  If you are looking for a wonderful, peaceful place to stay on a break away, Langdale Lodge is a must.

  Set on a farm, you have a beautiful view from the living area looking out on to fields, lake and farm animals. We stayed during winter, which at times was quite a wet period but it was lovely, we chose to stay in and lit the fire which warms up the lodge and makes it nice and cosy. One of the most amazing things about the lodge is the wildlife cameras that you can watch. The farm is blessed with lots of wild animals and Mike kindly sends updates if there is anything exciting that comes through during the night. We spent most of our time when in the lodge with it running, periodically checking out what there was about and saw owls, mice, birds, geese, ducks and a rabbit. Those staying over the spring period will have such fun watching the owl houses too if there are owlets! The lodge has great facilities, the bed is comfortable, shower has good power, you can cook using the all in one and stove top. The settee is amazing as it’s a recliner, so you can sit back and relax whilst looking out of the huge window or watching the TV, which has the ability to login to any streaming services you might wish to. The wifi is good if you need to use. If going in better weather, there’s a lovely outdoor seating area on the decking. It’s all enclosed which was perfect for us and our little dog to be out in. We were made to feel very welcome upon arrival and even got to purchase some eggs from the hens on the farm. Thank you also to Mike who allowed us to say hello to the some of the farm animals too which was really special. We look forward to hopefully coming back again in a warmer period to enjoy all the fun things Devon and the lodge has to offer in a different season. Highly recommend staying here.

  What a wonderful wooden lodge!

  It was warm and cosy. Everything we needed. Logs were available from Mike for the log burner stove. And a total 'brucy bonus' was the sofa - it's an electric reclining sofa!!!! Perfect for relaxing and watching the TV in the evening. Mike the owner has a wildlife channel so that you can watch wildlife on the large grounds in real time on the TV. The bed is soooo comfortable. The lodge is enclosed by an electric wooden gate which has a fob key making life easier. The views from the large picture window in the living area (and from the bed as the lodge is a studio layout: living room, kitchen, bedroom, all in one area) is truely beautiful. It overlooks a field and a large pond in the distance and of corse the rolling green hills. A truely beautiful setting! Very romantic. Dog friendly as the decking and side garden are safely enclosed. Certainly a five star lodge in our opinion for a romantic get-away.

  Wow! Where do I start?! We have stayed in cottages all over the country and this gem of a place has been the best! Lovely helpful owners who told us about some fantastic place to visit. The welcome hamper was amazing and the freshest eggs from the cottages new chickens! The cottage was so comfortable and cosy and had everything you could possibly need, set in a stunning little village. The walks from the cottage were superb. If you don’t fancy cooking there are numerous places nearby to eat for example Millers farm shop for breakfast and snacks and a little shopping, to Tuckers thatched pub just a few miles away. I would recommend River Cottage Kitchen in Axminster for an evening meal, delicious! Over all I would absolutely return to this cottage. We simply did not want to leave! Thank you 😊

  Really nice cottage, although all on different levels the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was beautiful, but in the basement, this meant having to navigate the winding narrow staircase down two floors from the bedroom, definitely not for the faint hearted or anybody slightly infirm. Superb welcome hamper was very welcome. Safe easy parking for the car. Small but well kept village location, nothing there but the Kings Arms pub, which was very welcoming serving good food and dogs welcome. Long drive to anywhere of interest along narrow twisting lanes for miles. Craig who met and us on arrival proved to be a very good and always on hand when needed. Overall a pleasurable three day stay. Fully recommended, but not for anybody unsteady on the legs because of the stairs.

  A beautiful little Lodge - compact but packed with everything you need for your stay.

  There were fresh scones with clotted cream and jam when we arrived which were delicious. The views along the field and lake were just stunning and access to the camera traps to watch the wildlife up close was fantastic too! Our dog loved it too with so many lovely lanes to walk down and woodland treks to explore, it was amazing for all of us. The place is very well appointed and maintained and we had the best time there and visiting the surrounding area. We did manage to cook some simple meals on the 2 ring hob but there is also a very lovely pub up the lane. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Mike was on hand if we needed anything. We would love to come back again in the spring to watch nature come back to life. Lovely place and would certainly recommend:-)
