Bracken Cottage

October 2023 Repeat Guest

Previously stayed here & always enjoyed the location, peace & quiet & everything to be honest !

September 2023

Thank you for providing such a lovely place to stay – Perfect for exploring beautiful Exmoor.

September 2023

Comfortable bed! The location is perfect to explore Exmoor and the beauty of the valley all around.

July 2023

Second time – Delightful place and lovely surroundings. Weather to go with it too.

June 2023

Perfect little stay for us & our 9 month old. Loved the pool and booking system so you knew you’d have it by yourselves, Ruth & Becky were truly lovely & helped us and were understanding when things didn’t go to plan. Great hosts. We will be back with our new bundle next year as a family of 4, thank you.

May 2023

We had to come back to such a lovely cottage in a great location. Plus excellent weather!! Thank you again Ruth and team!

October 2022

Very comfortable cottage. We’ve had a lovely relaxing break in beautiful surrounding.

September 2022

Lovely, comfy & relaxing few dats. Everything here you need. Will definitely be back!

September 2022

Lovely location, great for exploring Exmoor from. Cottage is comfortable and has everything we needed.

July 2022

Magical location with great views of the surrounding hills. Very quiet – not even planes overhead – the only occasional sound we heard is of wildlife, a sheep in the distance or bees in the garden. The cottage is great for two people, nestled in the hills with a few other farm cottages around it. Recommend just sitting out the back on the well mown grass behind the cottages. Easy access onto Exmoor nearby and West Somerset Coast. Happy to go back there.

September 2021

Wonderful place to stay and in such a beautiful location in Exmoor. Our cottage was very comfortable with 4 separate rooms all beautifully furnished. The cooking facilities were really good too. We stayed in Bracken Cottage which is one in a group of several. The garden was landscaped with a BBQ area and benches. The property also contains an indoor swimming pool which was an added bonus. A very peaceful, relaxing holiday and within easy reach of many beautiful places throughout Exmoor.

August 2021

Brilliant find. Quiet Farm surrounded by greenery. Exactly what we needed considering we live in a busy city centre. Clean and tidy. Easy check in and out. Lovely hosts that greet you and leave you to it. Everything you need even a hairdryer, iron, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. Blissful scenery. Big beautiful garden. Pool was great – slots were easy to book. By car – Dunster + castle about 20 mins away, Minehead + beach about 25 mins away. Lynton & Lynmouth was absolutely stunning to visit about 40 mins away. You need a car to stay here. Well worth it for a getaway, 3 nights wasn’t enough! Thank you and hope to stay again one day.

October 2020

Bracken Cottage is a well equipped and comfortable cottage and we really enjoyed being able to use the swimming pool. The Covid-19 precautions being taken at the farm were a primary reason for choosing this cottage. The farm is right on the edge of Exmoor and there are good walks available, although a bit bracing in October. There are a lot of things to do in the local area. The National Trust properties of Knightshayes and Dunster Castle are well worth a visit, as is the Periwinkle tea room in the NT village of Selworthy. The food at The Rest and Be Thankful inn 1 mile up the road in Wheddon Cross was very good. The cottage was great and the swimming pool a treat. Thank you very much for an enjoyable stay.

August 2020

Lovely spot for a Somerset getaway. In the heart of Exmoor with great links to the coast and North Devon. Cottage is spotlessly clean and well equipped. Becky was a dream to deal with – very polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Coachmans Cottage

September 2023

We liked the idea of staying on a farm & being early birds, we like self catering as no restrictions on when we can eat breakfast!

June 2023

A lovely spacious cottage, a fantastic place to stay. First time to Exmoor, we really enjoyed: Tarr steps; the Coaster bus  – Minehead to Lynmouth; Valley of the rocks, Lynton; Lynmouth to Watersmeet walk’ Glen Lyn Gorge. We had lovely weather too. Would love to come again

Oct 2022 – Repeat Guest

Once again we had a wonderful peaceful week full of walks and relaxation. We will be back!

September 2022

Thanks for a lovely stay at Triscombe Farm. Lots of nice walks, tearooms at Withypool and Sunday Carvery at Rest and be Thankful, welcome refreshments at the end of Withypool hill/Dunkery Beacon walks

August 2021

It provides a great base to explore Exmoor. The site also has an excellent swimming pool, bookable once on site. The hosts were friendly and welcoming.

