Mrs Roffe 
“The cottage is a little tired & dated.”
The wood burner glass front needed a good clean and then we could fully appreciate the cosines. Not difficult to do, a cloth and spray and a good wipe did it. The kitchen smells v musty.. not pleasant and can only assume from the fridge/ freezer- the kitchen needs a good overhaul really and is far too dark even with the light on in there.

Bedrooms lovely & big and an amazing super king size bed! Cottage was warm & comfortable.
- Mrs Roffe, October 2020 Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We take all our feedback seriously. The glass on the wood burner is cleaned regularly and there is extra lighting under the top cupboards in the kitchen. We have also investigated the smell you mentioned. If you would have contacted us we would have done our utmost to rectify things immediately. We are so pleased that you found Ash Cottage warm and comfortable and the bedrooms and Super king bed lovely. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us and thank you once again for your feedback.

Mr Beales “This is a lovely cottage and well appointed.”
The WiFi is excellent and much appreciated. There were 4 of us and the two bedrooms with on suite facilities making it very comfortable for four people. If I had to make comment as the four of us are in our seventies grab handle and non slip bath mat in the baths would help for access. The owners had put some scones, cream and jam to welcome us which we enjoyed after our slightly tough journey down. Cottage well situated with the Tarr steps down the road and easy drives to Dunster, Minehead, Porlock and Lynmouth. Great Break.
- Mr Beales, September 2020 Mr Jansen “The cottage was warm and comfortable and in a great location for exploring Exmoor and the north Devon coast.”
It was also well equipped with plenty of storage for food items etc. The only disappointment was that the decor and some of the fittings were looking rather tired and there were one or two things that really needed fixing. Our stay was at the end of the season and the cottage opposite was having its annual "deep clean" so, hopefully, the owner plans to rectify the defects over the winter.
- Mr Jansen, November 2019 Mrs Donald “If you expect state of the art fittings and furnishings from your holiday accommodation then don't book this cottage but if you love a warm and comfortable cottage in a beautiful location with great walks from the doorstep and a pub serving great food just half a mile away and a bustling town with supermarket, butchers, fruit & veg shop and bakery just a short drive away then book this cottage.”
You won't be disappointed. It's all about expectations. The cottage doesn't have an enclosed garden, despite being told by the booking agent that it did, so dog owners will need to be prepared to do the early morning and bedtime shuffle. But we had a lovely stay.
- Mrs Donald, October 2019 Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your stay at Ash Cottage. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the cottage and its location. Although we do not advertise the property as having an enclosed garden we are aware that when made further inquiries our web live chat team passed on incorrect information and for this we are very sorry.

Mr Burt “The cottage and its location are lovely, ideal for a quiet week driving around the moors or going up to Dunster/Minehead.”
It has bags of character but is getting a little tired. I had to do a few small maintenance jobs such as the loose toilet flush handle and emptying the washing machine of the last person's water. The double glazing suffers from internal condensation. The front door is sticking. None of these spoilt our holiday but generally the place could do with a bit of tlc. Dulverton is a very nice town having all we needed. The chip shop is very good and the Coop is well stocked. The museum is small but well worth a visit. My best moments were just parking in one of the frequent areas on the side of the road, enjoying the view and watching the birds, ponies, sheep and cattle.
- Mr Burt, August 2019 Mr Ceresa “A beautiful cottage in a rural setting well equipped ,a short walk to the tarr steps .”
And we can recommend the tarr farm inn to eat a fantastic evening meal . This is an idea holiday for those with dogs ,unfortunately we did not take our dog with us in the end ,as he was away at my daughters in Rutland highly recommend
- Mr Ceresa, July 2019 Mr Costanzo “The cottage we stayed in was beautiful.”
Nicely furnished with everything you would ever need while away. The nearest village was a 10 minute drive away which you could get pretty much everything you needed. Tarr steps was a 10 minute walk away from the cottage and well worth a visit.
- Mr Costanzo, May 2019 Mr Hogben “Excellent base location for exploring Exmoor but approach roads are narrow and some quite steep.”
While general standard and cleanliness of the cottage along with level of equipment is good we felt it was let down by an ill fitting front door that needed adjusting and a washing machine that was full of stagnant water. Please note we did not report the door issue to the owner (as one would assume that they would have checked the accommodation prior to our arrival and had chosen not to rectify) nor the washing machine as apart from anticipating somebody would have checked it was clean before we arrived, we only noted the issue the day before departure (so just initially emptied with a spin cycle then ran a ninety degree wash).
- Mr Hogben, April 2019 Thank you for your feed back, it is much appreciated. I will look into the issue, I am only across the road if you wished to have come and found me. Property Owner
Dr Davies “The cottage was warm & cosy upon arrival, something that is important but often doesn't happen.”
There was also a nice welcome gift of milk & cake. The furnishings were all of a very good standard, and little extras like small torches were provided, useful for dogs needing to go out after dark.. Although we did not need to use it, there were plenty of supplies for the wood burning stove too, again not always provided in other cottages we have stayed in. Tablets for the dishwasher & washing machine were also helpfully provided. However, barely enough toilet roll was provided. And the kitchen could have benefited from a few more mugs & teaspoons, plus a one-mug cafetiere for a cottage that sleeps 5 was very inadequate.
- Dr Davies, March 2019 Miss Austin “Cottage was lovely.”
Area was beautiful.
- Miss Austin, February 2019 Miss Pidgeon “The cottage was beautiful really clean, comfortable and in a gorgeous area.”
Im really happy that we were able to bring our dog too, she had a lovely time exploring the countryside and nearby beach. By the end of the holiday none of us wanted to go home! Would definitely recommend!
- Miss Pidgeon, December 2018 Liscombe Farm Cottages

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.
