Fuzzy Orchard is a brilliant place to stay! This luxury large group holiday lodge sleeps 12, with room for 2 extra guest beds, charged per person. There’s heaps of space inside and out, there’s plenty of style, and substance comes in the form of a private indoor pool, sauna, games room, hot tub, BBQ lodge and play area. In other words, there’s something for all ages, which is why this is such a great choice for holidays and celebrations any time of year.
Fuzzy Orchard is hidden away deep in the Somerset countryside; all around are gently rolling hills, woodlands and open fields. The views are glorious and right on the doorstep are paddocks where horses graze and footpaths to explore. Wander up to the Globe Inn at Appley Cross or to the White Post Cafe for lunch in the garden. A little further away, climb up to Wellington Monument and Culm Beacon, where the views stretch forever across the landscape.
Pop into Wellington for essential supplies; when the Farmer’s Market is on the streets are bustling with stalls selling local goodies galore. Browse the independent shops and have lunch at The Green Dragon or afternoon tea at Odette’s Tearoom. On the outskirts of town you can take the young ‘uns to Flip Out Wellington for a hearty bounce on the trampolines. There’s plenty more to keep them amused within a short drive; say hello to the animals and critters who live at Tropiquaria Wildlife Park, see the spooky dungeons at Dunster Castle, or whizz down to Crealy Theme Park & Resort for a family day out.
If you have a hankering for the great outdoors, spend a day discovering the wilds of the Quantock Hills AONB, or have an Exmoor adventure; pootle up over the heather-clad heaths where wild ponies feed, amble along lush river valleys and stop at one of the picturesque villages for freshly baked scones in a little teashop. Ride the Victorian Cliff Railway at Lynton and Lynmouth, wander out to spot wild goats grazing at the Valley of Rocks.
Within an hour you can be on the beaches of the Somerset Coast; catch the steam train on the West Somerset Railway from Bishops Lydeard and alight at Blue Anchor or Minehead to play on the sands. Over on the Jurassic Coast you can go fossil hunting or mackerel fishing at Lyme Regis, tuck into fresh crab sandwiches at Ducky’s Beach Café at Beer, and stroll over the cliffs to Branscombe. If you’re into surfing, get up early and head down to Croyde to catch the waves.
Slow down the pace with a visit to Ridgeway Cider at Holcombe Rogus or a stroll through the apple orchards at Sheppy’s Cider. Back at Fuzzy Orchard sit outside with a drink as the sun sets over the valley, slip into the hot tub beneath the stars, gather together in the BBQ lodge under the twinkly lights. A world away from the push and shove, so perfect. Book today!
