    Thanks for a lovely stay. Simply amazing with all of the wildlife and remote location. Chilling in the hot tub was an added bonus. Thanks for looking after us. We will be back soon.

    We had a fabulous 3 nights at Exeter Lodge. It is beautifully appointed and completly equipped for everything you need. The hot tub was a great addition. The views are spectacular. The road to the lodge is very narrow and a bit rough. We had to be very cautious with the rental car that was low to the ground. It was a perfect place to relax after a busy week in London.

    Stunning. Very well appointed property, comfortable and having everything required for a pleasant relaxing stay. Wonderful views from the property and very quiet. Enjoyed watching the dear roaming, including in the rear garden. Could easily have stayed there for far longer.

    Off the beaten track Exeter lodge is a beautiful property with amazing views. The lodge is well equipped and spotlessly clean. The garden and grounds are peaceful and full of wildlife. We saw woodpeckers, rabbits, buzzards and a family of deer.Theres also a squirrel who ran infront of our vehicle everyday as we left the property. The only downside for us was the access to the property is via a long,narrow country lane Which was quite overgrown and did cause damage to our vehicle as it scratched both sides , however saying that we would return just in a different vehicle .

    Beautiful location for a short break for my wifes birthday. Very secluded through a forest with views over towards Exmouth. The property is excellent with good facilities. We opted for the hot tub which was fabulous on a frosty January evening. It was an excellent base for my childhood reminiscing at Torbay which is just 25 minutes away. Plenty of wildlife on the doorstep with deer roaming through the forest.

    I booked this stay on behalf of myself and my sister as a gift to our parents for their 50th Anniversary. They very much enjoyed their stay. The property was clean and as advertised, with a fantastic view. The travel and check-in instructions provided were easy to follow and the host, Nicky, was very helpful with any questions they had. The bottle of Prosecco was a very nice touch, though probably doesn't come as standard. Would highly recommend.

    Fantastic stay at Exeter lodge ; beautifully kept accommodation with amazing views. Very relaxing in a peaceful location with just the sounds of nature and the added bonus of your own Jacuzzi for further relaxation. Dog friendly with a large garden area and fab hammock. Thank you for a fantastic break; couldn’t have asked for more.

    Nicky has done a wonderful job of creating a relaxing experience amongst the fields of South Devon. We had such a wonderful time hiking, hot tubbing, playing, and simply letting the world pass us by for a few days. If we ever find ourselves in the area again we will definitely be staying here!

    Beautiful property with fabulous views thanks to elevated position. That required drive up narrow Devon roads, but perfectly described by host. Unusually, everything that we needed was provided. Very comfortable, lots of room, and lovely large, secure, grassed area for our small dogs. Very helpful host with a special request (item I forgot to pack) which meant my error did not upset our break. Highly recommended as a centre from which to explore South Devon.
