About this property
Hillway Lodge, near Withypool, perches on the side of the combe above the Barle Valley enjoying stunning views across the countryside and farmland to Withypool Common. Sleeps up to 6 guests in 3 bedrooms and welcomes horses and up to 2 dogs. One mile to the village with pub, shop and tea rooms.
Accommodation
The fitted kitchen has a fridge, cooker, dishwasher and microwave oven - all the essentials.
In the open-plan living room you'll probably be distracted by the views across the valley and up to Withypool Hill, but there is a modest TV, plus DVD, CD/radio/cassette, books and games. Wifi/broadband is available but please don't expect ultra-fast fibre speed.
The family bathroom has a shower over the bath, a toilet and hand basin.
Bed linen and towels are provided.
The property is well insulated with double-glazed windows and has night-store heating. Electricity is included. The water supply is from the farm's own borehole.
Guests are requested to refrain from smoking inside the cottage.

Spectacular location, and if you are looking for a rural property at the end of the track at the end of the road like we were, it is fantastic. From the drive, you can walk out onto the moor, and on wet days, the views from the bedrooms and living rooms are spectacular. You can zigzag down the hill .... Spectacular location, and if you are looking for a rural property at the end of the track at the end of the road like we were, it is fantastic. From the drive, you can walk out onto the moor, and on wet days, the views from the bedrooms and living rooms are spectacular. You can zigzag down the hill to dip your toes in the Barle. Storage heaters keep the two main bedrooms and living space very cosy (we didn't use the twin at the end, so can't comment) Wifi speeds are very limited - 2MB download, and only 120kbps up, so sufficient for pre-downloading content and checking weather or a voice call, but not high definition. No mobile signal until you are out of the valley. Only criticisms would be doors need some maintenance and are stiff to open, and cleanliness in some spots (eg under beds) could be better.

Stunning location, when the weather permits the view! No Wi fi service so difficult to check weather and chart routes. Needs modernization e.g. night storage heaters only , pull switch heater in bathroom, dishwasher does not work and no washing machine or place to dry wet boots and clothes.

Really friendly owner, added some lovely touches like a home-made cake on arrival. Absolutely stunning views even in November rain. Comfortable facilities.
