Elaine and Michael were very welcoming and attentive. The cottage was very clean and well equipped and had lots of information on hiking, local restaurants and supermarkets etc.. The cottage is well situated for exploring Exmoor and it is not too far to venture south to Dartmoor. Thank you for a great stay.

Elaine, the host was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about the local area, and took time to make sure we were settling in, and her welcome biscuits were delicious! The cottage is lovely - extremely clean, comfortable and has all the facilities you need for a stay in the country. It's in a great location for exploring Exmoor and the local villages and towns. Thank you so much Elaine - will definitely return in 2024!
