Monterey Lodge Reviews

Valentinas
Very warm and cosy!
Natasha
Had a lovely stay in a lovely cabin, fabulously remote, quiet and restful location. The weather was great too, which helped & it was just what we needed, Thank you! The birds, other wildlife and stars are lovely from the deck and the hot tub! To note, the deck and garden are not dog secure, so you'll need to take long leads to attach to a deck postRead more if you wish to relax outside as dogs can get to the whole site/neighbours if roaming free. Would thoroughly recommend! Hide
Alison
Very secluded spot - a bit too secluded for us. The lodge had all the bedding youd need and towels for normal use and hot tub use. The kitchen was well equipped. Vast majority of the time the Wi-Fi was good too. We were a party of 6 (4 adults, a child and a baby) and it felt a bit cramped but the weather was poor when we stayed so couldnt use outsiRead morede as much as wed have liked. There is supposed to be areas for off lead walking of dogs but we couldnt find it. Hide
Kevin
The Lodge itself was very comfortable and very private and well equipped, but the surrounding area and decking are in much need of maintenance as very tired looking. You must be prepared for driving down narrow lanes. The walks from the lodge are very difficult to find as again are overgrown.
Christine
Great setting for peace and quiet, the hot tub was fabulous. I would recommend the village pub for classy food, the chip shop also brilliant. We would go again, the location was close to unspoilt seaside beaches, and charming towns.
Kinga
A very quiet and peaceful place
zara
2nd visit as its a lovely lodge, well equipped and good location. Our dogs loved it.
Richard
Lovely location, place is a little dated but very comfortable. If you like bird watching you'll really enjoy your time here. I like the hands off approach with the keys left in a safe box and not being disturbed by owners checking in like I have experienced at other places. The prices is reasonable and if your lucky enough to be there when the neigRead morehbouring cabins are empty it's extremely peaceful Hide
Vilma
Cottage very nice we liked everything
Maria

Angela
Lovely lodge in a quie,t peaceful setting. Excellent hot tub. Lack of dog walks within walking distance of lodge but OK for weekend stay
Janice
My family enjoyed the surroundings, peace and quiet, fantastic lodge, home from home . Great for exploring the coast and coves of Devon and Cornwall, beautiful area will book again
Dawn
We loved our stay! So clean and everything thought of. A real home from home. Hot tub was great also
Matt
Beautiful lodge real home from Home with lovely special touches. The Jacuzzi in particular was amazing and worth every penny the location and peace and quiet was exactly what we needed.
Heidi
A lovely place to recharge and slow down. The property is beautifully kept and very welcoming, the owners have thought of everything. If you value beauty and tranquility this is the place for you! Heidi.
Linda
The location was fabulous for a really quiet time. No traffic or people. Lovely veranda all around surrounded by trees. Inside very large and beds very comfortable. The hot tub was to die for and my son loved the BBQ.
Mark
Beautiful location with fantastic wildlife on your doorstep.A little off the beaten track but barring that well worth a visit.
Bryony
Wonderful hideaway in rural Devon. Well equipped, comfortable beds (we are very fussy about beds), and close enough to be on a beach or to a supermarket within half an hour. We loved the peace and the patchy WiFi meant we all totally unplugged and recharged (even our grungy teenager)! Half an hour to Bude and slightly less to Bideford. Highly recom mend Monterey Lodge and expect we will book again for future years.
Claire
What a beautiful lodge situated in the tranquility of Devons countryside, but close enough to be able to get around to some fantastic locations such as Bude and Westward Ho! We loved that we could simply chill out at the lodge and enjoy the surroundings and the luxury of the hot tub! The lodge is perfectly kitted out and we had some great family me als around the table and out on the deck!
debbie
We had an amazing week even though the weather was up & down as youd expect in late March. The cottage was lovely & homely & very warm & had everything youd need in the kitchen for your stay. The hot tub was very well used & watching the wildlife with a cider in your hand was great. Yes the roads going to & from the cabin are country roads but it a dds to the experience when you arrive.
