The Oak Stall is tucked away off the road, in a lovely quiet spot. We were comfortable beyond expectations. It is in a good spot as, although you have to drive, you can access many different parts of Devon, including Exmoor NP. Lovely cottage to stay in.

Made very welcome.
Made very welcome. Cake and a bottle of wine on arrival. Dog biscuits and a dog towel. A hosepipe to hose the dog down. They sorted anything out for you. Will be going back in the future.
The only thing is no coat hooks to hang coats. No real issue.

Fantastic cottage in very peaceful location.
Fantastic cottage in very peaceful location. Beautifully styled and very comfortable. it is very well appointed with everything you might need. Lindsey and Johnny, the proprietors are lovely - very welcoming and helpful with suggestions of places to eat and visit.
There is a small village with shops about 5-10 mins to the south. Nearest good sized town (South Molton) is 15-20 mins to the north. There are a number of very good pubs for food within 15-20 mins drive. It really is quite remote but the upside is it's virtually silent there and there's not many places left like that!
So only downside for some people might be how far you need to drive to visit places. It is approx 50 mins from North Devon coast and Exmoor. Also 50 mins from Exeter. But don't let that put you off. It's actually very well placed to be able to get to both North and South Devon so you can get in a bit of everything. It's actually nice to be able to visit the busier coastal towns and beaches then come back to compete peace and quiet. 100% recommend!

Wonderful cottage, had everything we could've wanted, even with having 1 hear old with us.
Wonderful cottage, had everything we could've wanted, even with having 1 hear old with us. Views are superb and the lake is fabulous, little one loved feeding the fish there every day.
Owners are also wonderful, very accomodating, approachae, happy to help and always said Hi when passing. Perfect base for different seaside visits making you not limited to one place. But would also be perfect if you wanted to just get away from it all and chill out. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back in the winter months to try the log fire pit too ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ thank you for such a wonderful stay ??
