Ball Cottage, Winsford

Ball Cottage in Winsford (Somerset) sleeps up to 5 (max 4 adults). It is beautifully equipped and comfy while having all the character you would expect from a 17th-century cottage: wood and tile floors, an open fire and disused bread oven in the sitting room. There are roses climbing up the wall. Ball Cottage in Winsford (Somerset) features an open fire and a disused bread oven; upstairs there’s a very old leaded window; and the floors are mainly wood or tile. The cottage has roses climbing up the wall and is set in a large garden. At the back is a beautiful spot where you can sit beside the River Exe near an old packhorse bridge. When the river is low, children have a happy time paddling and exploring. There are three bedrooms: a double bedroom downstairs, plus two bedrooms upstairs, one double and one twin. The cottage sleeps up to 5 guests (max 4 adults) so your sleeping arrangements can be flexible. The bathroom upstairs has recently been redesigned; it has a bath, powerful shower, large heated towel rail and a shaver point.

Ball Cottage sits beside the quiet Exford road on the edge of Winsford, one of the most beautiful villages in the Exmoor National Park. It's an easy stroll into the village. The sea is at Minehead, 14 miles away.

The gardens at Ball Cottage are a delight. From the back door you take some steps down to a lawn beside the river, where there is a lovely teak garden table and chairs.
Please note there are also some steep steps in the garden so young children must be supervised.

There is off-road parking available on the opposite side of the road outside the barn.

Sorry, no dogs at Ball Cottage.

Ball Cottage is strictly non-smoking.

Ball Cottage is available for weekly lets throughout the year and for short breaks (3-4 nights) during the off-season. Changeover day is Friday for weekly lets.

Quiet and relaxing holiday in Exmoor
We stayed at Ball Cottage, Winsford for one week and enjoyed the beautiful countryside as well as the charming cottage very much. Especially the garden stretching down to the river where we could enjoy the evening sun was really wonderful. The cottage was tidy and clean, the beds comfortable and everything we needed was there. The description to the cottage was sufficient. The small village shop is open in the morning for bread, milk, newspapers, etc. which is very convenient. We would definitely go there again.
