Lovely warm cottage that is private and quiet. The garden is very dog friendly and escape proof. This is our second visit to Stag Cottage this year and we have had a lovely break both times. The cottage is perfectly situated for walks on Exmoor but also not too far away from the coast. The owners are friendly and accommodating.
