Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with several guests specifically mentioning the cleanliness. This suggests a high standard of hygiene and care.
The location is highly praised for its outstanding scenery, proximity to local amenities, and the abundance of nearby walks. The peacefulness and the views are frequently highlighted.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially with the log burner. However, one guest found the pillows slightly hard, which slightly affects the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the cottage being well-equipped and having modern amenities like Wi-Fi and Netflix. Some guests mention minor maintenance issues and suggest updates, particularly in the bathroom.
While guests have mentioned thoughtful touches like cake on arrival and fresh flowers, there is not enough consistent information across the reviews to score this category accurately. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Nice stay...shame about awful weather. Lovely big wood burner made it very cosy. Pillows slightly hard but that's just preference I guess. Slightly let down by bathroom...could be updated and maybe to create more room remove bath and just have a shower cubicle. Had difficulty locking the front door....

Slightly let down by bathroom...could be updated and maybe to create more room remove bath and just have a shower cubicle. Had difficulty locking the front door each time with the key. Quaint and cosy cottage.

Wonderfully cosy cottage in great location for exploring Exmoor. Well equipped with gorgeous views across the valley at the back. Walking distance to pub and shop but still very peaceful.
