Guests that stayed at this property said
The Lodge is repeatedly described as spotlessly clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the host.
The location is highly appreciated for its peacefulness, rural charm, and proximity to Exmoor and local amenities, making it an ideal retreat.
Reviewers find The Lodge very comfortable, mentioning a king-sized bed and cosy furnishings, contributing to a restful stay.
The Lodge is equipped with modern kitchen units, a fridge/freezer, and a microwave. The outdoor patio with furniture is also well-received. However, the lack of mention of other facilities prevents a perfect score.
Guests have noted thoughtful touches like a cream tea on arrival and the host's willingness to go the extra mile. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, they are a bonus and not guaranteed.
About this property
Settled just across from the owner's charming home and B&B is this delightful dwelling, The Lodge, offering two guests a wonderful base for adventures across North Devon and Exmoor. This single-storey detached lodge features an open-plan layout and resides near the village of North Molton, within easy reach of both the north and west coasts, as well as South Molton and the Exmoor National Park.

Be welcomed into an open-plan studio living layout, with a kitchen, dining area and sitting area to the front, with sleeping quarters to the rear. Enjoy relaxing in the evening following a long day by lounging on the spacious sofa and watching TV, with the sofa able to be a sofa bed for any extra guests staying. The kitchen area is small but mighty with the benefit of a two-ring electric hob, fridge/freezer and microwave, more than enough to rustle up some delicious dishes for two to tuck into at the dining table. Dine alfresco out in your own seating area outside in the garden with a lawned area too, perfect for enjoying the sun. Once the evening draws to a close, seek the roomy king-size bed for sleep, with the option of having the zip/link beds made into two singles if required. Step inside the lovely shower room to freshen up, with a large walk-in shower enclosure to enjoy.

Visit the grand family estate of Arlington Court & Carriage Museum, run by the National Trust, offering stuning views, beautiful gardens and a fascinating museum. Walkers can delight in many excellent areas to explore, with serious walkers sure to enjoy the Cow Castle walk beginning in Simonsbath and covering nine miles, passing amazing sights including Wheal Eliza mining ruins and the highest wood in England, Birch Cleave Wood.

Alan is a lovely man who will do anything to help his guests. We enjoyed watching the lambs frolicking in the fields all around. We have booked to back again in October and are looking forward to it.

Just what we needed to recharge some very tired batteries and take us away from the world. Very peaceful. Out in the countryside but close to amenities. Alan is such a kind man and assisted in every way when needed. Wish we could have stayed longer. Couldnât fault the whole experience.
