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

A very pleasant holiday in a quiet location with a kind welcoming present from our host; Becky, to greet us. The accomodation was comfortable with ample entertainment facilities. The kitchen had plenty of culinary equipment; complete with a large electric range. The location; Timberscombe, close to Dunster afforded many opportunities for visits to interesting towns and reasonably unspoilt countryside. A comprehensive guide to local areas of interest was available to peruse. All in all a most pleasant break; far too short a holiday of course.

Great cottage for our stay. The stream/ford at the end of the lane was a delight.

Perfect little stay to visit friends in the village and celebrate a local wedding! We were allowed to arrive early and managed to park both cars on the drive with some negotiation. Comfy beds with three of us staying the weekend in the cottage. Has a homely lived in vibe with a cute garden that looked lush to read a book and enjoy a coffee. Only misfortune was the local water company switching off the water supply in the area so we had no notice or supply hours before the wedding. Fortunately it was back on the next day.

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.

We enjoyed our stay here, peaceful, close to beach, Dunster castle, host helpful and. communicative. Thank you.

We had a pleasant stay and the bed was very comfortable. The bottle of wine and cookies were very welcome. The surroundings are peaceful and pretty and it was lovely sitting in the garden area relaxing. One little thing I think should be mentioned in the description is that the fridge is downstairs in the boot room/utility. I found it quite difficult to keep my balance carrying items from the fridge to the kitchen. Not a problem for younger/more able bodies but potential bookers should be made aware of this.

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!!

a very pretty house in a lovely little village amazing scenery great walks

Becky was brilliant, great communication, kind and thoughtful. The cottages was a delight, warm, cosy and inviting with wonderful views. Quiet and peaceful location, but perfectly positioned to explore Exmoor. Would definitely recommend this cottage and would love to stay there again. Thank you for a fantastic half term break.

My daughter and I spent a lovely week based at this comfortable and thoughtfully equipped cottage. From the helpful information pack to the communications we had with the owner we felt very looked after during our stay. The village of Timberscombe and the surrounding countryside is very attractive and a good base for outings. We barely scratched the surface and aren’t sad that we will have to return. Recommendation:- Lock’s Victorian tea rooms in Dunster for their pretty gardens and delicious warm home-made scones. Not so great:- A walk around Wimbleball Lake was extremely hard going as many of the paths are in poor repair. Our planned 3 1/2hr walk took over 6 and was rather nerve-wracking at times with narrow paths (particularly over the opposite side to the activity centre) alongside steep drops into the reservoir. Beautiful views but difficult walking at times.

Nice house good quality throughout comfortable beds and seating quiet location but close enough to coast and the steam railway to find pleanty to do.

A quirky and cosy little cottage very well equipped the only little thing was it smelt a bit damp downstairs but being an old cottage I suppose that's to be expected with original quarry tiles etc. But otherwise a very comfortable and enjoyable stay and thankyou to Becky for the bottle of wine and delicious cookies left as a welcome gift very much appreciated.

We wanted a base for a walking holiday and this cottage was perfect. Walks on your doorstep and lots just a short drive away. Everything and more you could want in a property, great outside area and fab local pub to walk to. What else could you want and Becky let us know we could check in early too.

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.

The outside of the property was un-inspiring and the parking caused damage to our car due to a rather pointless wall. We were warned of this but unfortunately we still had a problem. The lounge curtains were hanging on a few hooks which made the room look shabby. The beds were very good. A pity the back window in bedroom 2 could not be opened so a bit airless. The "treats" left for us was a nice gesture. A bit of general tweaking would make this cottage ideal, we could see that Becky was trying.

A beautiful location by a Ford in a charming village. Perfect for visiting Dunster, and sightseeing across Exmoor.

Lovely stay in Timberscombe with our family. I had neglected to record the code for the key access and there is no phone signal so ensure you do this prior to arriving as it wasn’t how I expected to arrive with two tired children! The accommodation was brilliant for my 4 year old who was safe to play outside and enjoyed the ford down the road. My baby isn’t mobile yet fortunately as there are some steps to kitchen and gaps between stair railing are quite big so I wouldn’t stay here with a mobile baby. We had to provide our own travel cot and high chair which kind of indicates that it’s not necessarily best suited to small children. It was a brilliant location however for exploring Exmoor. We drove to some places and also walked to Englands tallest tree from the house. There is small post office with some basic items and the pub doesn’t serve food but can get a pint. Becky was incredibly responsive which was appreciated and the house is well equipped. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Lovely quiet secluded cottage equipped with everything you need (apart from washing line or dryer which I think you'd need if coming with kids) Enjoyed some lovely walks and had some lovely meals in Dunster, just wish we were still there 4 nights wasnt long enough

Cosey, Clean, Warm and Snug, Peaceful, and Relaxing

Ideal location within distance of not only the ocean but the National Park.This is a neat home away from home comfortable modern with a nice tea table in the yard for the sunny day relaxation Well done and thank you for making our long trip to your country a great place to begin.

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!!

Lovely peaceful spot for walkers.

Wonderful weather for our stay. Nice little cottage very well equipped. Lovely peaceful area with scenic views. Steep stairs and small steps need careful negotiation if you are unsteady on your feet! Small garden is a sun trap!

Booked a short break thur till Sun perfect base for the 2 of us not far from dunster and a short drive to Minehead and Porlock we had a great time so quiet a lovely view from all the windows we would go back helen

Absolutely recommended for anyone wanting peace and likes walking. A beautiful cottage in a lovely village. Leave the car at the cottage and explore all the surrounding countryside from the front door. The cottage is very comfortable and the host excellent in communication. The welcoming bottle of wine and Swiss chocolate biscuits was a very nice touch. Thank you for giving us a very warm pleasant break.

We can highly recommend staying here. The cottage is in a lovely situation in a quiet village but close to tourist attractions and amenities. The cottage was very clean, very comfortable and everything was organised to make our stay as welcoming as possible. 😊

Homely & comfortable, downstairs could do with a lick of fresh paint. Property has wooden windows, be prepared for draughts! Bathroom could do with bath mat, grab handle in shower would be useful. We stayed in mid January, central heating was very efficient. Range cooker was brilliant!! Good quality crockery. Large range of pots & pans.

We booked the cottage for 3 nights over news years 2020/21 but government restriction meant we couldn’t go, Becky the host was super flexible and helpful and we switched to a break over New Years 2021/22. The cottage felt homely from the moment we walked in, very well furnished and appointed, everything we needed, clean and tidy. The location was great, a really lovely quiet village, but easy reach of Dunster, Tarr Steps and many other attractions of exmoor. Overall a fabulous cottage that we hope to visit again.

Fantastic stay in this cottage in a small quiet village. Everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a few lovely welcome gifts. Sitting in front of the roaring fire in winter after a day walking was great. Good communication and information from the hosts. Thank you Becky!

Wonderful place to relax, clear your head and reconnect with life. Lovely scenery, long walks and nature surrounds you reminding you that life is still good

It was a delightful cottage which had a warm and welcoming feel and very much home from home; very relaxing and peaceful. The bedroom that we chose at the rear of the cottage, had a very comfortable bed and it was huge because the host had cleverly placed two singles together, which I thought was very practical and it made it feel you were in a huge king size.The location was spectacular and picturesque, with beautiful places to visit. Although we like to cook and we did so, but only a few times, we didn't want to miss out on the local pubs so we did prefer to eat out at, The Rest and Be Thankful ***** However there are others equally as nice.We would recommend this cottage to anyone and we will certainly be going again. Thank you Becky for a lovely stay.
