Cottages -

The oldest parts of Muddlebridge House are believed to have been one of several small local potteries, some of which existed until well into the 20th century.

A major extension was added to the original building in the late 18th century, at the same time as two stone stable blocks and a carriage barn cum hay store, to create a very elegant Georgian gentleman's residence.

The stables and barn were then most innovatively converted in the mid-1980's to form the cottages, each self-contained with its own unique character and interior layout.The cottages are very comfortably furnished, with easy-chairs/sofas, dining suites and bedroom furniture in pine. Open-plan living-rooms provide sitting, dining and kitchen areas.

Our two largest cottages, Thatchers and Wheelwrights, are adjacent and occupy the top two floors of the converted carriage barn. Each has three bedrooms (one double, two twin-bedded) and sleeps six people. The double bedroom in each has an en-suite shower cubicle with wash-basin and w.c., whilst the twin rooms share another bathroom. All three bedrooms in Thatchers are upstairs whereas, in Wheelwrights, the double bedroom is downstairs, off the living-room.

Millers, fitted with stairlift, also has three upstairs bedrooms (double, twin and single), one bathroom and a slightly smaller living-room than Thatchers and Wheelwrights.

Potters and Weavers, our two-bedroomed cottages, each sleeps four. Weavers comprises one double and one twin bedroom. The second bedroom in Potters is fitted with full size bunk beds (which meet latest safety requirements), and this cottage has a larger living-room. Bedrooms and bathroom in each are upstairs.

Forge sleeps two or three people in its good sized bedroom, furnished with one double and one single bed. The bedroom, which has a door opening out onto the garden, is accessed by an open-plan staircase off the living-room, with separate kitchen and bathroom also downstairs.

Saddlers, which sleeps two (double bed), has a spacious living-room, separate kitchen fitted with breakfast bar, bathroom off an inner hall, and an open plan staircase to the delightful little bedroom.

Situated less than three miles from the historical market town of Barnstaple, Muddlebridge provides the perfect venue for a memorable visit to North Devon.
