    “A lovely quirky cottage in a really friendly village which is ideally placed for exploring Exmoor by car or on foot.”

    Be aware (and it does tell you in the information) that it is not for the elderly/infirm, but for young active people it is great. The owners keep in touch to make sure your holiday is trouble free. Thank you we enjoyed ourselves.

    Thank you Carol. It is a very old thatched cottage built on a hill and full of character, there are some low ceilings and a steep but short flight of stairs to negotiate to the bedrooms.Many rooms are on different levels with a couple of steps to enter. For all these reasons we agree that it is not suitable for the elderly or infirm and are keen for active fit people to enjoy the cottage, who can appreciate the location and proximity to the moorland and coast of Exmoor. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed yourselves, we love being here. Property Owner
