As a high level uk travel professional myself i found best of exmoor cottages off-putting and certainly not a company i would consider using in the future. But the Cottage itself is excellent

A perfect break

We hired Dashel Cottage with two friends who are retired like us. It was utterly peaceful and we loved exploring Exmoor each day then returning in the evenings to dine in comfort in the cosy cottage. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms were perfect for our party and the cottage is so well fitted out and comfortable.

It is a very picturesque area, but quite hilly. The property is very clean and has lovely comfortable beds and pillows. A nice enclosed garden, especially if you have dogs. There is no phone/text reception around the property. You have to go up to the top to the main road to get any.

Wonderful cottage with ideal location. Clean and smart, the ideal holiday property; at night it is pitch black and the stars shine even brighter. No passing traffic, exceptionally quiet and plenty of walks from the doorstep. Easy to communicate with Christina and could not be better. Had the two grandson for the weekend and they loved walking in the fields and looking for the pheasants. One of those really genuine holiday destination, going to book for next June.

We had an enjoyable stay at Dashel cottage. The cottage is well equipped and had a lovely open planning living area. The enclosed garden was great for our dogs and there are lots of walks straight from the door. The views from the property are lovely. Unfortunately we weren't warned about the planned power outage from 0900-1630 on our second day, which made it a challenge with no electricity in the middle of January. It did give us the opportunity to visit Woolacombe beach for the day which was a wonderful place to walk the dogs. We would recommend the cottage especially if you are travelling with dogs.

We had a great stay at Dashel Cottage. The cottage is well equipped and perfectly placed for Exmoor adventures. Its a short walk down the farm track to valley footpath which takes you into Lynmouth or further into Exmoor. Lovely views from the cottage and outside area for eating and relaxing. Well placed for visits to Minehead, Dunster, inland Exmoor walking and the North Devon Coast. Loved having the fire going and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

Dashel is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location. We had a very comfortable week there despite the wind and rain. Plenty of walking from the cottage e.g. Lorna Done Valley and across Brendon Moor, and visits to Porlock to walk out over the marsh and along the shingle spit and Valley of the Rocks. Lighting the fire after a day out made the space warm and cosy.
