A comfortable cosy cottage, the kitchen was well equipped and all beds were comfortable. However, be aware it is a steep single track lane with limited pull in places to the cottage.

This really is a lovely cosy cottage which is really well equiped. 6 (adults) stayed to walk the first 5 days of the south west coastal walk from Minehead down to Saunton. It was a perfect base with good taxi service from Lynmouth to Combe Martin. the No 10 bus which linked Porlock Weir to Minehead and easy access to get food shopping in LyntonRead more and some really good eating pubs. We had 3 big cars so the parking was a bit tight but manageable! We didn't bring dogs because of the walking conditions, but it would have been really good with a wonderful large utility room for muddy feet/boots. If we came back to the area, we would definitely book again. Hide

If you want a cottage in a quiet, scenic, rural location yet within easy reach of the sea and other attractions, then Keepers Cottage could be the place for you. Set at the top of a narrow lane the property has a beautiful view to the front and the start of Exmoor a 200m walk from the rear of the property. The pictures on the website really do it jRead moreustice. It is a large, comfortable property which is extremely well equipped. We had a fabulous week there and wouldn't hesitate to book it again should we re visit the area in the future. There are lots of things to do including beautiful walks such as the Heddon Valley and the Valley of the Rocks, lovely beaches such as Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Coombe Martin, and great attractions for all the family such as Watermouth Castle, the cliff railway at Lynton and the Quince Honey Farm at South Molten.

This cottage is in a fabulous location if you are looking for peace and quiet. There are views of the sea between the hills from the front and walks on the moor just a few hundred yards behind. It is very comfortable, roomy and nicely furnished and has a pretty garden. We had a job to fault it, highly recommend it and hope to return.

The position of Keepers Cottage was for us its main recommendation, close to both the sea and moor. In fact Exmoor starts right behind the house which is lovely. Dark skies and solitude but easy access to the town. The Barbrook garage is brilliant for topping up on essentials and both Lynton and Lynmouth have interesting places to see and the waRead morelks from there are some of the best in the world, temperate rainforest too. We also visited the local cinema which was charming. Accommodation is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen has all the equipment needed to self cater. We would definitely recommend it for families and groups. Hide

We absolutely loved Keepers Cottage! I don't think we've stayed in such a well-equipped holiday kitchen before! The views from most of the windows are amazing, the location is totally private and peaceful and the cottage is very airy, comfortable and welcoming. The cottage was spotless on arrival, instructions are clear and the garden is delightfulRead more! Exmoor common is just a short walk further up the hill. You need a car to go anywhere else as the cottage is wonderfully remote! Wifi at the cottage is excellent. There is a petrol garage at the bottom of the lane which surprisingly stocks just about anything you may need! Lynton and Lynmouth are on your doorstep for cafes, restaurants and gift shops. The Valley of the Rocks was breath-taking as was the Heddons Mouth walk. We recommend both. We ate at home most evenings as the range cooker is great and very clean! We can't recommend Keepers Cottage enough! Hide
