Monthly Rentals in Higher Combe

Thanks for a wonderful stay in your cosy cottage Jane. Everything was as described and we were able to enjoy sitting in the beautiful cottage garden in the sunshine as we’d hoped. Had a great meal at Woods and a fabulous walk at Tarr Steps with our grandchildren. A great stay thank you x

Shircombe Lodge was a perfect spot to enjoy the countryside and ten minutes drive to our family in Winsford. The scenery is stunning and the lodge very comfortable and tranquil. I will definitely come back when I can. I feel very fortunate to have spent a few days there!

Neither James nor the house can take responsibility for the weather, but what we had was unendingly spectacular. 7 straight days of sunshine while, apparently, it rained in Spain. This is VERY unusual for the area, but really made the moore and farmland surrounding the cottage shine. Even if it had rained and been blustery, the cottage is fitted with an excellent heating system and a wood fire in the living room. Hotwater for the kitchen and bathrooms is prompt and plentiful. Recently renovated with good (rather than cheap) furniture choices made, the house is in great shape. The kitchen was well stocked and while the oven was a bit mysterious to operate, everything worked well. Pastoral by day, truly dark sky by night, and a strong selection of both gastro-pubs and wonderful footpaths on which to reach them right out the door from the property.

What a beautiful place for a few days of peace- and quiet apart from the sound of beautiful birds and the river. The views were spectacular and the river at the bottom of the field was incredible. Some lovely walks on thedoorstep. Felt so welcoming as we walked in with delicious scones; jam and Devonshire clotted cream along with lovely fresh flowers on the side; beautiful touches. Could not fault it; soft fluffy towels; extremely comfy bed and lovely soft furnishings. Very cosy indeed. The weather wasn’t brilliant so spoilt our break slightly but did manage to have a few drinks in the evening on the patio along with coffee in the morning listening ti the bird song. Did the circular walk a couple of times into Dulverton and ate at the local pub; stunning walk through the forest and along the river. Tarr Steps is also worth visiting- the river agin is spectacular and so nice that our Lab could paddle safely in the shallow water. Had a wonderful break and would definitely come back.
