Having been comprehensively remodelled in 2010 the property comprises very comfortable holiday accommodation for up to 6 guests.

Downstairs are two further bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms.

Up to two (maximum) well behaved dogs are welcome for a supplement of £15 per dog (we may accept 3 small dogs dependant on the size/breed on request, please ask). Note, all dogs are only accepted on the basis that they are not allowed on the furniture or in the bedrooms.

The cottage was perfect as my sister-in-law had Exmoor on her bucket list and needed a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. She had been a regular visitor to Exmoor with my brother- both are very keen on hunting.

Location excellent for Exmoor and the coast. Good to have the village shop, pub and tea rooms within walking distance. House has wonderful views but garden and path from car parking area steep. Good to have basic Sky package, but the TV is small for the room. Aga/Rayburn is quite difficult to use and the oven takes a long time to heat up. Having said that, there was plenty of hot water, and heating if desired. We enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful location with amazing views to the high moor. Good shop, cafe and pub in the village. Cosy house to live in especially on a cold winter day.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
Withypool is a small village in Somerset near the centre of the Exmoor National Park. Interestingly the name Withy means Willow of which many can be seen along the riverbank.

Withypool is situated within the Barle Valley with the River Barle running through the middle. The Two Moors Way also passed through the village. To the southwest of the Village lies Withypool Common and Withypool Hill.

The area of Withypool has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and a stone circle can still be seen on top of Withypool Hill. Withypool is mentioned in the Domesday Book and in the 14th century Geoffrey Chaucer was in charge of the village in his duties as forester of North Petherton. Other such notable connections are that the artist Alfred Munnings had a studio in the loft of the Royal Oak (the village pub) and R.D Blackmore wrote part of Lorna Doone in the bar.

There is also a local shop, post office and tea rooms within the village.
