Deer Lodge - South Molton

Set within a 30-acre smallholding, this detached lodge offers a tranquil retreat for couples and their canines seeking seclusion. It boasts a private deck and a hot tub, a fantastic feature for making your holiday very special. This idyllic haven is situated 2.5 miles from the charming town of South Molton, home to independent shops and cafes where you can purchase local produce to tuck into back at your retreat.

Accessed through a gated shared driveway, this detached property welcomes you with French doors leading to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The space offers comfortable areas for relaxing and dining, equipped with seating, a Smart TV, and a wood burner that Fido is sure to adore. The well-equipped contemporary kitchen allows you to prepare fresh ingredients for a delightful supper enjoyed at the dining table. Continuing across the open-plan living space, you'll find the inviting double bedroom. The accommodation is completed by a fantastic bathroom featuring a free-standing bath and a separate shower, both clad in corrugated metal in a nod to the agricultural location. Step outside to discover an enclosed, raised terrace boasting a hot tub with a canopy. Relax on the outside seating and soak up the serene countryside views, where deer are often spotted. Enjoy al fresco dining with a BBQ, or perhaps toast some marshmallows on the fire pit for an evening treat with Rover by your side.

In South Molton, an indoor market, eclectic shops, and inviting dog-friendly cafes and pubs await. Ideal for adventurous hounds, the lodge seamlessly connects to Exmoor National Park, with plenty to entertain inquisitive canines as you explore the high moors and wooded valleys. For a day at the seaside, you’ll find yourself with easy access to the breathtaking coastline of North Devon, including the pristine sandy beach of Saunton Sands (20 miles), where playful pups can run and play year-round with no seasonal restrictions.
