About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Dog Friendly Country Lodge

Set in rural Devon, amoungst rolling hills and working farms. Our comfortable timber clad lodge sleeps four, with a double and a twin room.
Enclosed in it's own courtyard/garden, with offroad parking. In the rear garden there is a hot tub, garden dinning table & chairs. Also a metal shed storing bins and recycling boxes, as well as the BBQ. There is enough spare space in there for a couple of pushbikes too.
Easily accessed from the A30 and the M5 is only ten minutes away, but far enough away for the peace and quiet of rural life.
The local village of Cheriton Bishop has a pub, a doctors surgery, a well stocked village store, post office and off licence.

On arrival you will find waiting for you a tempting Devon Cream Tea

Beautiful holiday home in the countryside
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely holiday home. Tucked away in a private area, all we could hear were the birds and and occasional moo from a cow :-) We arrived to a clean accomodation with well made beds and blankets for extra snugness. The kitchen is well equiped, theres plenty of cupboard space for food shopping, and a nice little table to eat dinner at. The lounge is in the centre of the property making this a lovely sociable holiday home. The garden is clean and well kept and the hot tub was a real asset, lovely and hot and was a real treat. I would highly reccomend to stay here, the hosts left a lovely cream tea for our arrival, and sugar, coffee, tea and milk so we could make a cuppa after our journey there. Lots of dvds and games to entertain our children, nothing at all to grumble about! Also I loved the fact there was a decent hoover :-) Towels were also provided and we wanted for nothing, would give this place a 10/10 Thank you for letting us be your guests x

A lovely getaway with kind hosts
We chose this property for its jacuzzi and a secure private garden for our reactive dog. The jacuzzi was lovely, especially on a sunny evening. It was checked daily which meant going out or shutting the dog in at these times. The mattresses on the singles were not comfortable enough for my teenagers to use but the hosts kindly replaced them the same day as I contacted them. Our hunting-obsessed ex street dog was very happy to hunt in the garden all day. However, the enclosed garden is not secure and he escaped multiple times. There are two neighbouring new build houses which are currently empty but there is the potential for serious consequences once these are occupied. There is also a hudden stretch of barbed wire fencing in the bushes which was dangerous for the dog. The adjacent semi secure grassy field was great for dog walks. A car is needed here but lots is availablea short drive away. We enjoyed the Water park near Brixham, walking around the Castle Drogo area, GoApe and pottery painting near Exeter and the seaside. Okehampton is a nice village for a mooch too. Overall, a lovely barn conversion in a great area of the country. Once the garden is made safe and fully secure, it will be a haven of tranquility for dog owning guests.

We had a lovely relaxing stay. Rachel was great and took on board our suggestion about the patio as the gravel hurt our dog's feet. Looking forward to seeing the improvement when we return. Hot tub was perfect overall a wonderful time away.

Lovely little cottage
My husband , our puppy and I , stayed in this cute cottages for our 25th aniversary. Helen and Rachel were lovely,descrete, , and they were so sweet about our dog . They left us a bottle of wineas a present Hot tub was lovely. I saw deer everyday from the footpath next to the cottage. Location is nestled in the heart of this beautiful county: within 30 minutes of lidford gorge and fingle Bridge. Only down side was the garden was not secure, so puppy was a little restricted( he likes hours of independant garden time). However didn't spoil our stay, great value and we loved our longweekend, thank you 😊

Lovely little cottage
We were very pleased with the cottage when we arrived. The children had lots of fun in the hot tub and the cream tea waiting for us was delicious. We enjoyed a pony ride and a very nice meal in a put a short drive away. However, the weather was not on our side so we left early. A shame as there was a lot to do near by if the weather had been better. One thing to be aware if travelling with children - once they are awake, you will be awake as the cottage is compact and the walls thin. Definitely would recommend though as is a lovely place.

Amazing
We've been there in March, and had an amazing time. The cottage is absolutely wonderful. Made us feel like home from the first moment we've entered it. It was clean and warm. Something about that place, made us feel welcomed. We had a lovely surprise to be welcomed with scones, cream and jam, which we truly thank for, to the host. The hot tub was amazing. Overall, a place we would recommend to anyone, and we've already booked the next holiday there 😁

Disappointed
Couldn’t have a door or window open as there were too many flies car would be covered in them when we went out, couldn’t sleep in the beds as they were too uncomfortable and on the second day the toilet broke and we had to use it by putting our hand in the cistern to pull the the ball up for it to work and this was still the same when we left even though we had reported it to the people who owned it
