Tasteful and peaceful, this beautiful dog-friendly lodge with oak beams, a private decked area, and views over the North Devon countryside would suit both families and friends.

In this peaceful lodge deep in the North Devon countryside, you can enjoy a homely rural setting with gorgeous views. Spend chilly evenings relaxing inside with the cosy wood burner, and warm days outside on the charming, decked area. You’ll be 2 miles from the river-port town of Barnstaple and 8 miles from the nearest beach at Instow, with plenty of opportunities for lovely walks along the River Taw nearby. There’s room for four people and two dogs, making this perfect for a family or small group of friends.

Careful attention to detail and exceptional quality furniture and fittings make this a truly delightful place to stay. You’ll enter the patio door into a charming open-plan living area with a vaulted ceiling and attractive ceiling beams. This space is excellent for kicking back with your fellow guests, perhaps watching something on the Smart TV or getting cooking in the modern kitchen. The beautifully decorated bedrooms are equipped with antique-style beds and bedding that perfectly matches the decor. Outside the property, a decked balcony wraps around the accommodation and there’s a charcoal BBQ and furniture for prolonged dinners in the fresh air. The adjacent field is the perfect place to walk the dog in the morning.

When it’s time to explore your surroundings, the South West Coast Path (9 miles) and the Tarka Trail (2 miles) both offer wonderful trails for making the most of the scenery – the latter is particularly good for cycling. The magical haven that is Exmoor National Park is also just 9 miles north. Westward Ho! (11 miles) and Croyde (10.5 miles) both have sandy beaches and are popular for water sports like surfing and paddleboarding.
