Property code: 82415

This pretty lodge is nestled in a small complex of similar properties conveniently close to Dartmoor National Park and offers your own private hot tub – it’s a perfect base for a relaxed family holiday.

Take two beloved canine companions to this attractive lodge located just 3 miles from Okehampton, ideal for friends or families looking for an active holiday close to Dartmoor. Let your pups lead the way on a walk around the nearby ruins at Okehampton Castle (3 miles). In fact, walkers and hounds will love having access to a variety of natural landscapes, including valleys, tors, and forests.

This stylish property offers plenty of contemporary comforts and calming hues to ensure a memorable stay. There are external stairs to the front door, and once inside, you’ll find a beautiful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that offers two sets of French doors that lead outside and flood the room with natural light. Your pups will race to find the best spot for sleep; meanwhile, you can sit back on soft furnishings and watch your favourite programme on the Smart TV with the flame-effect electric fire glowing in the background. The kitchen has everything to make meal preparation a breeze, so you can quickly whip up some hearty meals. Head down the hall to find the three bedrooms - one double with en-suite shower and TV, and two twins. Completing the property is a lovely contemporary bathroom. Venture outside and you’ll find a large, decked terrace where you can fire up the BBQ for al fresco dining.

Dartmoor is within easy reach of the property and offers many miles of scenic walks for all abilities, ranging from easy strolls through to challenging hikes and climbs. Explore Meldon Reservoir and viaduct (1 mile) and walk up to Black a Tor copse. The Tamar Valley Railway offers a different kind of experience, so head 20 miles to Gunnislake and hop aboard for a scenic trip towards Plymouth. If your hounds enjoy a good run and want to leave no stick unfetched, then beautiful Wistman’s Wood (20 miles) is a must-visit destination.

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 double and 2 twins (one of which has 2’6” single beds)

What a fabulous lodge! Great value for money. Felt very spacious and high spec. Kitchen fully equipped, much better than mine at home! Hot tub was great, again no expense spared. Was greeted on arrival and was someone on hand if we had any issues (which we didnt). Handy location for both Exeter and Plymouth. Would highly recommend.

Overall Chestnut Lodge was fine but could have been cleaner - there was a chip on the dining chair, dog hair on the sofa, under the sofa cushions is full of crumbs/glitter etc (the sofa is also losing its firmness), there were spiders in the corridors/dbl bedroom, flies were annoying, the batteries in the fire remote & the left side of the toaster Read moredidnt work. You can hear the traffic from the main road at all times. The kitchen is well equipped. That said its a good location & we would return. Hide

The heating wasn't working and the towel rails were cold but the weather was mild and we had hot water so it wasn't a problem until it turned colder. We then found that the boiler wasn't working properly and was showing a fault code. I reported it, a plumber was brought it in, he managed a partial fix and we had sufficient warmth for our last full Read moreday. Apart from that, everything was as per the blurb on the website - a comfortable lodge on a lovely site. Hide

Second visit to Chestnut lodge and it was another great visit. The lodge is home from home, everything is catered for. Situated in a lovely part of Devon, Okehampton is a lovely town with plenty of shops for supplies. You do need a car though as I dont think it is on a bus route.
