Surrounded by 30 acres of grounds, this striking contemporary lodge is perfect for couples and their canines to recharge their batteries. With a hot tub, a private deck and excellent road links, this charming bolthole is a great escape for those seeking seclusion.

As you step into this vividly decorated holiday home, you are greeted with an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner featuring a cosy wood burner, comfortable furnishings and floor-to-ceiling doors bringing in lots of natural light. The lodge continues to brim with charm as you head into the kitchen, where you can tuck into homemade dishes made from locally sourced ingredients. Bedtimes are a pleasure thanks to the pretty double bedroom and stylish bathroom, which contains a roll-top bathtub, which is sure to be needed after roaming the hillsides. As for outside space, the French doors lead to an enclosed terrace where you can soak away your troubles in your very own hot tub with an overhead canopy. Relax here on a morning; you may even spot deer majestically grazing in the countryside opposite.

When you're not relaxing at this idyllic base, drive just 2.5 miles away to the Saxon-built market town of South Molton. It is here you'll discover impressive architecture, a thriving market and the world's largest bee collection, Quince Honey Farm.

A lovely lodge in the middle of nowhere. The track leading to the lodge is muddy so be prepared. WiFi very good. Hot tub is really good. The lodge is very clean inside and full of everything you need. Beware of wasps and horse flies if you visit in September. We had them all over the hot tub. You have to drive into Barnstaple for a good pub. The thRead moreeme inside the lodge was very tasteful and quirky. We loved it. Hard to find but thats the point of being out in the middle of nowhere. Hide
