  One of the reasons we booked the cottage was because of the numerous animals on the farm and the short walk to the pub?

  We only saw 3 Alpacas during our stay and the walk to the pub seemed to be non existant. We couldn't find any path and if we had I'm sure it would have been much more than 6 minutes walk, as stated in the description. Whilst the cottage itself was comfortable and had everything we needed, it did need cleaning. Particularly between the kitchen unit and the fridge and behind the bath. The mirrors were all smeared, I had to clean them to be able to see properly. Beware of the decking outside the patio door, it's very slippery when wet. All that said, it was a beautiful location and the village was lovely and had some beautiful walks. The locals were very welcoming and helpful. The owners of the cottage had been very thoughtful and left us a bottle of wine, fresh bread, milk and biscuits. Excellent clothes washing facilities and thankyou for the added touch of a hair dryer. I would suggest some leaflets at Foxlair, suggesting places to visit as there is no Internet connection for online searching. There are some books in the cottage with historical information on Withypool. The local post office is very helpful with tourist information. We would definately come again as its an ideal location for visiting Lynmouth, Dunster and Porlock and we enjoyed our fury friends in the garden along with the beautiful scenery. Thankyou Jo

  Downstairs was excellent, with a nice large kitchen/diner with doors to a west facing courtyard, so a nice sunny aspect if the weather is good.

  The lounge was also a good size with a comfortable sofa and chair. WiFi was excellent and it was easy to stream programs on the smart TV or on our own devices. Upstairs, the main shower room was large and very stylish, with a superb large shower. However we found the bedrooms rather disappointing - the main bedroom was in the eaves, with only two very small windows, so we felt that the room was rather claustrophobic. The en suite bathroom was also very small and the bath was short and difficult to get into and out of. The second bedroom was brighter but there was very little space around the beds. Storage in the bedrooms consisted of a chest of drawers but no wardrobe, just a few hooks on the wall. The location is excellent - Mark is a great village with two pubs, a post office/general store and a bakery. It is also a great centre for a holiday, with lots of places to visit in all directions. Wedmore is only a couple of miles to the east, and Wells about 10 miles away, both are worth a visit. You are also on the Somerset Levels, so can see for miles around and it is great areas for bird watching - we saw lots of starlings on our trip and the murmurations in the area are famous. The coast is only 15 minutes away and Bath and Bristol are in easy reach.

  My partner and I had a really nice time, it's in such a lovely location. Very peaceful and quiet. . You're surrounded by animals and a lovely Pony that's so friendly! We really enjoyed the hot tub The fire pit was lovely, just what we needed on our final night watching the stars. Its a short 15 minute drive to shops like Aldi and Sainsbury's and morrisons, however 8 minutes the other way takes you to a lovely village called cheddar. Danni recommend a Chinese too us which was just amazing. Quality was great. We didn't get to meet the owners due to them being away at the same time however their daughter who was there managing sorted out everything and was a great host. If you're tall, just watch out for the tv placed on the inside of the pod as its easy to catch your head on! The only negative was there was no actual power in the shower. The water just trickled out with no pressure so we really struggled to shower and there was no hot water. So showering with cold water was a bit harsh in the cold weather but other than that it was great! Thanks for having us♡

  We had a fantastic time.

  The Barn was lovely and extremely comfy. We had everything we needed plus the benefit of lovely surroundings. The couple that owned the barn were only next door, and were really friendly and attentive to our needs. The Barn had a fantastic homely feel, with a cozy snug living room, gorgeous kitchen that brought the outside in, and really comfy beds that I would like to have at home (but I have still never quite managed to achieve that lovely hotel feel). The area was great, really easy to get to beautiful places like Cheddar, Wells, and Glastonbury, as well as the coast. The village had great local pubs within walking distance (10 mins at a very lazy stroll), but there were also other places to eat in beautiful surroundings and great food within a 15 minute drive. We would definitely recommend Magnolia Barn as a lovely place to stay and hope to visit again. Thank you from Rachael, Andy and Caitlin .

  We stayed for five nights in this cottage and really enjoyed our stay.

  It was clean warm and quite well equipped it had every thing we needed including comfy sofas and a dining table to eat the beds are also very comfy so a good nights sleep was no problem. It was nice to have a nice table and chairs to sit on outside when the weather was nice. It has a long paddock at the back to have a walk or exercise your furry friend. You can do more of a walk around the loop beyond the paddock which you can reach the the white heart pub easier than walking along the main road (not open every day). The owners are friendly and helpful if needed but very good at letting you have privacy and don’t bother you. The cottage has a good size space for your car or two. It’s a fantastic location if you want to visit places like Chedder Gorge or Glastonbury and Wells etc. We would definitely come back and stay in this lovely cottage again.
