Guests say
Ormrods in Withypool is highly praised for its perfect location, comfortable accommodation, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests enjoy the beautiful garden, stunning views, and the proximity to local amenities like a friendly pub, shop, and tearooms. The property is dog-friendly and ideal for peaceful retreats with plenty of walking routes. Some minor issues with garden security for dogs and the Rayburn are noted, but overall, guests are delighted and often return for multiple visits.
Guests consistently describe the property as clean and tidy, with high-quality linen and well-maintained surroundings. The cleanliness contributes significantly to the comfort and enjoyment of their stay.
The location is repeatedly highlighted as excellent, with its peaceful setting, proximity to a well-stocked village shop, pub, and tea rooms, and direct access to walking routes. The picturesque village and stunning views across Exmoor are particularly appreciated.
Reviews frequently mention the property's comfort, from the cosy atmosphere and comfortable beds to the warm and inviting living spaces. The presence of en suite bathrooms and a utility room for dogs adds to the overall comfort level.
The property is praised for its well-equipped kitchen, though some guests find the Rayburn oven challenging. The garden, balcony, and views are loved, but there are mentions of a steep garden path and the lack of mobile phone signal. The TV size and Sky package receive mixed feedback.
While guests are generally pleased with the property and its offerings, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category accurately.

A fantastic cottage, with everything you need for a holiday, with beautiful views from the balcony and walks from the door. Having both a great pub and village shop is fantastic. I would really recommend the walks from Dulverton to Withypool and from Simonsbath to Withypool.
