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. ##### Esther H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra J.
