This fabulous, wonderful , cosy cottage for two cannot be bettered. Everything about it was perfect. We spent a week in very hot sun, relaxing in the stunning garden or cooling off in the thick walled cottage itself. In the evenings we visited a number of lovely, local places to eat. Not far from the sea and areas of natural beauty. Can’t wait to visit again. ...

Beautiful Cottage and gardens just like it looks in the photos. Everything was catered for with great quality facilities. Lovely touch by the owners leaving us a ‘welcome pack’. We would definitely stay in this property again.
Mr Holden October 2021
We had a lovely week's stay at The Lodge. Very comfortable holiday in a historic building. Would definitely consider another stay. Visited Mortehoe, Westward Ho! We also went to Castle Hill Gardens and unbelievably we were the only visitors that day so had the place to ourselves....but the gardens with their specimen trees, plants, stream, follies, vistas etc are really well, well worth a visit....

We had a fantastic holiday at The Lodge and enjoyed the garden and amenities. The owners had left very thoughtful touches and the cleanliness and decor was excellent. A relaxing and lovely break.

This cottage is a joy set in a lovely garden which is fully enclosed and just perfect for our Cocker Spaniel. The unexpected welcome pack of scones, clotted cream, wine and ice cream amongst other goodies found in the kitchen was much appreciated. Spotlessly clean and with a good supply of quality china, glass etc. preparing meals in the kitchen area was easy with everything to hand. Whilst afterwards, a gentle stroll from the door to the local church with our old dog proved relaxing and peaceful especially returning to a glass of wine on the verandah with its view to the hills. What more could we want. Our only negatives were the fact that live t.v. channels appear to be severely limited and the lack of a phone or mobile connection in the cottage did make contacting the owners very difficult when we had an early morning water leak - a walk up the hill to get reception was not funny. However they quickly fixed it as soon as they knew about it. They were also very helpful with local knowledge and advice. I would suggest you bring an insect repellant as the gnats and mosquitoes in the bedroom seem to appear from nowhere even when the door is closed. Despite the negatives the cottage is so welcoming I would definitely like to stay again in the future. ...
