Honestly this beat the other sites I looked at, which all wanted me to sign up before I could see prices. Here I could compare the cottages and book without faffing about. Compared it with two other companies and this was the easiest. The cottage was tidy and the owner answered my questions within the hour. Happy with it.
Read moreWe needed something cheap for the family over half term and this was the lowest price I could find for a decent place. The booking was fine but the deposit was higher than I expected and I had to chase the balance reminder. Place was OK, a bit dated, but the beds were comfy and the kids liked the garden.
Read moreWe booked the Exmoor walking week for two, which is a self guided package with luggage transfers between the inns. The route notes were detailed and the transfers ran to time every day. The one thing I'd flag is the evening meal option was a bit pricier than we'd expected for what came out. Otherwise we'd happily book the same again.
Read moreThe printed guide to the local walks was the thing I most appreciated, it was clear and easy to follow. I booked the cottage over the telephone and the lady was very patient with me. Everything was in order when we arrived. Thank you.
Been booking with them for about fifteen years and they have never let me down. The latest stay was a cottage for a family reunion and everything ran as it always does. Clear emails, good directions, and the host was helpful. Keep it up.

We needed somewhere quiet for our wedding anniversary and wanted walking on the doorstep. Booked a cottage through them after a long look at other places. The check in pack and directions were clear and the owner left a welcome hamper. Everything matched the listing, which is more than I can say for some sites. We'll be back.
Got the walking pack for a three day trip and it was well put together. Route cards, a map and a list of the inns. Everything was where it should be when we set off.
Found a cottage near Porlock on the app while waiting for a bus and booked it there and then, which I did not expect to be able to do. Confirmation came through in seconds and the host messaged me the same afternoon with the check in code. Only used my phone the whole way through, great for someone who's always on the move.
Used them for a self guided walking week and I know the area well from years of visiting, so I was watching the details. The route notes matched the paths on the ground and the inns they put us in were the ones I'd have picked. Bags were moved between the inns on time every day without fuss.
Never booked through them before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but the sign up was quick and the booking confirmation was clear about what was included. The dog friendly cottage was exactly as described and the host left a welcome note with local pub tips. Really easy to follow the whole way through.
We needed a hotel for a long weekend that was dog friendly and not too far from the coast. Compared three options before settling on this one, mainly because the listing was clearer about the dog policy. The booking was simple and the room was exactly as described. The dog loved the garden and so did we.
Way better than booking through the big travel sites, which kept showing me the same overpriced places. Found a farmhouse here with hot tub and sorted it in a few minutes. Host was quick to reply on the messages. Nice one, will use again.
Got the bike hire add on when I booked and it was the best bit of the trip. Sorted through the app in like two minutes and the bikes were waiting when we got there. Pick up was quick and the helmets fitted. Would do it again.
Needed a break fast after a rough few months at work and this was the first thing I found that had dates free at short notice. Booked a two night stay on the site while waiting for the kettle to boil. Everything came through by email within the hour, no faff. Exactly what I needed, cheers.
I looked at the big agencies first but I found the prices here were considerably more sensible for the same kind of cottage. The booking process was clear and the confirmation came through promptly. The cottage itself was warm and well kept, and the owner was most attentive. Would certainly book again.
Honestly really good, booked a trip for me and my mates to Exmoor for the bank holiday. Ordering was dead easy on the app and they replied to my question in like ten minutes. The place was lovely and the walks were brilliant. Would go again for sure.
