The house is beautiful with a fantastic view and a lovely balcony to enjoy it from. Having the river at the end of the garden was a bonus. The kitchen is well stocked, I even grew to love the Rayburn’s little ways,

The location is peaceful, close to well-stocked village post office and shop, tea room (excellent cream tea) and pub (good pub food), and has several walking routes available from the front door.

The cottage was perfect as my sister-in-law had Exmoor on her bucket list and needed a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. She had been a regular visitor to Exmoor with my brother- both are very keen on hunting.

Another lovely stay at Ormrods and the weather was stunning too. This house is so well situated 2 minutes walk to the tea room with scrumptious sandwiches and cake, and a 5 minute walk to to Royal Oak pub great food and very friendly, and the post office/shop is well stocked with essentials and gifts, the garden runs down to the river which is full of little trout, the garden is a bit steep but most of the time is spent on the balcony taking in the amazing views. Very pleased.

Location excellent for Exmoor and the coast. Good to have the village shop, pub and tea rooms within walking distance. House has wonderful views but garden and path from car parking area steep. Good to have basic Sky package, but the TV is small for the room. Aga/Rayburn is quite difficult to use and the oven takes a long time to heat up. Having said that, there was plenty of hot water, and heating if desired. We enjoyed our stay.

First visit to Ormrods although have been visiting Exmoor for over 30 years - we were delighted with the property which is very comfortable and well equipped. The weather was incredible and at times far too hot but the house provided some cool comfort especially when the bifold doors onto the terrace were fully open - the views are delightful, just hope the trees and shrubs do not encroach too much on the vista. We would not hesitate to recommend Ormrods and should like to thank the Owners for letting us share their home. We hope to return next year!

It is a lovely house in a perfect spot, lovely tearoom, friendly pub which serves excellent food, and a well stocked shop/post office with all the essentials and gifts too, everywhere is dog friendly, Dulverton is a lovely little town, good tearooms, good food at The Bridge and for a special meal Woods at the top of the town is excellent and again a well stocked CoOp supermarket. The only issue is the garden is not totally dog proof, our energetic large dog easily managed to jump up the bank by the kennels and try to follow one of our party to the shop, luckily we were with him and saw him do it and the lane to the house is very quiet.
