 Riverside Cottage is situated next to Pulhams Mill on the eastern edge of the Exmoor National Park in Somerset. This site is one of the oldest on Exmoor (1086AD) and features in the Domesday Book. - Formed from a converted shippon and completed in the spring of 2002 the cottage offers luxurious holiday accommodation and is available throughout the year.
- Owners Ian Mawby and Pauline Clements, who live at the Mill across the road, have put a huge amount of time and loving attention into the building.
- The cottage has been designed to accommodate up to 6 adults in comfort with 1 double and 2 twin bedrooms, all en-suite.
- There is good access and parking and the cottage is secluded, south facing and rural beside the river Pulham.
- There are beautiful views of fields and hills and a quiet valley leading to the Haddeo river.
ACCOMMODATION
 Ian is a furniture maker and has made a number of items for the cottage including much of the kitchen. The floors are mostly oak and the double glazed windows have chestnut frames. You are welcomed in to the hall by the glow of the wood burner through the half-glazed door. Then into the oak-floored and comfortably furnished lounge with TV. A large opening leads to the well equipped kitchen/dining room. This has French doors onto the patio which overlooks the river.
When sitting at the kitchen table by the window you can hear the river trickling by and watch birds including ducks (and possibly otters) whilst having your breakfast. Back in the hall, to the left is the downstairs twin-bedroom, suitable for the disabled and with en-suite toilet and shower room. (This WC can also be used as a cloakroom by entering from the hall).
Up the oak stairway to the right is the master double bedroom. This has an en-suite shower and toilet. There are original beams above the bed from which there are views down the river. On the landing there is the main bathroom which features a hand painted tile mural by Pauline. She has hidden 4 fairies and a couple of pixies in the painting - so there's a good excuse for a long hot bath while trying to find them! This bathroom is also en-suite to the other twin bedroom, again with views of the river and the countryside.
