Week Cottage is a self-contained part of an historic farmhouse on the edge of Exmoor. The setting is peaceful, off the beaten track, yet very easy to get to.
This is the enclosed side garden with picnic table and fitted barbecue.
Another view of the living space. Wooden shutters ensure the cosiest stay even out of season.
The cottage is so cosy for evenings in or out-of-season, and the garden is ideal for eating al fresco.
The open plan ground floor has a wood-burning stove and so much character.
There is a pretty, enclosed place to sit at the front of the cottage too.
The dining table is tucked in one corner of the room.
This is the bespoke fitted kitchen, perfectly in keeping with the cottage and its atmosphere.
The boot-room creates a spacious entrance hall, where you can sort out boots and dogs before going in to the living-area.
The master bedroom with its antique brass bed is on the first floor, at the top of the turning cottage stairs.
Low window sills and wooden shutters celebrate this wonderful stone cottage.
The bathroom, also on the first floor, offers an original roll-top bath as well as a shower cubicle.
Looking back across the bedroom, to give you the best impression of the space.
There are interesting features throughout the cottage - this is the boot room with its high ceiling.
A little window on the landing looks out over your garden.
This truly is a 'classic' cottage in every sense.

The cottage nestles to the left-hand side of the farmhouse. This is a wonderful Exmoor setting, where dogs are welcome and walks are wonderful. The garden is just to the left of the cottage.
Come here if you want to switch off from the pressures of daily life. Walking from the doorstep, fresh air, peace and quiet.
The famous Tarr Steps are an iconic Exmoor landmark.
Britain's largest land mammal - the Red Deer - can be found in many parts of Exmoor. You just have to keep your eyes open! In late September and October you can listen for the roaring of the stags during the rut.
The beautiful Exmoor scenery is so easy to reach from Week Cottage - you can simply walk up the hill to find some wonderful open space.
This is the lovely picnic spot by the river in Withypool. The shallow water is a great place for dogs to cool off.
Exmoor isn't just a summer destination - think of autumn! Cosy pubs, leafy walks blazing with colour, the Red Deer roaring..... Why not?
The native breed Exmoor Ponies (with their 'mealy' muzzle) are historic and endangered and, when you see a foal like this, absolutely adorable!

This was a beautifully restored cottage attached to the owners house. In spite of this I felt very private there with a little garden and bench at the front which got the afternoon sun and another fenced garden to the side. It is quite small, cozy and well equipped. The internet worked fine. The owner was very welcoming and friendly and the whole property was beautifully kept. The location on exmoor is lovely with so many beautiful places a short drive away. It is on a steep hill (be aware) and is very, very quiet apart from wildlife. A really lovely place for a quiet retreat or walking holiday. ...

What a perfect tranquil retreat Week Cottage is.. If you want to escape from it all in glorious countryside then this is the place to go. Vanessa and Stephen live next door and only next door if you need anything, had a wonderful welcome tea tray and a bottle of wine chilling for me in the fridge. The cottage is full of character and has a really homely feel to it.. Very cosy indeed, I loved sitting in the window seat reading at the end of the day listening to the owls... The cottage has a really homely comfortable feel to it and I didnt want to leave. The bathoom is lovely with a freestanding deep bath and the shower brilliant, the bed so comfy, had the best nights sleep ever.. Very easy to drive from here to places such as Dulverton, Dunster and Minehead.. A lovely little front garden which is secure if you have a dog, which is really helpful when you want to relax as dont have to worry about the dog wandering, honeysuckle in abundance.. Also a separate garden with picnic table and barbecue... Loved sitting under the tree and reading... Thankyou Vanessa and Stephen for my stay here and also for my sweet peas.!!!!.......I had the best holiday ever and will definitely be returning. ...

This cottage is gorgeous and cosy, perfect for a couple and a dog. It's in an ideal spot for exploring the local area and equipped with everything we needed. The hosts are really friendly. We ate at The Badgers Holt on 2 of the 3 nights and the food is excellent! You'll need to book in advance though as they aren't always open. Closed Wednesdays and during the day, and they serve food from opening at 6pm to around 8.30pm. Tarr Steps and Dulverton are worth a visit too!...

Wonderfully remote location with excellent views of the night sky but at the same time ideal for seeing all that Exmoor has to offer.
Lovely hosts too!
Highly recommended!
