In the lush embrace of the Exe Valley, this sumptuous cabin provides a magical escape. Like something plucked from the wilds of Alaska, this retreat is hugged by leafy trees and overlooks a floodlit pond. Surrounded by 100 acres of private woodland, the lodge is in a certified conservation area and provides the ultimate couple’s retreat. Grant your pup a new leash of life in this verdant sanctuary and settle in. With room for two and your four-legged friend, this is a pet’s paradise brimming with opportunities to explore, play and, of course, relax.

Infusing cabin chic with contemporary touches, the lodge playfully combines rustic themes with welcoming home comforts. Its lovely wooden interiors nod to the cabin’s authentic charm, and with calming tones and plenty of light, two and four-legged members of your clan will immediately feel at home. Coming inside from the garden, you will be met by the generous open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where all you could need for your break is provided. Let your sleeping dog lie at your feet as you snuggle up on the sofa in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire. When you are ready, a comfortable double bedroom awaits where you can drift off to sleep with the whisper of a breeze through the trees.

With beautiful, untouched woodland all around, the area is home to lots of wildlife and walks. Keep your eyes peeled for the birds, deer, foxes and badgers who also live onsite. Try your hand at fly fishing in the property’s grounds or wander the trails and routes with your dog. Less than 3 miles away, Exmoor National Park offers a wealth of choice for things to see and do too. After a day’s exploring together, the dog-friendly Anchor Inn (1.5 miles away) offers drinks and hot food.

The cabin is cosy and perfect for a smaller dog. Very comfy bed. Great shower with good hot water supply. Kitchen amenities overall good, nice cooker but the kettle leaks! Lovely woodlands surrounding and lots of superb wildlife everywhere. Watch out for potholes and pheasants on the local roads! Good village store in Dulverton with a cafe.

Great place for a quiet get away, very peaceful surrounded by wood land, the owner was close by if you should need anything, going for a walk is something worth doing even if you haven't taken a dog with you, the cabin is set out very well and comfortable, we are already thinking about booking it again.

The lodge is an ideal place to stay when it is dry as there is nowhere to put wet clothes/boots to dry. Being surrounded by woodland it could get messy during the wet months.

Lovely and secluded property where you feel miles away from anywhere. The lodge has all the essentials you need and is comfortable for a weeks stay, incl selection of dvds. Lots of nice walks from the door in both native & commercial woodland, and our dog had the time of his life running off lead. The host, Richard, was very friendly & helpful. SomRead moree nice cafes, restaurants & pubs in local villages, and some great attractions in the area including Haddon Hill & Tarr Steps. 1 hr from north coast. Hide

A lovely hideaway in the woods for a great escape. Has everything you need and a surprising amount of space inside. If you're into nature and walks, the ideal lodge holiday for you.

What a lovely, secluded place to stay for a week. Small but perfectly formed!! Lovely garden for us and the dog to relax in (we were very lucky with the weather). We had walks in the woods (we didn't see any wildlife, probably scared off by the mad spaniel being mad!!) Would definitely love to stay again.

This is an idyllic little bolt hole perfect for taking a four legged friend along. The owners are super friendly and helpful but do not intrude on your privacy. This is our second time and will definitely not be our last. In fact I think it should be nicknamed Mary Poppins - practically perfect in every way!
