  3 things required, internet, smart tv and Newley renovated. All not as advertised , we are Currently in dispute with the owner over a ruined Christmas week stay. Before arriving I had read the last review on the no internet, therefore I was fixated on this on arrival. When we arrived, the BT box is blinking orange, The internet doesn’t work, I ended up calling the owner to address the router issue, her response was simply to “turn it off and on again.” Explained one had done this ample times. Well nothing I can do was the response. Therefore I went through the booking company, who couldn’t get her to take responsibility either—she just washed her hands of the situation. I should have asked to be released but as it was Christmas, we had a disabled dog & travelled 4 hours. Where else am I going, so we tried to make the most of it. But Then you start to notice the building feels like it’s subsiding—you generally will feel like you’re walking on a boat, extremely slanted floors and all the doors slam shut on their own. Most of the walls, doors, and ceilings have cracks, the description stating this place “newly renovated” is very misleading, they even tried to say “it’s just settlement” after the makeover. We also ran out of gas half way through , luckily we noticed in the day and it got replaced quickly. Otherwise no heating or hot water. Our last few nights, we had violent scratching and squealing in the roof above the fireplace, shower room and main bedroom, rats or birds? . With all the issues we had, we documented this daily to the booking company and they forwarded it to the owner. Who has completely dismissed our concerns and just keeps saying the last guests didn’t mind. Therefore I’m leaving this review to ensure no one else makes the mistake of staying here. If you need working internet and undisturbed sleep, make sure all these issues above have been resolved before booking.

  I think that the write up and photos just don’t do this property justice.

  It is not clear on your site that there is only the one hut in situ and that the hot tub was just for us to use. A number of huts we looked at before this property on your site made it clear that we would be sharing facilities. (Which we did not want) So we took a chance anyway that it was just going to be us and WOW it was amazing we had everything we could have wanted to escape. We were at the very end of a long drive through fields and were nested in beautiful opening, surrounded by fields to the sides as well as a large duck pond and in back of us was more fields and in front was the river Trent and more fabulous views of woods and fields. Which blow us away. We were made very welcome by our host who once we were set up left us to it. But was at the end of the phone to help which she did quickly and with a warm manner with the questions and help we needed. Once we were settled in we did not see anyone. It was one of the best experiences we have had and managed to relax and unwind from a busy lifestyle. The walls offered breathtaking views we walked for hours and only came across sleep, (who followed us up to the next gate very friendly!) cows (which enjoyed making us walk round them and as soon as we did they moved off the path lol) and one fish man who friendly chat and guidance to a pub. It you are thinking of escaping this is the place to go I cannot put into words just how amazing this place was a true hidden gem that you must added to your bucket list !!!

  We stayed in this property for 7 nights and felt completely at home.

  It's very spacious, light and airy. I'm really pleased for the good quality black out blinds, as I normally use a night mask. When we visited, it was very quite. Only a few other holiday homes where being used. This meant the balcony and hot tub felt very secluded. Its was a real pleasure watching the bats fly around, listening to the owls and star gazing! It was an added advantage having a washing machine and clothes airer. The house was well equipped with additional things like dog bowl, poo bags and dog treats. A welcome gift of milk, scones and clotted cream was a lovely touch. We had a small maintenance issue. However, after sending a text to the contact number, it quickly got sorted out within a couple of hours. I feel the only downside to this holiday area, is its very remote. Be prepared to drive everywhere. Even though the local pub is about 1 mile away, you need to walk down a fast windy road with no pavements or streetlights. As we were with our dog, this was just not an option. There is a beautiful walk on the other side of the road, through the woods. However, be prepared to climb some serious hills! I wouldn't visit the holiday homes because of the 'swimming pool'. I actually feel that the swimming pool area was an eye sore and would much better be made into a grassed area/garden/pond/water feature etc. However, this did not affect our stay and would definitely recommend staying.

  My husband and I and our two dogs had a wonderful stay at Hazelwood Lodge.

  The lodges are situated in a very secluded forest on a hill and has stunning views. The lodge itself is very clean and cosy. The upstairs living room/bar area is a lovely area to relax at night where you can watch TV and play pool. This leads out to the terrace and hot tub, which was filled and hot on arrival. We enjoyed sitting in there star gazing, I've never seen such bright stars! The lodge is surrounded by lovely dog friendly pubs, we visited the Exeter Inn and the Bell Inn, both around 10 minutes away, and both did lovely food, I'd highly recommend them. There's seems to be so many hidden gems in the surrounding area and we're looking forward to coming back to try more! We enjoyed lovely dog walks in Woolacombe beach and Watersmeet at Lynmouth, we also took a trip to Braunton which has lovely restaurants and shops. Most places we travelled were around 30 minutes away but the drives were very pretty, driving through countryside and by rivers and streams. Make sure you bring what you need as the nearest shop is a garage around 10 minutes drive away. It's a beautiful, quite, idyllic holiday retreat and we could not recommend it enough and look forward to returning again soon!

  Lovely property, well placed on complex, lovely welcome with radio on and scones, hot tub ready etc.

  Loved that dog was included. Initial communications confusing but confusion over wifi resolved quickly by Charlie. So in the end just about extra bed description which wasn't a worry for us and no bbq - shame but again we could manage. Found key ok. Really enjoyed our stay and be very happy to recommend to friends. Indeed we already have. I would have liked a bit more info about supermarkets/food options and we travelled for the pizza only to find we had to order and wait times were long, so a drag out for nothing. We had a great Sunday lunch at The Exeter Inn. Location was quite remote so we did have a drive to go to places. I would think you would have to be happy to stay in mostly without a car. Remote location and lack of polution was great for dark skies however which we did enjoy. I would have rated higher but for the price. Our only real disappointment was the pool which was cold and very shallow. We would probably have overlooked that if you could actually swim in it. Kids may be able to but I could not comfortably.
