The lodge is very cosy and it has everything you need for your stay. It is in a very peaceful setting and the hot tub is a lovely relief after a day out. The garden is fully enclosed for the dogs. A lovely place to stay.
corrina
Excellent lodge, very well equipped, superbly clean. The owners are so friendly and helpful but by no means in your face. Lovely area to base yourself in for exploring Exmoor and the surrounding areas. We hope to be back when time allows.
Sylwia
The cottage was quite spacious and the location was peaceful. Not too far to the local shop, few minutes drive to Sainsbury's. Fully enclosed garden was secure for the dog. The owners were friendly and helpful. The only negative was that some of the equipments could do with replacing .
Marjorie
We enjoyed our stay. The weather was really beautiful, hot, so the hot tub didn't get a lot of use but was a really nice addition. It was very quiet, just the sound of the sheep. The owners were very nice and respected the privacy of the Lodge. We did find the double bed and sofa's a little uncomfortable and perhaps they have seen better days. The Read moreoutside seating consists of a table with attached benches so again these were quite uncomfortable for us . We did enjoy our holiday Hide
