Nestling in an unspoiled woodland area this stylish lodge with a hot tub and countryside views is part of a small, quiet development of bespoke lodges. Conveniently located for sandy beaches and Exmoor National Park.

This beautiful lodge is ideally placed for a family or friends and up to two beloved four-legged friends looking for a relaxing holiday. Some of North Devon’s finest beaches are waiting for you, and unlimited paw prints; Saunton Sands, Putsborough, and Broadsands are all less than 30 miles away and offer plenty of options for water sports or sandcastle competitions. Closer to home, South Molton (5 miles) includes the historic Pannier Market every Thursday and Saturday morning featuring local artisan foods, arts and crafts.

Step inside this lovely lodge, and you will immediately notice the stylish open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and the welcoming sight of a cream tea! This charming and spacious living space boasts a hunting lodge theme and inviting sofas that are set in front of an electric flame-effect fireplace. The lounge is a beautiful space to unwind and watch your favourite film on the Smart TV while your hounds’ sleep. Patio doors open from the living area onto the decked veranda. The kitchen has everything you need to rustle up a hearty evening meal, a picnic or treats for your pups. There are two bedrooms - one double room with a TV and en-suite shower room and one twin with a TV. A separate bathroom is also available. The private veranda with outdoor furniture makes a great spot to unwind and enjoy dining al fresco with countryside views.

The trail extends into Exmoor National Park, where Dunkery & Horner Wood (20 miles) is perfect for hounds looking to leave no stick unfetched.

The Lodge was amazing, superb views so quiet, everything you need. Zoe tested hot tub daily, and was very good sorting any problems, even recommending places to eat which were also superb. Would definately go back just for the complete peace and quiet away from everything.

Had a wonderful week at Sycamore Lodge, Zoe was a great help with her knowledge of the locality and friendly support. Everywhere is at least a 20 minute car trip and 40 minutes to the coast but stunning situation for a quiet relaxing break .

I think we got the best challet on the site. The view from the veranda was wonderful, over fields and trees, and our dog had a commanding view of all passers-by and their dogs. Inside was tidy and clean, the beds comfortable with obscured windows for light and air. As there were only two of us, we had a bathroom each, mine had a bath, which I was vRead moreery pleased with. The kitchen was well-stocked and had a huge fridge freezer. Lots of room to relax in. Hide
