Week Cottage is a self-contained part of an historic farmhouse on the edge of Exmoor. The setting is peaceful, off the beaten track, yet very easy to get to.
This is the enclosed side garden with picnic table and fitted barbecue.
A view of the living space. Wooden shutters ensure the cosiest stay whatever the season.
The cottage is so cosy for evenings in or out-of-season, and the garden is ideal for eating al fresco.
The open plan ground floor has a wood-burning stove and so much character.
There is a pretty, enclosed place to sit at the front of the cottage too.
The dining-table is tucked in one corner of the room.
This is the bespoke fitted kitchen, perfectly in keeping with the cottage and its atmosphere.
The boot-room creates a spacious entrance hall, where you can sort out boots and dogs before going in to the living-area.
The bedroom with its antique brass bed is on the first floor, at the top of the turning cottage stairs.
Low window sills and wooden shutters celebrate this wonderful stone cottage.
The bathroom, also on the first floor, offers an original roll-top bath as well as a shower cubicle.
Looking back across the bedroom, to give you the best impression of the space.
There are interesting features throughout the cottage - this is the boot-room with its high ceiling.
A little window on the landing looks out over the garden.
This truly is a 'classic' cottage in every sense.

... and its companion.
The cottage nestles to the left-hand side of the farmhouse. This is a wonderful Exmoor setting, where dogs are welcome and walks are wonderful. The garden is just to the left of the cottage.
Come here if you want to switch off from the pressures of daily life. Walk from the front doorstep and discover fresh air, peace and quiet.
The famous Tarr Steps are an iconic Exmoor landmark.
Britain's largest land mammal - the Red Deer - can be found in many parts of Exmoor. You just have to keep your eyes open! In late September and October you can listen for the roaring of the stags during the rut.
The beautiful Exmoor scenery is so easy to reach from Week Cottage - you can simply walk up the hill to find some wonderful open space.
This is the lovely picnic spot by the river in Withypool. The shallow water is a great place for dogs to cool off.
Exmoor isn't just a summer destination - think of autumn! Cosy pubs, leafy walks blazing with colour, the Red Deer roaring..... Why not?
The native breed Exmoor Ponies (with their 'mealy' muzzle) are historic and endangered and, when you see a foal like this, absolutely adorable!

An adorable little cottage on Exmoor, well worth a visit!! Such beautiful little touches,we wish we could have stayed longer, it was so well equipped, the kitchen had everything I looked for and the bed was so comfortable, you really didn't have any trouble falling asleep after a day exploring the area. We would highly recommend this cottage, ideal for two people and our dog Ernie. I loved the candles! One night we had dinner by candlelight, it felt like we had gone back in time and so charming! Another hit Classic cottages, you never disappoint us. Thank you....

We would highly recommend the cottage to anyone that wants to retreat away from the hustle and bustle of life outside, and go into the calm and serenity of this wonderful hideaway. This is the most wonderful cottage in superb surroundings.
Miss Stewart October 2017
Steve was helpful with anything local we wanted to know. Didn't asked us once if everything was OK about the cottage! The cottage wasn't all that clean. Lack of cooking bowels, utensils, no clean film, foil, kitchen towel. The washing up spong looked old and worn. And no bar of soap to bath with. From the main photo you use, you have the owners cottage in it too. This looks like the whole of the cottage is for holiday let and it's not. ...

Reply from Classic Cottages
Thanks so much for your review, and we're glad that you found the owner helpful. It's very difficult to address any concerns if they're not raised at the time - if nothing was mentioned to the owner in your conversations, he may have mistakenly assumed that all was okay. We were surprised to see the you felt the cleanliness was poor as we've certainly always found the property to be very well presented and clean during the many years we've worked with the owners, but we'll pass on your additional comments for investigation. There are captions below the photos of the cottage that explain it is the left-hand side of the building, but we're sorry if this wasn't clear. Tanya, Customer Support...
