Idyllic rural location - well placed for exploring Exmoor and North Devon
We had a wonderful stay at this comfortable and clean cottage on a working farm. The location was up a charming rural road - we were in the country but did not feel isolated. The view from the bedroom window was stunning, the setting and the sounds of the countryside- birds, lambs and hens - set us in the perfect mood to relax 😊

Delightful Get Away
The Granary is a lovely place to stay with everything you need. It was lovely to have some tea, coffee, milk, eggs and cake !! waiting for us (the cake was delicious) The setting is stunning and so peaceful. Even though it's a working farm it's quiet and very well kept. At night all you can hear are the owls hooting and if your're lucky you will see the bats flying around. You really feel you're in the middle of no where but it's only 15 mins drive to Minehead. The only downside to staying here are the roads, they are all single track but you soon get used to them and just take your time. I highly recommend a stay at The Granary and would be happy to go back. Thank you for our lovely stay Donna & John Knight
