Guests say

Posbury Lodge receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and comprehensive facilities, including a hot tub and games room. The property is well-equipped, with a secure garden ideal for pets and children. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches from the host, such as welcome baskets and personalised messages. Despite some comments on mobile coverage, the location is enjoyed for its peacefulness and countryside charm.

Reviewers consistently mention that the property is 'spotlessly clean' and 'scrupulously clean', indicating a very high standard of cleanliness throughout the cottage.

The location is described as peaceful and lovely, ideal for relaxation. However, one review mentions unstable Wi-Fi and mobile coverage, which suggests the remote countryside setting might not suit everyone's needs.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with mentions of 'cosy', 'comfortable beds', and a 'warm and cosy' atmosphere. The property seems to cater well to guests' comfort needs.

Facilities are highly praised, with multiple mentions of the well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, games room, and secure garden. The presence of an Aga and the provision of logs for the burner are also noted positively.

The host's thoughtfulness is frequently highlighted, with guests appreciating welcome baskets, homemade treats, and Christmas decorations. While these gestures are warmly received, it's important to note that such personal touches, although likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Crediton 2.9 miles. Settled in the Devon countryside on the outskirts of Dartmoor National Park, near Crediton is Posbury Lodge. This idyllic, dog-friendly thatched cottage benefits from a fantastic rural location, off-road parking for three cars, an enclosed garden with hot tub and furniture and four well-appointed bedrooms: perfect for families, friends or couples looking to explore the wonders of Devon. Cross the threshold and head straight into the sitting room where you can warm your feet by the crackling woodburning stove after a day full of exploration before heading to the fully-equipped kitchen to rustle up hearty meals for the whole family which you can enjoy around the dining table or alfresco, outside on the patio. Later enjoy a soothing soak in the bubbling hot tub as the stars begin to fill the sky before venturing into the ground-floor bathroom to wash off the day’s adventures. When sleep calls, choose from four thoughtfully presented bedrooms to catch up on your rest, there is a king-size and single completing the ground-floor and a double and twin completing the second. If you can tear yourself away from this tranquil dwelling head into the nearby market town of Crediton where you can stock up on essentials at the local supermarkets before enjoying a much-needed break from the kitchen at pubs including The Three Little Pigs or The Red Deer. The surrounding countryside has history woven throughout; tour the National Trust sites of Killerton, an elegant house with manicured gardens, Clyston Mill, a working Victorian flour mill overlooking the river or the Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life. Exeter lies nearby and houses a myriad of attractions including Northernhay Gardens, Belmont Park, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the unique network of underground, vaulted passageways under the city. Experience all this and more at Posbury Lodge.

Located in "Red Devon," an area of Devon famed for its characteristic red soil, which is of great agricultural quality and good for growing swedes, and 8.5 miles north-west of Exeter, the cathedral city. Here in Devon's rural landscape, ruby cattle graze peacefully in the undisturbed green pastures. There are numerous settlements spread out across the landscape, each with a cosy inn, a fully stocked general store, and hospitable locals. Crediton is home to a fantastic farmers' market, cutting-edge recreation facility, and numerous pubs that welcome families. Dartmoor National Park, with its many trails for hiking and horseback riding, is less than a 10-mile drive from Crediton. Likewise, the charming city of Exeter, with its theatres, stunning cathedral, shopping malls, and historic quay lined with waterfront cafes, antique shops, and bars, is less than a half-hour drive away.

  • Greg

    It was super well equipped and the hosts had thought of everything. There was absolutely nothing wanting. Beautiful cottage, beautiful views and we had an amazing week there. The kids and dogs loved the large enclosed garden and we all made great use of the hot tub. The place is super lovely and really felt like a home away from home. Amazing hosts and an amazing place. Highly recommend this place and we were all sad to leave.

    Owner thought of everything to make your stay really welcoming.

    The hot tub and games room an added bonus for the family to enjoy. We have stayed in many cottages over the years but this one is 100% better than others we've stayed in. The welcome pack and scones, jam and cream just lovely. Ruth the owner has thought of everything to make it home from home. We are hoping to return next year sometime as we enjoyed it so much.
