There is also a TV and DVD player. Leading off from this room, is a downstairs twin bedroom with a specially adapted en-suite shower room suitable for persons with impaired mobility. We have recently replaced the twin beds with interlocking beds, so a kingsize bed may be made up if preferred. Double doors open out onto the paved enclosed patio. Upstairs, there are two large bedrooms – one twin and one double with a four poster bed. There is also a bathroom with shower over bath and WC. On the ground floor a ramp leads to the enclosed paved patio area, where garden furniture and barbecue make this the perfect place to enjoy evening meals watching the setting sun. Drake has inter-communicating doors with Rook Cottage next door. Double bookings are available for larger parties. Here at Great Gutton, we have 5 self catering cottages adjoining/surrounding the main thatched farm house. Each Cottage has its own private space but there is also plenty of garden and fields for you all to explore. We are very relaxed about folk being here and guests can choose to keep themselves to themselves, or to chit chat and make friends with fellow guests - it really is up to you!! Great Gutton is a charming Grade II* listed Devonshire Thatched Farmhouse set in 21 acres of rolling countryside, offering dog friendly (in certain properties), self catering cottages in the heart of rural Devon. With the Games room and indoor heated swimming pool open all year, there really is something for everyone – whatever the weather! Superb for large gatherings of up to 24, where folk can all have their own space but all come together, should they wish. We have secure buildings for any bikes/surfboards/fishing rods and any other paraphernalia folk wish to bring. A bank supply of cots, hi chairs and stair gates are available on request. A little bit about Mid Devon and where we are: We are 40 minutes from both the North and South coast. The busy market town of Crediton is nearby and Exeter is only 20 minutes away with its historic quayside, Cathedral and superb shopping facilities. Dartmoor and Exmoor as well as North and South Coast beaches are accessible from here. A car would be handy when staying here but there is a train station and mainline buses running from Crediton, plus local taxi firms. We are Suzi & John & have been here, with our children at Great Gutton for over 10 years. Whilst the children have nearly all left home, we love welcoming guests to stay and understand there are many reasons for choosing to come to Great Gutton. Whether it is family gatherings, celebrations, holidays, time together or simply time away from it all to relax, we try and make all things possible. Should you have any questions, then simply ping them over and I will see what I can do! Escape, Relax and Unwind......
