We had a wonderful comfortable break. Chalet was very clean. They provided clean bed linen and towels. And the hot tub was very welcoming. It was home from home. Short drive to supermarket and restaurants etc. We were just disappointed that the cottles Inn pub which is a stone throw away, closed down! We booked it thinking weve got something within walking distance for our elderly Mom to walk to with us but were told couple of weeks prior booking that it had closed!

Claire
We booked Elm Lodge for a weekend away with friends. Very clean, excellent location for Dartmoor (you'll need a car to get to the shops) and everything you need in the kitchen to self-cater. Lovely hot tub. Would definitely recommend.
Celia
This is a small and friendly park lodge in a very good location for exploring Dartmoor and Okehampton areas. Local reservoir for dog walking and very comfortable lodge. Hot tub was a very lovely bonus. We loved it and would return. Thank you so much.
Sarah
The staff on site could not have been more helpful! The lodge was very comfortable with everything we needed for our two week holiday.
Kerry
Everything you need is provided in the kitchen down to washing powder and washing up liquid, as long as you want peace and quiet you are in for that in abundance. We booked in Betty Cottlls restaurant for mother's day lunch, only down side to that was no starters or dessert being served only mains, but it was very nice. I would highly recommend Elm Lodge which we stayed in.
Joanne
A lovely lodge in a beautiful location. The owners provided so many useful extras- washing powder, tea towels, dishwasher tablets etc. The lodge is very spacious with plenty of radiators to keep it toasty, even in February! The hot tub was brilliant, my daughter loved it! It is tucked up the side of the lodge, giving you privacy. I would love to re turn in the future and would recommend a stay there.
Stacy-ann
