    We were the only couple there so Parking at the premises wasn't a problem but could be if all rooms occupied. There is a public car park in the village 5 mins walk away if required or parking on the road outside which could be hazardless if tractors etc came by

    Our wonderful host made us most welcome into her home and having lived in the area all her life was a mine of information for places to walk or visit. Our room was clean, comfortable and more than adequate for us to have as our base. Breakfast had a very good selection and of such portions that only a beverage and a cake or similar was required during our days out. There was no pressure on us leaving the premises each day or returning.

    Charming small cottage, excellent for short stays, particularly for walkers.

    • Stayed 2 nights

    Edgcott Cottage is a small cottage/house, so there was no sitting area, separate from the dining area. So if it had been very wet during the day, there was limited space for relaxing indoors apart from in the bedrooms. This didnt matter to us, were out all day, but might have been an issue for a guests forced indoors due to bad weather. (The cottage sleeps five). However, part of its charms was its lovely old cottagy feel and beautiful front cottage garden. The stair case up to the bedrooms was very steep, so a warning note for guests not good on steep stairs might be useful. There was a stout handrail though.

    Very extensive coooked breakfast, plus cereal, variety of fruit, home made bread toast, home made jam, everything we could have wanted. Lovely comfy beds, clean room with tea coffee facilities. Small TV in bedroom. Small very clean bathroom shared with the second bedroom occupant, with lovely big bath and good hot water, as well as a shower. Extremely friendly host lady, lent us a walking guide book and recommended local eatery for evening meal. She and her family are very long time residents in the village, so knew the area extremely well to give good advice on walking routes.

    Location in the hear of Exmoor - is a fine attribute, again represented by superb hosts and the 4 nights spent courtesy of their hospitality is one of the most fulfilling in-country vacations my family have enjoyed in recent times. We walked and undertook running on the moor, enjoyed mountain biking, surfing and horse riding. A Denton Pentathlon and why not with all the fabulous and natural facilities at ones disposal. We even found the Stag Hound Hunt and felt very much part of the scene, observing this marvellous tradition, the good that this hunt actually do and enjoying the sights of fantastic Olympic standard thoroughbred horses, the fascinating hounds, fanfare and much more. We will return. The Denton’s - Bickley Kent. (Please publish these comments for public inspection)

    Escott Cottage B@B is more or less an exclusive facility as the owners only permit 2 of their amazing rooms to be booked so any guest receives maximum attention, a warm welcome, extremely comfortable facilities, a breakfast made to order, a charming location and superb hosts that are experts on the area, what to do, where to go, what to find and much more. They even own a charming and fun dog called Tommy, a source of entertainment for all. Joan and her husband are pillars of the community, well regarded, farmers and farm engineers so guests feel attached to what is going on.

    The cottage is very charming, super clean, and the host (Joan) is a very nice and helpful lady. We came with my partner and a couple of friends and all enjoyed our stay. My friends have been able to work remotely from the cottage one of the days. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to explore Exmoor.

    This is a lovely place to stay, just a short walk to village centre were you can enjoy 2 pubs/restaurants and a tea rooms, there is also a small shop, Jo the owner is a lovely lady and can't do enough to give you a pleasant stay, I had asked for veggie breakfast and she had even got veggie sausages to make the fried breakfast which was great. She has a wonderful knowledge of the local area as she has lived there all her life, so if you need info on places to visit just ask.
