Deer Lodge South Molton Reviews

Stephanie
A lovely lodge in the middle of nowhere. The track leading to the lodge is muddy so be prepared. WiFi very good. Hot tub is really good. The lodge is very clean inside and full of everything you need. Beware of wasps and horse flies if you visit in September. We had them all over the hot tub. You have to drive into Barnstaple for a good pub. The thRead moreeme inside the lodge was very tasteful and quirky. We loved it. Hard to find but thats the point of being out in the middle of nowhere. Hide
