Stable Cottage Challacombe Reviews

Sam
We absolutely loved this cottage! Nestled on a working farm, it's the perfect spot if you're after peace and quiet. The hosts, Lindsey, Markand Ben, are super friendly without being overbearing. Our dogs had a blast with the secure gardenand the walk to the reservoir was stunning. The welcome basket was a lovely touch, packed with local goodies. The Black Venus pub nearby is great for a good meal. Would definitely come back!

We loved this cosy cottage! It had all the essentials and felt just like a home from home. The owners were really friendly and even gave us a farm tour, which was lovely. The welcome pack was such a nice touch. We'll be booking again for sure! Thanks a lot.

We really enjoyed our stay at this peaceful, cosy cottage. It's bright, roomyand well-stocked - a shame the weather wasn't better so we could enjoy the beautiful garden! The walks nearby are lovelyand it's a perfect spot for exploring Exmoor. The Black Venus pub was fantastic, just make sure to book - it gets busy! We'd come back for sure.

This place is on a working farm near Exmoor, which is great for walks and stargazing in the field next to the cottage (when the weather's clear!). It's pretty comfy and not too far from the coast either. We really enjoyed it!
James
This place is really lovely, with a great garden and BBQ. The pub nearby is perfectand the beaches are easy to reach.
