The property provides a comfortable and relaxing stay, ideal for families and nature enthusiasts.
The majority of guests found Mill Cottage to be clean and tidy, with comfortable beds and well-maintained facilities. However, one review mentioned the kitchen needed a more thorough cleaning, suggesting a slight room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for its stunning and tranquil setting, with easy access to local walks, Exmoor National Park, and the North Somerset coast. The rural charm and proximity to a village pub contribute to its high rating.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy, comfortable, and larger than expected, with a particularly spacious kitchen. The cool bedrooms in hot weather and the overall ambience contribute to a very comfortable experience.
The cottage is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, with quality utensils and pans. The garden and private outdoor space are appreciated, as are the showers with good pressure. The mention of an 'upside down' house layout indicates a unique feature that may affect ease of outdoor dining.
The host's thoughtfulness is evident in the warm welcomes, with several mentions of a delicious lemon cake and other essentials provided. While these gestures are greatly appreciated by guests, it is noted that such personal touches are not guaranteed.

A lovely, well appointed cottage. The location on Westcott Farm was great...private but near to the farmhouse should we have needed anything (which we didn't). The owners were friendly and helpful but kept a low profile. The cottage was well situated for exploring Exmoor, the Quantocks and the c.... A lovely, well appointed cottage. The location on Westcott Farm was great...private but near to the farmhouse should we have needed anything (which we didn't). The owners were friendly and helpful but kept a low profile. The cottage was well situated for exploring Exmoor, the Quantocks and the coast. The last few miles of road to the cottage were narrow but there were plenty of passing spaces. The local pub (The Royal Oak) served good food and was very welcoming. The garden to Mill Cottage was near perfect...a good size, nicely secure with respect to our dog and a relaxing place to sit in the sun with a G&T. There were several nice walks from the cottage, including a footpath to the pub. The use of a car charger for are EV at a very reasonable rate was another plus. We've stayed in 30 or 40 UK cottages over the years and in all honesty we'd place this one in our top 5.

Mill Cottage is a beautiful holiday house in a stunning location. Annette is a very helpful and generous host who pointed out some wonderful walks across the farm and lanes from the cottages door. Leave the car and take to the hills!
