"Wonderfully Situated in the heart of Exmoor"

  • Stable Cottage is part of the centuries old stone built stable block at Yealscombe Farm. One of three cottages that are situated at the end of a quiet country lane, surrounded by woodland, fields and our farm animals.
    The Cottage consists of a spacious and well equipped Kitchen/dining room, Comfortable lounge with SMART TV Double bedroom with shower room next, and a twin or a 6ft zip and link double bed with ensuite shower room.

    Stable Cottage is a 20/25 minute walk from Exford, a pretty and unspoilt village with 2 good pubs, a tea room and a shop.

Relaxing family stay in Exmoor

We loved our stay! The house was just as described. Clean and had everything we needed. Tracey and Simon were very nice and helpful. The setting is tranquil and beautiful and for us a good central location for our sightseeing!

A lovely place but didn't suit our needs.

Unfortunately, we did find the online description a little misleading as we didn't realise that the second lounge was upstairs, that the enclosed outdoor area was not attached to the property (it's a short walk across the courtyard so lacked privacy) and is extremely small so not practical for our dogs or children. Dogs had to be kept on a lead around the property and no grass or field for them to run in. This made it difficult to let them out at night for the toilet as the woodland walk was dark and steep. This was our fault too as we shouldn't have assumed all of these things and should have asked the hosts more questions before booking. We also didn't realise that a maximum of two dogs were allowed and we had four (this was totally our fault for missing this on the house rules). That being said, the property was lovely, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hosts were excellent and very helpful. We also had a lovely walk to the village where we had an excellent roast in The Crown Hotel. A great place to stay but unfortunately didn't suit our needs!

Idyllic location so central to everything

We had a wonderfully relaxing week here. The circular walk to the river is a real bonus right from the door. We saw lots of deer, had several cream teas in Greg tea shop in the village. We’ll definitely be back.

A perfect hideaway location.

Stable Cottage was perfectly hidden away with the most amazing views and its own woodland walk. We were a family of seven and there was plenty of room for us all. The cottage was spotless and had everything you needed. Even a delicious cake on arrival. We walked to Exford two nights in a row and ate in the White Horse pub which was delicious. We would highly recommend stable Cottage and cannot wait to come back as we still have so much of Somerset and devon to see. Thank you tracey and family.

What A Find

There are places you stay and say "it was great - I'd go back" and there are places you really do go back. We're already planning our next visit. Simon and Tracey are excellent hosts and managed to get the tricky balance between making you feel welcome whilst letting you have your space just right. The setting is beautiful, a lovely escape to switch off and a welcoming pub not to far a walk through the forest that starts a stone throw from the house. Great place to stay with children and the house and grounds are well equipped to keep the kids happy. Look forward to our next visit. Thank you to Simon and Tracey for making us feel so welcome.

Peaceful fairytale cottage

Simon and Tracy were the most accommodating and thoughtful hosts. The cottage was spotlessly clean and ideally located for exploring the National Park. Beautifully decorated, recently refurbished, comfortable and situated in a peaceful woodland area. Thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and a cake for us on arrival was extra special. We loved the walk through the farm to the river, and spending time with the farm animals added an extra special touch. We had such a good time and highly recommend this holiday let. Thank you for having us!

A lovely property with lots of space, really well equipped and ideal for children who like animals!

This certainly is a beautiful stone cottage in the heart of Exmoor. With 4 bedrooms, sleeping 8 it is really spacious, has lovely modern furnishings and is really well equipped. There is beautiful countryside and lovely old villages in all directions - ideal for walking/exploring and also excellent for children who like to help feeding the horses, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, etc. The owners are really friendly and helpful. I can recommend this cottage without reservation!
