  Wow what an absolute Gem of a place we came as a group of 7 over 3 generations and this suited everyone of us!

  We hadn’t travelled far (30 minutes) due to grandparents not being able to drive far but it definitely felt like a million miles away. Lots of beautiful places to visit on Dartmoor Widcombe in the moor, Hay Tor, Buckfast Abby just a few to name! The lodge was absolutely stunning and plenty of space the kitchen and open plan living/dining area was great everyone enjoyed cooking together and we even did some baking the kitchen is well equipped with everything you possibly needed our kids enjoyed the snug lounge as well they was plenty of cards board games to choose from. the log burner was ample amount of heating (we turned the radiators down) Our 2 dogs loved the outside garden all fenced in and plenty of room for them to have a mooch around. The hot tub was superb and the fairy lights around the fence was beautiful we sat out quite late a few nights just star gazing and listening to the owl. Jo and Max made us all feel very welcome right from the start with a wonderful hamper and messaged me after the first night to see how we were and if anything was needed and very kindly kept our logs stocked up! We all would definitely recommend this wonderful place to stay we all fell in love with it and it ticked every box plus more!!!! We are actually looking at dates for next year Thanks again Jo & Max in your hospitality from all of us!

  On arrival it was clear that the lodge was not adequately cleaned, dog hair behind doors, mouldy potato in kitchen cupboard, cobwebs, dirty cupboards, rubbish left in a bathroom bin, stain on sofa.

  No battery in kitchen clock Broken information frame left on kitchen window sill Used candles left near hot tub Used empty olbas bottle left in sauna Plastic glasses for outside use for only 2 people not 6 Wrong WiFi code displayed Not all jets worked in hot tub No heating or hot water in lodge upon arrival , when maintenance sorted the boiler pressure there was still no hot water in bath, pointless having a bath if it can’t be used . ( i have taken photos as evidence) Housekeeping notified Maintenance notified Our time was wasted by trying to sort out above matters when we were only there for 3 nights , Very disappointed with our stay, glad to be home in a clean environment… It would appear that regular checks are not made in this lodge to check standards such as a clock battery, cleanliness, hot tub functioning etc, Little things can make all the difference in a weekend break, we would have loved to return regularly as we live only one hour away and it’s located in a great place. It’s just so disappointing for us.

  Lodge was disgusting filthy, old food behind micro wave and generally dirty and cobwebs throughout the lodge.

  Under sofa hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Downstairs shower room looks new but dirt cobwebs between show glass and tiles plus something on floor behind toilet. Worst of all was the front upstairs bedroom! Floor was filthy under beds. One single bed mattress was the most uncomfortable and worn mattress I've ever seen, but it was the smell that got me. In the end I took the duvet cover off to find old blood and other stains all over it. I would give that duvet to anyone absolutely disgusting. Broken chair on rear bedroom balcony, and coffee table legs broken in lounge. Light bulbs flickering and some not working. Rear upstairs bedroom wardrobe inners absolutely filthy and boiler heat shield guard missing (looks dangerous) general condition of lodge inside very tired and not as oer pictures. What looked like blood marks on duvet cover and wall in rear bedroom and on the wall. For me the duvet was a healthy hazard, general cleaners is one thing but that was utterly disgusting.

  I am sorry but this is supposed to be pet friendly but apart from a small garden the only other walk is the drive.

  To take you dog for a walk you have to drive unless you like to walk single lane roads. The hot tub is under power probably not maintained properly. the tv in the front room is on its last legs. the property itself is not clean there are cobwebs everywhere they have been in place for a long time as they are covered in dust. the sofa if you lift the cushions well that has not been cleaned for months. They do not even move them to clean under them, the bathroom floor is in poor condition very near ready to replace, the cabinet in the bathroom has not been cleaned for a long time. For what is supposed to be luxury accommodation has slowly been left to deteriorate. I would not go back or recommend it to anyone. If this sounds unfair then you are looking at what it should be as we saw it first a lovely property but the longer you are there the more you see that has not been maintained or cleaned.

  Four adults and one dog enjoyed a very comfortable week in The Mews.

  Andy and Charmaine were very friendly and welcoming but didn’t crowd us at all. The Mews is in a good location and feels remote enough to be peacefully quiet but only 15 mins away from Bovey Tracey and shops. Ducks and geese were our neighbours! Ideal for a recharging holiday. Nice and clean, very warm with plenty of hot water. The outside tap is a real bonus for washing muddy paws after walkies. Dog leg-stretching a little bit limited without walking down the lane but Andy mentioned plans to expand the fenced area which would give dog-guests more space to roam. He also offered to dog-sit if we wanted to go out, which although we didn’t need to take advantage of this time is still really appreciated. Lovely fresh scones (huge!), a pot of jam and clotted cream awaited us on arrival which started our Devon holiday in the best way. We look forward to our next visit!
