  Wow what an absolute Gem of a place we came as a group of 7 over 3 generations and this suited everyone of us!

  We hadn’t travelled far (30 minutes) due to grandparents not being able to drive far but it definitely felt like a million miles away. Lots of beautiful places to visit on Dartmoor Widcombe in the moor, Hay Tor, Buckfast Abby just a few to name! The lodge was absolutely stunning and plenty of space the kitchen and open plan living/dining area was great everyone enjoyed cooking together and we even did some baking the kitchen is well equipped with everything you possibly needed our kids enjoyed the snug lounge as well they was plenty of cards board games to choose from. the log burner was ample amount of heating (we turned the radiators down) Our 2 dogs loved the outside garden all fenced in and plenty of room for them to have a mooch around. The hot tub was superb and the fairy lights around the fence was beautiful we sat out quite late a few nights just star gazing and listening to the owl. Jo and Max made us all feel very welcome right from the start with a wonderful hamper and messaged me after the first night to see how we were and if anything was needed and very kindly kept our logs stocked up! We all would definitely recommend this wonderful place to stay we all fell in love with it and it ticked every box plus more!!!! We are actually looking at dates for next year Thanks again Jo & Max in your hospitality from all of us!

  I am sorry but this is supposed to be pet friendly but apart from a small garden the only other walk is the drive.

  To take you dog for a walk you have to drive unless you like to walk single lane roads. The hot tub is under power probably not maintained properly. the tv in the front room is on its last legs. the property itself is not clean there are cobwebs everywhere they have been in place for a long time as they are covered in dust. the sofa if you lift the cushions well that has not been cleaned for months. They do not even move them to clean under them, the bathroom floor is in poor condition very near ready to replace, the cabinet in the bathroom has not been cleaned for a long time. For what is supposed to be luxury accommodation has slowly been left to deteriorate. I would not go back or recommend it to anyone. If this sounds unfair then you are looking at what it should be as we saw it first a lovely property but the longer you are there the more you see that has not been maintained or cleaned.

  The lodge is in a very ideal location for exploring Dartmoor, Torbay and the rest of South Devon.

  We didn't meet many of the staff but the ones we did meet were very friendly and helpful. This is probably the cleanest place we've ever stayed at. Everything was spotless and felt brand new. It looks exactly like the photos on the site. The double bed was a little uncomfortable though and also the pillows. WiFi was very good - no issues streaming. The showers were great. The kitchen was very well equipped. The cupcakes left for us were amazing! There were 4 of us in total (2 adults, 2 children) plus our dog. Unfortunately we decided to leave a couple of days early before the arrival of Storm Ciaran but we would definitely return to this site and would highly recommend it.

  We had a lovely stay in this wonderful house.

  The house has everything you could want and everyone commented how comfortable their beds were too! Nice and quiet and a nice view of the village from the front windows. We were holidaying with grandparents, children and two dogs and it worked well for everyone. The housekeeper was really lovely and accommodating also. It took us a while to get used to the roads as they are very narrow and steep immediately around the property but so long as you are aware and careful all is well. We ventured out everyday and enjoyed visiting the local area and Dawlish, Teignmouth, Torquay and Paignton. Overall a good week despite the great British weather!!

  The house is lovely but we were taken aback by the approach road and parking.

  This was definitely a negative for us. The kitchen could do with a thorough clean as there were cobwebs everywhere. The shower and toilet on the first floor makes an alarming noise when used, presumably this is a Saniflow system. The shower does not drain well either. There was a smell of sewage from the drains. Whilst at the property I received notification from Sykes that the cost of renting this property was reduced for future bookings, which I found rather annoying, having paid full price. We enjoyed being in Lustleigh and will probably return in future, but not to Oakhurst.
