Hoglets

• "A real gem of a cottage barn conversion, located just outside the village of Exford with its pubs and shop - the perfect base for exploring Exmoor and West Somerset."

  The attention to detail is five-star from the large extremely well-equipped kitchen complete with big farmhouse table and amazing welcome basket full of local goodies to the cosy living room with its two comfy sofas and log burner (and all logs are free, unlike some cottages where you're charged for extra logs), from the beautiful bathroom to the comfy bed in the master bedroom with comfy pillows, too (sometimes pillows can be rock-hard, but these are lovely and soft). The owner was very friendly and helpful, too, and it is so obvious that she'd put a great deal of thought into transforming Hoglets not only into the ideal base for an Exmoor holiday but adding all those little extra touches such as a good eye for country cottage interior design that make a holiday absolutely perfect. I'll definitely be returning! Thank you.

• "This was the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in."

  From arrival Rebecca was there to welcome us to their beautiful home. Hoglets is a stunning cottage in beautiful surroundings. The cottage is super clean, spacious, fresh and the welcome package including all the extras was very kind. The setting of Hoglets on a farm was brilliant waking up to very friendly goats outside waiting to get some attention or some ponies walking past. Marvin invited my son to let the goats out and take them to the pen, which he loved and he got to feed them all too, including being up close to the little ponies. Overall a stunning property with amazing hosts. It’s definitely on our list to return too!!

  Hoglets is warm, comfortable, spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Much thought has been taken with the property to making your holiday so relaxing and one to remember. Rebecca and Marvin are wonderful hosts, so helpful and friendly yet not intrusive.

Lovely welcome basket of bread, marmalade, eggs, tea, coffee, butter, milk and a jar of Rebecca's delicious home made biscuits. What more could you possibly want. By far the best holiday cottage we have ever been to, we will definitely be visiting again. Very highly recommended. Thankyou so much Rebecca and Marvin.

• "Only two small things were a problem."

  Both my husband and I have spinal issues and we didn’t find the king bed very comfortable. Secondly, as we are older people we found that as the full handrail stopped half way up the stairs, we found the stairs rather difficult But apart from those issues we had a lovely stay. Having the log burner with unlimited fuel was fantastic and the kitchen was perfect. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

  Dear Gail, thank you for your feedback. Firstly, I am so sorry that you did not find the bed very comfortable, thankfully this feedback is in stark contrast to the dozens of reviews saying how comfortable the bed is! perhaps it's a case of 'there's no bed quite like home' especially if you have very specific requirements. Secondly, we have now fitted a full handrail and, given the opportunity, this simple alteration could have been made during your stay to make the stairs less difficult for your both- this was an oversight on our part and we appreciate it being brought to our attention. Best wishes, Rebecca Property Owner

• "Our break at Hoglets was excellent in every respect."

  The property was clean, cosy and well equipped. Its location was perfect for exploring the coast and Exmoor itself. The hosts were perfect, helpful when needed but unobtrusive at other times. The welcome pack of jams,biscuits and other essential items was the best we have ever encountered in our many years of staying in holiday properties. The wood burning stove with a plentiful supply of wood was an added bonus at this time of the year. We would not hesitate to visit this property again in the future.

• "Hoglets is a lovely cottage!"

  We know Exmoor and the area already quite well, and stayed in always very good holiday cottages. Hoglets has been the best we've stayed at so far, and we definitely will come back. Rebecca and Marvin were always there or somehow available in case of any questions. After a week it felt like being neighbours and open for chats and conversation. Still we had our privacy, the backyard with grill and sun but windshielded helped us parents a lot to relax. Our girls (6 & 9) loved the animals and greens and were allowed to walk around freely and could even feed and groom the goats and horses. It was great the girls could have separate rooms, and also the cloak/laundry room with access to separate shower room was quite useful. The cittage was spacious but not too big, so we felt home immediately. Although we went in summer, it was a bit cold in the eveings and mornings in the first week, and it was great the heating worked and we could use the woodburner in the living room (similar to our home). In Exford, a walk of about 10min along the road, are two welcoming pubs, a Café and shops, as well as community greens with playground, and of course great walks to explore the area. Thanks a lot for making us welcome and giving us a much needed wonderful holiday stay.

