Beautiful and Peaceful Stay

My Wife, children and I loved the stay at Jacobs Pond. The location is wonderful and we loved waking up in the morning and looking out on the fantastic views across the fields. The house itself is very well equipped and spotless, loved the fresh eggs and other treats left behind for us, very thoughtful thank you, Eric. We will look to stay again in the future.

Wonderful holiday week

We spent a wonderful holiday week in this lovely cottage. On arrival everything was very well prepared and all very clean. The view from the kitchen into the garden is amazing. This cottage gives you all you need to relax. Very silent. It‘s very good host for discovering Exmoor NP and the Quantock Hills. Thank you so much Fiona and Eric for this pleasant stay.

Beautiful rural location, wonderfully equipped cottage

We were looking for somewhere really quiet to spend time after Christmas and this really fitted the bill. Weather was terrible so we didn't make the most of the close proximity of Exmoor and the Quantocks, but the cottage is cosy and very well equipped, so we had a great rest in a lovely setting. We are a 3 generation family and this worked well for everyone. Plenty of communal space to spread out into, good central heating and a beautifully kept garden. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom perfect for our 89 year old Father. Eric and Fiona the hosts are incredibly accommodating and thoughtful and we definitely recommend this place. It's a bit of a way along single-track lanes from the closest shops, but we came prepared for that. Lovely to visit Watchet and Dunster Castle. We would like to come back and explore the countryside in better weather!

Everything was really amazing. The landscape, house, garden. If there the owner will built a terrace in the garden, is the dream house for any person. If somebody would like to escape in a quite place this is just perfect. Fresh air, forests, seaside, history, everything in one place. I highly recommend it.

It was so relaxing to stay here. If you sit in the charming garden, you can't hear any traffic noise at all. The cottage is very comfortably furnished and equipped. We were there with our dog so it was perfect having the secure garden. Eric the owner gave us all a warm welcome, and as well as a delicious bottle of wine and fresh flowers, had provided useful things like laundry detergent. The butcher's in Williton is very friendly and gave us a dog bone!

Lovely stay in North Somerset / Exmoor

We had a lovely time staying at Jacob's Pond. Check in was really easy and Eric and Fiona had kindly left us some tasty treats to have when we arrived.The house was warm and comfortable. We all slept well. The kitchen has everything you need. The gardens were beautifully kept. We walked in the wood at the back and saw the chickens. We watched beautiful sunsets over the hills and the sea from the back windows. It was wonderfully tranquil. We loved walking in Exmoor and the Quantocks. We visited Dunster Castle and Coleridge's house as well. We had a thoroughly nice time and would recommend staying here.

As soon as we arrived we knew we had made the right choice for our week's holiday. The house was exactly as described and we couldn't fault it in any way. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for cooking a meal. We spent most evenings in the conservatory looking out on the beautiful garden. We were left some goodies and wine which was very much appreciated. A perfect spot for exploring the coast and Exmoor.

The location of Jacobs Pond is perfect for a quiet break. The garden is kept beautifully and if you are lucky with the weather is a perfect place to relax. The house is very well equipped and has a number of sitting areas. The kitchen also has everything you could need. Special mention for the beds are everyone agreed that they were extremely comfortable. The owner lives next door but is not intrusive and is a very nice chap. The surrounding area is stunning with many fine pubs not too far away. Overall, an excellent spot for a holiday - heartily recommended.
