    About Whipcott Water
    Whipcott Water is part of our Autograph Lodge Holiday collection. Commanding an idyllic setting on the Devonshire/Somerset border this small group of contemporary cottage style lodges is perfect for romantic hideaways and relaxing family breaks. Conveniently located just a short 10 minute drive from the M5, these rural retreats are ideally placed for exploring the many delights of this stunning area. You'll find picture postcard villages and the outstanding natural beauty of Exmoor and Dartmoor, impressive Cheddar Gorge Caves and the superb clean sandy beaches of North and South Devon, all within easy reach.

    For something more restful, relax in your own private garden or patio with its outdoor hot tub or call into the local pub where you'll find a warm welcome as well as superb food and drink. A country lane separates these lodges from the Grand Western Canal Country Park and a footpath provides easy access to the towpath from where you can enjoy walks, cycle rides (hire available†) and fishing (rod hire and tuition available†).

    In-lodge therapies are also available to help you de-stress in the comfort of your own lodge.
