Facilities and living space was great for a family of 5 of all ages. If we were staying for longer we would have appreciated a washing machine / clothes airer to help to dry clothes. Struggled to get the shower water temperature right but we managed, the pressure was great!

The lodge is really sweet and was clean and cosy ready for our arrival! The views are amazing and itâs such a peaceful location. The garden is fully enclosed so we could let our little pooch wander about without worrying about her dashing after a rabbit into the great beyond! It was lovely to have breakfast and watch the blue tits etc feeding close by and the horses in the fields below. We really did just relax and unwind! Itâs a great location for exploring the scenery. We visited Lyme Regis, Exmouth & did some lovely coastal walks. The cooker & microwave came in handy for cooking simple dinners. The essentials were there in the kitchen such as W/up liquid, dishwasher tablets/ T-towel (but only the one)/dishcloth & sponge, also the kitchen had various saucepans bowls/spoons & equipment youâd need. The only think I missed was a jug to measure the stock for the Risotto I cooked. The owner was really nice & responsive and supplied fresh towels for the bathroom later in the week when requested, and answered our questions about closest supermarket. The only thing extra I would have liked is hand towels for the kitchen & extra for the bathroom, but the owner is so nice Iâm sure he would have dropped some off if Iâd asked. I would definitely like to return! I am missing the tranquility of the setting as I type
