The Mouse House is beautifully presented and in an absolutely stunning location, with a large garden and unspoilt views for miles.
Inside, the cottage has an open plan ground floor with a single bedroom and shower-room at the far end too. There is one step down into the kitchen/living-room.
The kitchen is built around two walls, and there is plenty of room for the dining-table.
Another view of the main bedroom with its king-size bed.
This is your own private entrance to The Mouse House - the view says it all!
The summer-house is the perfect place to sit with a glass of wine watching the deer come out to graze across the valley.
You will have all that you need for a really relaxing stay here.
Guests are made to feel at home as soon as they arrive.
The living-area has a two-seater sofa, as well as a lovely deep armchair.
Up on the first floor the stairs open out into the dual-aspect main bedroom - more fabulous views from your bed.
The views will take your breath away, whatever the weather.
This is the en suite bathroom on the first floor.
You can see the summerhouse overlooking the valley from the bedroom window.
There's flexibility for two guests, as there is also a single bedroom on the ground floor.
Next to the single bedroom is a wet-room.
The Mouse House is an absolutely perfect retreat!
The sunny hilltop setting is wonderful for eating al fresco, in complete privacy and with a panaramic countryside view in front of you.
This place is all that a 'break away from it all' is about.
Sitting in the summer-house and watching the deer grazing in early morning/evening, has to be a high point of a stay here.
This view is taken from the owners' garden, but shows you the location of the summer-house in relation to The Mouse House.

Another vantage point in your garden.
The setting is in the Devon foothills, close to the Exmoor National Park.
The pathway from your parking-area to the cottage, gives you the perfect taste of this special setting.
The River Exe is at the bottom of the steep valley.
Lyme Regis just over the border into Dorset is a wonderful place for a full day out. It usually takes about an hour to get here from the cottage.
The Exmoor National Park is even closer, approximately a 15 minute drive
The rugged north Devon coast is also just under an hour's drive. For a sandy beach try Instow.
You can be at the east Devon Jurassic coast in just under an hour. This is Sidmouth.

Astounding peace and quiet. A real charger for the batteries. Troubles melted away with the glorious scenery and fresh air.
Mr Dunderdale May 2014
Lovely cottage, small but perfectly formed and finished to a high standard with pretty garden and wonderful panoramic views over unspoilt countryside. A great place to chill out and relax but only a short drive Tiverton and main arterial routes providing easy access to other parts of Devon and adjacent counties of Somerset and Cornwall. Owners are pleasant and friendly without being intrusive to help you make the most of your holiday. We will definately be staying again. ...

The rural location was very peaceful and although the roads leading to the cottage are narrow they were quiet. The views were excellent. Easy access to Exmoor and the North Devon coast and to a number of National Trust properties nearby. Also good directions from the M5 and North Devon link road to the cottage, the owners suggested the more sensible- if slightly longer -route into the village. Good local walks on lanes and in the owners woodland....

Best "cottage parents" ever seen.
Mr Boyle October 2013
We came from Australia to this superb location with wonderful views to a beautiful peaceful rural outlook, and would return without hesitation. The cottage is homely, warm, and very comfortable and you may expect a most warm welcome from your hosts. An adjacent Summer House enjoys the same views and allows easy, relaxed outdoor eating or quiet recreation. The location allows an undisturbed holiday-at-home or easy touring to Somerset, North Devon and Cornwall. ...
