About this property
Hazelnut Lodge is a delightful single storey lodge, rurally located in Devon less than two miles from the village of Yeoford. Set within the grounds of the owners' small holding, with far reaching views of the countryside available from the private garden and balcony.
Enter your home from home and enjoy a well-appointed kitchen and dining area with a balcony beyond where you can relax and enjoy your peaceful position and woodland outlook.
The feature woodburner which sits between the kitchen and sitting areas provides a warm and cosy atmosphere and there is a TV for those who may wish to curl up and enjoy a film.
The shower room is positioned next to the master bedroom which has a super-king bed which can be split to two single beds should it better suit your party.
One well-behaved dog is permitted but please be aware that the garden adjoins farmland so we ask that your pet is kept under close control.
Garden furniture is available for guests to enjoy dining outside during the summer months.
Rurally situated in the rolling Devon countryside, this holiday home makes the perfect escape. The Dartmoor National Park is only six miles away so this is a perfect base for those who wish to explore this beautiful part of Devon.
The village of Yeoford is only 1.5 miles away with it's award winning pub The Duck.
The vibrant town of Crediton is also a short drive away, where you can find plenty of independent shops, pubs, and eateries, including Mole Avon Country Store, The Three Little Pigs, Coco's Bakery, Ashton’s Coffee Lounge, and the Trawlers Catch takeaway.
There are also a number of National Trust properties in the area, most notably Castle Drogo and Arlington Court. The RHS gardens at Rosemoor and Dartington Crystal Factory are also worth a visit - both these attractions are situated at Great Torrington.
Further afield you’ll find Exeter, home to a wealth of amenities and popular tourist attractions, including the magnificent Exeter Cathedral, Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Powderham Castle, the vast Barley Valley Nature Reserve, Exeter Quay and the fascinating Underground Passages: all worth a visit.
Enjoy all of this and more with Hazelnut Lodge as the ideal base for your next holiday.
A busy market town 8.5 miles north west of the cathedral city of Exeter, and situated in an area of Devon known as “Red Devon” so called because of the distinctive red soil which is of prime agricultural quality, and excellent for growing swedes. This is a rural area of Devon which is tranquil, unspoilt and where ruby cattle are seen grazing amongst the rolling green meadows. There are many scattered villages with welcoming inns, well stocked farm shops and friendly locals. Crediton has a wide range of shops selling gifts and groceries, a fabulous farmers’ market, modern leisure centre and plenty of family friendly pubs. Crediton is less than 10 miles from Dartmoor National Park which provides excellent walking and horse riding opportunities and a half hour drive from the beautiful city of Exeter where there are theatres, stunning cathedral, shopping malls, and historic quay with waterfront cafes, antique shops and bars.

The lodge had everything you could possibly need, was immaculate, tastefully furnished, extremely comfortable and cosy. The garden and property were maintained to a very high standard, and the garden was safe and secure for our dog. Due to the heavy rain recently the steep uneven driveway was a bit of a challenge, but that was a minor issue. The owners were very friendly and helpful, we felt so welcome. The train in Yeoford was brilliant, takes you either to Exeter or to Barnstaple, and there are lovely walks. It was the most restful and quiet holiday we have had for a very long time. After acquiring a dog rather late in life, we found this new self catering holiday experience to be exceptionally enjoyable and have already booked for next year.
