Beautiful cottage in a beautiful part of the country
I recently stayed at the Pavk Horse for four nights.
Upon arrival, the property looks stunning, set right beside an ancient footbridge over a pretty little stream.
Inside the property is just as impressive as the outside and is all finished to a high quality. The lounge has ample room with 2 comfortable sofas and a dining table with a large smart YV. The lounge also has access to the balcony. The balcony overlooks the bridge and stream and is a great place to have breakfast or just sit and watch the world go by as the sun goes down.
The bedrooms are both a fair size with big double beds, ample storage and large TVs. The bed I used was very comfortable and I had no problem sleeping all the time I was there.
There is also a well finished bathroom with a shower and a small kitchen with all the amenities you could need for your stay.
Wifi was accessible throughout the property and I had no problems connecting and it was easily good enough to stream netflix, etc.
There's ample parking on site, but I have to say it felt a bit tight getting under the building to it at first.
The hosts, Paul and Will were really friendly and approachable. When I arrived I was greeted by Paul and he showed me round the property and explained how everything worked. Paul also told me about the village and local area, where to eat, shop, etc.
Exmoor itself is a lovely part of the country with some amazing countryside and little towns. I'd happily stay at the Pack Horse again.

Amazing Views, lovely property
This property is very comfortable and attractive. It was well maintained, very clean and accommodated 5 people easily with 2 large comfortable sofas, and plenty of seating and equipment for dining. The beds were extremely comfortable and we slept much better than usual which was also due to the tinkly sound of the stream outside the bedroom window. The location and views are to die for and we felt very lucky to have found it. It was also a bonus not to have to drive down miles of single track roads, as it was very easy to get to.

Great Weekend Family And Friends
Very friendly welcome, the apartment was warm and cosy as the weather was cold, we cook in most nights with a very well equipped kitchen. The owner was very helpful, I would stay again at The Pack Horse.

Wonderful location!
We had a lovely time in Bridge View cottage - very clean, warm and welcoming. Beautiful views across the valley and added bonus of hearing the stream gurgling past the cottage at night.
