A charming character cottage with a well equipped kitchen in a pretty village with fantastic tearoom that we only tried towards the end of the week and wished we had visited earlier. The garden and river setting was exceptional and it was hard to tear our three children away in the morning as they wanted to paddle for hours.

We enjoyed an absolutely fabulous time at Ball Cottage. The bed was so comfortable. All equipment you could need. The location next to the river was superb with lots of privacy. The village of Winsford was so friendly with a superb Royal Oak Inn and Bridge Cottage tearooms and everyone so friendly. Would highly recommend.

The perfect holiday cottage! Very homely, comfortable and thoughtfully equipped. Practical too with lots of space for boots and coats. Fire lit easily and gave out loads of heat. Amazing to have the river in the garden. It was great to have a village shop.

Had a lovely week in Exmoor, despite all the rain - fantastic autumn colours on the trees. Delightful cottage which is very cosy with a lovely log fire and all amenities needed in the well stocked kitchen. The cottage is in a beautiful location - lovely to walk straight out into the riverside garden and along to the little packhorse bridge at the back. The craft fair in the village hall was an added treat - we've never met such a friendly bunch of stall holders and talented crafts people.

A perfect little cottage, like staying with your Granny. Everything you need is there-we even had a ‘baking day’. We sat by the river in the garden and watched kingfishers flashing by, darting under the picturesque bridges. There are walks from the cottage to Tarr Steps and along the Ex, our son enjoyed the challenging cycling, we enjoyed pootling in Dulverton, and going to Lynmouth via the Barle Valley and Watersmeet. Swimming at Cow Castle was magical. A lovely cottage in a beautiful area, and so quaint and quiet.

We were surprised by the presence of a lovely secluded rear garden with the River Exe flowing through it, a great place to enjoy a BBQ and evening glass of wine. The cottage is located adjacent a quiet country road, so vehicle noise was not an issue. The firmness of the double bed mattress we used, was similar to ours at home so we enjoyed a good nights rest following a number of walks. Al in all a very enjoyable break!
