Copplestone 1.5 miles. This luxurious wooden lodge is set in the owners' grounds, less than two miles from the village of Copplestone and thirteen miles from Exeter. The beautifully furnished, single-storey holiday home feels spacious, light and has views of green Devon meadows from all windows, so you really feel away from it all. The open plan living area, consisting of a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable sitting area, has wide patio doors to the veranda which is a sunny area for alfresco dining. Once the evening has closed in, curl up in front of the woodburner in the sitting area and relax in comfort. Theres two large double bedrooms, one with an en-suite and one with a bathroom across the hallway. Also the utility room is particularly useful for boot drying, laundry and useful extra space. The lodge stands in its own enclosed garden with plenty of off road parking and where you can sit, watch and listen to the multitude of birds and wildlife, whilst enjoying a cold drink or a morning coffee. Copplestone village has a shop and pub and provides one of the stops on The Tarka Line, a well-known railway line that takes you on a scenic journey between Exeter and Barnstaple. Also for golfers in your party theres the convenience of a golf course just down the road from the lodge. The Two Moors Way also passes by the lodge and the rural village of Down St Mary is within walking distance and fishing is also available locally.

It is very clean, & well equipped with everything needed. Just like home from home. The welcome pack of milk, bacon, delicious lemon drizzle cake, & apple juice, provided by Audrey was very much appreciated. Audrey, the owner is very friendly & helpful.

The cleanliness, faciities and equipment provided were second to none! Audrey (the owner) greeted us on our arrival with the warmest of welcomes, and was on hand all week if we needed anything - we did not, there was everything and more we needed in the lodge! The welcome pack of Bacon, Eggs, Milk, Apple Juice and Lemon Drizzle Cake were all superb and a lovely surprise. We travelled across the Devon Countryside most days to see the surrounding area which was beautiful. Would we recommend Barn Shelly Lodge? In a heartbeat! Definietly suggest you try the Sunday Buffet at the Crediton Tandoori - superb food. Dont be fooled by the appearance of the outside! Best meal of our holiday was at the Quay pub on the harbour at Instow! Amazing Food.

Audrey was a lovely lady helpful and friendly. We loved seeing the sheep and talking about her experiences with them. We appreciated there was no pet policy. Many thanks for a wonderful stay. Eunice and Ray
