Dog friendly
(13 Cottages sleeping 2-16 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.
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).
Adjacent to the pool, we have a telephone room with a payphone & a
brochure room. 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
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.
|
|
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.
All the cottages
are equipped to the highest standards, with colour TVs, videos,
DVD’s, microwaves, hairdryers, irons and ironing boards. Individually
controlled central heating by oil throughout.
