Dog friendly
(13 Cottages sleeping 2-12 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, warm indoor heated pool, putting green,
pool table, table tennis table, 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, 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.
