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!

We had a magical stay at Week cottage. The location is beautiful with numerous walks on your doorstep. Vanessa and Stephen provide a warm welcome and are attentive but not intrusive. The cottage itself is very comfortable with everything you could need. We didn’t want to leave but came away refreshed and happy with some lovely memories. Excellent in all ways....

Having now stayed at Week Cottage on four separate occasions, we can thoroughly recommend this very picturesque destination for anyone and their canine companion who wishes to experience Exmoor and the West Country at first hand.

We spent a lovely few days before Christmas at Week Cottage with our pointer. It's a small but perfectly formed cottage - perfect for relaxing, walking and just generally unwinding! Hard floors and doors in sensible places mean muddy feet and dogs aren't ever an issue, the wood burner was a real winner (especially with the dog) and there's more conventional heating too so we were super warm and snuggly. As others have commented, the owners are discreet but on hand as required and very responsive if needed - a new kettle arrived almost as soon as I mentioned the one there wasn't working and their advice on walks much appreciated. Beautiful part of the world. On piece of advice - do check the pubs are open before you set out on that long hike ;)...
