About this property

Charming Exmoor cottage in tranquil setting near mediaeval village of Dunster

Set in the village of Timberscombe, just 3 miles from the vibrant, mediaeval village of Dunster with a wide choice of pubs, restaurants, cafes, gift shops and its romantic castle.
Situated on a quiet, no-through lane (off-road parking for 2 cars) with lovely views and direct access to moorland and forest walks.
Cosy lounge with log-burning fire, seating for four and TV/DVD with digital streaming capability.
Kitchen/diner with range cooker and all mod cons, a handy utility/boot room (please note this is 3 steps down from the kitchen and where the fridge-freezer stands) and a peaceful cottage garden with space to dine alfresco.
Upstairs leads to the bathroom (separate shower and bath) and 2 bedrooms. The pretty front room has a double bed, while the back room can be provided as either a twin room or with a spacious and comfortable zip-and-link superking bed.
Unfortunately, due to rising costs but in particular the expected increase in fuel costs, we have currently had to add a heating fee per night to cover the expected costs of gas and electricity.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location
After a long day that involved driving to Exmoor from London, we wondered as we got near to the cottage whether it would all be worth it, but from the second we entered the cottage we felt right at home and greatly enjoyed all that it had to offer. It was clean, airy, and came with everything that we needed, while Becky was always friendly and prompt whenever we had questions. Timberscombe is a relaxing village, well situated for exploring Exmoor, with lots of walking trails. The playground and football field were perfect for our children and everyone was very friendly. Dunster, Minehead, Bossington Hill, and (in particular) the Valley of the Rocks are all recommended - though driving in the area can sometimes be very challenging.

Returning to ancestral home
We enjoyed our stay, hope to return. Only thing I’d change would be removing the small brick wall where the parking space is. As it is in a national park, I realize this might be difficult

Lovely cottage in a lovely place
Very nice cottage in a beautiful place. Plenty to do in the area and Becky was very communicative and provided loads of helpful information on nearby activities, food and other things to do. The cottage itself was immaculate and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Just perfect
Okay, the weather was just perfect to begin with, which is not in your hands. But everything else was perfect too. I made some a bit of a mess around the booking before we even arrived and Becky was super accommodating and helpful. The place was in spotless condition with everything you could want from a home away from home. We just loved staying there. Thank you so much Becky. What an enchanting place you’ve got!

Perfect for Exmoor
We stayed 3 nights at Becky’s cottage. We loved it. Really comfy bed and sofas, the cottage was clean and the heating was good! We will definitely stay again the next time we are in Exmoor. Thank you Becky!
