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!

A pretty location with friendly helpful owners.

We had the most glorious relaxing break at week cottage. Located in the most idyllic spot up a no through road what more could you wish for to get away from the crowd. Yet only a couple of miles from Dulverton which has everything you may need. Lovely owners who are there if needed but we did not want for anything. The cottage ticks every box and was so cosy we didn't even have to bother with the log-burner. We will definitely be back............. and probably quite soon. ...

Central secluded atmospheric relaxing and revitalising.

Great location for walking, just note how steep you are up.
Mr Lambert February 2018
The property was delightful and charming with all sorts of interesting features and artefacts. The cottage was warm and snug with excellent central heating, a lovely log fire and lashings of hot water. We chose possibly the worst week of the year to stay as we got snowed in from the second night of our stay until the end of our holiday which had to be extended by one night without extra charge. However, the care and kindness of our landlord and landlady, Stephen and Vanessa, meant that we had all the provisions needed for a very comfortable stay. The cottage is in an idyllic location and we would definitely recommend it to friends with an appreciation of rural life and historic dwellings. There is wonderful scenery and moorland walking and the area is rich in picturesque villages with dog- friendly, welcoming pubs. Sadly, the snow curtailed our exploration of the area but we will definitely be back!...