  The cottage was extremely clean and really well equipped, thank you for the welcome pack, it was great to have a cup of tea when we arrived. Rebecca and Marvin were very friendly and helpful. They have worked really hard in the short time they have been there to create a lovely peaceful place to stay. Their Shetland ponies, goats and sheep are so calm and, with Marvin's permission, we were allowed to go in the paddock with them. It would be lovely to have some pictures of the animals so that families know they have them. Thank you for a lovely week.

  It is a spacious cottage, beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished with everything thoughtfully provided, including homemade biscuits! We slept very well in the big bed and the shower was excellent. We loved sitting outside in the sheltered back garden in the evening and meeting the owners' Shetland ponies. The swallows, swifts and house martins nesting under the eaves were the icing on the cake! The location is good for walking from the door and short trips by car to the lovely coast, local villages, towns and beauty spots. We particularly enjoyed walking from the door to Dunkery Beacon. The owners live next door and are very friendly and helpful. They are knowledgeable about the area and gave us some great tips for places to visit, good walks and nice cafés. Their recommendation of a walk to the pretty villages of Bossington, Allerford and Selworthy with lunch in the café and then back along the ridge with views of the coast was a real highlight. We definitely want to come back to Hoglets and explore more of Exmoor.

Rebecca and Marvin are genuinely lovely people who can't do enough to make your experience perfect and have thought of everything even down to plug adapters and a fantastic welcome pack full of gorgeous, local produce. The log burner is a doddle to light and once fired up you just leave it to make the place feel cosy all night. Being a 10 minute walk into Exford means you have 2 pubs and a coffee shop on your doorstep as well as a shop. The village is literally in the middle of Exmoor giving you immediate access to the moors or a 30 minute drive to the amazing coast. Overall a fabulous stay and the ponies and sheep just added to a very scenic, quiet stay.

The property is outside Exford but an easy walk to/from the village, even at night. The food at the Crown Hotel was especially good. We would love to stay again when the opportunity arises.

  Very clean property. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The welcome pack contained everything you would need for breakfast and/or afternoon tea. Highly recommended.

• "This is the best holiday cottage my husband and I have stayed at, beautiful cottage very tastefully decorated and furnished."

  Very clean and comfortable. Whilst the cottage is listed as a suitable for a family it is perfect for a couple or even 2 couples. The hosts are wonderful and very helpful, the welcome hamper was fab, I refused to share the homemade cookies with my husband as they were so yummy. It was great going into the adjacent meadow at night to lay on a blanket and stargaze this was an added bonus. There are great walks in Exford and I would recommend a visit to Porlock and Watersmeet. All in all a great holiday made by special by the hosts and their wonderful holiday home.

• "Hoglets is a beautiful and unique cottage which we found to be ideally situated to explore the stunning landscape of Exmoor as well as the dramatic coastline of Somerset and North Devon."

  We enjoyed sea kayaking in Combe Martin (the fish and chip shop is worth a visit too!) and Stand Up Paddleboarding at Wimbleball Lake. Coastal excursions included a day in Lynton and Lynmouth with a walk along the dramatic Valley of the Rocks – keep an eye out for the feral goats! We were spoilt for choice with local walks but can recommend Tarr Steps as well as Dunkery Beacon where we were rewarded with views across to South Wales. We’d recommend the tea room in Withypool for a delicious cream tea. It was only a short walk into Exford for a drink on the terrace next to the river at The White Horse pub or to pick up some supplies at the well-stocked village store. Rebecca and Marvin have created a luxurious haven in a peaceful location which is a delight to return to after a day spent exploring the local area – especially when relaxing with a cup of Exmoor tea and a shortbread biscuit from the welcome hamper. We were lucky enough to use the telescope in the paddock one evening and our children were thrilled to be able to see the surface of the moon. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

  Hoglets holiday home is stunning, they have thought of every little touch to make it a luxury hideaway. It is an easy walk into the village where there is a couple of great pubs and a village store. Thank you for such a wonderful holiday.
