The location is appreciated for its tranquility and natural surroundings, ideal for a quiet getaway. The owner, Tracey, is commended for her welcoming nature, and the property offers walking trails that are a hit with pet owners.

There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.

The location is described as quiet and lovely, though one review notes it is a bit remote, requiring some driving to reach Devon's main attractions.

The lodge is mentioned as newly renovated, suggesting a comfortable interior. However, a suggestion to bring a fan indicates that it may get hot inside.

While the reviews mention the presence of walking trails and a lake, there is insufficient detail to accurately score the facilities and maintenance.

No gifts or special thoughtful touches are mentioned in the reviews, so this category cannot be scored. However, the owner's welcoming nature could be seen as a thoughtful aspect of the guest experience.

About this property

Escape to the countryside in this delightful lodge just outside the market town of Hatherleigh. The romantic retreat is a great base for outdoor enthusiasts, with walks to explore within the grounds and fishing on the nearby lakes (additional costs apply). Dartmoor National Park is just over 10 miles from the property, and you can also enjoy days at the seaside in Bude (19.5 miles) and Westward Ho! (23.5 miles).

The detached lodge is bright and airy, with dual-aspect windows framing beautiful countryside views. The main living area is decorated in a contemporary style and comprises a lounge/kitchen/diner. Create delicious dinners for two at the sleek kitchen area to share at the cute dining table by the window, before sinking into one of the sumptuous sofas to read a book or catch up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV. When the day is done, retire to the charming king-size bedroom for a good night’s sleep. A separate bathroom completes this rural bolthole. Outside, soak up the sunshine on the decked terrace and take in your peaceful surroundings. Guests are also welcome to explore the walking trails around the nearby lakes.

The quaint market town of Hatherleigh is 3.5 miles away and has a handful of local shops and two cosy pubs. Further afield, the bustling town of Okehampton has a good range of shops and restaurants, and is also known as the northern gateway to Dartmoor National Park. Many popular walking trails start/end in the town, including The Granite Way which leads to one of Dartmoor’s most iconic beauty spots, Lydford Gorge. Heading to the coast, you’ll soon reach the popular resort of Bude, with its sandy beaches, clifftop paths and traditional seaside shops and eateries.

      A bit out in the sticks a lot of driving to get to Devon’s main attractions but the lodge was lovely.

    • Miss Millichamp

      Everything was good, maybe little pricey, lovely owners, lovely location lovely lake, I would suggest anyone that stays do bring your own little fan of some sorts as it can get hot inside there.
