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.

Had a wonderful stay the cottage had everything you could possibly need - the garden was lovely as well.Enjoyed the area visiting Dunster, Watchet, Porlock, Cleeve Abbey, Exmoor and Minehead - alll were easy to get to.Would highly recommend staying here.
We have just had a fabulous few days' stay in Timberscombe - the cottage was very comfortable with lots of thought given to detail so that the cottage is very well equipped. We have spent a few days exploring Exmoor and have throughly enjoyed our mini break.
The house is really beautiful and is situated in a very quiet and neighbourhood. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Dunster and Minehead are close by and other destinations can be reached easily by car.
We spent a quiet 4 days using the rental as a base for walks in the area and region. The kitchen had everything you need in terms of basics, and the lounge was comfortable with a charming wood burning stove. The bed was very comfortable. Would definitely go back.
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.
Well located for exploring north Devon and Somerset. Cottage in a peaceful setting in a small village just outside Dunster. Homely cottage with comfortable beds. Good for a get away from it all holiday.
Really enjoyed our stay at Willow cottage, it had everything we needed, we had lots of places to see, just a bit disappointed that the local pub wasn’t open while we were there, but it didn’t spoil our stay.
Would stay again
We had a great stay. The property is lovely. Spacious and comfortable and warm with everything required for self catering. Lots of lovely touches from the owners, like fresh flowers, artwork on the walls, some logs for the wood burner and hand soap which is much appreciated. The little garden area is a really nice place to sit and catch any sunshine. Very enjoyable stay.
We had a really nice stay at the cottage. Everything was great, clean and Becky (owner) was really nice and friendly, questions had been answered near realtime via the portal. Only thing we missed was a pub at Timberscombe. We went to Dunster etc to eat something for dinner.
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!
Our second stay at this village house, just a short drive from all the loveliest places on Exmoor was very enjoyable. Great weather meant we could make the most of the nice sunny little garden too. The house is spacious, well decorated and has all the necessary things for a warm and comfortable stay Comfy beds made for a good nights sleep. We felt totally relaxed for our week there. We hope to return!!
Love this house, and its surroundings. Lovely, clean, comfortable and thoughtfully equipped for a relaxing stay. Sunny little garden for eating and enjoying the sunshine. Quiet and pretty village with little community shop. It has everything we need for a relaxing stay, and it is a great base to visit all our favourite places on Exmoor. The owner is always so helpful, and responds whenever there is a query.
Have now stayed a few times and always feel I want to return again as soon as I can!!
