Description
Located in the charming village of Withypool set at the heart of the Exmoor National Park, Valley Cottage is ideal for guests wanting to enjoy a rural escape. Every bit the classic image of a 'chocolate box' cottage, there is a generous garden at the front with wonderful views across the valley, and a higher lawn area at the rear of the cottage as well. Inside, there are original features galore and traditional decor offering a wonderfully homely feel.
Downstairs, there is a dining room in addition to the kitchen, and a separate living room, generously furnished with comfortable sofa and armchairs.
The bedroom layout offers great flexibility for the whole family, with one of the five bedrooms being on the ground floor and having a double bed and its own ensuite bathroom. Upstairs to the first floor, there is another double bedroom, boasting beautiful views out across the valley. There is then a further twin room and two smaller single bedrooms, ideal for children. The main family bathroom is also upstairs, and has a bath with shower attachment. There is also an additional ground floor WC for convenience.
Outside, the garden has a patio table and chairs, so guests have the option of dining al fresco if desired. There is a private off-road parking area for 2 cars over the road from the cottage, and more on-street is available for no cost.
Locally, the village of Withypool has all the essentials on your doorstep, with a well-stocked village shop, popular tea rooms, and a pub all within walking distance. There are delightful walks across Exmoor straight from the village, and the coastal towns of Minehead and Porlock are within easy reach by car.
Not to be missed is a visit to Dunster, a truly picturesque village with the famous Dunster Castle, now looked after by the National Trust.
Book directly with Finest Retreats, and start looking forward to your next break away!
Please note:
- Valley Cottage can accommodate a maximum of 6 adults per booking.

-Stairs to first floor are steep, and very young children should be supervised accordingly. A stair gate is available in the cottage.

The beds were comfortable and bedding and towels good quality and beautifully clean. Plenty of kitchen equipment, crockery and glasses. Thank you for the welcome pack, a nice touch and we especially enjoyed bubbly on NYE! Great location in the village with fabulous views. Very short walk to shop which seemed to stock everything you could need and very friendly. The local pub The Royal Oak is highly recommended welcoming, dog friendly, great ales and fantastic food. We did trips into South Molton and Tarr Steps, both within a 30 minute drive over the stunning moors. All in all a lovely cottage and we will be back! 😊

Having had holidays for 20+ years to Exmoor and this particular area, Valley Cottage is in a great location. Pub and village shop are within a couple of minutes away.
Cottage is 'quirky' and what you would expect of an old, quaint house. Kitchen is excellent and well equipped, bedrooms are all clean & tidy, lounge is huge with its own utility room. Seperate dining room is ideal, and the garden was well kept although the weather wasn't the best ! All in all the cottage acted as a great base for our 10day break away. |

Property needs a shower, two baths with 'over' taps just doesn't work.
The spaniel from next door using the garden as its private loo !
A larger TV would be better, as my eyesight isn't the best, although we didn't watch it for long.
