Quietly nestling in its own garden, surrounded by rugged hills and an unspoilt rural landscape, Little Pudding Cottage is the last cottage on a single-track road leading onto National Trust moorland. Enjoying beautiful views in every direction with wonderful walks straight from the door – Little Pudding Cottage is an inspirational holiday haven for walkers, cyclists, honeymooners, birdwatchers, artists, families or those looking for complete rest and relaxation. Whilst private and secluded with no close neighbours, Little Pudding Cottage is just 3.5 miles from the 12th century Red Lion pub, which offers good food in a relaxed atmosphere. (link)

The cottage is very well equipped, often described as a home from home, with comfortable furniture and attention to detail, which combined with the stunning surrounds ensure a holiday to remember.

Little Pudding Cottage isn’t reliant on mains services (we have a generator for electric which we charge up before your visit and water supply comes from our own borehole and solar panels/wood burner to heat water) and we do not plan on connecting up in the future but this does not affect our guests comfort in any way.

Outdoor games including badminton, garden chess, table tennis and paddling pool ensure the children and adults alike can have some fun in the fresh air.

Pets welcome –
sheep are roaming in the surrounding countryside so dogs should be under close control at all times.

We also have a resident pheasant, Phillip who pops by for his dinner, he sometimes taps on the kitchen window if he’s really hungry and will eat from your hand once used to you (although he can be a bit rough, so we don’t recommend small children feed him!!)

Green Issues

We hope to introduce a number of greener options over the next couple of years to ensure guests have a wonderful stay with minimal impact to the environment.

Recycling
We already offer recycling facilities for paper, card, cans, glass, wood and plastic. We also offer composting facilities for waste. Outdoor lights are solar powered and internal bulbs are energy efficient/4w LEDs and we encourage our guests to support local businesses wherever possible to reduce green miles. We make our own glass cleaner and furniture polish from simple ingredients and use ‘eco’ cleaning products. We buy reusable/recycled products wherever possible and encourage our guests to walk/cycle from the door and hope to increase biodiversity with a wildlife patch in the garden and nesting boxes. We adopt the “reduce, reuse and recycle” policy wherever possible.

Over the next couple of years we aim to introduce the following:

We are always striving to adopt green practices and welcome any advice or suggestions our guests have to help us achieve this.
