The cottage was in excellent condition, just about the cleanest property that we have stayed in. Everything bit of equipment was off a very high standard. If we are back in that area this will be the first cottage we would look at for availability.

We had an amazing week in Withypool. The cottage is exceptional - beautifully furnished, all the gadgets you could want and very relaxing. Plus it is in a wonderful village. Would recommend the tea room, especially the ice cream! There are plenty of lovely walks straight from the front door.

A very comfortable house, great views across the valley, generously equipped and in a great location for walks, and for visiting other parts of Exmoor. Having the local store and post office alongside the cafe close (both open 7 days a week) by is very convenient.

A real gem! So much attention to detail and care has been put into The Old Chapel. The kitchen equipment and utensils are amazing and made cooking so easy. The little touches like room sprays, a welcome basket of treats and blankets everywhere made it feel so cosy. We also loved all the artwork and decor. Withypool is a beautiful, peaceful locationRead more, and this property gives you the perfect spot to explore from. The local village shop has lots of choice for anything you might need too. Highly recommend! Hide
