  • A charming authentic Norwegian lodge with views of the Quantock Hills

Property code: OC-96238

On the edge of the Quantock Hills, this charming two-bedroom lodge offers a perfect escape for a couple or a family, surrounded by endless natural beauty and an array of activities right on the doorstep. The West Somerset town of Watchet is just 2 miles away, a lesser-known destination that makes an excellent base for an unforgettable holiday. Stroll along its marina and the Old Port, and explore the independently owned shops, eateries and pubs dotted along its quaint streets. Between here and there, Doniford Beach (1 mile) is ideal for fossil hunting and walks along the rugged seafront. Take a coastal walk to St Audrie’s Waterfall (0.5 miles) to admire its impressive cascade. You’re perfectly positioned between the Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park (both less than 5 miles away), opening up a wealth of walking routes, cycling trails and memorable days out, including hikes amongst the famed Exmoor ponies. This handsome wooden lodge welcomes you with homely decor and cosy furnishings, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Vaulted ceilings and sturdy beams give the rooms a traditional charm, while garden or countryside views from most windows serve as a constant reminder of your peaceful countryside setting.

Step inside via the hallway, where coats and boots can be left behind, and head into the two bedrooms – one double and one twin – each snug and welcoming. Off the hallway, you’ll also find a wet room-style shower room, as well as access to the kitchen. The kitchen/diner is spacious and well equipped, with everything you need to cater for four, and a charming breakfast table for enjoying meals together. Adjacent to this, the lounge is equally inviting, with ample comfortable seating and a Smart TV for your evening entertainment. When the sun shines, throw open the French doors and let the lounge flow out onto the raised decking. This decked area boasts incredible views, a set of outdoor furniture – the perfect spot to unwind on a summer evening.

Set in a tucked away position within the grounds of the owner's home where you are welcome to enjoy the attractively fully enclosed landscaped shared gardens. Across from the property are 30 acres of surrounding woodland with permissive rights to roam. There is private parking for one car.

A warm welcoming cosy lodge located on the owner's property with a separate entrance and self contained garden for your 4 legged friends. The lodge was clean and comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with cutlery, crockery, pots and pans, a microwave, kettle, toaster and washing machine. Milk, butter and a cake cake were very kindly awaiting ourRead more arrival. Just across the road are woods for walks with the dogs. We enjoyed our stay at the lodge immensely and would definitely recommend it. Hide
