Old Bridge Post Office

Roadwater is a delightful, friendly village and the cottage is very cute and quirky with lots of lovely features, especially the room over the river.

However we had issues working the oven and the TV - there are no instructions. I rang the owner for assistance and said instructions would be helpful and he said he appreciated that!!! Cleanliness was not quite up to Sykes standard. Luckily we found fresh linen to change one of the beds which was covered, in what we assumed, were dog hairs. There were also human hairs in the shower tray.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic little village.

Super friendly neighbours, loved the river room. Owner was very helpful when we had a problem with the electricity.

The property was well equipped and furnished.

The bifold room over the river was delightful. Sadly with roads on three sides of the property it was noisy and very overlooked. There was no welcome pack or information provided either on the property or surrounding area which was also a shame. Arriving to no washing machine was not good either. However, we had a good week and enjoyed staying in this lovely area.

We enjoyed our week in this lovely, well renovated, quirky cottage in Roadwater, a pretty village with friendly locals, a good shop and pub and excellent and varied local walks.

The cottage's river room is especially fab, with outdoor seating for warm weather if you are lucky enough! We would highly recommend this cottage as a place to stay, but perhaps more so for warm rather than very cold weather due to the hot water and heating issues we had: We arrived in a cold snap in March and the house was really quite cold; we think it was probably empty the week before our stay there and it took the electric wall and portable oil heaters well over 24 hours to get the place feeling warm enough. Luckily the log fire in the kitchen was great so we hunkered down in there. Also, the hot water system seemed inadequate to us for the size of the cottage; even after changing the settings for the water to come on for a good amount of time each day there still wasn't enough hot water to have a bath, but there is a good electric shower. In summary though, we had a super time and would be very happy to stay there again.

An amazing place to stay.

Very homely and relaxing. Friendly neighbours. Wish we stayed longer.

Lovely quirky property in a quiet village, located close to all amenities.

River room was lovely. Enjoyed reading the history of the old post office in book provided. Beds super comfy and lovely bath. (Need to put the booster on or not enough hot water for a bath) would have been nice to have a fire in the lounge, even if electric, as a focal point. Also there were lots of cobwebs everywhere.

Great stay in all aspects.

Good facilities. Nice welcome pack. Thoughtful owners.

We really loved staying in your quirky cottage, so much space inside.

Your cottage had everything we needed and the village was so amazingly friendly. Our whippet enjoyed his stay too so thanks for making it pet friendly.

We had a lovely stay, nice little village.

The shop & pub were very handy with friendly staff. The cottage was great with all its quirky features & decor & fully stocked with all the essentials . Super comfy beds & no outside noise, we slept like babies. A few snags, such as filling the bath, no big deal as the shower was there. The patio door locked was not working so we couldn’t make the best use of the riverside balcony, obviously there had been previous problems as a screwdriver was on the floor beside the door. The glass door could have had a wipe down as they were smeared with hand prints & smudges, there was also a broken guitar tucked behind the sofa in the living room. Would have been nice to have a welcome book to tell us about the house & things to do in the area. However the positives far outweigh the negatives & we had a very pleasant stay.

Had a lovely stay at the old post office,beautiful cottage in a lovely village,nice walks in the surrounding area,good shop in the village for most things,good food at the village pub,friendly people in a lovely area of exmoor

We had a lovely stay over Christmas with our 13month old son.

The cottage is beautiful and very comfortable. We would recommend and visit again.

An absolutely lovely property.

We have a small dog (cavapoo) so prefer to holiday in the UK and stay in holiday let's as opposed to hotels. We have therefore stayed in many over the past few years mainly in the South West. This holiday home is by far the best we have stayed in. It was cozy, warm, well furnished and with comfortable beds. The owners have done a fabulous job of renovating this quirky property. The village is pretty, has a shop a few yards away and a local pub (The Valient Soldier) that does excellent meals. We would love to return to Roadwater.

This place is absolutely wonderful, we have no complaints!

Great contact with owner, clean space (I've read a review about spider wbes, come on people

Loved the cottage renovated to a high standard situated in a lovely village.

one niggle was the hot water system .It took me two days to figure out how the Boost worked properly so we suffered lukewarm baths.A visitor guide book would be useful for this and for working the oven.Much appreciated were the three large size tv,s .Overall an excellent property and with guidance for the hot water would be five stars.

This is a beautiful cottage and well equipped with everything you need.

It is extremely cosy, the decking over the stream is fab. It is situated in a gorgeous little village with postcard cottages around. The hot water makes a horrendous noise when being used and runs out at times. This is the only criticism

Beautiful cottage in lovely friendly village!

Very comfortable beds and everything you need is supplied! We loved sitting out in the river room! Sunbeds would be a great addition!

Lovely quirky cottage.

Not suitable for people with mobility issues as the stairs going up to bedrooms and bathroom are definitely only for the able bodied. Tastefully decorated and everything you need like a home from home. Comfy beds and TV in bedrooms. Peaceful village. Friendly folk, nearby shop for essentials. I would return. Lovely walks locally and pub which we didn't visit however has a good reputation. Lovely log fire in the country kitchen. All round a great place!!

Excellent property in a lovely village, with large rooms and plenty of facilities.

The new 'garden' room is a great addition, looking out over the river. Both the village pub and village shop are very handy and welcoming. Only feedback is perhaps some 'how-tos' such as the patio doors, the heating, recycling etc. Also, the parking spot at the front is quite tight, as a couple of neighbours pointed out that we should park as near to the wall as possible - and careful not to go to near the bump near the bins.

Lovely quirky cottage but a bit more attention needs to be given to cleaning.

There were cobwebs in corners and like most holiday lets, the oven could do with a good clean. The property has a lovely decked area but I found the bi-fold doors quite difficult to open (don't know if this was related to the hot weather?). These should be checked however as the deck is a great feature and the only access is through these doors. Great little shop two minutes walk away and great pub two minutes in the opposite direction!

We had a great stay at the ‘Old Bridge Post Office’ - it was big enough for 4 adults and a dog and that is before the ‘river room’ is available.

The location is great for exploring this part of Somerset or for the 2 of our party who completed the Coleridge Way. The local people were very friendly and the community shop and local pub are both excellent. Thank you so much for our lovely holiday, you have clearly been working very hard renovating this pretty cottage in a very pleasant part of Roadwater.

Lovely cosy cottage.

This property is comfortable, well appointed and conveniently located for walking and exploring Exmoor and the coast.

The one thing lacking is a garden (and we knew this in advance) but I understand that the owner has plans to create a patio area above the stream.

Had such a great time here and the cottage was perfect.

The village and the people that live there are lovely too.
