We booked quite late and were so glad to find Strawberry Cottage as it had the balance wed been looking for peace & quiet and privacy, good acces to Exmoor and pubs and shops at a walkable distance. We managed to get out despite some awful weather, but the cottage makes a very cosy retreat in the evenings. And when the sun did come out, there was acces to a lovely garden.
