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!

The male host, S, was especially friendly and nice, and the cottage is cute, in a beautiful setting near the moor. It was also nice to have a clotheswasher and dishwasher, and it was clean. They even flew the flag of my country for my arrival, which I found touching. But unfortunately, the heat kept shutting off in the middle of the night such that I woke up every night that I was there due to the cold. This happened even when I set the heat right before bed. The bed itself was also uncomfortable, and that coupled with the lack of heat caused me to start to get sicker than I've been in years. It got severe enough that I knew I had to leave to go to a place with consistent heat and a decent bed if I wanted to get well, and so I wound up leaving about 6 days early. I'm sure the cottage can be great in warmer months, if the bed is replaced with something comfier and a longer heat program is established....

We had a fabulous holiday the cottage we had everything we could want Steve and Vanessa were amazing. There is such a lot to do and see around the area we were out every day we watched Steve breaking in a young horse which was amazing. The cottage is well appointed and in a beautiful location perfect for dog walking and those seeking piece and quiet amongst nature we hope to return soon to the delightful cottage and country side of exmoor ...
