A return visit which did not disappoint. The location is perfect for exploring the lovely market town of South Molton and easy access to the North Devon Coast. The lodge is located on a quiet road out of South Molton but walkable to the town where you will find a whole host of independent shops for browsing. Set in a beautiful spot opposite the lakRead moree and only a two minute walk from the owners gardens, which in the September sunshine were just glorious. Great place to relax in peace and quiet.

The lodge was spacious, comfortable, warm and homely, with the central heating and woodburner banishing the winter chill. Lovely views across the lake and fields. Very helpful hosts.

We have visited this site every year since 2018, stayed in 3 out of the 4 lodges and all are fabulous. The peace and quiet is soothing for the soul yet you are so close to bustling towns and glorious beaches. Our favourite place to be!

This place is amazing whether you are into fishing or not. The chalet we stayed in was in such a lovely spot and had most stuff you'd have at home. Having filled the birdfeeders, breakfast time was also bird watching time. The lakes and gardens are glorious and we saw a couple of huge fish caught by some lucky fishers. Its peaceful, full of nature,Read more no light pollution and a real gem. Also close to town and a good base from which to explore North Devon. Highly recommend. Hope to stay again. Hide

The lodge has a lovely home from home feel, everything you need for a short break, clean and comfortable with super views from the back patio and the lakes from the front patio. We were lucky to have good weather and see the sunset each night over the lake. Town just short distance away with pubs shops etc.
