Charming thatched roof cottage

Fantastic clean character cottage in a quaint village on the edge of exmoor. The owners provided a well equipped property with all the necessary facilities for a great stay. The log fire was a particular asset in the cosy lounge. The owners also provided lots of useful information on places to eat and visit. Particular favourites were the Corn Dolly tea rooms and the butchers in South Molten and The Grove inn about 15 minutes drive away. The local pub is also friendly. We also enjoyed exploring exmoor and intend to return to this cottage when possible.

My daughter and I spent the October half-term week in this lovely, homely thatched cottage in a small farming village. It was very clean, warm and comfortable. Lovely open log fire with plenty of fuel provided. An ideal spot for touring the Exmoor countryside. The north Devon coast (Woolacombe, Lynton and Lynmouth) is easily reached within an hour of driving. Viv and Tony were veryfriendly and helpful. They kept us well informed of local events. We would highly recommend this property.

This was such a well equipped cottage with a lovely small garden. Although it opened onto the road this was no problem even with our small dog as there was so little traffic going through the village.

The bed were extremely comfortable and made up when we arrived. It was extremely well equipped with all the kitchen equipment we needed.

It's situated right in the countryside very close to Exmoor and the seaside easily reached. Very dog friendly as lots of local walks.

We could rely on the descriptions left by the owners of where to eat. They were spot on - and what good food!

To make the perfect holiday we had excellent weather!

Thoroughly recommended. This has to be the very best rental we've enjoyed in here in the UK for many a year: clean, well-maintained, excellent liaison with owner throughout booking period. The cottage is supplied with all the essentials of life - and featured not only a full range of cooking utensils, but also beds which were comfortable. Lovely secluded and private garden. So very comfortable ! Locals friendly - it was good to stay in a working village. Within easy reach of many attractive north Devon towns, and many pubs and restaurants featured food so good that more than a week here would have shot our diets completely. Dog friendly.

This was a holiday, in a wonderful setting, which we will remember for many many years.

We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay at the Pottery. Bishops Nympton is very much still a working farm village and none the worse for that, with the community shop two doors down and the pub over the road from that. It is very centrally situated for touring North Devon: everywhere from Ilfracombe to Clovelly to Exmoor is about 25-30 miles or 45 minutes by car. Although the weather wasn't so good there is still plenty to do and see. We recommend the attractions round Ilfracombe for those with kids, including quad biking, Chambercombe Manor (haunted house) and a couple of funfairs. The local enthusiasm for sheep racing (we saw it twice) is a bit odd though.

Tony and Viv couldn't have been more helpful in dealing with arrangements and recommending places to eat and visit, and the cottage is clearly a labour of love. One word of warning though - if you're tall (and we are all over six foot) take a crash helmet or be prepared to develop a stoop!

We have just had a brilliant holiday at The Pottery,very clean and comfy,lovely welcome from Viv and Tony.You are twenty mins away from safe sandy beaches,lots to do in the area for all the family,although you do need a car.Lovely area for walkers right from the doorstep.Shop,pub and a lovely church only steps away from the cottage.
Tony and Viv did a brilliant job keeping us updated of all the things to do and see places to eat and places to avoid.
Our stay went far too quickly.Would recommend.

A beautiful comfy cosy cottage, very clean and well equipped to meet all our needs. The Village is well located with very friendly people who made us welcome to celebrate the New Year in the lovely Snare and Gin Trap pub just a stones throw away, which also serves the biggest mixed grill and T. Bone steaks - definitely worth a visit. The Corn Dolly in South Moulton was also excellent where we had a cheese tea and lovely home made soup, would like to return in the summer to enjoy a cream tea. This was the perfect place to escape after the Christmas rush, very relaxing in front of the fire with a good book and DVD's. Lovely walks and views on frosty mornings. Enjoyed a walk on Westward Ho! Beach followed by a brandy to defrost afterwards. The information and service from Tony and Viv was excellent and we certainly hope to return in the future and have already recommended it to friends and colleagues.

I have to say we really enjoyed our week in this delightful thatched cottage. The location was great both for access to Exmoor and North Devon coast but also you are located in the hub of a rural village with a local pub and grocery store literally seconds away. The cottage itself was very comfortable,clean, cosy and really felt like a home from home. The kitchen was well equipped. We did not get a chance to appreciate the charming garden because of the unsettled weather but would have loved to have enjoyed a summer evening there with a BBQ and a few glasses of wine. Thanks Tony for facilitating a great week.
