Stunning throughout, attention to detail was excellent. Cosy, peaceful & well located. I do know that we now need underfloor heating, didn’t need to use the log burner.

Cosy, peaceful & well located. I do know that we now need underfloor heating, didn’t need to use the log burner. The dog was in heaven on her blanket. Think we took the wrong turning on the walk to the reservoir, make sure you check the detailed instructions. Lovely places of interest close by, Watchet is worth a few hours and Minehead is more than just a Butlins. Everything is so perfect, it's just a suggestion, There's an airfryer there, embarrassingly we took ours! It has everything you need. We will be back.

The detailed directions sent through were a huge help to finding the property. Everything you could need is provided and the property feels luxurious. It was perfectly suited to exploring the hikes of Exmoor.and then relaxing in front of a log burner in the evenings. We had a fantastic long weekend....