Primrose Cottage

August 2022

Absolutely stunning!! Cosy cottages, very clean, well equipped, with a great welcome package. Set in a stunning remote location, while sat in the communal gardens its peaceful, tranquil, with beautiful views. Pool was fantastic, the booking system ensures all guests have their own private time in the pool. Local areas were of outstanding beauty, Dunster is a pretty location with ample quirky shops, tea rooms, pubs, Tessa’s tea rooms for a great lunch stop, and Luttrell arms well worth a visit, the secret garden with views of Dunster Castle was stunning. Dunster beach, quiet & pretty. Porlock… stunning!! Lynton/Lynmouth well worth a visit. The drive back to the cottages is stunning, a great location for visiting places, but also just to spend time in the communal gardens & enjoy some beautiful quiet time. We have never returned to the same location for a break away, as we feel the world is to big to not explore as much as we can. However we will definitely be returning here!! This is an absolute gem! Ruth & Becky were very friendly, I just can’t wait to return!

December 2020

It’s a cute, cosy cottage. Perfect for a getaway. Located in North Devon, the scenery is beautiful. The facilities of the place were amazing, the swimming pool was heated, so it was very comfortable. overall a very comfortable stay.

October 2020

I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of Exmoor. You will be in the middle of the nature, in a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. I would love to go back. It has been a fantastic time in the area, staying at your place has definitely helped to make it even more special, thank you.

Juniper Cottage

September 2023

Such a pretty & perfect base to explore Exmoor. Thank you Ruth for your hospitality, would definitely stay again. The welcome pack was much appreciated too, thank you.

September 2023

Juniper is all on one floor, ideal because my wife has walking problems. Great location, peaceful & relaxing.

August 2022

We literally booked 2 days before we got there – a very last minute trip. We had a two person property which had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The welcome bundle of fudge and local jam was a nice touch!

Beautifully located for exploring Exmoor and the coast but a car/bicycle is needed as the farm is quite remote. However, the setting was stunning and incredibly peaceful.

There is a swimming pool that we could book a ‘slot’ to use (very simple on an app) and this was fab as we were able to enjoy a morning dip with the pool to ourselves. There were other guests staying but everyone appeared to respect the peace and quiet that was on offer so our visit was really tranquil.

August 2022

Excellent 5 day stay here. Fantastic location to explore Exmoor and the coast. Cottages are spacious and have everything you need to be comfortable. Pool was a bonus and Ruth and Becky were lovely hosts. Would recommend to anyone.

Sept 2021

Triscombe Cottages are in a very private location and they are very well placed for exploring the best of Exmoor. The grounds around the farmhouse and cottages are very well kept and the pool is an added bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will hope to return sometime.

August 2020

Lovely cottage in the heart of the countryside. Such a stunning location with great facilities (especially the pool!). Was very impressed with the Covid-19 precautions put in place, that made us feel very safe. Thank you for making us feel safe with all the Covid precautions, it’s something we were worried about but was put right at ease with all that you did. Will definitely recommend to others! Thank you for such a lovely stay Ruth and Becky.

Fern Cottage

April 2023 

Triscombe Farm is lovely and in a beautiful peaceful location – hosts were super helpful – we had a great time, thanks!

February 2023

We’ve had a lovely, refreshing stay with you. We loved relaxing in the pool after a day out walking on Exmoor. Enjoyed the South West Coast Path and Snowdrop Valley. Thank you for your kindness in accommodating us so flexibly

October 2022

Lovely cottage kindly rearranged by Ruth at the last minute so we could bring the children with us. They loved the pool and wanted to stay longer. Hope to see you again.

October 2022

We had a lovely few days as a last minute break. Triscombe had everything we needed, the games for our boys were a great distraction! We had a great time exploring the area and have seen wild ponies, seals, dolphins and an owl! Will definitely come back 🙂

July 2022

Really enjoyed our stay, lovely location. Nice comfortable Cottages, with everything we needed for our stay. Great for a break away with kids. Nice touch with the welcome pack on arrival. The pool was great fun. Ruth was a great host. Would recommend Triscombe Cottages as a nice break away for anyone. It was nice and rural which is why we chose it, exactly what we needed. Thank you.

June 2022

We loved our stay at Fern Cottage. The photos don’t do it justice. Spacious, cosy, clean, gorgeous views. The swimming pool and the gardens are fantastic. We really appreciated the kids books and games that were provided in the cottage. Thoroughly recommend.

Dec 2021

Great space for family holiday. Peaceful and rural.Property was clean and spacious. Kitchen well equipped. Swimming pool was a added bonus. Super local pub and well stocked local shop. Very helpful owners. Overall great stay.

