to be replaced! The outside courtyard needs some attention, just to do a bit of weeding and empty dead plant pots does make this a big difference. Having to strip beds is a bit much in my view. Property has a lot of potential just needs some tlc.

  Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We review all feedback and take action as needed. We strongly disagree with the statements that cleanliness could have been better, and the property needs some tlc. Our cleaners take great pride in their work and the house is always spotlessly clean. The property has been completely renovated to a high standard and as owners we work hard to maintain the standard. The excellent record of feedback for the property clearly reflects this. Toilet brushes are never going to be pleasant things and bleach corrodes their appearance; all are replaced regularly, most recently after your stay. The courtyard was weeded the week before your stay and the planters contain spring bulbs which naturally die off in summer. The bed linen has been examined and we noticed some very small permanent marks which had not washed out; we agree that anything other than pristine bedding is not acceptable and these have been replaced.

• "What a lovely house."

  All the facilities you want - very well equipped kitchen, roomy dining and sitting areas, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms ( 2 of them en-suite), and off street parking in a road with few spaces. We’ll be back!

  ..great accommodation, well equipped, clean, comfortable and well located right in the centre of Dulverton. One very minor thing...a microwave would be very useful. Would highly recommend.

  Everything excellent. Might I suggest that a grab rail on the stairs could be an advantage.

• "Just returned home from a lovely stay."

  It was lovely and clean and very comfortable. Beds and bedrooms were spot on, nice en suites. Booking it very easy all instructions good. One very minor thing, no microwave which we probably would only have used a few times anyway to warm food. Town nice and close with a well stocked co op. Dog walks all close by. Hopefully be back.

• "A comfortable and roomy property ."

  Having all bedrooms with an en suite is great as is being able to off road park securely. A microwave ,small saucepan with a proper handle and a potato masher would make self catering easier. Dulverton is a town well served with shops, restaurants and pubs

• "Lovely property in a great location."

  Really good walks right on the doorstep plus just a short walk to the village centre where there are good independent shops and a well stocked CO-OP. We ate at the Bridge and Woods and food was excellent with very friendly staff. Lovely tea rooms as well. Very cosy property with good amenities and plenty of space for up to 6 people. Enclosed courtyard was nice to have as well.

• "The cottage was very comfortable and the beds were nice and soft."

  My only criticism was that there was only large saucepans and it would have been nice to have some smaller ones or at least a milk saucepan, with no microwave it was difficult when heating milk for coffee etc. Also a fire glove would have been safer for putting logs on the wood burner . Dulverton is a lovely town and very friendly with lots of independent shops.

• "We really enjoyed our stay in Dulverton."

  The cottage was well equipped and nicely furnished. The quality of the kitchen equipment is high (induction etc) and plenty of crockery, sharp knives etc. Lots of nice touches including blankets on the beds, a few dishwasher tablets, all the rubbish bags you'll need, wood included so you feel really welcome. A bottle of wine and some local biscuits would have topped it off! Dulverton is a great place to explore from, with easy access to the moor and great walks, but also with a thai restaurant/takeaway and co-op, as well as a butcher, and several pubs. The pub at Withypool is highly recommended for a great sunday lunch. The weather wasn't great all the time but we had a great time.

  The village of Dulverton, where it is located, has very good dining options and good walking for the dog. Fantastic countryside all around and a 30 minute drive to the sea. Great cottage and location.

• "Our second visit to this cottage."

  Dulverton is very pretty and the locals super friendly. Plenty of places to eat on your doorstep. Only negative feedback is for six people seating in lounge is a bit tight. There was only four of us this time but brought our own bean bags first time as we’d observed this by photos

• "Very nice stay - we would highly recommend the cottage and Dulverton."

  Very comfortable beds and bathrooms. Kitchen had everything we needed. Great walks nearby. Woods restaurant was excellent. Not sure why the hot water went off at 10.30pm? We did go to bed later than that - it was New year and we washed in cold water! Also would have loved a few Tbags and milk for our arrival after a 5 hour journey! Our friends had all food and drink in their car and arrived late. We go away each New Year and always have a bottle of bubbly left for us!! Minor points really - but just leaving some feedback! Thank you - all six of us had a great time.

  The location was superb and the cottage itself was too. Comfortable, warm and well equipped. The only slight disappointment were the lack of Christmas decorations! A small thing, but as it was Christmas I assumed there would be some. We’d definitely recommend the cottage and plan to go back.

• "The pictures online do not do the cottage justice - it really is absolutely lovely inside!"

  The heating was on when we arrived which made it very welcoming and everything was impeccably clean. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need except a microwave which is the only improvement the cottage could possibly make… that and lose the awful cow hide rug, it made our flesh crawl walking on it! All the beds were very comfy and the WiFi worked well, it was great having somewhere to park too. Maybe a mini ‘welcome pack’ with a few goodies from The Tantivy (local shop) wouldn’t have gone a miss, considering the cost of staying there… just a suggestion x

  Thanks for a great time The property is set on a road & the smell of diesel is present if the bedroom windows are open, also the shower room smells of damp however that said it is still a great place to stay The only other issue which does not reflect on the property is that there are not many eateries in the village therefore booking is advisable.

  Everything great in cottage, and would go back but however, we had loads of flies buzzing about and wood lice in one of the bedrooms . Not sure why… just kept spraying fly spray everyday - couldn’t work out why?

• "Lovely clean and comfortable cottage with all mod cons, but surprisingly no microwave despite there being ample room."

  Great having 3 bathrooms so each couple had their own. Thankfully, we took spare loo rolls as there were no spares and one bathroom only had half a roll to start with. Would have appreciated a summer duvet with much lower tog value as very hot and we never managed to unlock/open the windows. Despite the minor grumbles we had a very enjoyable stay and would revisit.
