Also, the property is approached via a narrow 200-metre bridleway, so guests with very large vehicles are advised to negotiate it slowly.
Dulverton is a bustling town full of interesting shops, restaurants and pubs as well as very friendly locals. (We would advise pre-booking tables at Woods Restaurant, Tongdam Thai and the Bridge Inn.) There is also a greengrocer, butcher, mini-supermarket with later opening hours. Dulverton is one of the gateways to Exmoor providing second to none countryside combined with the North Devon coast about forty miles away.
The property will be ready from 4 pm on the day of your arrival. Please depart by 10 am on the last day of your stay. Please leave the property clean and tidy so that we can guarantee it will be ready on time for our next guests.
The Headmasters Cottage is available for week-long bookings and short breaks beginning any day of the week.
This property is strictly non-smoking.
