1Dairy Cottage lies within Exmoor National Park high on the southern slopes of the beautiful Barle Valley, near the pretty little riverside town of Dulverton. (approx 2 miles). It is a single storey cottage comprising one double bedroom, a small triple bunk room, and a spacious bathroom at the rear of the property. The attractive living area and kitchen enjoy the views and southerly aspect at the front, and patio doors open out to an enclosed area with pleasant views and seating which catch the afternoon and evening sun. It is a privately owned cottage situated on a no through road. The access is steep and narrow in places, as is typical of much of Exmoor. The beautiful scenery and diversity of plant and animal life should delight any nature lover, as well as walkers, dog owners and those who just want to get away from it all. Sleeps up to 4/5 guests, adjoining Byre Cottage sleeping 2 may also be available. Main bedroom with double bed Second bedroom with triple single adult bunk beds Family bathroom with shower over bath Open-plan living area with large dining table, settee, two armchairs, pouffe, wide screen TV, DVD player and a selection of books, DVDs, magazines, games, and walking and nature guides etc Well-equipped kitchen including washing machine Private garden with patio area and table and chairs, on the west side, there is also a small enclosed area at the front of the property on the east side. Communal garden with picnic tables Bed linen and towels are provided Wifi, heating and electricity is included Many essentials provided Dogs welcome (2 max) at no extra charge No Smoking Designated parking space Arrive from 3pm, refreshment provided for your arrival Depart by 10 am BOOKING Saturday to Saturday bookings are preferred, if you are unable to travel until Sunday, please still leave on a Saturday, as we are unable to obtain servicing on a Sunday and not always early in the week, meaning that we miss out on that week. The website should automatically generate an offer to do that. Prices given are generally for a week or any number of nights within it during the main season. Note, the triple single adult bunks were put in by the owners so that their grandchildren could be accommodated, and bookings for five people will only be accepted on the understanding that this is a small room with limited storage lit by a sky light and although the dining table is large, the cottage as a whole is more suited to groups of up to 4 guests. The lack of light pollution gives a stunning night sky with a visible milky way. Dulverton and Exmoor in general are very dog friendly areas and most pubs and cafes will allow well-behaved dogs. There is currently no extra charge for well-behaved pets and the owners would like to keep it that way - please make sure when you leave that there are no obvious signs that your pet has visited.
Originally a traditional Exmoor farm building, the property has been carefully converted into a single-storey holiday cottage suitable for a couple or a family group of 4/5 guests. The open-plan living area includes a large dining table, perfect for family meals or studying a map under the low level light. The kitchen is well equipped and appliances include a tall fridge/freezer, washing machine, microwave, and electric oven and hob with extractor hood. Other equipment includes a toaster, kettle, a variety of cookware, kitchen utensils, cutlery, crockery and glasses. The main bedroom has a double bed, and the second bedroom has triple single adult bunks which were put in by the owners to accommodate their grandchildren and bookings for five people will only be accepted on the understanding that this is a small room with limited storage, lit by a sky light and although the dining table is large, the cottage as a whole is more suited to groups of up to 4 guests. The family bathroom at the rear of the property comprises a bath with shower over, toilet and hand basin. Wi-fi is included and the lounge is provided with a TV, DVD, books and games, a wall heater with flame effect, plus an extra heater and night storage heaters for background warmth.

Many essential items such as washing up liquid, shower gel, toilet roll, kitchen towel, salt. pepper, cooking oil etc. are provided, as well as milk and refreshment for your arrival. A maximum of 2 dogs per booking are currently welcome at no extra cost. Please make sure that your pets flea treatment is up to date prior to your arrival. Since we do not charge for dogs, please make sure that there are no obvious signs that they have visited when you leave, and please do not leave them alone in the property at any time.
There are small enclosed areas to both sides of the property and the larger area on the western side of the property benefits from the afternoon and evening sun. There is also a communal garden with picnic tables and lovely views and the cottage has its own designated off road parking place behind an adjacent building.
Dairy Cottage has its own allocated parking off the road behind an adjacent building. It is acceptable to park on the grass opposite the gate for unloading/loading only, since the lane is narrow.
