Shearwater Cottage, lovely tranquil space on Exmoor

I had an amazing stay at this peaceful and restful retreat. The accommodation was beautifully designed, with clean lines and equipped with all the necessary amenities. It provided the perfect environment to unwind and recharge. The hosts were fantastic, going above and beyond to cater to all my needs. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a relaxing getaway.

Very restful holiday

Absolutely beautiful place in beautiful location. The interior design is very aesthetic and well thought out. Great onsite amenities throughout, look forward to coming back!

Family getaway

Apologies, this is a little late for a review of our stay last year, as I though that my wife had completed the review previously! With that said, a huge thank you for the most incredible weekend. Our accommodation was clean and decorated beautifully throughout. The amenities and location were on point, and the hosts were extremely welcoming, very helpful whilst being very discreet. We had an absolute blast with our friends that were also staying locally, and made the best memories! We can’t wait to come again.

Wonderful Stay *****

The accommodation was lovely. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, neat bathroom, dining area & lounge area with views over exmoor. All you could want and more. Right next to Moor & Sea /Creative Craft. venue. Fabulous charcoal sketchbook course with a brilliant tutor - Kate Boucher. Beautiful lunches provided as part of the course including delicious cakes for morning & afternoon breaks. Bridget & Richard amply catered for my difficult diet restrictions. They were excellent hosts & I highly recommend staying here whether you’re doing a course or not. Lynton and the north Devon coast are close by. Great beaches & coastal walking.

Lovely

The lodges have been newly renovated with so much care and attention to detail. It's all very clean and tastefully designed with real plants and works of art and a well equipped kitchen. There are views over fields and an outdoor table in the sunshine. It was all delightful and I could've stayed much longer than my four nights. Hosts Bridget and Richard are friendly and helpful. Walks from the site, through a field and down country lane/bridleway are lovely. You can be on the SW coast path within 30 mins.
