Sheepfold Cottage is a bright and welcoming retreat set in a peaceful spot overlooking the River Barle, just two miles from the charming town of Dulverton. Inside, the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area is full of character, with high ceilings and exposed beams. The lounge has two comfortable sofas – one converting to a sofa bed (please advise on booking if required; guests should bring bedding and towels for extra occupants). A Smart TV/DVD, bookcase with a good selection of reads, and board games create a cosy, homely feel. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, combination microwave, fridge with ice compartment, and washing machine, making it easy to prepare meals during your stay. The double bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with shower over bath and WC, and there is an additional separate WC for convenience. French doors open onto a private enclosed patio with seating, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or evening drink. Just across the parking area is a spacious shared garden with outdoor furniture, a lovely place to relax with views of the surrounding countryside or let dogs stretch their legs. With Exmoor’s famous Dark Skies on the doorstep, this is a wonderful location for stargazing. Local shops and a welcoming pub are just 2.5 miles away. The cottage will accept up to 2 dogs, possibly 3 on request (it would only be suitable for 3 small dogs) for 3 GBP each per night. Please make sure that you do not allow your dogs on the furniture and ensure that you pick up after your dog in the patio area and shared garden.
