Enjoy a rural escape on the edge of the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a stay at this Norwegian wooden lodge. Nestled within verdant gardens on the owner’s property yet enjoying its own privacy, this cosy abode is perfect for couples or solo travellers and their faithful four-legged friend. Located just 2.5 miles from the coastal town of Watchet and within easy reach of the Exmoor National Park, there’s plenty to explore before returning here to sip wine on the terrace and watch stars appear overhead.
Tucked in the corner of an orchard with mesmerising views over the Quantock Hills, this petite lodge has been designed to maximise space and offer all the creature comforts you need. Flooded with natural light, the open-plan living area is a delight. Rustle up meals for two and some tasty titbits for Fido in the sleek kitchen and settle around the dining table to savour your creations. Relax on your raised terrace to watch wildlife or get cosy on the double sofa to watch a film. There’s a double bedroom for restful nights, and a Jack and Jill shower room which can be accessed from the bedroom and the living space. Outside, your happy hound will love exploring the mature gardens and across from the property are 30 acres of woodland with permissive rights to roam.
Enjoy morning zoomies on St Audries Bay (1 mile), which welcomes dogs all year or venture to vibrant Watchet (2 miles) to sniff out enticing smells at the picturesque harbour. From here you can pick up the West Somerset Heritage Steam Railway to glide through picturesque countryside. Alternatively, take your pick of glorious walkies from the multitude of trails in Exmoor and the Quantock Hills.