Bridget
Amazing little jem of a place in the wilds of Devon. Clean ,comfortable, everything you need to hand. The amount of wildlife you see daily is wonderful. So humbling. Hot tub was amazing. Highly recommend... 10 out of 10.
Courtney
Lovely, clean lodge - perfect if you want to go off-grid for a while. The kids loved finding the dragons and reptiles in the gardens and playing on the trampoline and swing. When we arrived, the hot tub was hot and bubbling, which was a pleasant surprise, as I thought we'd have to wait for it to warm up. Just be careful on the decking when wet as tRead morehe kids slipped over. Great if you want to get away from it all. Hot water ran out on our third day. Hide
Karen
This was a gem of a find. If you don't mind being a little remote you will love this place. Having said that, you are only a short distance from beautiful beaches in both Devon and Cornwall. The lodge itself has everything you need. Lovely open plan kitchen/diner/lounge and large decking area outside. We spent a few evenings in the hot tub which wa s an absolute bonus. All in all, a great place to stay and would definitely return.
Janet
Lovely stay. Relaxing holiday & hot tub brilliant after day out. Have to be confident driver as quite cut off and narrow lanes to get to lodge but all part of the holiday.
Jane
Peaceful location, winding lanes to access. Perhaps a little tired in places but lovely setting to spend times with family and friends. Veranda was superb although the heatwave curbed some use, dogs loved it. Would be helpful to have more local dog walk ideas.
Richard
Great lodge and location. Nice and clean with the bonus of a hot tub. Would recommend to anyone who wants a nice quiet holiday in Devon. It's a great base to explore the Northern coast of Devon and Cornwall.
Janine
The lodge is in an idyllic location, surrounded by trees and wildlife. Really comfortable and everything you could need for a fantastic family holiday. We had an amazing time and the hot tub is an absolute bonus. Completely recommend this as a holiday destination for anyone who wants peace and quiet and a relaxing break away.
Kevin
My husband and I loved everything about the lodge. hot tub and and beautiful walks with our dog. The road leading to the lodges is not that bad if you take it slow. Going again hopefully. If you love peace and quiet I would recommend this lodge.
Danielle
What an absolutely, stunning, little lodge! It was just perfect. Everything was so homely like that you didnt want to go out. The surroundings are beautiful. Youre so perfectly distanced from the other properties youre not over looked or feeling cramped. The lodge had everything you needed, I cant get over the kitchen and all that was there. We onl y ate out once because we wanted to enjoy the lodge. Its a nice little sun catcher. Lovely area if youre looking for relaxation.
Sharon
Beautiful lodge - perfect for a away holiday anytime of year! Clean, comfortable and you can tell it is well loved by the owners. Beautiful little homely touches. We visited on a cold and wet weekend but inside was warm and cosy!
Lynn
Lovely, warm, well equipped lodge. 4 adults and 2 children, We had a lovely stay. Isolated but plenty of activities in the surrounding areas. Hot tub was a hit.
Wayne
The lodge was very well equipped, it had everything we needed to relax and cater for ourselves for the week. The contactless handover is a great idea, no checking in procedure etc was good. I would struggle to stay for a week with six people I think it would be cramped but for the two of us and our dog it was brilliant. Access roads arent car frien dly but I guess you have no control over that
Tracey
Incredibly beautiful, peaceful & very clean lodge. Wished we had booked longer. The dogs loved the walks. Fantastic view of the stars. Worth feeding the birds & wildlife. Hot tub was fabulous especially in colder evenings. Well equipped, very comfortable & so relaxing. The access road is more of a track road so would not recommend using a low profi le wheeled vehicle. Worth visiting: Local garden centre, quince bee farm, Northam beach, Boscastle & RiverSide cafe / The Bank bistro in Barnstable.
Louise
The cabin is clean, cosy, and comfortable. The brilliant hot tub kept both kids and adults entertained, as did the local wildlife which included lots of birds and squirrels. The heating is effective and easy to use. The cabin is not easy to drive to, with lots of very single track roads, so if you are a nervous driver it may stress you out. But the peace and seclusion once you are there is outstanding.
