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.
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
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 TVs, videos,
DVD’s, microwaves, hairdryers, irons and ironing boards. Individually
controlled central heating by oil throughout.
