Bedroom was well appointed and the bathroom was a good size with a great shower.

Wonderful location to explore Exmoor

Wonderful location to explore Exmoor. We loved Porlock and the cottage is located very close to the shops/pubs but down a quiet, private road which leads directly to the countryside.
Very cosy cottage, and the wine, flowers and milk were a thoughtful welcome

Porlock Weir stay

Really loved staying here - such a unique property. Loved the direct beach access and the bridge to get to the cottage. We were walking the coast path and it made an excellent base for the first two legs. Beds were really comfy and all very well appointed. Highly recommend!

Birch Cleave Stable - comfortable and cosy

We stayed in Birch Cleave Stable in Simonsbath, in the heart of Exmoor. The cottage was comfortable, warm and cosy - perfect for a week’s holiday in this lovely part of England. Very good and friendly pub opposite, great amenities and a wonderful location made for a fabulous break. Can’t wait to return.

The best holiday cottage we have rented.

Splat Barn cottage is fantastically well equipped and is in a superb location for short walks into the village (and to the pub!). The views across the fields and down to the sea are superb. The owners were both helpful and fast to get back to you. Would recommend this property unconditionally.

Holmdale 2024

This is second time in consecutive years our group of seven has stayed at this property. The overriding benefit is its great location right in the heart of the village with local shops cafes and supermarket just a stroll away. There is also a nice village pub right next door. We found plenty of comfortable seating in the lounge to accommodate a large group or family

Dunkery View is a wonderful place to stay

Dunkery View is a wonderful place to stay, being on the edge of the National Trust's Holnicote Estate and surrounded by the beautiful Exmoor countryside. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, well-appointed and a perfect place from which visit and walk on my favourite parts of Exmoor. I very much hope to stay here again in the coming years.

Excellent company

Third time we have booked with Best of Exmoor.
Easy to use booking system and good follow up communication.

The Old Laundry, Exford was well equipped for all our needs. Nice to find some bread, milk, tea and coffee to start us off.
Being off street always easy to park at the property.
Exford is an excellent location with many interesting places only a short drive away and accessible to great walks.

Cosy cottage in Porlock

We had a very nice stay at 4 Lowerbourne, Porlock. The beds were very comfortable & so were the chairs in the sitting room - nice high backs apart from anything else!! The cottage was cosy & fresh & we would recommend it.
