About this property
Settled in the peaceful village of Newton Ferrers in Briar Hill Farm, Devon is this delightful, timber-built lodge, Meadow Lodge. With easy access to local amenities and surrounded by beautiful countryside, the lodge welcomes a family of five to explore the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Meadow Lodge sits on an elevated position with far-reaching, rural views in a popular spot with off-road parking for two cars. Be welcomed by a well-appointed, open-plan living space where a kitchen area has everything you need to prepare home-cooked delights. Tuck in at the breakfast bar for two or set the oak table for five to savour a family supper and plan your holiday itinerary. Floor-length windows bring in plenty of natural light, while a timber front decking has rattan furniture to dine with the sunset! Retreat inside to find a sumptuous corner sofa to snuggle up with the cushions and watch a family favourite on the Freesat TV. After busy days by the sea, let the washer/dryer sort the towels ready for tomorrow, while you soak among the bubbles or take a hot shower in the bathroom; don't forget to set your towel on the heated towel rail for extra comfort! Choose between three nicely presented bedrooms, each decorated with floral cushions and throws in keeping with the lodge's meadow theme; the master double has an en-suite shower room, alongside a double and a twin. Wander into Newton Ferrers to stock up on the essentials at the local convenience store, while the Dolphin Inn serves classic pub grub along Newton Creek overlooking Noss Mayo. A walker's paradise, this area of Devon has fantastic coastal paths to explore, leading to sandy coves and plenty of picnic spots. Bovisand is a short drive away with a popular sandy beach and Staddon Heights Golf Club, but if you're seeking a family-fun day out, carry on to the port city of Plymouth; the little ones with love the National Marine Aquarium, The Mayflower Museum exploring local seafaring history, and plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants to choose from. There are plenty of historic sites nearby including the 16th-century Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park, the National Trust Saltram and gardens, and Queen Anne's historic estate, Antony.

Comfortable and well equipped lodge with comfy beds, hot and strong showers and a practical kitchen. Great views over the creek valley and was wonderful to wake up to such a dawn chorus every morning. The owners were responsive and helpful at all times. Make sure you check out the Green (deli) and the Dolphin Inn!

Tastefully appointed and well equipped it catered perfectly for our restful 4 night stay. The bath is absolutely fantastic and a real treat for this 6ft 2â chap! I agree with other comments that the sofa is rather uncomfortable.
