We rent a cottage every New Year and have done since 1995 all over the UK. Dashel Cottage is the best yet. From the location with direct access by foot to the coast and the moors to the facilities in the house itself egs excellent beds, bathrooms (particularly showers), cooker and general ambience it will be hard to beat.

Not sure I can add much to the above ratings. I think they speak for themselves. Lovely place to stay and fabulous location.

Really good location central to Lynton and Porlock. Lovely food at both the Blue Ball inn and the Ship in Porlock. If you wish to drink taxi from Lynton are available. The cottage was well equipped and very quiet. We would recommend.

Dashel Cottage is fabulous, clean, spacious and lovely and warm for our chilly end of February stay. Beds are comfy, showers great, everything we need in the kitchen and it was good to have plenty of logs for the burner. We appreciated the files of local walks and other information. Enclosed garden excellent for the dogs and access to farm fields for short walks was handy. But it is the location that makes this cottage outstanding, the views across the valley to the moor are stunning, every window, even the high ones have a view of the countryside. On a clear night the night sky is incredible. The best cottage I have ever stayed in (we did not want to leave) and we plan to come back next year.

A great base for walking on parts of the South West Coast path and Coleridge Way. A lovely cottage in a peaceful position. Light and airy. Comfortable beds - and great showers!

We loved our stay at Dashel. A beautiful quiet location but still really reachable to so many great places. The cottage was spotless and it’s was great to explore the farm with my little boy. We will definitely be coming back again.

Beautiful remote location but Lynton, Porlock etc accessible easily by car. Enjoyed a relaxed week with friends. Amazing shower! Great BBQ! Would stay again.

Fantastic location and a great property, everything you could need

Very well cared for property, clean, efficient and lovely to relax in. Garden stunning, watched woodpecker, house martins, rabbits each breakfast time. Location superb, views from property beautiful and 2 minutes walk away the whole valley open up.

Dashel Cottage was absolutely lovely. Very clean, well equipped, comfortable and spacious. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return.

Great location and well equipped cottage

The best cottage we have stayed in. The location was wonderful, so peaceful. We recommend downloading a birdsong identification app as the variety of birds is something else! The cottage has a very comfy bed and excellent shower. Well equipped with great kitchen appliances. Excellent WiFi. If you want to give your car a rest from the hills (!) the walks from the cottage are great.

Beautiful surroundings and a lovely cottage! The view from the front door could be from Bilbo Baggins’ hobbit hole! Hiking was outstanding.

Lovely cottage, super showers, good size bedrooms

We absolutely loved this place. Very well laid out cottage, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Extremely clean and comfortable, it really was a home away from home and the showers were amazing! Very well insulated and warm and the log burner was a lovely addition. Located in an extremely quiet and picturesque area, we would definitely stay here again.

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.

Lovely cottage with great walks from the door. Originally a stable, Dachel Cottage has been superbly converted into a comfortable holiday home with top quality modern interior. Secure enclosed garden for children or dogs. We loved it!

The location is very peaceful with beautiful views. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location. Extremely comfortable and well-appointed we thoroughly enjoyed our short break here. Explored the local walks with our dogs and also visited Lynton, Lynmouth, Valley of the Rocks and Lee Bay, all recommended places to see.

Maybe a larger TV in the lounge?

A beautiful part of our country, and the wind and rain (mostly overnight) didn't stop us exploring. The cottage is so cosy and we lacked for nothing, and the downstairs bedroom and bathroom were perfect for a 92-yr-old. We didn't drive up or down Porlock Hill but used the toll road which gave the most lovely views during a leisurely drive of 1 in 14 instead of 1 in 4 - well worth the experience and the toll road is in good condition - there are a couple of hairpin bends but plenty of passing places and viewing points.

The cottage was very well appointed for exploring Exmoor but what really stood out was the fact it was so very quiet and peaceful. We had a glorious time relaxing and watching all the birds in and around the garden. You would think you were in the middle of nowhere when in actual fact you are a short drive up to the main A39 which made it a great base for exploring. Truth be told, you could stay all week and walk from the cottage in any direction without the need for a car. The cottage itself was really comfortable with lots of space and the owner was very helpful . Already booked again.

Beautiful location, comfortable beds and brilliant showers. Overall a great holiday. Only slight problem was the lack of clothes storage, just four coat hangers for a double room with a very small chest of drawers. Didn’t cause us much of a problem but a larger family might find it difficult. Having said that would definitely recommend the holiday home.

We have just had a lovely holiday in this clean, comfortable and well equipped house, Ideal for enthusiastic walkers and those less mobile. Lovely enclosed garden looking out across the valley with lots of different views. Plenty of wildlife to watch while sitting in the sun. Perfectly positioned for exploring Exmoor on foot or by car.

We particularly enjoy a rural quiet location for our holidays. This was probably as good as it gets. The cottage is on a working farm that keep cattle and sheep. We love the natural sounds of the British countryside and agricultural animals, so this suited us very well. In a valley with beautiful views with privacy and quiet surroundings. The only negative is the mobile phone signal which is not so good, but this is Exmoor and there is nothing the owners can do about that. The WIFI was excellent which compensates, It is worth it for the peace and quiet and beautiful scenery all around you. We will be returning.

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.

Nice location and ideal for walking and getting onto the moors.

Very clean, cosy and brilliant location despite the wild and windy weather. Bring waterproofs and make the most of the stunning location! Would definitely book again.

A brilliant company, great views, immaculately clean. Had a lively stay

Wonderful peaceful location, great walks available both from the property and Exmoor generally. The cottage was well appointed and beautifully warm. It is to be noted however there is no welcome hamper so you do need to arrive with the basics - some milk and tea/coffee etc if you want a cup of tea after a long drive! Despite this would definitely book Dashel Cottage in the future.

Very nice cottage, well equipped and had log burner and supply of logs. Beds very comfortable and showers were excellent. Unfortunately we had heavy snow the first night and couldn’t explore the local area. Farmer kindly used his tractor to pull us up the drive to the main road when we left. Lovely rural area.