Sept 2021

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting within easy reach of Dunster, Minehead and North Devon. Everything was extremely well organised with spacious cottages. Intend to go back sometime. Thank you Ruth and Becky.

August 2021

Ruth and Becky’s place is amazing. It’s in a fantastic location! Nestled away in a beautiful valley you feel cut off from everything. You are only a few minutes drive from a petrol station and a small supermarket which has everything you need and 15 minutes down the road is Wimbleball lake where you can hire kayaks, paddle boards and small sailing boats. You can also take your own craft and just pay for the day. It’s cheap and covers parking and use of the facilities too. From the cottage you can also access the beach in 30 minutes at Minehead and Porlock. If you want surf beaches a bit farther away (1hour or so) is Woolacombe, Croyde and Ilfracombe. However if you want to paddle in beautiful blue waters in a beautiful bay where you can hire paddle boards and kayaks you can go to Combe Martin in 45 minutes from the cottages. The cottages are close to Bristol which is why we chose them as a base to explore Exmoor. The indoor heated pool was such a bonus as our 3 year old is really into swimming and if the sea is too rough or it’s just not a sea swimming day you can always have a swim when you get up in the morning or when you get back from a fun day out. There are lots of farm animals around too which is fun for the kids and other games and activities too. We came with two young children and can’t recommend it enough. I would also definitely recommend the cottages to couples too as it’s a great base from which to explore the area and they are nice and cosy to hang out in in the evenings. Ruth and Becky were also very welcoming and very helpful during our stay. We will definitely be returning.

August 2021

What a lovely, clean , quiet cottage in wonderful surroundings! The swimming pool was very close and the children had a great garden to explore… perfect!

May 2021

We had a fantastic stay at Fern cottage. Lovely tranquil setting, and great digital detox. The pool was prefect, great for kids with a shallow end. Great location with a short drive to the beach and lots of local attractions.

April 2021

I would definitely recommend, this is a lovely cottage in a good location. The swimming pool was great fun & the pool booking system works really well. The gardens are lovely and BBQ areas have plenty of space for all.

September 2020

We had a lovely stay and would recommend. Hosts were lovely and very accomodating, Becky was especially lovely with the children which made their stay extra special. We were initailly a little aprehensive about going away but could tell that the hosts had taken measures to ensure their guest felt safe and secure in respect of coronavirus. The location was great to explore Exmoor.

Garden Cottage

July 2022

This was the second time we stayed at Triscombe Farm. We really enjoyed the peaceful location and swimming daily in the indoor pool. It was also great to go for beautiful nature walks and to visit historic towns and beaches, all of which are close-by. The farm and Exmoor area are certainly a nice place to visit for a family.

August 2020

A perfect setting, well kitted-out cottage and responsive and flexible hosts. The cottage was immaculate, as was the pool. The grounds are beautiful and the location feels off the beaten track but you have easy access to Dunster and Dulverton. Wonderful.

Orchard Cottage

August 2023 Repeat Guest

We have been many times before & we love it here. The beautiful cottage, the peace & quiet and the wonderful location.

September 2022

Lovely spacious 2 bed cottage, end of terrace. Beautiful location and quiet. Fabulous indoor heated pool. 20min drive to some lovely villages like Dunster and Dulverton. 5min drive to a lovely pub serving a delicious Sunday Roast… Would definitely return!

August 2022

Brilliant stay! Here for a whole week, and loved it. Great base for Somerset and North Devon. Cottage was clean, well cared for, pool was fab, grounds were beautiful. Loved it. Thank you Ruth and Becky

April 2021

We had a lovely stay and the cottage location was perfect for us. It was a chance for the kids to see their cousins outside at a distance and the garden space outside the cottages was perfect for this during Covid 19. We really appreciated the little touches, like the games table and the welcome gifts, that was a lovely gesture and much appreciated by the kids. We love the pool area and it was so lovely to finally swim as a family. Thank you.

October 2020

Our stay was fantastic. Accommodation was spotless and hosts were really friendly. The location is great for those wanting to get away from it all but close enough to things to do as a family, the pool was a great feature and kids had fun playing in there as it was lovely and warm. Would definitely recommend to others.

July 2020

The cottages are just wonderful, and I thought we were left to do what we wanted without intrusion, but knew there was some one there if we needed something, so thank you. We all had a fabulous holiday and a great escape from the otherwise hectic lives we have at home!

