Welcome to Little Folly, a delightful cottage in the heart of Exmoor’s national park. Refurbished in late 2021, Little Folly provides the perfect escape for two couples or a family looking to get away from it all and head back to nature for a while. On the ground floor you have an open plan lounge/diner/kitchen area with a stunning bay window enjoying amazing views over the garden to the hills beyond. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal that you can enjoy at the table, while the lounge area has comfortable seating to relax after a day on the moors.

On this level you will also find the main bedroom featuring a super kingsize zip and link bed (which can be made into two singles on request).
Outside you have plenty of parking, and your garden is the perfect place to relax and let your family unwind, and from the doorstep there are miles of walks over the moor. Just a mile down the hill is the village of Winsford with its local pub, or hop in the car and explore the myriad of quaint rural villages dotted around, with tea rooms and country inns that have some of the best views! The beaches of Minehead, Dunster and Blue Anchor are within easy reach and always make for a fun day out. Jump on the West Somerset Steam Railway and chug merrily through the beautiful Somerset countryside. Dulverton is just a 10 minute drive with its shops and supermarket.
The owners have received an Exmoor National Park Dark Sky Friendly business award. This is very exciting as Astro tourism is a growing component of the tourist industry. Our towns and cities create so much light pollution that most people in the UK cannot appreciate the moon, let alone the stars and planets. Exmoor, along with other remote areas of the UK run events to promote the night sky. The garden is ideal for viewing the night sky and there are two sets of Astro binoculars for guests to enjoy the starry sky. Blankets, baked potatoes and a hot drink can also be provided on request.
Free WiFi

Beautiful accommodation which overlooks the moor. Very quiet and peaceful area and well located for all sorts of outdoor activities, with the local village being about a mile away. The owners, Frances and Mike, were fabulous who were on hand to help with any queries we had, without being intrusive. There were lovely little touches; cut flowers, a packet of Exmoor tea, local jam, a homemade cake, milk and eggs (when the girls were laying) & lots of shower and shampoo products etc. The accommodation was very clean and tidy and everything worked. The whole holiday experience was perfect and thoroughly enjoyable.
