Delightful, peaceful access to Exmoor
Chris was there to meet us and from that moment on we had a great stay despite the truly awful weather. Cutthorne, set on a small farm, is peaceful with easy access to the all of Exmoor’s and the local coast’s delights. The nights are quiet and the Shippon are beds super comfy, so great for a good night’s rest. The woodburner worked a treat and the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans and utensils for easy cooking. Fully recommended.

Lovely location
We spent a lovely weekend with friends at this cottage. The location was fantastic for walking, and the hosts were friendly. The only small things to mention is that we noticed a lot of cobwebs in the vaulted ceiling in the living room, and some mould on the wall by the main door. The bedrooms and bathroom were well kept, cosy and warm. However the living room only really warmed up after having the fire roaring for some time but it was a particular cold weekend with the snow. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves, thank you!

North Devon was a blast!
I chose this place because of the good reviews and the location. Cannot fault the accommodation, it was delightful. High quality bedding and beds which were so comfortable, nothing worse than an uncomfortable bed when your on holiday . Kitchen had everything you need and a lovely wood burner . Chris and Freya were lovely hosts with lots of knowledge about the area. If you love peace n quiet and spectacular scenery , then this is the place for you . I will be back
