Beautiful, well equipped lodge, had everything we required even down to dog toys! Set in a well maintained holiday park which had a nature trail to walk the dog. We will definitely stay again.

This is a fantastic lodge. It’s on a quiet site meaning the kids had no worries when going to sleep. The beach is a 5-10 minute walk away. The lodge itself was clean and ready to use with all the utensils.This was our second stay here and have booked again for a third.

A nice lodge in an excellent location with Hele Bay within an easy walk and Ilfracombe a short drive. Lovely green surroundings and in a very well kept campsite.
