Dog friendly             (13 Cottages sleeping 2-18 in the Exmoor National Park)           Families welcome


Set in a stunning unspoiled location, with lovely views of the surrounding countryside, Duddings offers all the ingredients for a memorable holiday in the beautiful Exmoor National Park. 3 miles from the coast, Duddings is an ideal base from which to explore the 600 miles of local public footpaths and bridleways. Many picturesque villages and harbours lie within easy reach, and the famous ponies and red deer can be found on the moor. The medieval village of Dunster is only 2 miles away, and is well worth exploring for its castle, priory, church, tithe barn, dovecote, water mill, and the famous Yarn Market.

 

Our Facilities

Facilities at Duddings include a hard tennis court, indoor heated pool, putting green, a new games room (with pool table, table tennis & table football), trampoline, football net & Gate Lodge Play Centre (2-story playhouse with swings, slide, fireman’s pole & assault course). Off the secondary courtyard we have an Information Room with Wifi access, a Pay Phone, brochures, a selection of children’s books & some videos & DVDs. There are eight acres of land to explore, with picnic areas, and a safe river where you may spot a brown trout! This is a marvellous spot for a family holiday in an area which has so much to offer.

 

The West Wing   (Sleeps 12 – 6 bedrooms)
The West Wing forms the greater part of a traditionally built thatched Devon longhouse. Dating back to the 16th century and Grade II listed, the interior has been tastefully restored and offers a wealth of period features, including exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces. Approached through a private, walled patio garden, the entrance porch leads to the main hallway with payphone. The ground floor has a well fitted kitchen with double oven and ceramic hob, microwave, fridge/freezer + a second  fridge, dishwasher  etc. The oak-floored lounge has a massive inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, TV (32” Sony with Freesat HD), video, DVD player, CD player with Ipod dock and comfortable seating for 12. The dining room has an inglenook and polished hardwood floor, offering a perfect setting for that special celebration meal (seats up to 16). Leading off the hallway is a second sitting room or ‘snug’ & a utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer, sink & oil-fired combi-boiler plus a 4th loo. A twin bedded room is located on the ground floor with an en-suite shower room. On the first floor there are five bedrooms; a double and four twins, together with a bathroom (with bath & shower), and a further shower room. Wifi access available.

The 12 Cottages   (Sleep 2-8)

The cottages are mostly grouped around a courtyard in a lovely setting with views of the wooded hills and scattered fields. They have been beautifully converted from old stone barns and stables. The ancient beams and stone walls have been retained and enhanced by the provision of comfortable and stylish furniture, and excellent decorations.
