Ball Cottage, Winsford - Exmoor National Park - Riverside Gardens

Ball cottage is a step back in time. It is located next to a river and stone bridge and the garden backs onto the water so a lovely place to sit. The cottage had a few issues - the chimney was out of service and emitted a smoky smell during our stay. The bathroom floor needs attention. There is also nowhere to hang clothes to dry outside. Overall we found it a pleasant location and a short drive from the natural beauty of Exmoor - theTarr steps are only 3 miles away and Dunkery beacon a short drive. We recommend Horner Wood for a walk.

Situated in a lovely village including a pub with an excellent restaurant. Lots of places to visit and a beautiful coastline.

A perfect little cottage, like staying with your Granny. Everything you need is there-we even had a ‘baking day’. We sat by the river in the garden and watched kingfishers flashing by, darting under the picturesque bridges. There are walks from the cottage to Tarr Steps and along the Ex, our son enjoyed the challenging cycling, we enjoyed pootling in Dulverton, and going to Lynmouth via the Barle Valley and Watersmeet. Swimming at Cow Castle was magical. \r A lovely cottage in a beautiful area, and so quaint and quiet.
