This is a quirky, characterful and comfortable house with a gorgeous garden in a beautiful very rural location. It isn't for those with mobility issues who mind ducking for some low doors, a bit of a slope, or dread meeting a tractor on a single track road. But if you want seclusion, privacy, beautiful views and stunning (slightly challenging but rewarding) walks from your door; before shedding boots and coats in a big boot room en route to the Aga - then this is a great place to stay. The weather was mixed when we stayed but the Sky TV and WiFi were great for rainy hours and a bit of home-working. Six adults of split generations and 1 dog enjoyed walks with views to Wales, dark night skies, a sun trap patio, the tallest tree in England, Dunster, Minehead, Porlock Weir and fantastic food on several occasions (it was that good) at the Royal Oak Inn a steep mile away. Finally, the neighbours were really nice and it felt like the owners genuinely cared that we had a good time.

Westcott Cross Cottage is an amazing holiday cottage. The house is spacious and it’s position is spectacular with a large lawned garden and wonderful views. It has all the equipment needed for a holiday stay .

The garden and views were stunning, unfortunately because of all the rain we had the lawn couldnt be mowed so it was a bit like a field, not that the dogs minded at all! The house is very quirky due to it originally being three cottages so there are two kitchens and two lounges and the bathroom upstairs goes right across the middle of the house so there are two doors either side to open and lock, soon got used to it. The house was cosy due to the aga being on all the time. There is an electric oven which is old and the oven takes ages. We love Exmoor and was out every day walking the dogs. We had 3 lovely days and three days sunshine and showers the Doone valley was our favourite day. We did go to the Royal Oak in the village and had a very nice meal there with friendly staff. There are 3 birdfeeders in the garden and it was lovely to hear and see them every day, they are very greedy and got through the seeds in record time! There is no phone signal there but that is usual on Exmoor. A bottle of champagne, lemon drizzle cake and flowers were left which was fantastic and much appreciated. We eally had a lovely time and enjoyed the quiet and very comfortable beds. It was a well equipped house and we would definately recommend it.

Exmoor is very dog friendly, and we particularly appreciated that this cottage provides the option of kennels or a boot-room for them. My husband suffers from asthma if we stay anywhere that has allowed dogs on the furniture, and on one past occasion, I was bitten by fleas in the bed. So, it is really good to find somewhere that shares our definition of "dog friendly" and we all had a wonderful time.

Very nice house with a personal feeling of the 70s, wonderful Aga, we love the kitchen, great garden especially for dogs, very friendly owner, ideal for a great family, thanks for the lovely stay

The house is in a fantastic position with beautiful views. Great for walking from the doorstep. Large gently sloping garden for outside games. Very well equipped, comfortable and warm. Bring binoculars for enjoying the wildlife from the garden.

The cottage is perfect for a relaxing holiday. The garden and surrounding views are spectacular. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. We were a party of 7 Adults and 1 four legged family member, which suited us very well. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would happily return. Thank you
