This is an great cottage. Very clean and well furnished. The high ceiling made it feel very spacious. We enjoyed the location - both the views and being on a farm. The hosts (as others have said) are friendly and helpful. This is a cottage we will try to return to when back in Somerset.
8.0
Beautiful peaceful location, but a little off the "beaten track", just what we were seeking. All modern amenities provided within the cottage.
8.0
Lovely clean cottage with a very well equipped kitchen. Great rural location with lovely views from the front of the cottage although the outdoor eating area for the cottage is at the rear among farm buildings. The living area is spacious but is open to the upstairs bedroom which did cause us a few issues with light and privacy as we were a party of adults.
8.0
Friendly and helpful host and deputy. Cottage in very good order. Comfortable bedrooms and good bathrooms.
The location is in a lovely area, the local pub (about a mile's walk away) serves local ales and has a good kitchen.
The 4 star overall experience rating is a reflection of our preference, rather than something wrong (slouch sofas in low light make reading difficult).
Would definitely recommend the cottage - feels very spacious.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The place was immaculate and had all the amenities you need including kitchen towels, pans, plates, utensils etc. That were all still of good quality to use. The cottage itself although spacious felt very cozy and compact. There is also a good amount of work space in the kitchen so if you enjoy cooking, it’s a great prep place. Toiletries were also available and was of great quality. In addition, Annette kindly showed us where it was appropriate for us to take our dog for runs and walks. We also made use of the leaflets and local tips that they provided. Overall, it was a very lovely, peaceful place to stay in that had everything you needed.

Great location for walking, losts of wildlife. Cosy cottage with enclosed garden for the dog. Plenty of hot water for a soak in the bath after those long walks. Local pub worth a visit, fantastic Sunday lunch. Would book again.

Comfortable cottage in very pleasant surroundings, and very dog-friendly.

Beautiful location and lovely cottage. The cottage itself was comfortable, spacious and clean and well set out with all the equipment needed for a self-catering stay. We loved the outdoor areas and seating as there was always somewhere to sit morning and evening to catch the sun. The host was very helpful and the info left in the cottage about places to explore locally was helpful. We loved our stay here - it was so peaceful and relaxing. We'll definitely be back!
10.0
The cottage was really lovely and peaceful. You’re close to the owners home but you’re given plenty of space and it doesn’t feel overlooked at all. Great location for exploring the nearby walks and coastal towns/beaches. I would recommend the cottage and would stay again, there were 2 of us and a dog and it was a good size.
10.0
This was our second stay at Harthanger View and I suspect we will be back for a third. Lots of space for two people and, as before, the property was very clean and well equipped.
10.0
The cottage was well equipped and finished to a high standard. We loved the rural location for the peace and quiet. Everything we wanted to do whilst visiting Exmoor was within a one hour driving radius. We found Annette to be very kind and helpful. We'd go back again.
10.0
Great location with beautiful walks and surrounding. It is a luxury property with everything you need in the kitchen. Beds are comfy and spotless. We have a fabulous two nights would highly recommend
