Property info
Kiri Cottage is the largest of four holiday cottages on the farm, sleeping up to 6 across three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The entrance opens onto an open-plan living and dining area with a wood-burner, dining table and chairs, comfortable seating and a well-equipped kitchen with electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. A smart TV completes the living space.
One ground floor bedroom offers zip-link beds that can be arranged as a twin or a super-king, with its own en-suite bathroom comprising bath with shower over, toilet and hand basin. A separate family bathroom, also with bath and shower over, is located on the ground floor. Two further staircases lead to the remaining bedrooms at opposite ends of the cottage: a spiral staircase to a bedroom with another set of zip-link beds (twin or super-king), and a wooden staircase to a mezzanine bedroom with a king-size bed overlooking the living area below.
Bed linen and towels are provided, along with a basket of logs, kindling and matches for the wood-burner during cooler months. GBP 20 of heating and electricity is included, generally ample for a week's stay. Wifi is available throughout. A cot, high chair and stair gate can be provided on request, making the cottage well suited to families, though it is not suitable for guests with restricted mobility or wheelchair users. Guests share access to a communal washing machine and dryer in an external laundry room.
Outside, the cottage has its own patio with a picnic bench and BBQ, overlooking a shared garden and the moorland beyond. A children's play area with climbing frame, wendy house and picnic table is also available on the farm. Ample parking is available close to the cottage.
Dogs are welcome, up to a maximum of two per booking, for a supplement of GBP 20 each. Stabling and paddock turnout can also be arranged for horses at an additional charge.
Neighborhood info
Brushford is a peaceful village on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park in Somerset, just two miles from the market town of Dulverton.
The village sits where the rivers Barle and Exe converge in a beautiful wooded valley. The parish church of St Nicholas dates from the 15th century and includes the Herbert memorial chapel designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Brushford has a village hall, playground, and a friendly community of families and retirees -- a tranquil base from which to explore all that Exmoor has to offer.
Dulverton, a short stroll or two-minute drive away, is known as the 'southern gateway to Exmoor' and provides an excellent range of amenities. You will find independent shops, a late-opening supermarket, butcher, greengrocer, post office, chemist, and a cash machine. There are award-winning restaurants, traditional pubs, tea rooms, and a fish and chip shop. Exmoor House -- the headquarters of the Exmoor National Park Authority -- is in Dulverton and features exhibitions and a gallery.
The Guildhall Heritage and Arts Centre in Dulverton is well worth a visit, with free admission and fascinating exhibitions on local history including a working model of the original Dulverton railway station. The town sits between the rivers Barle and Exe, and the stunning Tarr Steps ancient clapper bridge is just five miles to the northwest -- one of the most popular and iconic landmarks in the whole of Exmoor.
