Great location for the beech, super quiet and great views over to Plymouth. The inside of the lodge was great, excellent facilities and everything provided so 5*. If I was to raise anything it would be the decking area could do with a bit of TLC. This is in no way criticism but more feedback on what if anything could make the stay complete. Great value, great location, great facilities and the weather was with us also. Will be back!!!!

Very clean and tidy on arrival. Fresh bottle of milk in the fridge on arrival and tea bags, sugar, salt, pepper, vinegar and sauces. Ideal if anything was forgotten. Neighbours were polite and friendly. All good. Will look to return next year.
