Barleside

We had a multi generation family holiday at Barleside.

We all had a great time, the house was in an excellent position for the village and the proximity to the river meant that we could sit on the verandah and watch the various birds. We were delighted to see the Kingfishers daring about and catching fish. The house was very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. Beds were comfy. Although there is no parking, we were able to unload and reload then park a short distance away.

Barleside is cozy, warm and comfortable and has some nice homely touches.

It is also ideally situated in the town. We have booked to return!

Beautiful spot riverside Cosy country cottage Gorgeous log burner Barleside has it all A home from home x

Great cottage right in the village.

Garden is really nice alongside the river. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Although there is no parking with the cottage, we had no problem parking on the road at the end of the lane and the main car park is only a short walk away. Overall - great little place.

We loved the area and it was lovely to look out over the river and watch the kingfisher darting up and down.

The furniture was not the most comfortable, the chairs in the living area and the dining chairs.

Lovely break in a very comfortable cottage.

We had everything we needed and the cottage is in a great location,close to the local shops and plenty of places to eat,fantastic walks close by aswell.

The property inside was lovely, very clean and the beds were very comfortable, but outside needed a lot of TLC, the lawn didn't look like it had been cut in weeks, all the borders were very untidy, and the decking hadn't seen a broom all year,also one peice of decking is rotten with splinters, but the main problem is parking ,the advert says parking on road ,but the cottage isn't on the road, only a track to the vets, who weren't very helpful when trying to unload and pack to leave, there is a car park at £5.

50 day, but that adds a lot of money to a week's holiday, and very inconvenienced when it's raining, unfortunately we wouldn't go back because of the parking situation

Absolutely amazing cottage in an amazing little village.

the cottage is Immaculately clean and comfortable . Sitting outside with a beer with nothing to listen too but the river that runs along side was a dream. Grump are bull dog loved chilling in the garden. I’ve never stayed anywhere before were I’ve actually felt emotional to leave. The owners are so lucky to own a little piece of heaven. Thank-you thank-you for sharing your beautiful home. Will definitely be booking again.

Fantastic stay.

Lovely comfortable house. Particularly wonderful to wake up to the sound of the river. Had a great meal at The Bridge Inn a minutes walk from the property. Thoroughly enjoyed Dulverton and hope to visit again very soon.

Lovely cottage.

Great place to stay it would be very difficult to rate this lovely property anything less then a 5

A well equipped holiday property with everything you need for your comfort, lovely outdoor space over-looking the river, with a covered porch area so you can still sit outside even when the weather isn't playing.

ball. Close to the pubs and shops and walks from the doorstep. Lovely seeing the kingfishers, the window seat in the upstairs bedroom gives you the best view of these rarely seen birds!

Lovely cottage.

Clean, tidy and everything you need for weeks holiday. Some observations: The cookery knives in the kitchen drawer were as blunt as a butter knife. A sharpen would not go amiss. Not having on-site parking was a little inconvenient but saying that, most evenings we managed to find somewhere a short walk away. We could not find a hoover to give the floors a once over. The bath towels were a little small for those of us above average size. Otherwise a lovely place to base ourselves for the week.

A very pleasant stay cottage is well equipped watching kingfisher’s with your first brew is a must plenty of walks and attractions near by

Lovely week away.

Everything we needed was in the property. Clean and tidy, location was lovely. Thankyou

Nice property however listed as 6 berth.

6 adult would be cramped in living quarters. Table only seats 4. Upstairs carpet needs replacing evidence of moths.

Lovely stay in this wonderful place.

We had everything we needed in the property and the local shops, cafe's and pub were excellent. Parking may be an issue but we managed to park on the street and car parks are no more than five minutes walk away.

We loved it, the cottage was well equiped and brilliantly located for us as we come down for the Dulverton Food and Craft Festival and everything in wakling distance

A lovely week's stay in a fabulous location.

The house is immaculate and our stay enhanced by the care and attention given to the small details. Plenty of linens, luxury toiletries and, especially welcome, guides and walk books available. The biscuits on arrival were welcome too! All together a five star stay. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

The cottage was perfect for our Christmas getaway- it was warm and spacious, and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay.

Dulverton high street was great to explore on wetter days, Burridge Woods made for lovely walks on the drier days, and the Tarr Steps are a 15 minute drive away. Highly recommended for any one looking for a base to explore South Exmoor!

Amazing setting on riverbank next to village centre.

Very quiet yet close to local amenities.Plenty of street parking nearby.Hope to return soon.

We had a fabulous time and made some precious family memories at Barleside.

The layout was perfect for our group. My only criticism is the downstairs double is quite basic when compared to the beautiful space upstairs. My elderly parents had the downstairs room as they can't get upstairs- and it would have been nice for us to know they had as special a room. I know you can't please everybody all the time and we loved the twin with the river view. Also a couple of comfy Sun loungers would be perfect- but if we came again we could always bring our own. We loved Dulverton and would like to come back, without hesitation we would book Barleside again. We didn't have any issues with free parking very close to the cottage, it wasn't a problem.

Thank you for a great holiday.

Lovely location, well maintained, comfortable and thoughtfully equipped cottage. We managed to find a parking space most days so only had to pay for parking 1 day, you may need to budget for parking if you are not so lucky, but well worth it. Great communication too. Lots to explore from the door step and close to lots of great places to explore too.

lovely village/town.

lovely area, very tranquil, home is situated by a river and a very short distance from the pubs, restaurants, cafes, and shops. Must be careful when going out of the door you must be aware of traffic to the vets. Bus service though is not very good.

Cottage was clean, warm and comfortable and Dulverton is a nice little place with plenty of shops and eating places.

The upstairs bedroom and bathroom are really spacious and the layout ideal for two couples. The outside seating area was lovely. I do agree with previous comments about the indoor seating, there is really only comfortable seating for 3 people in the living room. Also, I think the property description should make the parking situation clearer, we could not park outside to unload, as the narrow access lane was too busy with traffic to and from the veterinary practice. There isn't much unrestricted parking in Dulverton either, so you may end up paying for the car park (currently £5 per day). However, those were only minor issues and we would happily book again.

We had a lovely holiday in Barleside, the property is convenient for the village and pubs/eateries.

We travelled or walked every day, lots of places of interest at Somerset and Dulverton is a lovely place. The property is well equipped, however, the seating area could be more comfortably furnished. We would go back to Barleside again and would recommend it to anyone that wants a peaceful holiday with lovely river views.

We had a very nice time there would reccomend it to anyone who wants a peacefully holiday with amenities close by and views with the river flowing

Hi, what an amazing location in the beautiful town of Dulverton.

So many shops and places to eat and drink. Many great walks. The house is lovely and we had everything we need. My only comment would be that it needs some more comfortable seating in the living room would be nice. It is perfect for 4 people but advertised for 6. Another small sofa would be perfect. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean on arrival.
