Track to Wonham Lodge is offroad, anyone not comfortable with 100m of steep rocky trail beware! missing essentials like coffee, hair drier and ironing board/iron. Advertised as having wifi but it didn't work. Woodlands are great and you are easy access to places like bat's iron age castle, river exe and a plethora of pubs and hiking trails. OverallRead more, it is a quiet lovely place to stay just needs a few minor improvements! Hide

Wonham lodge is rated 3 star. Personally I would give it 4. Can't be beaten for peace and quiet with a woodland walk literally on the doorstep but a nice little town only a few minutes drive away. One section of the steep track up to the lodge is particularly hairy and could do with some attention. It was also disappointing not to have a hairdryer Read moresupplied but hey, we survived and enjoyed our stay. Hide

A perfect, remote getaway. The setting literally in the middle of a forest is so beautiful and peaceful and lots of lovely walks right on the doorstep. It's a great location to explore local villages (we loved Bampton) and to get to the coast. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing break.

This place was amazing! We usually go camping but with a dog who cannot be let off her lead we were looking for somewhere where my husband didnt have to have her tied to his arm all night. A very secluded spot with total peace and quiet.the place was spotless and the owner was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Lodge is in a peaceful location, and is comfortable. The shower is excellent. The one drawback is the rutted track up to the lodge. We were there in cold weather and the track became icy and treacherous.

The cabin is lovely and secluded. As described it is small and has a basic level of equipment in the kitchen. However. we found the cabin to be very cosy and comfortable. The shower was the best I have used, and the bed was restful. It was great to be able to walk the dog off-lead in the woods. At night when the skies are clear you can see the starRead mores in all their glory. The owner was exceptionally helpful with recommendations and answering any queries. Warm and relaxing was our experience. Hide

This is a lovely comfortable retreat, tucked away at the top of ahill surrounded by trees; very restful with amazing walks in the woods. Sally the sprocker, loved it. Her favourite place was lying in the sun outside the front door. Lots of good walks all around the area. Easy access to Dulverton which is an amazing village with lots of fascinating Read moreshops including an informative Information Centre. The Exmoor gin distillery is on the way there! Lovely gardens in the Anchor pub. Hide
