A TV, DVD-player and a range of DVD’s can be found – perfect for those rainy days to curl up and chill out.

Utilise the motion sensor for night lighting without activating the fan.

The holiday was brilliant and the lodge only added to it. The lodge is even more lovely than the pictures and is exceptionally comfortable - sofas, beds surpassed expectations for holiday rentals.
Our stay was further positively directed through the exemplary communication with property owners/managers. Bonnie was so helpful and really knowledgeable and had a very sunny disposition - each interaction was exceptionally positive.
The lodge was great, and the garden was super dog-friendly. Very well enclosed and plenty of bushes for them to explore.
Location was great, being roughly a 15 minute drive from Salcombe and also Kingsbridge. You can walk to the Sloop Inn, and you can also walk to other nearby beach restaurants and picturesque beaches - BeachHouse on South Milton Sands is certainly noteworthy with great staff and food.; South Milton Sands is also a first class beach and offers fantastic waters with accessible facilities. Hope Cove is but another 20-30min walk away from here, again with lots of restaurants and pubs.
Overall the stay was excellent and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back again - thanks for having us!
