Outside Description

Westcott Cross Cottage is surrounded by a huge secure, child and dog safe garden with totally unspoilt views over the Exmoor hills. The large garden provides plenty of space for relaxation or for children to play in and give the property privacy (the little stone building seen in some of the pictures is a storage barn, not another cottage).

There is a patio area with picnic table tucked to the side of the house, making the most of a sheltered position with stunning views up and down the valley.
