Looking towards the village from the far side of the river Barle. A lovely place to just sit and relax.
Pack a picnic and go for an Exmoor walk from Landacre to Simonsbath. Magical moorland wherever you look and a good area to spot Exmoor ponies and red deer.
A stocky Exmoor stallion stands guard over his mare and foal. You could be lucky enough to spot this ancient breed from almost any point of Exmoor.
There are several thousand Red Deer on Exmoor - Britain's largest land mammal - but you've still got to keep your eyes peeled to find one!
Exmoor is magical, whatever the weather. A january frost on the road to Anstey ridge can be as beautiful as a sunny afternoon at Tarr Steps.
The very pretty bridge at Landacre on Exmoor. Always a favourite spot for picnicking and for spotting Exmoor ponies.
The riverside picnic-area is a short stroll from the cottage.

We loved Withypool - fabulous location, great garden, excellent pub and shop/post office. Note that contrary to the details on the website the owners state in the property that dogs are not allowed in the lounge. In normal (not heatwave) conditions the cottage would be fine....

Thanks for your review and we're delighted that you enjoyed lovely Withypool. Just to clarify, the owner asks that any wet dogs remain in the kitchen area (tiled) until they are dry to avoid marking the sitting-room carpet. As with all our cottages, we ask that dogs are not allowed on the furniture or in the bedrooms. Tanya, Customer Support...

A delightful cottage in a wonderful village and area. Oliver's Cottage is cosy and well equipped with a well kept enclosed garden ideal for dog owners or persons just wishing to relax in the outside. The welcoming pub is 50 yards down the road and the village shop and tea rooms another 100 yards just before the river and bridge. Try the home made cakes in the delightful tea rooms...

Olivers Cottage was everything that we expected, well equiped and comfortable which is located in one of the prettiest villages on Exmoor. The walks from the door take you through fields, valleys and along river paths. The Village Shop, Tea Rooms and Pub are a couple of minutes walk away and are all highly reccomended. We enjoyed it so much, we are booking again for next year!! ...

A lovely cottage in a quiet location in a picture perfect Exmoor village. There's a great pub 2 minutes walk away and a village shop and tea rooms only 5 minutes walk. A perfect location for walking along the river Barle direct from the cottage to Tarr Steps or Landacre Bridge. Also worth mentioning is the well maintained and fully enclosed garden. A great place to stay if you like walking, especially if you have dogs. We throughly enjoyed our 2 week stay at Olivers Cottage and would recommend it to others....
