A great place to escape the stress and rigours of every day. Batteries have been well and truly recharged. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating, the property being clean, cosy, comfortable and very peaceful.

A beautiful and homely cottage on acres of picturesque greenland in Exmoor National Park. Myself, my partner and our springer spaniel Floki had a very enchanting week exploring Exmoor and would love to come and stay again. Highly recommend!
