Very clean, lovely conservatory (I would love to be able to take it home!), lovely position, very quiet. Lovely to be able to walk up onto the moors directly from the gate.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oare Manor Cottage. The views from the cottage and the garden are spectacular and it’s so peaceful and quiet. The cottage is very well equipped and the furnishings and bedding etc are very high quality. The only beach nearby that’s really sandy for kids is Minehead which isn’t the best. Places like Woolacombe are much better but a bit of a drive to get to. We would have happily hung up the car keys and stayed in the valley. There are wonderful walks right from the front door and we were sad to leave at the end of the week!

We loved the seclusion and tranquility and the property is ideal for an extended family and their dogs, with plenty of space for all. We would definitely look at The Best of Exmoor again.

We had a wonderful time at Oare Manor Cottage. Such a beautiful, spacious and well-equipped house, with a beautiful garden and fantastic views all around. We loved Lynton and Lynmouth (particularly the walk to the Valley of Rocks). Also did a lovely walk from Bossington to Selworthy Beacon and down to Selworthy and Allerford - fantastic views, and trips to Dunster Castle and Minehead. Loved the welcome basked too - many thanks!

This is our thrid stay and second time at christmas, at this property. We are a family of 7, ageing from 56 to 83 years old, plus to dogs. The property is lovely ,suited us very well. Well equipped and very clean, with wonderful views! perfect for the dogs, garden is safe and securer. A gentleman called Oggi, who looks after the property was very helpful and appoachable couldn't ask for more. I'm sure we will be back. thank you.

Beautiful setting, wonderfully equipped and spotlessly clean.

the cottage is one of the very best we have stayed in. this was the third time we had booked through "Best of Exmoor" and on each occasion the accommodation and the service has been second to none.

Absolutely gorgeous cottage. Fabulous peaceful location in the Doone Valley, with the Coleridge Way right on your doorstep. We arrived on a wet, windy December evening and the cottage was toasty with welcoming lights on for us. Walking into the fairy light lit conversatory with its underfloor heating gave the cottage a magical feeling and set the tone of our holiday. Loads of space, beautifully clean, and a huge welcome basket filled with biscuits, nuts, crisps and wine. We couldn't finish it all! The farm at the end of the road has a honesty box selling duck eggs which make delicious fry ups before you set off on numerous walks straight from the cottage. We bought all the eggs during our stay! This is the second property I've booked through Best of Exmoor, and you cannot fault them. Incredibly simple booking process, high standard of properties, and great communication and info. Why go anywhere else?!

This house was perfect for us. It is in a gorgeous setting and is decorated tastefully. The room layout worked very well for our group (two families). Relatively quick access both to Porlock and Lynton/Lynmouth. Really, it was all one could hope for, and we hope to come back some day.

The cottage was so well equipped and comfortable, it was spotlessly clean. I loved the extra touches as putting the lights on for us as we were arriving in the dark and the hamper left was very generous. Beds were very comfortable and everything worked well. We will definitely be back.

This was our second stay ,so its fair to say that we are in love with Oare cottage and its magnificent location ! It was wonderful to be in this peaceful location with everthing we needed to relax ,a warm house ,the best valley ,walks on our doorstep ….All our needs were met , we sat in the conservatory on rainy days ,relaxed in the sitting room and that huge bed was wonderful .I loved the horses in the field ,hearing the birds in the morning and feeling far away from the busy world . This house makes you feel at home very quickly ,just what you want on holiday .Loved all the little touches too ,bathrobes ,shampoo etc felt luxurious .Again will be back hopefully at a Christmas time ,I am dreaming about this .Thankyou .

Comfortable, well equipped property in a beautiful location.

The cottage is so beautiful, loads of space and very comfortable. A big welcome basket is a special treat. The wraparound garden is lovely and much bigger than you usually get with a holiday rental - the dogs loved it and spent ages out there. The gate can be closed so children and dogs can’t get out. This is definitely the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

Beautiful house in a wonderful location.

Lovely location providing good access to the coast and Exmoor, perfect for leaving work behind and enjoying the countryside. The caretakers had prepared the house for us on arrival and we felt very welcome after a long journey.

Wonderful cottage. A rare gem. Has everything you could possibly need during your stay. For us the peace and quiet were paramount and we certainly found it here. An enclosed garden for our dog was also important and this one was delightful. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking with plenty of wildlife to observe.

Excellent property in a lovely location.very quiet and peaceful. perfect for the dog too.

Luxurious furnishings and stunning scenery

Second visit with grandchildren,its so different to there normal environment and they absolutely loved every minute of their stay. Just bring your walking boots and enjoy.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. So quiet and peaceful. We stayed with our 3 daughters and had a wonderful time. My daughter loved visiting the horses and donkey in a nearby field. We had a nice walk from the house to the sea. We also visited Lynmouth, Lynton and Illfracombe. All very nice. The house is very comfortable with lots of attention to detail. Oggi was very helpful when we needed help with a spare key. A great time had by all.

A wonderful cottage in a stunning location, perfect for us and our dogs. The little extras and attention to detail were second to none and met our needs in every way. We would certainly re visit.

A fantastic cottage in a fantastic location. Everything was thought of inside the cottage. The quality was amazing. We did not want to leave.

First class accommodation in a wonderful location. If peace and quiet with access to lovely walks is what you want then this is the place. Great sleeping accommodation . Lovely views, spacious gardens, help and advice on hand, good local pubs and opportunities to travel further afield although why would you want to? Highly recommended.

To arrive on a very wet and wild day to find a warm house with welcoming lights and a wonderful welcome basket was all we could ask for. Everything else was a bonus and although the house is in a secluded spot, the main road is literally five minutes away, so nowhere was that far We would definitely recommend and would return in a heartbeat

An absolutely stunning property with added wow factor, set in a peaceful idyllic location. Oare Manor Cottage is the perfect ‘get away’ retreat and one we highly recommend and will definitely be returning to.

Beautiful situation, totally stunning house.

Lovely old house in a beautiful, peaceful location on Exmoor - but still within easy reach of the main A39 to Porlock/Lynmouth. The house is very well equipped - everything you need is provided. It is very comfortable and welcoming and well positioned for some excellent walks on the moor. Wonderful welcome pack!

Wonderful location - very peaceful. Lovely walks from the cottage, and within easy reach of Lynmouth and Porlock.

- the location was perfect with the most stunning view of the surrounding countryside - peace and tranquillity guaranteed

Fabulous cottage. We arrived as the darkness was setting in; the lights and the heating had been put on - what a wonderful welcome. The cottage has the "wow" factor. Spotlessly clean and warm (which can often not be the case); each room furnished in keeping with the era of the cottage. The only thing that surpassed the beauty of the cottage was the absolutely stunning location. What a gem of a place. A wonderful week had by my husband and myself and our two dogs. Thank you to all concerned for a most enjoyable week.

Location is absolutely stunning, views magnificent. The house is gorgeous, one of the best that we have stayed in.

This cottage is very spacious and so homely. It had a very special vibe about it, just such a relaxing place to be staying at. Many thanks
