Wonderful stay in a peaceful cottage with a fantastic garden and quiet location. Easy access to the coast and Exmoor National Park. Good value for money.

Another wonderful stay in Little Bessemer. This was our third holiday in Sarah and John's lovely cottage. They are excellent hosts and always make us feel very welcome (especially with Sarah's baking!). Berrynarbor is quiet, beautiful, and has a nice community feel. The place is really close to the coast and the incredible Exmoor landscape. ...

Little Bessemer, totally private quality accommodation with an amazing garden in a lovely corner of England. Pub and village shop both very good as are evening walks around the village. We had the best time and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
