Property code: OC-THELO

Set in an idyllic part of the North Devon countryside, this secluded log cabin is one of three properties on the owner’s land occupying a serene spot with beautiful rural views. Offering welcoming accommodation for up to four guests, the single-level lodge features a lovely wood burner, a sweet decked terrace, and shared access to a wildlife pond and a covered, heated swimming pool. Lying in the heart of Ruby Country, this light-filled getaway is perfect for keen walkers and nature lovers discovering the region’s tranquil wooded trails, bridleways and footpaths.

A couple of steps head up to the French doors leading into the lodge’s stylish, bright and spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The cheery lounge is perfect for relaxing in, with a sociable central dining table and a beautifully arranged, fully equipped kitchen with a useful breakfast bar. Exploring the cabin further you will find a stylish bathroom and three beautiful wood-lined bedrooms: a cheerful king-size room with a glazed door leading onto the patio overlooking the owner’s orchard, and two sweet singles – one with a handy additional pull-out bed. Stepping outside, the private decked patio has garden furniture and makes a lovely spot for dining alfresco on a sunny evening. You will also have access to a shared patio by the swimming pool, along with the adjoining field and wildlife pond.

The picturesque village of Sheepwash is just a mile north, with a friendly Half Moon inn serving fantastic food. The lodge makes a great base for discovering the heart of the Devon countryside, with the Cornish border about 15 miles to the west and the edge of Dartmoor 15 miles south. There are plenty of family attractions throughout this stunning area including Okehampton Castle, Dunsland Park, RHS Garden Rosemoor 11 miles, Finch Foundry, Roadford Lake and Dingles Fairground Museum, all within 16 miles. And for a day out on the coast, Westward Ho! Beach is only 18 miles away, and is the perfect sport for surfing and sandcastle building. Or visit the famous Clovelly which is under 20 miles away. 

Please bring your own beach towels for the swimming pool. 

Please Note: You can book all 3 properties which are all on the same site, especially between 1st May and September (which you have use of the indoor heated pool), great for family get togethers.  Harmony, Serenity and The Lodge.

The Lodge fulfilled all our expectations and more. Would highly recommend this property if you enjoy peace and quiet and want to just retreat and relax with nature.

Nice comfy accomodation in quiet surroundings, with a lovely swimming pool. A car is a definite must as you are out in the countryside with no amenities within walking distance.

We had a lovely stay at The Lodge July 2022, friendly welcome from the owner with information about the area. The Lodge was comfortable and everything we needed for a weeks stay. The pool was a key feature for us and we all loved it but especially the kids. Good location to go sightseeing all around the area.

This is our second visit to the Lodge it is cosy and clean with all the amenities required. The swimming pool is warm & inviting, the local pub (The half moon inn) is about a mile walk 20-25 minutes and serves amazing food and drinks, and the staff and locals are very welcoming and friendly. BUDE is a 30 min drive away, Brixham 1hr 20. There are aRead more few National Trust properties in the area but you do need to travel quite a way to get anywhere. If you don't mind driving or you just want a peaceful place to stay this is ideal. We will definitely return next year if not before. Hide
