This is a very traditional stone cottage, in the heart of the village with the shop and pub within a few minutes' walk.
The elegant sitting-room has a wood-burner at each end.
The entrance to the cottage leads up into the lovely country-style kitchen.
The en suite for the master bedroom (Bedroom 1) is through the door in the far corner.
The garden is a lovely space for everyone to enjoy
With a choice of sitting areas in the garden you get to enjoy it at all times of the day
The utility-room and downstairs shower-room are through the door at the far end of the sitting-room.
Stairs lead from the open plan living-area to the bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor.
French windows lead from this room out to the patio and garden beyond. Parking is off-road here, just in front of this room.
Bedroom 1, the master bedroom, is beautifully furnished.
This is the en suite bathroom for the master bedroom.

Looking towards the village from the far side of the river Barle. A lovely place to just sit and relax.
Pack a picnic and go for an Exmoor walk from Landacre to Simonsbath. Magical moorland wherever you look and a good area to spot Exmoor ponies and Red Deer.
A stocky Exmoor stallion stands guard over his mare and foal. You could be lucky enough to spot this ancient breed from almost any point of Exmoor.
There are several thousand Red Deer on Exmoor - Britain's largest land mammal - but you've still got to keep your eyes peeled to find one!
Exmoor is magical, whatever the weather. A january frost on the road to Anstey ridge can be as beautiful as a sunny afternoon at Tarr Steps.
The very pretty bridge at Landacre on Exmoor. Always a favourite spot for picnicking and for spotting Exmoor ponies.
The riverside picnic-area is a short stroll from the cottage.

Very nice cottage and we enjoyed our stay, we didn’t use the sitting room as we felt the living area was fine and we felt it saved any problems with the dogs one of whom is only a puppy, we did have him in a crate at night!

A charming cottage, well equipped and perfect for couple or a family.

We loved Withypool - fabulous location, great garden, excellent pub and shop/post office. Note that contrary to the details on the website the owners state in the property that dogs are not allowed in the lounge. In normal (not heatwave) conditions the cottage would be fine....

Thanks for your review and we're delighted that you enjoyed lovely Withypool. Just to clarify, the owner asks that any wet dogs remain in the kitchen area (tiled) until they are dry to avoid marking the sitting-room carpet. As with all our cottages, we ask that dogs are not allowed on the furniture or in the bedrooms. Tanya, Customer Support...

A delightful cottage in a wonderful village and area. Oliver's Cottage is cosy and well equipped with a well kept enclosed garden ideal for dog owners or persons just wishing to relax in the outside. The welcoming pub is 50 yards down the road and the village shop and tea rooms another 100 yards just before the river and bridge. Try the home made cakes in the delightful tea rooms...
