A beautiful place to stay. Lovely surroundings. Had a lovely stay. Would recommend but not May/June, too many ticks, (unless this year was a very prevalent year for them). Close to all the amenities you need, our dog loved swimming in the river at Dulverton a very easy place to get to I would like to than Richard for his hospitality and helpfulnessRead more. The cabin was great. Hide

If you are looking for a secluded spot where you do not want to be overlooked this is the place for you. Wonham Waters is set in the woods and you feel completely relaxed and away from it all. There is a bit of occasional road noise, which can be heard from the garden but this does not detract from what is a special location set in woodland. We sawRead more dragonflies, bats and Peregrine falcons carrying prey. We had a wonderful few days and returned home looking relaxed years younger! Hide
