This opens onto two acres of shared gardens with far-reaching views, a lily pond, lawn with picnic tables, a giant BBQ, garden games and a hot and cold dog and boot shower. A games room with table tennis, pool, table football, board games and jigsaws is also available, with a decked area overlooking the ornamental pond, and can be hired as a venue for larger get-togethers. Free-range hens, pygmy goats and ducklings roam the grounds. Fields surrounding the cottage give car-free access to Exmoor’s bridleways and footpaths. Dogs are very welcome throughout the cottage, with no strict limit on numbers (please get in touch if bringing a large pack), at GBP 5 each per stay; a welcome pack with water bowl, blankets, treats, toys and collar tags is provided, and dogs must be kept on lead in shared public areas.
