Cottage
Once a farm building, the Cowshed is now a delightful, all-year-round, 2 bedroom holiday home providing spacious accommodation for 4 in a tranquil setting 2 miles from Dulverton. At an elevation of 1000 ft asl it affords lovely views over the Barle Valley and to Dartmoor. It is a 3 mile walk to Tarr Steps and the Exmoor Pony Centre is just up the road. Retaining the original stone pillars and a vaulted ceiling in the living area, the accommodation is on one level, it is south facing with a veranda and has its own parking in a gated yard, secure for dogs and young children. ...Once a farm building, the Cowshed is now a delightful, all-year-round, 2 bedroom holiday home providing spacious accommodation for 4 in a tranquil setting 2 miles from Dulverton.

Quiet, warm, comfortable and well equipped - central for exploring Exmoor

First the words of caution...to reach this cottage you need to drive along some very narrow lanes and getting into and out of the parking area is rather tight. If you have a large car or are not a confident driver these could be a...More
