"This is such a great house for a big group (we were eight) as there is so much space."
We weren’t really there long enough to make use of everything, particularly all the board games and the library of books! I found the induction hob a little fiddly although most of the others managed without too much trouble. Personally, I also found the duvet in my room (single beds) too warm in September. But these are minor quibbles and everyone had a really enjoyable long weekend, helped by the local facilities all within walking distance.

"The property was situated in a lovely area."
We found the house to be very clean and had a great deal to occupy the children in our party, with table tennis, table football and other activities available. The large living areas provided opportunity for our group of ten to enjoy various activities, both communally and separately.

"A lovely house, the setting takes some beating with glorious views."
The kitchen is extremely well equipped with every we needed and more.
The front door needs a little TLC as the Yale lock has come loose .
There are some great walks from the house out to several iron age forts which we enjoyed.
Would definitely love to stay here again sometime.

"A wonderful village with all you could ask for and more."
The house was huge and the beds were all very comfortable. We enjoyed some great walks in the doorstep and took a drive to the beach one day. The local water sports (15min drive) we’re amazing - such friendly staff. The kids loved the table tennis, and we all loved sitting out front enjoying the views. We saw an array of wildlife including a fleeting glimpse of a red deer in the top garden. The open outlook was perfect for some stargazing, taking advantage of the dark skies area. Highly recommended.

"Beautiful house, very nicely decorated and equipped."
Beds were all very comfortable, only slight problem was the lack of a functioning sun umbrella, and as the week we stayed was a particularly hot week, it was purely by luck that one of our party was coming a day later, so was asked to bring sun umbrellas from home, which we really needed. Otherwise we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend The Mount…..stunning views.

"We had the most amazing long weekend at The Mount at the end of April for an early celebration of Mum’s 80th birthday."
The age range of our group of nine was from 5 to 91 and the house perfectly suited all our needs. It is beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly want, and more board games and books than I have ever seen outside of Waterstones! It is a magical place, a house in which you can’t help but make happy memories. None of us wanted to leave (there were tears!) and all of us want to return.
Thank-you for creating such a special place x

"The owners of the mount have done a fantastic job a creating a wonderful holiday let."
The pictures don’t do it justice for how spacious it is for a property that sleeps 10.
The amount there is to do just staying around the house in terms of games and puzzles almost makes it a shame to go out.
The house is immaculate and the information provided to help settle in is informative. I’d fully recommend The Mount and wouldn’t hesitate staying there again if visiting the area.

You don’t need to go anywhere else as the shops cater for all you need & there are walks starting from near the house. But there is also lots of lovely places nearby to visit too.

"Apart from it being a very rainy week when we stayed at the Mount, we all thoroughly enjoyed staying there."
There were the games rooms in the basement, and huge amounts of toys, books and puzzles to keep all ages occupied whilst in the house. The views over Dulverton were wonderful and it only took a few minutes drive to get to the moors and experience the great scenery. There were nine of us staying in the house and it was large enough to get lost in, or have a quiet moment in one of the many rooms, certainly no feelings of overcrowding! Everything within the house had been very well thought out by the owners to make it comfortable.

"We were a mixed party of three generations."
All our day to day needs were amply catered for in this house. Some days we just stayed at "home" because it was so nice. The view from the front of the house overlooking Dulverton and the surrounding hills is beautiful. We were very lucky with the weather so every morning the front door was thrown open and we breakfasted on the front patio taking in the scenery.
The Anchor at nearby Exebridge deserves a mention. Situated right by the river it allows the children to play in the water while the adults relax and the food is good too.

We were 10 adults, which the house caters for, but 2 of the single beds were definitely for children, with towels to match. These beds weren’t comfortable for adults and need to be upgraded. The towels should also be adult size, when catering for adults only. Otherwise the house is beautiful and so tastefully renovated with a glorious setting...even with the weather we had! Stunning!

"The house was perfect for our group of six adults with plenty of room to relax away from the group while reading a book from the extensive library or sitting in the garden, as well as great community areas for getting together."
The view across the village is beautiful. We had a couple of great evenings around the fire pit cooking sausages and marshmallows. Nearby Dulverton is a beautifully quaint village with friendly people in the local shops. The local restaurants are good and worth a visit on the nights you don’t want to cook. A small warning, the walk up to the house is pretty steep so if you’re used to flat ground it’s a shock to the system but you do get used to it after the first couple of goes. The basement rooms were great for video gaming and the sound doesn’t bleed through too much to the ground floor rooms and not at all to the upstairs rooms (if you have night owls in your group) . Minehead has great beaches, it will take at least 30mins to get there contrary to the sat navs opinion of 20mins this is because cars drive generally slower on the bendy roads (they actually should on these, so just relax and enjoy the views). All in all we had a perfect week and would recommend this house to anyone.

Great views. Kids had a lovely time jusy playing in the house as weather was very rainy. There is garden (but steep drops so need to watch young kids playing) and a play park a few mins walk from house too.
It was no problem for us but as it says in the description be aware that there is a very steep road to house. House recently renovated so nice modern kichen and bathrooms. Some furniture is a bit tired but is in keeping with house style and did not affect our enjoyment of the house and holiday.
Owners very lovely and helpful.
