It was lovely being able to set out our dog feeding bowls and beds like in our home. Also very handy is the field at the rear of the cottage which we named Watership Down (no prizes for guessing why). We were able to walk our old dogs - 3x toy poodles with combined age of 42 years, freely in the fie.... It was lovely being able to set out our dog feeding bowls and beds like in our home. Also very handy is the field at the rear of the cottage which we named Watership Down (no prizes for guessing why). We were able to walk our old dogs - 3x toy poodles with combined age of 42 years, freely in the field whilst observing the convention of bagging their poo. We did find it unusual that there is no washing machine available, the dishwasher - which we didn't use - has taken priority. All in all, we had a great time and, being of Devonian origin ourselves, enjoyed reaquainting ourselves with Exmoor and surrounding areas.

Loved it there. Very clean and comfortable and warm. Everything you needed. One of the most important thing for me was the outside tap to wash the dogs off. Brilliant. Thank you Marilyn ❤️
