Oaklands
We had a fantastic weekend at Oaklands. The location is beautiful & the house had everything we needed. There were logs ready by the log burner and the welcome biscuits were, indeed, very welcome!

Perfect Location for a Family Christmas
Large comfortable house in a valley with views over the river at the bottom of the valley. Lots of room for everyone with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The host was extremely helpful in responding quickly to emails and calling us on the day of arrival to check that all was OK. Minor drawback is the steep path to the house (but worth it for the view!). Would definitely recommend if you want a comfortable get away from it all stay.

Family holiday
Very interesting location which took a bit of exploring. We lived the surroundings and the house and fiynd lovely places to go rriymd about. The weather was difficult to gauge as we learnt that it seemed less sunny in the forest than up the hill! We thought there were 2 en suite badrooms and struggled a bit to dry clothes at first but small snags on a lovely holiday.

A very pleasant and well equipped home
We have just enjoyed a family reunion/holiday. Oaklands is a period home and the owners have gone to a lot of trouble to stock it so that it is well supplied with games and equipment for large mixed age groups. We very much appreciated the large round table in the dining room which seated our party of 7 adults and 6 children ages 2-9yrs. We ran into trouble when the stairgate gave up on us. We texted the owner in the evening and by early the next afternoon a replacement had been delivered, for which we were most grateful. The owners run the house in an eco friendly manner and we found supplies of suitable washing and cleaning materials provided. We were short of dishwasher tablets and couldn’t purchase these locally. We didn't think to contact the caretaker and sourced these some way away. All other supplies were quite sufficient for our needs. Perhaps of note to other mixed age families. the route to the front door is up a steep incline and as the owners mention is not suitable for those with restricted mobility or a buggy. Also, the hillside (lovely) garden is only suitable for primary school aged children with adult supervision (again, as mentioned in the house description). There are several areas in the garden with steep inclines. The surrounding area offers much for families to do and we barely scratched the surface. We therefore had a wonderful time at Oaklands The house is welcoming and comfortable and the owners have worked hard to make it so.

Beautiful Weekend Away
We love this area of Exmoor, it is absolutely beautiful, with fantastic walks along the river. Oaklands was perfect for our stay with our extended family and the children had a fantastic time, with plenty to occupy them, within and without the house. Peter, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful and accomodating. The house is beautiful and well stocked with everything you need. I would highly recommend a stay here. We can't wait to visit again.

Annual Autumn short break with friends
We enjoyed our stay after an initial poor experience. Specifically the cleaners were still on site @ 4.30 PM , so the floors were all very wet and the heating wasn’t working so the house was very cold. To be fair the caretaker did call out a plumber who fixed the heating, but advised us not to use the hot water until the following morning. Not the end of the world , but not a great experience given we had been playing golf in the afternoon and needed showers. The house is a great space for a larger group and is well equipped. The location is fantastic if you want rural peace with amazing vistas and just perfect night time stars
