A very friendly welcome from Gemma on arrival. The cottage is even better than the pictures on the website. Probably the best I have ever stayed in and perfect for my friend's blind cockerpoo. We were very lucky with lots of September sunshine but even if it had rained we would have been very happy to stay in all day! We will be back for sure.

Lovely cottage and in a great location. Everything you need is in the cottage, very comfortable beds and brilliant shower. The one thing that let it down was being able to hear people in the cottage above moving around and even snoring.

We had a really wonderful stay at Old Holcombe in its utterly stunning surroundings. The cottage had everything we needed and was a great base for exploring Exmoor. Were definitely planning to return in future and can see it would be a great location for a larger group across the multiple cottages.
