A group of four wonderful holiday lodge apartments set in the grounds of the Grade II listed Knapp House estate on the outskirts of the village of East Anstey, four miles from the town of Dulverton, known as the gateway to Exmoor. These four purpose-built Dulverton cottages each have their own unique theme and offer quality accommodation. Guests are able to wander freely in the woodland and orchard behind the house and there are benches to relax and enjoy a picnic or a glass of bubbly. Knapp House is a beautiful example of a country house designed in the Arts and Crafts style and was built as a hunting lodge in 1907. These Dulverton cottages provide a tranquil retreat from which to explore Exmoor, one of Britain’s greenest National Parks.

Previous visitors' comments about Woodpecker Loft:
The situation of Woodpecker Loft is excellent a good base for exploring Exmoor. We liked Dulverton the nearest small market town. The Loft is well equipped, comfortable and felt very cosy when the gales were blowing in the surrounding trees on New Year's Eve. The owners were very welcoming and we enjoyed the mince pies and the bubbly.

I loved everything. The owners were very welcoming, showing us around the property when we first arrived. They provided all the basics, as well as a cream tea which was delicious. Overall the whole place was beautifully decorated and clean, with a warm, welcoming feel.
