Beautiful, secluded getaway.

Wonderfully situated near the small village of Exmoor, Grooms Cottage is a great base from which to explore scenic Exmoor & the surrounding environment. The cottage itself is decorated to a high standard with all the amenities you could want & a wonderful view across the valley from the outdoor seating area, on a clear night the stars are amazing too. Tracey & Simon were great hosts, soon becoming firm favourites with the children who loved helping them feed & care for the animals (I must say, I became rather fond of Flossie the chicken myself). We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay & are looking forward to coming back.

Beautiful property, very well equipped. Perfect location

We have had a lovely stay at Grooms cottage. Tracey and Simon are fantastic hosts. They are a wealth of information for tips on the local area. We managed to spot rutting red deer because of there advise, it was magical. The goats, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs and of course Sillus the dog made the experience extra special for our children. The views from the garden are breathtaking, I highly recommend watching the sunrise over the valley from the garden bench. The tea,coffee and cake were a very appreciated welcome. The actual cottage is finished to a high standard. It is cosy and has everything you could possible need- a true home from home. We will be back again to visit soon

Beautiful setting and gorgeous cottage with all that we needed for our stay

Great experience booking the property and we arrived to see exactly as the booking had indicated. The booking in process was not as wanted by the owner, so felt this could have been clearer so we did not disturb them….. Beautiful cottage, setting and all needed was required, great walks has with the dog and children……loved our days out and evenings in the warmth and stunning setting…..even the lightning storm was phenomenal!

Great location for the deer rut

We spent 5 nights at Grooms Cottage in October with the aim of photographing the red deer rut on Exmoor. Although possibly slightly early for the rut, the location of the cottage was excellent, situated within short drives of many of the top spots for viewing. The cottage is well equipped and was a very comfortable place to relax when we weren't out. We enjoyed the lovely views from the cottage and walking around the woodland on site. Tracey is an attentive host and went out of her way to accommodate a request that hadn't shown up on the booking. Thank you so much! For anyone interested in the stars, it is worth mentioning the Exmoor Dark Skies astronomy group who meet in Exford on a Tuesday night. We found out about this too late to attend the week we stayed.

Clean and tidy, presentation immaculate. Penny & Simon very welcoming, helpful with maps/walks. Accommodating about car and food on leaving day. Good system for recycling and food disposal. Murmur of next-door voices from enclosed pipework in upper bedroom we chose.

All was perfect except that I did not receive owners phone numbers or door code before arrival. Had to wait outside for an hour until owner (who was unaware ) arrived at their house next door.

Absolutely stunning, perfect cottage

The cottage was beautiful. A superb location and a perfect getaway. The cottage was clean and tidy and the host had even left us a cake on arrival. We had our own private BBQ area which had stunning views over Exmoor. The cottage was accommodating to us and our 3 dogs and was the perfect location to access different parts of Somerset. We would certainly be back if we visit Somerset again.

What a great week we had....!

A beautiful little cottage with everything you need in a stunning location. Simon and Tracey and silo the dog were very friendly and welcoming! Loved the cake and fresh milk on arrival too. Lots of surrounding villages to visit. Favourite places were watersmeet, Tarr steps, valley of the rocks and lynmouth all great for walks. Huge beach at woolacombe and at far end at puttsborough the beach is dog friendly! We definitely saw the most of this part of Devon and were not disappointed with anything. Thank you so much for a fabulous stay in your cottage!
