An Absolute Gem
By DM on 12-Apr-2023We had the Gardeners Cottage over the Easter and what an absolute gem. A really lovely clean comfortable dog friendly cottage that has been finished off to very high standard in a beautiful quiet valley. The facilities in the cottage leave you wanting for nothing more. Just perfect for a relaxing stay on Exmoor or in our case a walking weekend. We will definitely be booking the cottage again
