Great Getaway
Just returned from a 3 night stay at this lodge out in the country. On arrival the lodge was very cold and being a cold mortal myself, we had put on all of the plug in radiators to warm up. The bathroom was particularly cold, but the whole lodge soon became cosy. Please note there is no central heating in the lodge. The host had left us 2 small scones with jam and clotted cream in the fridge, along with some milk, teabags and a small jar of sugar. There was also 2 rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom and a small amount of washing up liquid that just covered the 3 night stay. Host Helen was excellent at responding very quickly to our communications and recommending places to eat out with our dogs. If you love walking, exploring and switching off, this is a great place to stay. It’s so close to Castle Drogo and Fingle Woods. Whilst the lodge was clean, the TV was dusty and there were a few cobwebs in places. I also agree with previous reviewers’ comments regarding the lodge looking a little tired, especially the bathroom which would benefit from repainting. However, these comments would not stop me from returning as the lodge is excellent value for money in a great location.