We totally appreciated the thought that has gone into helping guests make their stay so enjoyable, so a massive thanks for that! It really felt that we were back to a new normal, with absolute confidence that we were safe. Thanks for such a lovely holiday!

Stream Cottage

September 2023

We had a lovely week of walking on Exmoor and enjoyed the peaceful setting of the cottage and a glass of wine in the beautiful gardens.

August 2023

We like self catering & the pool was a bonus. We particularly liked the views, wildlife and the amazing grounds.

June 2023

Nice stay. Loved the pool and Grandson improved his swimming skills. very peaceful location, Thanks xxxx

May 2023

We loved Stream Cottage. It was spotlessly clean on arrival. The shared garden that was beside the property was lovely. We ate breakfast and dinner in the garden using the BBQ space too. The swimming pool was a great bonus. Ruth and Becky communicated very well with us. We had a fabulous break and intend to return sometime with our grandchildren.

April 2023

Lovely stay over Easter weekend. Plenty of swimming, some tennis. Spotted a deer above the tennis court. Local village pub good for carvery & a pint of Best. Visit to Doniford, Minehead & Archery at Wimbleball Lake, Thank you.

October 2022

Enjoyed our stay with our granddaughter. The use of the pool was a bonus. The lounge log stove keeps is cosy in Autumn. “Loved this place loads!”

August 2022

Thank you! A beautiful tranquil stay. We love Stream Cottage, so cosy! We all had great fun in the pool! And playing all the board games, lots of memories made! Enjoyed our cat visitor, we named him Socks! Visit to Horner was lovely, walking in the streams 🙂

July 2022

Amazing cottage for a quiet and peaceful get away. Pool is big and the temperature of water is warm, beds are as comfortable as clouds, massive garden with a bbq area and most importantly nature all around with not a single sound of cars coming by. I would 100% recommend for anyone who wants to get away from a busy city.

Rose Cottage

August 2022

Cute, hamlet-style collection of cottages nestled in a pretty valley – in a good location for exploring the surrounding countryside. Spacious accommodation and fully stocked with everything you need. Great value, considering you get a swimming pool and a tennis court to use.

February 2022

Clean and had everything we needed. Books and games were a fab extra for the kids. We enjoyed using the pool which was very clean and organised with a booking system. Minehead was close by which was handy when visiting the arcades and sea front. Thank you for having us. We will be telling all of our friends and family about the cottages 🙂

Jan 2022 

Wonderful hosts – very understanding and accommodating (we felt extremely welcome). The house was nice with original features and a lovely wood burning stove. Lovely location.

August 2021

I stayed in the Rose cottage with my family. There were 6 of us with kids ranging from 8-16, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage was lovely, just as described, and is set in a beautiful & peaceful location. It was very easy to book the pool & it was great to get it to ourselves. We were out and about a lot during the day. There are lovely towns locally, the kids particularly liked Dunster Castle. We also went Woolacombe beach, which was an hours drive, but it is stunning & worth the trip. We would absolutely recommend a stay at Triscombe Cottages.

April 2021

Lovely place to stay. We all enjoyed the tranquility of the farm – many thanks!

September 2020:

Our cottage was lovely and clean and very welcoming. We love it here and look forward to returning again in the future.

Whortleberry Cottage 

October 2023

Pool, setting, good offer made it affordable. We loved the swimming pool, landscape & cosy, warm beds ! Lovely sofas!

August 2022

The cottage was lovely and the area so peaceful and idyllic. We were unsure at first about the pool booking system, however, it turned out that having time to ourselves in there was perfect without other holiday makers. The layout of the cottages meant we hardly saw other residents which suited us perfectly. The setting is beautiful and the locals friendly, we even visited the village fete while we were there – and especially enjoyed the dog show. This really is the perfect holiday to get away from it all in the countryside. We even made friends with a chicken who decided to visit our cottage one day! We hope to visit again.  

June 2021

Great cottage in a lovely location in the middle of Exmoor. Very clean and felt very COVID secure in the current climate. Great size swimming pool for the children to swim and burn off some steam! Beautiful gardens too. Can also recommend the Sunday Roast at the nearest pub The Rest and be Thankful in Weddon Cross!!

October 2020

Lovely rural location close to many interesting areas. Great base to explore from. Very organised hosts and accommodation in light of Covid restrictions. Exceeded our expectations. We loved staying at Triscombe, many thanks.

October 2020

A wonderful hidden cottage, in an a beautiful and peaceful setting. Ruth, Becky and the team were very welcoming and helpful if we needed anything. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.
