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 were told in a voicemail on the way to the cottage that the single track road to the property would be closed from early morning to evening during our stay, for roadworks. Effectively we had to be out early , back late and had no access to the property during the day. Heavy resurfacing lorries and wet tarmac and noise. We feel we should have been told in advance about this and given an opportunity to cancel and move our booking elsewhere. The owners went on holiday for the week and left early on the day we checked out 'to go swimming' leaving a scribbled note on the car. We are VERY upset and had our holiday spoiled. We will think twice about using this company again....

Reply from Classic Cottages
We're so sorry to hear of the difficulties you had; as we clarified in our email to you, the voicemail from the Owner before your stay was in fact to say that you could ignore the road closed sign as access was still possible, and of course the Owner did show you an alternative route once you had arrived. We're sorry if there was any misunderstanding over this. Sadly we at Classic were not aware of the roadworks or we would have let you know in advance; had we realised there was some confusion during your stay we - or the Owners' son who was staying next door - would have been happy to try to help. Despite this, we're pleased that you loved the cottage as confirmed in your note to the Owners, and thanks for getting in touch. Tanya, Customer Support...

Week Cottage is fantastic and a great place to stay for a relaxing break. The cottage is warm and cosy from the minute you wake up. There are fantastic walks and views. The roll top bath was sensational with steaming hot water to soak in. The log fire added the perfect final touches. Our dog loved it as much as we did! Cannot wait to return....

Have stayed for a short break at Week cottage once before and were very pleased when it was available for the few days that we were able to get away this Autumn. Location is perfect for exploring beautiful Exmoor and a short drive from good pubs for eating out. Week cottage is cosy and warm with all the facilities that we required for a relaxing break....
