A lovely, cosy, comfortable, peaceful cottage. Everything you could need, plenty of room, modern amenities. Lovely position, 10 mins from Lynton/Lynmouth. Beautiful part of the world. Would definitely love to return.

Just a note about access as road narrow and parking 3 cars was a challenge.

The house is comfortable and well equipped but it is up a very narrow steep lane with very few stopping places. It is also quite a distance to Lynton and Lynmouth - it is nearer to Barbrook. Anyone thinking of renting should be aware of this. We don't have a SUV and so driving up and down that lane was not that pleasant. We live and holiday in WaleRead mores so we know about narrow lanes - but this one was a challenge. Hide

A lovely cottage with beautiful gardens, its impossible to imagine a more peaceful location virtually on the moor and with very special nighttime views of the Milky Way. Comfortable with a very helpful owner.

This is a beautifully laid out cottage, with generous rooms and well furnished. Well equipped, comfy beds, rural setting with sheep and birds for neighbours. Idyllic setting we would certainly recommend.

A comfortable cosy cottage, the kitchen was well equipped and all beds were comfortable. However, be aware it is a steep single track lane with limited pull in places to the cottage.

This really is a lovely cosy cottage which is really well equiped. 6 (adults) stayed to walk the first 5 days of the south west coastal walk from Minehead down to Saunton. It was a perfect base with good taxi service from Lynmouth to Combe Martin. the No 10 bus which linked Porlock Weir to Minehead and easy access to get food shopping in LyntonRead more and some really good eating pubs. We had 3 big cars so the parking was a bit tight but manageable! We didn't bring dogs because of the walking conditions, but it would have been really good with a wonderful large utility room for muddy feet/boots. If we came back to the area, we would definitely book again. Hide

If you want a cottage in a quiet, scenic, rural location yet within easy reach of the sea and other attractions, then Keepers Cottage could be the place for you. Set at the top of a narrow lane the property has a beautiful view to the front and the start of Exmoor a 200m walk from the rear of the property. The pictures on the website really do it jRead moreustice. It is a large, comfortable property which is extremely well equipped. We had a fabulous week there and wouldn't hesitate to book it again should we re visit the area in the future. There are lots of things to do including beautiful walks such as the Heddon Valley and the Valley of the Rocks, lovely beaches such as Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Coombe Martin, and great attractions for all the family such as Watermouth Castle, the cliff railway at Lynton and the Quince Honey Farm at South Molten.
