Facilities
The Old Malt House kitchen has recently been renovated and fitted with new appliances to include electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, washing machine, slimline dishwasher, kettle, filter coffee machine and toaster.

There is a 50" Smart TV in the sitting room area, which is on a swivel arm so can be enjoyed from the large four seater sofa or from the kitchen/dining area.

The property benefits from ultrafast fibre broadband, though due to the thickness of the internal walls, there is limited wifi available in the bedrooms and bathroom. There is also no phone signal on most mobile networks, though wifi calling is possible.

The Old Malt House houses a games room, which is accessed from the kitchen, and includes a table-tennis table plus a selection of board games, books and extensive DVD collection. Please note that the games room has not yet been renovated and is not quite as luxurious as the rest of the property!

Electricity and heating costs are included in the price of your accommodation. The Old Malt House has recently been fitted with state of the art 'smart' electric radiators, which ensure cosy evenings in the winter. These radiators are pre-programmed to provide optimum comfort but can be adjusted to suit your preferences. There is also a large wood-burner in the sitting room; a starter basket of logs, kindling and firelighters will be provided and further logs can be purchased locally. The cottage is double glazed throughout. In the summer months, the thick external walls keep the cottage deliciously cool.

Bed linen and towels are provided for your convenience.

Dogs are welcome (maximum of 3 dogs per booking), for a supplement of £15 per dog. Please do not leave your dog/s alone in the property at any time or allow them on the furniture or in the bedrooms.

Location

Brushford is a peaceful village on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park in Somerset, just two miles from the market town of Dulverton.

The village sits where the rivers Barle and Exe converge in a beautiful wooded valley. The parish church of St Nicholas dates from the 15th century and includes the Herbert memorial chapel designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Brushford has a village hall, playground, and a friendly community of families and retirees -- a tranquil base from which to explore all that Exmoor has to offer.

Dulverton, a short stroll or two-minute drive away, is known as the 'southern gateway to Exmoor' and provides an excellent range of amenities. You will find independent shops, a late-opening supermarket, butcher, greengrocer, post office, chemist, and a cash machine. There are award-winning restaurants, traditional pubs, tea rooms, and a fish and chip shop. Exmoor House -- the headquarters of the Exmoor National Park Authority -- is in Dulverton and features exhibitions and a gallery.

The Guildhall Heritage and Arts Centre in Dulverton is well worth a visit, with free admission and fascinating exhibitions on local history including a working model of the original Dulverton railway station. The town sits between the rivers Barle and Exe, and the stunning Tarr Steps ancient clapper bridge is just five miles to the northwest -- one of the most popular and iconic landmarks in the whole of Exmoor.
