    Fantastic cottage in lovely location. It is secluded and quiet but there’s lots to do nearby if you like being outdoors. Very friendly/welcoming locals and helpful host. Cottage has everything you could need plus lots of nice thoughtful touches.

Property information

The Old Malt House is located in a quiet spot within Exmoor National Park. It's a detached period property dating back to the 1800s, formerly the stables and outbuildings to the old village Inn, and the garden was reportedly once the village pound, housing the local animals. Accessed via a sunny cobbled courtyard (shared with the owners' property next door) the front door leads straight into the open-plan living area, with a small area for muddy boots and coats immediately inside the front door. The main living area is open plan, with ample seating, a 50" smart TV, inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and a dining area and well equipped modern kitchen. A door at the far end of the living area leads into an internal hall, from which both bedrooms and the bathroom are accessed. A few steps from the kitchen area lead up to the games room and from here there are a few more steps up to an external door opening onto the garden. This is private and enclosed with lovely countryside views, and enjoys all day sunshine. The accommodation is all on the ground floor but there are a number of steps to reach the garden and the front entrance is via an old uneven cobbled...

Neighbourhood information

Located in the tiny village of Exton, in a quiet but accessible corner of Exmoor National Park, this is a truly peaceful location, with the only noise coming from the pheasants that frequently meander through the village and from the sheep and cows that graze on the nearby farm. Below Exton, 400m down the (steep!) hill, lies Bridgetown, which has a pub (serving very good home cooked food) and a campsite, with a well equipped shop for everyday essentials. There is also a bus stop, with services to Dulverton, Exford, Winsford, Wheddon Cross, Dunster and Minehead. This opens up a wealth of point to point walks as well as day trips. There are excellent walks and cycling (road, mountain and gravel rides) from the doorstep and the cottage is also well placed for exploring further afield. The coastal town of Minehead with its sandy beach and many amenities is a 25 minute drive away, whilst the dog friendly beach at Dunster is 20 minutes away. Dunkery Beacon and Tarr Steps are within a 15 minute drive. The delightful small market town of Dulverton lies within easy reach of the cottage (7 miles; 15 minutes drive) and has a range of independent shops, including greengrocer, butcher,...
