A riverside holiday let to remember

This is a period cottage superbly modernised in a stunning location with uninterrupted views of the river to the front and Exmoor National Park to the back yet just a five minute pretty walk to the vibrant market town of Dulverton.

Trout Cottage was formerly two cottages, the oldest dating from 1850 and gets its name from the trout that swim in the front garden at the head of the cascading weir where the River Barle meets with the gentle waters of the mill stream leat.

The three bedroom accommodation is spacious and open plan, stylish and well equipped. The versatile layout of the cottage with a twin or king size option and a separate dining room which is also a games room and dog hotel makes it an ideal holiday let for couples, families, singles and friends.... as well as being heaven for dogs!

  • For romantics who want to walk back from an Exmoor pub, be amazed by stars in a dark sky and snuggle in front of a log fire

  • For adventurers who fancy exploring Exmoor’s landmarks, discover its unspoilt beaches and enjoy a full range of activities from fishing and kayaking, to horse riding and red deer safaris

  • For seekers of peace who want to park up the car, enjoy cottage life, unwind and recharge

  • There is lots to see and do or just enjoy doing nothing in a cosy cottage immersed by beauty and the hypnotic burbling of the river.

"Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage"

Thomas Kincade

Across the single lane road, look out at the river from the patio or down a few steps there is a riverside garden for you to sit and enjoy

  • Maybe see a kingfisher swoop as you breakfast or a meteor shower as you barbecue

  • Right in front of the cottage there is free street parking and an outdoor space to store bikes and kayaks

  • There are stunning circular walks in every direction and landmarks, activities, beaches and the motorway all within half an hour’s drive

The vibrant dog-welcoming town of Dulverton is a five minute stroll along the millstream with independent shops, eateries and award winning pubs. There is a strong sense of community with a farmer’s market and various festivals throughout the year. No wonder it appears in the Sunday Times 2018 list of best places to live.

Exmoor is a beautiful, accessible and often overlooked part of the country. Whether you’re visiting Snowdrop Valley in early spring, wild swimming or exploring beaches in the summer, walking though ancient woodlands followed by a cream tea, stargazing by the campfire in autumn, going back in time on the steam train to Dunster or experiencing twinkling Dulverton by Starlight in December, this is an all year round destination that offers something for everyone whatever the weather.
