Summary of reviews
Guests loved the location, cleanliness, and welcoming hosts. They appreciated being able to walk from the property and the outstanding views.
5.0 / 5.0
This is a beautifully situated cottage on the outskirts of the village. Perfect for walking either directly from the cottage or in the locality where there is such a varied landscape. The owners were very friendly and the cottage very clean and comfortable. This was our second visit and we look forward to returning.
4.0 / 5.0
Very good apartment set in the rolling hills of Exmoor but only 5 miles from Minehead & its facilities. Equipped with everything you need including milk, teabags & biscuits to start you off! The only downside was the mattress was very hard & uncomfortable making sleep diffilcult.
5.0 / 5.0
Very spacious, very well equipped, very clean. Extremely comfortable for just two people, lots of room. Particularly liked the tack room, the garden, the orchard, the reserved parking and the sky view. Karen and Keith are very friendly and live next door, so if there had been any problem help would have been to hand.
We had a really good time staying there and hope to return.
4.0 / 5.0
The location, for us, was perfect. We were able to walk from the property without having to use the car.
We are serious walkers and for those proposing to venture out on the hills we would recommend good boots and waterproofs from the front door.

We found Dunkery View very comfortable and well-equipped for self-catering.
There was good attention to detail and the whole place was absolutely spotless.
It has a lovely garden and lies in a quiet, rural location at the foot of Dunkery Hill. It is on the edge of the delightful village of Wootton Courtenay and enjoys sweeping views of Exmoor. The village shop is a short walk away and there are several walks over the moors.

5.0 / 5.0
Beautifully quiet location with outstanding views and great patio area. The utility room/boot room was very useful to have access to. Very comfortable accommodation and we appreciated the warmth of the property for an October stay. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. There are plenty of walks from the property and many more with a relatively short drive away. A great base for Exmoor exploring.

Beautiful location, in the heart of very good walking country and not to far to the coast, Porlock and Minehead are great,plenty to do and see in all areas.We love fly fishing, so went to Exebridge near Dulverton, about 30 - 40 mins.Had lovely time and Property very comfortable, plenty of room, and lovely views, can’t praise it enough. We have stayed in many places some of which my wife has had to clean before settling in, she does have good standards though.Owners are lovely, they live nearby and are always helpful. We will return, hopefully for a little longer.Glad we chose this one. Many thanks.

5.0 / 5.0
The whole holiday experience was perfect for us as walkers with the property situated in an outstanding area and footpaths leading in all directions. It's so peaceful but also not far from the coastal attractions. The accommodation was exceptionally well equipped and comfortable with a private garden area (plus orchard) complete with a wonderful view of Dunkery Hill. The owners were extremely helpful and made us very welcome. We'll be back next year!

Under current circumstances the property was very well equipped and we only had to ask the owners when we needed an airer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the property is well positioned for exploring the local area.

A relaxing place to stay in a beautiful quiet location. The cottage has everything you need and plenty of space. There is some excellent walking straight from the door. It was lovely to sit outside on the patio relaxing after a hard walk and look at the great views.
5.0 / 5.0
We found the property address was a bit misleading as we assumed the property would be called Dunkerly View which it wasn’t but a phone call to Keith put us on the right track. The cottage provided everything we needed (and more) and was spotlessly clean.
