All about us


I only popped into Trout Cottage to ask for help with something.... one step in the door and I was in love!

A few hours by the river along with some serendipity, life took a magical turn which led to me becoming the owner of this beautiful home. Until I retire, I want to share Trout Cottage with holidaymakers so others can experience this magic!

I have set Trout Cottage up as the holiday home I would want to stay in: to be your home from home

  • Cleanliness and quality is paramount and the cottage is spacious and well equipped

  • The open fire and central heating keeps the cottage snug in the colder months and it's cool enough in the summer not to need air con

  • All our bedding and towels are hotel-standard white, the duvets are clean and warm 

  • We recycle and avoid using plastics where possible

  • We use natural cleaning products and do all we can to reduce our carbon footprint

Your holiday is in safe hands:

  • Changeovers are managed by an experienced housekeeper

  • There is a key safe for you to self check in and out with a code and I leave you undisturbed to enjoy your time here

  • Should a particular need arise, you can phone me directly   

You have sole use of the whole cottage, back yard and the riverside garden on the other side of the road

  • There is a an area for a small car or bikes and kayaks and free street parking across this

  • The kitchen is modern and open-planned, fully equipped with hopefully all the things should you want to cook 

  • The games room has a 5 foot pool table, there's ping pong, an old PlayStation 3 with games, board games, jig saws and books

  • Though mobile reception is still a bit patchy in Dulverton, the cottage has free wifi and a landline so you'll be able to keep in touch with the outside world if you want

I hope your enjoyment inside the cottage is equal to the wonders you'll find outside!
After your visit I look forward to hearing all about your stay and very much hope that you will want to return again soon.

Go on ... see if you fall in love too!
