The en suite wet-room is down a couple of steps from the main bedroom.
This is the other double bedroom, just as calming and comfortable as the master.
There is a door to the patio so you can lie in bed, and let the fresh morning air and the sound of birdsong in.
You will start each day relaxed and refreshed.
The newly refurbished bathroom is stunning.
A super spacious and modern bathroom awaits. Perfect for unwinding in after a full day of adventure.
The living-room has a choice of wonderfully comfortable reclining chairs, with a wood-burning stove for out-of-season evenings.

What a fabulous spot to enjoy a glass of something tasty.
More treats to make the most of your stay here.

DoubleMount Pleasant Lodge is set in the most stunning gardens in east Devon’s Blackdown Hills – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty above Honiton and an easy drive from the Jurassic Coast.
Offering complete privacy, the semi-detached accommodation is light and contemporary, looking out over the owners’ beautifully maintained extensive grounds which include wildlife ponds, wildflower marsh areas and peaceful woodlands – these gardens are absolutely intended for guests to enjoy, and you are welcome to move the garden furniture around as you please - there are so many vistas to enjoy. Mount Pleasant Lodge offers you your own secluded patio-area as well, where you can have enclosed space if that suits your dog best.
Inside, the Lodge is beautifully presented and exceptionally spacious, with a welcoming wood-burner and WiFi access, this is definitely a place for all seasons. There is a fabulous kitchen/dining-room overlooking the gardens, steps up to the sitting-room, with a further glazed door to the garden, and two double bedrooms are beyond. The king-size room has an en suite wet-room and the family bathroom also has a super shower.
This area is excellent walking country, and there is plenty to explore along country lanes and the network of footpaths that link the hamlets and villages nearby.
Just a short drive away, the renowned Ashill Inn offers real ales, excellent food and a friendly atmosphere, whilst having the added bonus of being dog-friendly too. For the adventurous try a session at the local gliding club just down the road – you will certainly get some panoramic views of the hills that way!
The stunning Jurassic Coast is a very easy drive – you can join it at regency Sidmouth just the other side of Honiton, but don't miss Budleigh Salterton, Beer and Branscombe.
