About this property

Charming Exmoor cottage in tranquil setting near mediaeval village of Dunster

Set in the village of Timberscombe, just 3 miles from the vibrant, mediaeval village of Dunster with a wide choice of pubs, restaurants, cafes, gift shops and its romantic castle.
Situated on a quiet, no-through lane (off-road parking for 2 cars) with lovely views and direct access to moorland and forest walks.
Cosy lounge with log-burning fire, seating for four and TV/DVD with digital streaming capability.
Kitchen/diner with range cooker and all mod cons, a handy utility/boot room (please note this is 3 steps down from the kitchen and where the fridge-freezer stands) and a peaceful cottage garden with space to dine alfresco.
Upstairs leads to the bathroom (separate shower and bath) and 2 bedrooms. The pretty front room has a double bed, while the back room can be provided as either a twin room or with a spacious and comfortable zip-and-link superking bed.
Unfortunately, due to rising costs but in particular the expected increase in fuel costs, we have currently had to add a heating fee per night to cover the expected costs of gas and electricity.

Just perfect
Okay, the weather was just perfect to begin with, which is not in your hands. But everything else was perfect too. I made some a bit of a mess around the booking before we even arrived and Becky was super accommodating and helpful. The place was in spotless condition with everything you could want from a home away from home. We just loved staying there. Thank you so much Becky. What an enchanting place you’ve got!

Perfect for Exmoor
We stayed 3 nights at Becky’s cottage. We loved it. Really comfy bed and sofas, the cottage was clean and the heating was good! We will definitely stay again the next time we are in Exmoor. Thank you Becky!

Really nice
Really enjoyed our stay at Willow cottage, it had everything we needed, we had lots of places to see, just a bit disappointed that the local pub wasn’t open while we were there, but it didn’t spoil our stay. Would stay again

Timberscombe Holiday
A very pleasant holiday in a quiet location with a kind welcoming present from our host; Becky, to greet us. The accomodation was comfortable with ample entertainment facilities. The kitchen had plenty of culinary equipment; complete with a large electric range. The location; Timberscombe, close to Dunster afforded many opportunities for visits to interesting towns and reasonably unspoilt countryside. A comprehensive guide to local areas of interest was available to peruse. All in all a most pleasant break; far too short a holiday of course.

All we needed
Great cottage for our stay. The stream/ford at the end of the lane was a delight.
