The lodge consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews describing it as spotless, tidy, and well-presented. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the owners.
The location is appreciated for its seclusion, quiet setting, and proximity to local amenities and attractions. However, the access road's poor condition with potholes is a recurring concern, slightly affecting the location's overall appeal.

The lodge is well-equipped and provides all necessary facilities for a pleasant stay. There are mentions of a welcome hamper and the lodge being well-maintained. However, a few minor suggestions for improvements, such as additional plug sockets and basic cleaning equipment, prevent a perfect score.

This timber clad, holiday lodge with pine vaulted ceilings and wooden floors, is light, bright and airy, and is situated adjacent to the owner’s farmhouse. The accommodation is all on the ground floor and comprises a living/dining area with a cosy electric ‘stove-effect’ fire for those cooler evenings, and a well-equipped kitchen should you decide to rustle up a meal or snack.

The village of Dunkeswell comprises the old quarter which is the prettier part with old cottages and the church, and the new area with modern houses and a shop.
Situated on the outskirts of the Dunkeswell airfield, a busy hub for light aircraft, flight training, wingwalking and skydiving.
The charming market town of Honiton is just 5 miles away and was made famous for its pottery and lace. The town is regarded as the antiques capital of the south west, and there are traditional street markets held here 3 days a week.
The ancient city of Exeter is within easy reach and worth a visit. Explore the city walls in the centre of town, whilst a visit to the Gothic cathedral and Norman castle is a must. Don’t miss the underground passages and tunnels that were used to house lead pipes bringing clean drinking water from natural springs into the city.

Spent a lovely two days here. The lodge is cosy and comfortable with good views. Sadly its the access road to the lodge that is a nightmare with numerous deep potholes, that made me glad we only stayed 2 days and would put me off returning.
