The Mouse House is beautifully presented and in an absolutely stunning location, with a large garden and unspoilt views for miles.
Inside, the cottage has an open plan ground floor with a single bedroom and shower-room at the far end too. There is one step down into the kitchen/living-room.
The kitchen is built around two walls, and there is plenty of room for the dining-table.
Another view of the main bedroom with its king-size bed.
This is your own private entrance to The Mouse House - the view says it all!
The summer-house is the perfect place to sit with a glass of wine watching the deer come out to graze across the valley.
You will have all that you need for a really relaxing stay here.
Guests are made to feel at home as soon as they arrive.
The living-area has a two-seater sofa, as well as a lovely deep armchair.
Up on the first floor the stairs open out into the dual-aspect main bedroom - more fabulous views from your bed.
The views will take your breath away, whatever the weather.
This is the en suite bathroom on the first floor.
You can see the summerhouse overlooking the valley from the bedroom window.
There's flexibility for two guests, as there is also a single bedroom on the ground floor.
Next to the single bedroom is a wet-room.
The Mouse House is an absolutely perfect retreat!
The sunny hilltop setting is wonderful for eating al fresco, in complete privacy and with a panaramic countryside view in front of you.
This place is all that a 'break away from it all' is about.
Sitting in the summer-house and watching the deer grazing in early morning/evening, has to be a high point of a stay here.
This view is taken from the owners' garden, but shows you the location of the summer-house in relation to The Mouse House.

Another vantage point in your garden.
The setting is in the Devon foothills, close to the Exmoor National Park.
The pathway from your parking-area to the cottage, gives you the perfect taste of this special setting.
The River Exe is at the bottom of the steep valley.
Lyme Regis just over the border into Dorset is a wonderful place for a full day out. It usually takes about an hour to get here from the cottage.
The Exmoor National Park is even closer, approximately a 15 minute drive
The rugged north Devon coast is also just under an hour's drive. For a sandy beach try Instow.
You can be at the east Devon Jurassic coast in just under an hour. This is Sidmouth.

A clean and cozy oasis. It was a perfect place for our week away. We didn't quite realise how remote it was which was perfect for us but something to be aware of.
Mr Taylor July 2021
What a wonderful location. Tranquil, beautiful scenery, abundant bird life and occasional glimpses of deer in adjoining fields. The Mouse House is wonderfully welcoming as are the hosts, Jon and Rose (and Hamish, their lovely dog). The weather was unkind but it didn’t matter as we found the Mouse House an excellent base for visiting many parts of Devon and even Cornwall. Thoroughly recommended....

Another super stay at Mouse House.

We would highly recommend this accommodation - it was beautifully presented with stunning views

This is a property not to be missed! We have travelled frequently around the world staying in stunning accommodations and The Mouse House now sits in our "top ten" self-catering properties. After booking on-line, the cottage easily lived up to our expectations. It is immaculately furnished, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable for a couple. The location is outstanding, with views over rolling countryside where you can watch red deer herds in the fields and enjoy many garden birds, or generally chill out. The separate summerhouse, set in the colourful garden, is solely for the use of guests to sit and drink-in the surroundings through the large picture window. The only sound that may wake you in the morning is the birdsong and possibly a visit from Hamish, the gorgeous black lab! The owners Jon and Rose made us feel very welcome and could not have been more charming hosts. Without hesitation, we would recommend a stay at The Mouse House to our friends and will certainly return for another few days of rest, relaxation and tranquility!...
