Nestled in the hills above the River Exe and on the edge of the awe-inspiring Exmoor National Park this property is a great base for walking and country pursuits as well as exploring the national park. Visit the beautiful small towns of Bampton (3.5 miles) and Dulverton (6 miles) with their many independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The market town of Tiverton (9.5 miles) has a pretty canal with opportunities for kayaking or cycling along its many miles of tow paths, or you can take an excursion on a delightful horse-drawn barge. Enjoy visiting the National Trust properties of Knightshayes (8.5 miles) and Dunster Castle (18 miles). For an array of water sports, Wimbleball Lake (9.5 miles) awaits. If you yearn for sandy beaches, make sure to visit Minehead Beach (20 miles).

Located next door to a dairy farm, this beautifully converted and deceptively spacious property is approached via a farm lane and cobbled garden path. Step inside and you will immediately find yourself in the light and airy lounge/kitchen/diner. This wonderfully relaxing space has a comfy sofa and a Smart TV. Enjoy cooking up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy mealtimes around the dining table. Completing the downstairs accommodation is an immaculate shower room with a rainfall shower. Head upstairs to the light and airy double bedroom, which has an apex ceiling and overlooks the enclosed courtyard garden.

Stepping outside, the gated and fully enclosed garden offers guests a good degree of privacy and is where you will find outdoor seating and table, so you can relax with your morning coffee or evening drinks.

The cottage is in a great location for dog walks and a short drive to beaches and exmoor. Pub is a short walk away, very friendly and good beer! The cottage itself was very clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely return and recommend to others
