Stacey
This cottage is really beautiful very clean and tidy. It really helped that we had glorious weather all week so we could make us of the balcony.
terry
The cottage was absolutely amazing and provided us both with the correct level of relaxation. Location and views from the balcony are breathtaking all mixed in with an air of peaceful silence has made this break one to remember. We intend to rebook this location over the next 12 months.. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful lodge TerRead morery & Bo Hide
Sharon
The most peaceful home to stay in. The hot tub and the sun loungers and furniture on the balcony made this a very relaxing base for looking around North Devon- be aware that that the lovely setting is quite a drive from the coast. Deer lodge is very well equipped with lovely bed linen, thick baths towels (need bath mats though) and great kitchen eqRead moreuipment. We felt very comfortable and at home and would definitely recommend Deer Lodge. Hide
Clare
This is a beautiful lodge. We stayed as a family and loved it. The large hot tub is off to the side and a great asset. The pool is so close and was generally empty. It is remote location, which is a great hideaway. Be prepared to drive a while if you want to go anywhere. We had a few days out and few days relaxing there. Great basics are in the lodRead morege/kitchen. Lounge has a huge tv upstairs. Id recommend taking toilet roll, washing up materials, bin bags and foil/oil if cooking. Hide
Christine
Lovely lodge, beautiful surroundings and everything we needed was there.
Carl
Great accommodation in a fantastic location with the added bonus of a large hot tub.
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.
