What a beautiful lodge ‘oak lodge’ is. No interrupted views & so peaceful. Very well equipped with everything you need.
We were met by our friendly host Paul on our check in who was full of welcomed information regarding lodge & area.
Myself & my husband had a fantastic 5 days visiting Devon. We would definitely stay again as so well situated .

Exeter Weekend Away
Really enjoyed the stay at “Oak Lodge”.
The house has pretty much everything you want in hand, only thing that would make the kitchen better is a Coffee pod machine.
The beds are comfortable and the views are great.
All in all very happy

Lovely stay
Last minute booking which went with a hitch. Lodge was perfect for our family and well equipped. My 1 year loved the chickens and sheep wanting to go and see them at any point she coukd. Lovely location and only 15 mins to Exmouth and Sidmouth. Thank you to Paul and Anna for having us. All the best. Hope to see you soon.

Short Escape
These lodges are ideally situated to get away from it all, which was just what we needed. Beautiful setting, complete with daily visits from the chickens. Perfectly located to explore all the south Devon coast has to offer, but situated high up near heathland with stunning views of the estuary and the rolling hills. The lodge had everything we needed and after a warm welcome, Paul and Anna left us alone to explore, with a phone number should we want help or advice. Thank you very much. It was everything we hoped.

Idyllic base for a fun-filled family holiday!
Gorgeous design, extremely clean and well set up with everything we could have hoped for......including a welcome bottle of Prosecco and a game of digital Monopoloy! Superb host who not only checked we had everything we needed at the house but provided outstanding recommendations for our daily excursions. We absolutely loved our staff and would recommend highly. We were a family of five with 3 kids between 10-12 but would equally recommend to grandparents wanting a quiet but beautiful place to explore a fabulous part of the country. Thank you!

The holiday home has been furnished to an exceptionally high standard and was very comfortable for a family of 4 adults.
It stands in a tranquil setting looking out across open pastureland.
The property is very well-equipped and every fine detail had been thought of to make this a superb place to stay. We would love to return soon.
