Absolutely beautiful

Just got back from a wonderful holiday. Really comfortable and homely cottage within beautiful surroundings. Although the weather wasn’t brilliant it didn’t deter us from having a lovely holiday. . The owners were very accommodating and would thoroughly recommend. Thank you 😊

Very pleasant stay at the heart of Exmoore

We stayed in the cottage for 4 days during August bank holiday. The cottage is very beautiful similar to those in the fairy tales. It was clean, cosy and well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the stove added charm to the sitting room. The kids enjoyed the animals in the farm. The cottage is situated in a perfect place to explore Exmoore. Thank you Chris & Freya for your hospitality.
