Reviews
We stayed here for a week at the end of the summer holidays. We had such a lovely time a relaxing break. Everything you could need in the cottage perfect for kids and dogs. Beautiful surroundings. We visited the camping site down the lane a few times which is has a nice restaurant and bar. The owners were very friendly and approachable. Yes ok the road to the cottage is bumpy and uneven but we Managed it fine just taking our time it certainly didn’t ruin our stay! Would love to come back again. Thankyou for a lovey stay Laura and family
Marsh cottage is situated on the edge of Exmoor, which was perfect for our stay, for Star Gazing and being in a rural location. The garden was fully secure for our Dog which was great as we didnt have to go out and make sure they hadnt got through the fence. We felt that there were a few things that let the cottage down and out of all the cottages we have previously stayed in, this would be the one we wouldnt come back to. Firstly the drive, it is located at the end of a rough country lane, about a mile long, which caused havoc with the senors on the car and scrapping the underneath. Unless you had a 4x4 you run the rise of damaging your car. Getting out of the drive and onto the lane was bad as you had a tree stump directly behind so you had to do a three point turn to get onto it. When we arrived, there was a smell that hit you as soon as you opened the front door, and after looking around, the freezer in the hall was moldy and the microwave was rusty inside. The beds and chairs wasnt comfortable at all, which after 4 days our son was complaining that he wanted to go home to a comfortable bed. Marsh cottage is in a perfect location, with stunning views and has the potential to be a great rental property if these issues were addressed.
Marsh cottage is in the middle of nowhere, but on saying that it is only a half hour drive wherever you want to go and so is quite central. Amenities are brilliant, dish washer, washing machine, tv, DVD player etc we took our dog (a Great Dane) she had a brilliant time both in the large safe garden and on walks on the dog friendly beaches on the moors ( where there is a fantastic dog friendly pub ) If you enjoy walking with or without a dog we can highly recommend Marsh Cottage, it's spacious and very clean. Great walks and beautiful scenery.
