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.

The Mouse House is a gem. Incredibly peaceful, with outstanding views. We were warmly welcomed by Rose and Jon but then left to enjoy total privacy in a stunning Devonshire setting. A pristine wee cottage and summer house, thoughtfully equipped and decorated. We were instantly relaxed and looked forward to returning after each day exploring the countryside. We went on a number of walks from pretty villages up to outstanding view points, and on beautiful river walks and dramatic moor walks too, frequently meeting wild ponies. Jon also suggested a walk from the Tarr Steps, which was one of the prettiest river walks, thank you Jon. This walk starts from a great pub - Tarr Farm Inn. And there really are red deer in the fields opposite the Mouse House. In the evenings, we enjoyed looking at the deer and cows and watching the house martins dancing and playing in the sky around the cottage and into the valley. There is an excellent pair of binoculars available for use in the cottage. Thank you so much for a truly wonderful holiday retreat. We highly recommend it....

Simply perfect. Warm welcome, breathtaking views, cosy cottage with comfortable beds, quality bed linen, utterly private and the summer house is ideal for morning coffee & evening drinks. Add the choice between the wet room or a long soak in the tub it’s almost too good to be true. ...

Lovely bijou, quiet retreat if you want to get away from civilisation. Wonderful views. Please note that all rooms are open plan except the bathrooms. Little summer house in the garden is a great place to read a book and watch the red deer in the valley....
