Coot Roundhouse was comfortable, welcoming, cosy, fun, peaceful and a pleasure to spend our six days and nights in.The fishing was excellent, rewarding and close by.Would recommend the Coot Roundhouse for a ‘get away from the rat race retreat’.It contained everything required to make our stay cosy, comfortable and enjoyable.

Coot Roundhouse was very cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed and was in a beautiful location. We loved listening to the birds, the water and the local sheep. It was very peaceful and we were lucky with the weather and managed to sit outside in the March sunshine. Easy to pop into Cullompton for food, but felt very remote. We absolutely loved staying here and wished we'd booked longer.

Nice 4 day break in Coot Roundhouse. Equipment supplied is adequate but basic. I noticed that all of the electrical equipment was not PAT tested.
