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....

It’s such a lovely cottage, a perfect escape and the local areas are lovely. Lots of nice walks in the surrounding area (perfect if you have a dog) and would recommend a visit to Minehead for shops and the seaside. Lovely hosts and well-equipped cottage - would highly recommend!
