Anstey Mills Cottages

They are extremely well equipped and very comfortable. Parties for up to 10/11 can ideally combine both places. ANSTEY MILLS COTTAGE, one end of the Devon Longhouse, is converted into a fully self-contained comfortable and spacious (175 sq m ) holiday home (sleeping 6+1child). Downstairs it has a large farmhouse kitchen, a sitting room with wood-burner and oak flooring, a utility, a toilet & showe

r and a big entrance hall. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms – one en-suite with 5' four-poster-bed (soft carpets throughout) and the main bathroom /toilet, both with bath over shower and heated towel rails. A landing door leads across a small bridge to a large sloping garden (BBQ & garden furniture available). ANSTEY MILLS THATCHED COTTAGE, an old thatched barn close to the Longhouse has been restored to a luxurious (65 sq m) self-catering cottage (2 +2 small children). It has a galleried bedroom with generous space for a couple and possibly one or two small children (single futons or sofa bed downstairs). It has heated floors in kitchen and bathroom and a whirlpool bath. Otherwise the floors are oak panels. From the first floor you have access to a large patio area - a real sun-trap - ideal for dining 'al fresco' or star gazing (Exmoor National Park has been designated the first International Dark Sky Reserve in Europe!), overlooking your own secluded garden (BBQ & furniture available) . This is a wonderful place for families with children, they have lots of space to run about outside, unrestricted by traffic on this non-working farm (own private single track access). Ebony, our cocker spaniel is happy to make two- or four-legged friends. A footpath/bridleway runs through the farm giving immediate access to Exmoor’s impressive countryside; good to see Exmoor Ponies as well as deer ( all within walking distance).
