  • "We enjoyed our few days away in Dulverton, the people are so friendly and helpful."

    Good fish and chip shop we didn’t get a chance to try the Thia Restaurant but the feed back from previous people highly recommended it. The holiday cottage was lovely and clean, this is the best holiday cottage we have been in and will definitely return. We had one problem, no hot water we contacted the owner and in record time a lovely polite Electrician attended, problem sorted and he even returned to ensure everything was ok. Talk about good efficient service.

  • "Comfy cottage in an excellent location."

    Dulverton has everything you’d want, it’s our 7th time staying near or in dulverton, first time at Proffits. This cottage is right in the center, it was warm and comfy. Very comfortable double bed. It had everything thing you need, washing machine, dish washer, iron, doggy bowls and towels. Our Westie stayed in the kitchen and was happy, especially after long walks to Exebridge. The garage fitted our new Mini Cooper perfectly. Would definitely stay again! Thanks for the lemon cookies.

  • "Right in the middle of the town, but tucked away down a little lane, the cottage is so quiet and peaceful."

    It’s very comfortable and everything is new and immaculate. The facilities were great, but especially the shower. Everything is done to a high standard. Very nice to have off road parking in the garage. Great location for exploring Exmoor. Would definitely stay again!

About the location

DULVERTON

Minehead 17 miles.

Dulverton is the southern gateway to the Exmoor National Park, a small town standing between the rivers Barle and Exe, which meet further down the valley. Dulverton has some quaint narrow streets weaving between fine Victorian buildings and a three arched bridge crossing the river leading to riverside walks. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs in Dulverton and in the square is the Exmoor National Park visitor centre and art gallery, offering plenty of inspiration for exploring the vast expanse of the moor on foot, on horseback or from behind the wheel. Why not try an off road safari around Exmoor to see red deer, wild ponies and rare birds? Exmoor has been designated as a Dark Sky Reserve, where the light pollution is low and plenty of stargazing can be done. Near to Dulverton is the majestic lake at Wimblewall Country Park, the first Dark Skies Discovery Centre on Exmoor. Wimblewall is also a premier trout fishing location, and provides tuition in numerous water sports, including sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. Further afield the North Somerset coastline has sandy beaches at Minehead, picturesque harbours and plenty of wild walking around Porlock Weir. A fabulous holiday destination for all those enjoying outdoor activities, dramatic landscapes and wildlife.
