With its tastefully furnished interior and thoughtful amenities, this lodge offers a warm and welcoming home-away-from-home experience.

Step into the inviting living room, a bright and spacious area featuring two cosy sofas, a TV with Sky, and a DVD player - ideal for relaxing and spending quality time together. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious meals, which you can enjoy around the dining table. A handy downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, you’ll find two double bedrooms with queen-size beds, each with its own en-suite bathroom featuring a shower over the bath.

You’ll be in the heart of 'Tarka country,' filled with outdoor activities and scenic beauty. Enjoy leisurely walks along the River Taw, starting right from your doorstep through the forest trails. The village of High Bickington offers a Post Office, two charming pubs where you can relax over a meal or a drink, and a local golf course for those who enjoy a round of golf in the countryside.

Nearby quaint villages are brimming with independent shops, cozy inns, and farm shops offering local delicacies. A short drive will take you to Great Torrington, a historic town known for its artisan shops and Dartington Glassworks, where you can watch glassblowers craft stunning pieces. The town also features the RHS Garden Rosemoor, a beautiful place for nature lovers to wander through spectacular gardens.

Barnstaple, North Devon’s main town, is within easy reach and offers a variety of shops, restaurants, and cultural spots. North Devon’s coastline is just a 30-minute drive away. Enjoy a day out at Instow beach, ideal for long walks and picnics, or visit the lively seaside resort of Westward Ho!, known for its expansive sandy beach and surf-friendly waves. The historic port town of Bideford and the breathtaking North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) offer even more opportunities for scenic drives, coastal hikes, and visits to hidden coves and sandy beaches.

Good accommodation - in the middle of nowhere

All good with every need catered for.Bedrooms good size and great to have ensuite for each.All necessary equipment in the kitchen but disappointing to realise no wifi available and in this day and age it seems essential.We also didnt realise it was quite so far from the village - good 30 mins walk along main roads with no pavements. Also with the current tick problem it wasnt great for walks with the dog - until we discovered the Community fields and woods on our last day.
Stayed 6 nights in May 2025

Lovely Scenery

Lovely quiet location. There for a family birthday so had 3 chalets on the site. Good space downstairs for us all plus the dog. Bedrooms are a good size. Kitchen lacked cooking utensils, pots & pans were oily & sticky, as was the kitchen floor, mopped it after we unpacked. Water was filthy. Lack of cleaning supplies, weren’t camping so didn’t take the kitchen sink. Mop & bucket had seen better days. 1shower head didn’t fit the holder so dropped down. Ashtray on the Juliette balcony over flowing with fags & ash.
