Very stylish and spotlessly clean lodge. Great to have a hot tub and sun loungers together with table and chairs outside for sunny days. Good location for touring north Devon but disappointing it wasnt safe to walk to the pub due to busy road. Nice to have welcome gifts on arrival.

A great place to stay to explore North Devon - ideal location for Croyde, Illfracombe and Woolacombe beaches. The cottage itself is modern, clean and very comfortable; it has everything you need for a week away. After exploring during the day we really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub under the stars with a couple of glasses of fizz. Jordan is a fan tastic host, shortly after we arrived he came to the cottage to check everything was OK for us and helped us out with a baby bath & highchair.
