The village is centred around a traditional green, with stone cottages, ancient bridges over the river, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

There are two pubs serving food and drink, and a tea room offering homemade cakes and cream teas.

May 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Wonderful week in Exford This was our first time staying in Chapel cottage. We loved the cosy, yet spacious cottage. Our well behaved dog was happy to sleep downstairs in the dining room, overlooking the beautiful suntrap patio! With regards to cottage, there are a few little things! The water pressure isn't very good, so if you're used to a power shower, please note that it won't deliver! We visited Dunster beach, Minehead, Ilfracombe, Lynton and Lynmouth, Hunters Inn, Woolacombe beach, Porlock and walked lots on Exmoor. We recommend The White Horse in the village for good food and if you want to travel further The Black Venus in Challacombe is absolutely fabulous! We hope to be back later in the year! ##### Samantha P. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie L.
