The Lodge is an immaculate, well equipped, very pretty property in a quiet, peaceful location. It has everything you need, and is cleverly designed with ample parking. The garden is beautiful. The location is close to Barnstaple and in easy reach of all the delights of North Devon, beautiful coastline, beaches, the Tarka trail and pretty villages. We had a brilliant time even in February- there was plenty to explore and it was lovely to return to a cosy cottage for an evening by the woodburner!...

Mrs Hopkins April 2023
We enjoyed our stay at the Lodge very much. The garden was beautifully laid out with plants and shrubs and also secure for our four legged friend. The balcony seating area was a sun trap to watch the birds and other visitors to the garden (Pheasant). The Lodge was very well equipped with attention to detail. Also close to beaches, Appledore and Instow in particular and with Tapley Park and gardens close by which was also worth a visit. The welcome treats were also well received....

We wanted a break away after a pretty stressful few months,and spotted The Lodge,which was where we wanted to be, after probably 50+ years since we'd been in the Bideford/Westward Ho/Barnstaple area.The Lodge fulfilled all expectations and was comfortable,quiet and really well appointed,with the extra bonus of a really beautiful garden and terrace area,unfortunately our week was pretty soggy and windy,but it didn't detract from our stay,after all it was November.I can definately recommend it,it was a good find.We didn't meet Claire,but she kept in touch to make sure all was OK....
