Wheddon Cross, situated in the picturesque South West of England, offers a charming cottage that sleeps two, making it an ideal retreat for couples seeking tranquility. This area is particularly favored by walkers and nature enthusiasts, with the stunning Exmoor National Park right at their doorstep. The cottage, nestled around the yard of a small farm, is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, especially during the quieter off-season months. Guests can take advantage of the nearby summit of Dunkery Beacon, which provides breathtaking panoramic views, and the local village is just a short distance away, featuring a well-stocked shop and a welcoming pub.
Upon entering the cottage, guests are greeted by a cozy lounge/kitchen/diner that serves as a perfect sanctuary for relaxation. The inviting lounge area, complete with a wood burner, offers a comfortable space to curl up with a book or enjoy a movie on the TV/DVD. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with modern amenities, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, and fridge with an ice compartment, making it easy to prepare meals. A convenient cloakroom is also available for storing coats and muddy boots after a day of exploring the countryside, enhancing the cottage's practicality for outdoor enthusiasts.
Ascending to the upper level, visitors will find a spacious super king room that can be configured as a twin upon request, catering to various guest preferences. This floor also hosts a well-appointed shower room, ensuring comfort and convenience. While Wi-Fi is available, guests should note that the connection may be intermittent due to the cottage's rural location. The property maintains a peaceful atmosphere by regrettably not accommodating children under the age of 16, allowing couples to fully immerse themselves in their serene getaway.
Outside, guests can enjoy an enclosed decked area with seating, perfect for savoring warm Somerset evenings while taking in the sweeping valley views. A small private garden, accessible via nine steps, invites visitors to relax and indulge in al fresco dining. The cottage offers off-road parking for one vehicle, and additional facilities are available in a separate building, including lockable storage for bikes and surfboards, laundry amenities, and a hose with hot water for washing pets. For dog owners, a useful dog kennel and run are conveniently located below the decking steps, ensuring a welcoming environment for four-legged companions.
