Property code: 89216

This delightful lodge chalet is the perfect romantic retreat and benefits from stunning views from the terrace and private hot tub. You can spend the days and evenings spotting local wildlife and viewing fabulous sunsets. You are just 3 miles from the cathedral city of Exeter with its wide range of amenities, including restaurants, shops and bars. The property is ideally located for exploring Dartmoor National Park, with parts of the park accessible within 15 miles. The Devon coast, including the English Riviera (27 miles) at Torbay and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site at Exmouth (13.5 miles), is well worth touring.

 As you enter the lodge from its terraced balcony, you’ll find it difficult to turn away from the mesmerising countryside views. Inside, you’ll be welcomed into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining space, with its well-equipped kitchen with gas hob, fridge, microwave and sliding doors. Settle down onto the comfortable sofa and watch the TV whilst occasionally glancing at the gorgeous countryside views through the doors. When nighttime comes, move through to the rear of the lodge, where the double bedroom with en-suite shower room and WC awaits.

Outside, there is a private hot tub to spend your evenings soaking aching muscles. Enjoy some al fresco dining or your favourite tipple at the bistro set on the terrace area.

Lovely location. Beautiful views. Perfect for a relaxing break. Kitted out and had everything needed for a mini break. We throughly enjoyed a break away from the hustle and bustle and made our 20th anniversary memorable. One thing to note is be aware of the distance between the car and lodge as you may struggle with heavy suitcases or bags down theRead more stoney path. Hide

Cottage was really lovely and homey, we felt quite comfortable and loved the hot tub! It was only a 10-15 minute drive to town so everything was quite close-by which was nice and convenient. Surroundings were very nice and quiet and a great view.

Really nice little cottage, and the hot tub was nice as well. The bed and sofa aren't the comfiest, but we were tired enough to sleep just fine. Not a whole lot to do nearby, but luckily we found plenty of walks to do. The view is to die for, incredibly pretty and a great break from city life.

I really enjoyed my stay over Christmas and will definitely want to return when in need of some quiet and relaxation. My only tips for other guests is to bring your own towels if you're staying more than a few days and a drying rack as there isn't one provided. It's useful to bring a slow cooker and/or an air fryer depending on what you will be eatRead moreing whilst there. If you're fussy about pillows, bring yours from home and your favourite cosy blanket too for extra comfort in the evenings. Hide

There was 2 things that come to mind whilst staying, number 1- somewhere to store clothes in the bedroom like a small dresser. Number 2- there's a small gap underneath where the kettle is for a clothes horse that would definitely come in handy to air out towels and bathing costumes. It's an amazing location would love to come back again in the futuRead morere. Thanks Rebecca and Tom Davis. Hide

Overall a nice little get away despite the weather. The sofa is uncomfortable. Towels provided very small would be nice to have some larger ones. Best to bring your own. Very happy with how clean it was including the hot tub. No oven but good idea to bring an air fryer if wanting to make meals. Host very friendly and excellent communication.
