THE HUTCH
Your home from home
The Hutch is a new build holiday cottage within the grounds of our own house. We built it over the summer of 2017 based on what we look for in holiday accommodation (style and substance), and therefore hope you won't be lacking for anything. It was recently redecorated during Autumn 2020.

Fully tiled, luxury bathroom with full length bath, overhead power shower, fluffy towels, posh shower gel and handwash. Bathrobes are provided for your use during your stay.

A generous sized wardrobe with hanging space, drawers and shelves, ironing board, iron and hairdryer. The bedroom can also accommodate a travel cot which we can provide.

Positioned in front of the floor to ceiling windows, is a dining table and comfy dining chairs for two people (high chair can also be provided).

The kitchen has stylish, modern light grey units and is well equipped. There is a washer/dryer, fridge (with small freezer box), electric oven, electric hob, kettle, toaster, microwave and Nespresso coffee machine. Pods are provided.
In terms of provisions, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, olive oil, salt and pepper are available regardless of length of stay. As is breakfast where we provide you with bread, butter, jam, marmalade, pastries, cereal, muesli porridge and local milk. For those staying 3 nights or more we will make sure you have a bottle of wine or posh soft drink to sip.
Within 5-10 drive is a small Morrisons shop and Tesco Express can be found in St Thomas, or a large Sainsburys in Alphington on the outskirts of Exeter. A milk vending machine has recently opened in Longdown itself, we therefore provide you with a reusable glass bottle of local milk and if you need anymore feel free to top up the bottle yourself!
Your outside space
-
French doors lead out of the living area onto a purpose built wooden deck terrace. From this elevated position you look over our garden onto the surrounding fields. A Weber charcoal BBQ and dining table and chairs are there to be enjoyed day or evening.
-
Parking for one car is right outside your door. This parking area is shared with The Burrow and we recommend where possible you reverse down the drive. Parking for The Hutch is on the left hand (wall) side as you come down the drive.
-
EV charging for your car is available (for a charge). This is outside our front door, on the top driveway.
