Charming Exmoor cottage in tranquil setting near mediaeval village of Dunster

Set in the village of Timberscombe, just 3 miles from the vibrant, mediaeval village of Dunster with a wide choice of pubs, restaurants, cafes, gift shops and its romantic castle.
Situated on a quiet, no-through lane (off-road parking for 2 cars) with lovely views and direct access to moorland and forest walks.
Cosy lounge with log-burning fire, seating for four and TV/DVD with digital streaming capability.
Kitchen/diner with range cooker and all mod cons, a handy utility/boot room (please note this is 3 steps down from the kitchen and where the fridge-freezer stands) and a peaceful cottage garden with space to dine alfresco.
Upstairs leads to the bathroom (separate shower and bath) and 2 bedrooms. The pretty front room has a double bed, while the back room can be provided as either a twin room or with a spacious and comfortable zip-and-link superking bed.
Unfortunately, due to rising costs but in particular the expected increase in fuel costs, we have currently had to add a heating fee per night to cover the expected costs of gas and electricity.
