Deer Lodge Reviews

Elaine
The lodge was absolutely fantastic really comfortable and well thought out, everything we needed was there, and the hot tub topped it off. Really quite location. We had a great stay.
Chelsey
Peaceful setting, very spacious property. The balcony was the perfect setting to watch the sunrise, and hot tub was a great place to unwind. Advice would be to bring toilet roll, bin bags, cleaning products as these were sparsely supplied. Although very peaceful, it is in the middle of nowhere and a 30-60 minute drive to any supermarket or days outRead more. Recommendations include Chumleigh Tandoori takeaway if you dont fancy cooking (15min drive) and Westward Ho! Beach (especially with a pup!) Hide
Peter
Lovely Lodge. Still very new. Certainly had everything you need on a stay away from home. Would definately recommend it for the scenery and restful location. Great place for a holiday base.
Michelle
Cottage is very remote at the top of the valley and scenery is beautiful. If you want peace and quiet for relaxation and recharge place is idyllic. The hot tub is to the side of the cottage and perfect for privacy. Beds are very comfortable and is well decorated and equipped for self catering. If you want a lovely Sunday dinner book at the Clubhous e at Labbaton Golf Club, very nice and well priced. A visit to Instow beach is also lovely. Definitely stay again for a peaceful scenic break
Paul
Lovely accommodation and almost brand new. Very spacious and lovely views. The jacuzzi was big and also brand new.
