A very peaceful location. In a remote part of Devon. Lodges were first class, lots of activities for kids to do. Hot tub was a great extra on our balcony. Spotlessly clean. Food in the restaurant was excellent. Staff very accomodating and friendly. Took a little while to navigate the lanes when going off site. Perfect break if you bring plenty of good food and wine and stay on site. Very good pub up the road serving tasty local produce too.

Awesome hidden away treasure
It was awesome, we are only based in Braunton about 40-45 mins away and we needed an anniversary trip to literally just chill during a difficult time and this place did the absolute trick. We didn’t leave the resort, a 2 bedroom meadow view lodge was stunning. We will be back with the kids definitely.

A fantastic family break
We had a fantastic stay at the mole resort. The lodges are beautiful and the facilities are only a few minutes walk away. The welcome pack for our dog was a lovely touch. We used the tennis courts and swimming pool along with the indoor games room which is a great addition.

A fantastic last minute weekend getaway! So many activities for everyone. The grounds are stunning, the staff super friendly and the hot tup at the property was a major plus! Only criticism was the breakfast was a little chaotic (perhaps we arrived at the wrong time) but we were made to wait a while for a table and the selection of cereals / Savory / milk was very sparse ! The dinner was good, but my wife did receive marmite butter when we clearly stated she was coeliac! We will be back with friends and family!!

Absolutely Fabulous!
The Mole Resort is absolutely FABULOUS! Lodges are spacious, very clean and well equipped with own parking space at the door to the lodge. It is a quiet resort (whilst I was there anyway!) and this was well received. The team are easily contacted via WhatsApp which is great and there was only 1 issue I needed to bring to their attention (patio door did not lock during my stay, thought to be caused by the hot weather). The grounds are lovely, great to walk the dog, and although I did not visit the bar or restaurant on site, it did look amazing! Towels and lined provided were of good high quality, though the pillows could have been a bit softer, all in all it is a great place and I would definitely return, in fact I can't wait to go back!
