This couple’s hideaway with a hot tub is the ideal place to relax and recharge in the Devon countryside, designed for a stress-free break and only 3 miles from the cathedral city of Exeter. Enjoy city days out or unwind amongst the peace and quiet of the serene farmland during your next break.

Enjoy open-plan living in this contemporary timber lodge, with a lounge/kitchen/diner that has loads of light and gorgeous rural views. Enter via the terraced deck and you’ll find the compact kitchen tucked to one side, with a fridge, microwave and hob. After eating, relax on the comfortable sofa and enjoy a choice of programmes on the Smart TV. When it’s time to turn in for the night, your double bedroom and en-suite shower room are at the back of the lodge. On warm evenings, you’ll want to spend all your time on the terrace, either watching the sun set from your glorious covered hot tub or dining under the stars while planning your next day’s adventures.

Combine a break in the country with a visit to the city, and pop over to Exeter for its bars, restaurants and shops, not forgetting the historic cathedral and the fascinating underground passageways, originally designed to bring clean drinking water from natural springs outside the walled city. Visit the National Trust’s Killerton House and Garden, 4 miles, or the port of Topsham, 6.5 miles, with its beautiful architecture and variety of shops and places to eat. Darts Farm, 8 miles, sells a range of West Country produce, while Powderham Castle, 11 miles, is a majestic stately home. For moorland walks, parts of the Dartmoor National Park can be reached within 15 miles, while the golden sands of Exmouth Beach are 14 miles away.

Lovely location. Beautiful views. Perfect for a relaxing break. Kitted out and had everything needed for a mini break. We throughly enjoyed a break away from the hustle and bustle and made our 20th anniversary memorable. One thing to note is be aware of the distance between the car and lodge as you may struggle with heavy suitcases or bags down theRead more stoney path. Hide

Cottage was really lovely and homey, we felt quite comfortable and loved the hot tub! It was only a 10-15 minute drive to town so everything was quite close-by which was nice and convenient. Surroundings were very nice and quiet and a great view.

Really nice little cottage, and the hot tub was nice as well. The bed and sofa aren't the comfiest, but we were tired enough to sleep just fine. Not a whole lot to do nearby, but luckily we found plenty of walks to do. The view is to die for, incredibly pretty and a great break from city life.

I really enjoyed my stay over Christmas and will definitely want to return when in need of some quiet and relaxation. My only tips for other guests is to bring your own towels if you're staying more than a few days and a drying rack as there isn't one provided. It's useful to bring a slow cooker and/or an air fryer depending on what you will be eatRead moreing whilst there. If you're fussy about pillows, bring yours from home and your favourite cosy blanket too for extra comfort in the evenings. Hide

This was a beautiful place to stay with great views and a good place to chill after being out. Bed was comfortable and hot tub is a nice touch after walking each day.

There was 2 things that come to mind whilst staying, number 1- somewhere to store clothes in the bedroom like a small dresser. Number 2- there's a small gap underneath where the kettle is for a clothes horse that would definitely come in handy to air out towels and bathing costumes. It's an amazing location would love to come back again in the futuRead morere. Thanks Rebecca and Tom Davis. Hide

Overall a nice little get away despite the weather. The sofa is uncomfortable. Towels provided very small would be nice to have some larger ones. Best to bring your own. Very happy with how clean it was including the hot tub. No oven but good idea to bring an air fryer if wanting to make meals. Host very friendly and excellent communication.

My wife and I stayed in Balmoral Lodge from 22 Oct - 27 Oct. The lodge is gorgeous and everything in it is in keeping with the environment you are in, decor wise. It was spotlessly clean, tidy and very well designed and in a lovely location. Close enough to all amenities and attractions but far enough away to be isolated at the retreat that the lodRead morege is. We literally couldnt fault it unless a 150 metre walk to the car park, from the lodge bothers you. We cant wait to return soon. Hide
