  Kylemore is a lovely old house in an interesting town.

  The bathrooms are lovely and were very clean, and the kitchen is modern with adequate equipment, the skylights making it a nice space to eat and spend time in. Garden was a pretty place to sit in sun and have a drink. The bedrooms were all lovely, kids reported beds upstairs were comfy, especially the singles. We really loved the garden bedroom, huge, lovely bathroom, doors to garden and very comfortable bed. Not to mention the beautiful, blackout curtains that made for an amazing night's sleep. A few negatives though, we rent a cottage for it to be a home from home, this requires comfortable furniture to be so. The lounge has an ok sofa, but the rest of the chairs are very uncomfortable, and the old armchair with stuffing coming out was unappealing. Pillows could be a lot better. Games room was not really a games room, just a few odd chairs and a chest with a few games in, could be made much more useful. Bathrooms and kitchen were nicely clean, but rest of house was just ok, could be cleaned better. Plastic chopping boards and utensils would be better so they can go through dishwasher and be properly clean. Wood is lovely, but never know if it's scrubbed well. The electric shower in double bedroom could not be used as it was either boiling or freezing. A welcome pack with milk and a few biscuits or something would have been much appreciated, especially as you cannot get in until 4pm. Although this sounds like a lot of negatives, we would recommend, the house has a nice atmosphere, we slept well, enjoyed time in the kitchen and had an all round fantastic holiday.

Wey House is warm and comfortable and incredibly peaceful, despite being so close to the village center. We really noticed how quiet it was and also - being part of a dark skies area - the amazing night sky. Being so close to the shop was a real and unexpected bonus - perfect to walk down the drive and pick up essentials as well as local treats! Oh and the pub is within easy walking distance too. The beds are really comfortable, there was loads of piping hot water, and plenty of room to spread out. Wey House is a relaxed and informal house set in lovely gardens and backed by well fenced paddocks that were ideal for our dogs . We also made great use of the barbecue. The house is inviting with lots of character and great views, and perfectly placed to tour Exmoor and the surrounding areas. There are also some good walks around the village too. We had a great time and are hoping to go back! Tony and Anita, the owners, who also run the village shop and tearooms, live in the village and were really welcoming, as well as quick to help and answer any questions . Altogether it was a thoroughly enjoyable and very welcome holiday.

  Woodpecker is in a great location with peaceful surroundings and a fantastic rural view. The short walk down and around the lake was a hit with the kids. We were met with sunshine, showers and heavy wind at some points (March), but that didn’t stop us from firing up the hot tub (allow plenty of time for this) and jumping in it when the wind had died down and the sun came out, perfect! The honesty shop is fabulous for recharging the lanterns supplied and picking up any additional fire lighting equipment, candles, not to mention the games, books and even a fridge with designated shelf for each tent. With it being a March booking, we made use of the winter blankets and hot water bottles (very thankful for these!), also thankful for the unlimited logs to keep the log burner topped up. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, washing up liquid, hand soap and even kitchen roll. The gas stove was very handy for cooking (as well as on top of the stove), and boiling the kettle. We were very impressed with the toilet flush, lots of power considering it was in the middle of a field and the showers were also sufficient. The site manager was very attentive and was on hand if and when needed. I would definitely recommend this holiday to others and would love to stay again. Thank you Glamping Hideaways!

Great sized house, especially for multiple families/generations, plenty of space for kids to run around and for everyone to get their own quiet space when needed. The house is pretty dated and in need of some upgrades, the oven didn't work but Tony responded quickly and brought a spare one to us from their tea shop, however it was incredibly dirty inside so we chose not to make food at the house, which added a fair expense eating out every day! The kitchen felt quite grubby and the oven trays in the drawer were greasy. The seat pads at the dining table are covered in stains, as are the white leather sofas and one of the cushions is really worn away. There were some wall stains (possible damp) behind the tv in the dark living room. On a plus side the bedrooms were clean and the bedding was lovely and clean and comfortable, there is a lot of parking which is rare and good outdoor space. It could be an incredible place, it just needs a bit of money spending on it!
