It is true as everyone says that the proerty was quite dirty. Hot tub was dirty as well. Beautiful spot and easy to find.
Had a brilliant and relaxing stay! Slight difficulty finding the location but a quick text and call to The owner fixed that! The lodge it self was brilliant and had everything youd need for the stay. The landscape was picturesque and the local village was lovely to visit! Will absolutely be returning! T
The views from the cabin were beautiful & the area is really nice, perfect if you want a quiet weekend away. Would 100 recommend, especially the hot tub! Great weekend worth the money
Lovely static caravan in a really picturesque spot next to a wooded area. Hot tub is a good size and everything in the caravan works as you'd expect. Wifi good enough to stream TV and the local pub is dog friendly. Some reviews complained about cleanliness, which was definitely not the case, it's just not a brand new caravan! Would definitely come again.
We got upgraded to Primrose and it was excellent.
Lodge was in a dilapidated condition with cupboard doors off the hinges, bedframes broken, doors not closing properly. Cobwebs and dusty overall. Do Sykes check if the property is in a fit condition before listing it??? Wifi and TV signal was on and off. Hot tub was dirty filled with bugs, leaves. Terrible state, very unhappy.
Richard
Original property was too wet so owner called and offered a free upgrade. Communication was excellent, really helpful. Location is beautiful and accommodation was lovely. Definitely recommend.
Exe Valley Lodge has a beautiful setting. There are great views from its elevated position. The property is showing its age. It was comfortable but lacked some minor details like oven gloves,washing up liquid and scourer,saucepan lids and hair dryer. Better signage from the road needed. The hot tub was a bonus as it didnt appear on our booking.
Stephen
We had a very relaxing break. Considering the circumstances great value. Beautiful views. Would gladly stay again. Cheers
