About this property
Escape to the countryside in this delightful lodge just outside the market town of Hatherleigh. The romantic retreat is a great base for outdoor enthusiasts, with walks to explore within the grounds and fishing on the nearby lakes (additional costs apply). Dartmoor National Park is just over 10 miles from the property, and you can also enjoy days at the seaside in Bude (19.5 miles) and Westward Ho! (23.5 miles).
The detached lodge is bright and airy, with dual-aspect windows framing beautiful countryside views. The main living area is decorated in a contemporary style and comprises a lounge/kitchen/diner. Create delicious dinners for two at the sleek kitchen area to share at the cute dining table by the window, before sinking into one of the sumptuous sofas to read a book or catch up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV. When the day is done, retire to the charming king-size bedroom for a good night’s sleep. A separate bathroom completes this rural bolthole. Outside, soak up the sunshine on the decked terrace and take in your peaceful surroundings. Guests are also welcome to explore the walking trails around the nearby lakes.
The quaint market town of Hatherleigh is 3.5 miles away and has a handful of local shops and two cosy pubs. Further afield, the bustling town of Okehampton has a good range of shops and restaurants, and is also known as the northern gateway to Dartmoor National Park. Many popular walking trails start/end in the town, including The Granite Way which leads to one of Dartmoor’s most iconic beauty spots, Lydford Gorge. Heading to the coast, you’ll soon reach the popular resort of Bude, with its sandy beaches, clifftop paths and traditional seaside shops and eateries.

The lodge was lovely and the area was so peaceful. The bed was so comfortable and it had everything we needed. It would have been helpful to have a mop and bucket. It just felt like it was cleaned.

Best sleep had in a while, bed comfy. Heating was efficient and hot water/shower was very good. No welcome pack as per other cottages/lodges. Nice and quiet. Random dog roaming free pooing and diarrhoea on grass around lodge. It did have a collar and rules are dogs on leads! Entry through the patio door needed cleaning. The threshold was covered in black dog hair. No seal to the side door.

A bit out in the sticks a lot of driving to get to Devon’s main attractions but the lodge was lovely.
