Hazelwood Lodge

We stayed in this property for 7 nights and felt completely at home. It's very spacious, light and airy. I'm really pleased for the good quality black out blinds, as I normally use a night mask. When we visited, it was very quite. Only a few other holiday homes where being used. This meant the balcony and hot tub felt very secluded. Its was a real pleasure watching the bats fly around, listening to the owls and star gazing! It was an added advantage having a washing machine and clothes airer. The house was well equipped with additional things like dog bowl, poo bags and dog treats. A welcome gift of milk, scones and clotted cream was a lovely touch. We had a small maintenance issue. However, after sending a text to the contact number, it quickly got sorted out within a couple of hours. I feel the only downside to this holiday area, is its very remote. Be prepared to drive everywhere. Even though the local pub is about 1 mile away, you need to walk down a fast windy road with no pavements or streetlights. As we were with our dog, this was just not an option. There is a beautiful walk on the other side of the road, through the woods. However, be prepared to climb some serious hills! I wouldn't visit the holiday homes because of the 'swimming pool'. I actually feel that the swimming pool area was an eye sore and would much better be made into a grassed areagardenpondwater feature etc. However, this did not affect our stay and would definitely recommend staying.

A wonderful relaxing stay, beautiful views across the country side, a must for anybody who wants to get away and chill.

We had a wonderful week at the lodge which is based at a perfect tranquil setting. The property is very well equipped and secure with the added benefits of a hot tub and pool table. Beautiful picturesque walks and great location for exploring local market towns and beaches. Very relaxed holiday, thank you!

We had a lovely few days of relaxing. Birds chirping away so was peaceful. Nice place to stay had everything you needed. We enjoyed pool table, darts so plenty to do best of all for us was hot tub. Even in the rain was lovely lol. Pub was to far to go hills etc but we had plenty in doors.

Absolutely stunning Lodge, well equipped and very spacious. The cakes and Hot Cross Buns were a lovely touch... Charlie and the team have thought of everything. Pool table, Hot Tub, Dart Board and plenty of games to keep everyone occupied during the evenings... unfortunately it rained all week! But who can control the weather

My husband and I and our two dogs had a wonderful stay at Hazelwood Lodge. The lodges are situated in a very secluded forest on a hill and has stunning views. The lodge itself is very clean and cosy. The upstairs living roombar area is a lovely area to relax at night where you can watch TV and play pool. This leads out to the terrace and hot tub, which was filled and hot on arrival. We enjoyed sitting in there star gazing, I've never seen such bright stars! The lodge is surrounded by lovely dog friendly pubs, we visited the Exeter Inn and the Bell Inn, both around 10 minutes away, and both did lovely food, I'd highly recommend them. There's seems to be so many hidden gems in the surrounding area and we're looking forward to coming back to try more! We enjoyed lovely dog walks in Woolacombe beach and Watersmeet at Lynmouth, we also took a trip to Braunton which has lovely restaurants and shops. Most places we travelled were around 30 minutes away but the drives were very pretty, driving through countryside and by rivers and streams. Make sure you bring what you need as the nearest shop is a garage around 10 minutes drive away. It's a beautiful, quite, idyllic holiday retreat and we could not recommend it enough and look forward to returning again soon!

I booked this super last minute and was worried after i read another review on here! But the directions to the lodge were fab, the lodge its self was great it was clean and tidy. Was a little tired in places but nothing off putting. the pool table and games were perfect. Hot tub was very relaxing although did start to smell a bit after a couple of days so we put it through a few clean cycles. The owner was great with communication, as i has said yes to a high chair but there wasn't one. He arranged for us to pick one up from a local pub which was nice. I would say if you have very small children then it could do with a couple of stair gates so you could relax a bit more i had 1 crawler. It is very secluded for us townies! 25mins to the closest Tesco! But we made sure we stocked up after a trip out. Overall, very reasonably priced and a very peaceful break. Great communication and a lovely well equipped lodge

This property is un loved its a shame cos it could be really nice , the approach to the property needs weeds pulling up and more stone putting down on the side not a good first look , then when you get to the front of the property glazed units that have failed in the patio doors need replacing not a good start to the week away ? Then the outside furniture well what can I say shocking all the rattan torn and mould to two of the foot stools stored under the seating , the table has had a bad repair done to it so it rocks so much you couldnt eat at it so we didnt what a shame its certainly passed its Selby date , cleaning of the glass on the veranda wasnon existent this was full off green moss on every panel on both sides dont know when that was last cleaned . The inside of the property had a lot of dust around it the top off the wardrobes head board and underneath the double bed was ,shocking not been cleaned for quite a while nearly all the drawers in the double bed were broken couldnt use them , non of the windows had been cleaned inside or out , when entering the property a lot of the furniture seem to be cheap and poorly made , the washing machine broke on first use they come and repaired it by gluing the buttons back in so told to very gentle When using it , one good thing about the property is the pool table thats its we certainly wont be returning . I know the outside pool doesnt belong to the owner of the property we stayed at but that also needs money spending on it all the wooden benches broken and rotten all the plastic furniture was really really old all had passed there Selby date well there was only one table and about 5 chairs , the rest of the pool are certainly needs maintaining very un cared for we certainly didnt use it but other people on the site did xx

Excellent property, clean and comfortable with great facilities.

Lovely property, well placed on complex, lovely welcome with radio on and scones, hot tub ready etc. Loved that dog was included. Initial communications confusing but confusion over wifi resolved quickly by Charlie. So in the end just about extra bed description which wasn't a worry for us and no bbq shame but again we could manage. Found key ok. Really enjoyed our stay and be very happy to recommend to friends. Indeed we already have. I would have liked a bit more info about supermarketsfood options and we travelled for the pizza only to find we had to order and wait times were long, so a drag out for nothing. We had a great Sunday lunch at The Exeter Inn. Location was quite remote so we did have a drive to go to places. I would think you would have to be happy to stay in mostly without a car. Remote location and lack of polution was great for dark skies however which we did enjoy. I would have rated higher but for the price. Our only real disappointment was the pool which was cold and very shallow. We would probably have overlooked that if you could actually swim in it. Kids may be able to but I could not comfortably.
