Exmoor lodges is set in lovely surroundings. It has plenty of walks straight from the door which our dog enjoyed. Wiveliscombe is around a 5 minutes drive away. Appley cottage was very clean, well equipped, and loved the hot tub. The garden area was fully enclosed so we could relax that our dog couldn’t escape. This is our second time visiting and would come back again.
