We (2 adults, 2 teenage girls and 2 dogs) has an amazing time! The lodge was very spacious and comfortable - plenty of room for all of us. The views over fields are lovely - so nice to relax in a recliner or in the hut tub to take them in and relax. Despite being next to a working farm, there was never any intrusive noise, and being away from the rRead moreoad down a farm track meant the lodge felt very secluded, peaceful and relaxing. Although the town is easily walkable, it was a bit too hot during our stay - so we tended to drive in for shopping and the odd meal out. However, the lodge is so relaxing and well equipped that we spent most of the evenings there anyway. We'd all love to come back! Hide

Of all the lodges and cottages we have stayed in the countryside, this is by far the best situated we have stayed in Devon. There were so many lovely dog walks on our doorstep and in South Molton itself, it was a breath of fresh air for us. The lodge was spacious and yet cosy.

We didnt use the kennel but it is a lovely addition for those that do. Shops and pubs to eat are also a 4 minute drive away or a 20 minute walk. The sheep and their lambs were fascinating to watch too. All in all. A wonderful stay. Hide
