Larchwood Lodge @ Manleigh Park
Your dates
Description
Tucked away on Manleigh Park in Combe Martin, Devon, is Larchwood Lodge. Enjoying a peaceful setting on the edge of Exmoor National Park, this welcoming holiday lodge boasts views across the surrounding woodland towards Combe Martin and the sea beyond. Within walking distance of the village's family and dog-friendly sandy beach, with its fascinating rock pools, and ideally placed for discovering the spectacular North Devon coast, including Croyde, Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, Larchwood Lodge is perfectly positioned for couples or small families seeking a traditional seaside escape. Benefitting from an open-plan living space, two inviting bedrooms and a decked area with ramp access, this delightful retreat offers everything needed for a memorable stay. Leave your car in the allocated parking space before stepping inside your home-from-home. Relax on the plush sofa in front of the TV while the designated chef prepares a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen. Gather around the dining table to tuck into your feast or make the most of warmer days by dining alfresco on the decking, where you can savour the fresh sea air with your favourite tipple in hand. When sleep calls, freshen up with a shower before retiring to either the comfortable double bedroom or the cosy single room, ready to wake refreshed for another day of adventure. Four-legged friends are well catered for too, with a dedicated exercise field and dog towels provided after muddy walks. A friendly onsite team is on hand to ensure a warm welcome throughout your stay. From the doorstep, walkers can access the South West Coast Path or challenge themselves with a hike to the impressive Hangman Cliffs, England's highest sea cliff. Spend sunny afternoons exploring Combe Martin's beach, where rock pooling, paddling, kayaking and paddleboarding await, before calling into one of the village's welcoming pubs, cafés or traditional fish and chip shop. Venture further afield to discover family favourites including Exmoor Zoo and Watermouth Castle, or enjoy a leisurely day exploring Arlington Court and its National Trust Carriage Museum. With the dramatic landscapes of Exmoor National Park and the beautiful beaches of North Devon all within easy reach, Larchwood Lodge is an excellent base for your next coastal adventure.

What guests are saying
Lovely place no issues at all only the small bar,restaurant on site was not open shame.
Lovely quiet site, a great spot from which to explore Combe Martin and the surrounding area.
Lodge was very private and comfortable with good facilities. Slightly let down by the fence around the decking area as was advertised as dog proof but anything smaller than our collie could have got out. Decking around could have been swept too but inside lodge was immaculate. Would definitely recommend and would stay again
We stayed in the bungalow which is disabled access accommodation.
The driveway down could be more clearly signposted or the instructions could be clearer (follow the signs for number ?9 and park in the disabled access space). Parking is tight (for an estate car, especially if boot access is required). We didn't need wheelchair access but I think it would be very challenging if we had. The accommodation was basic but we had everything we needed in terms of kitchen / cooking supplies. Additional teaspoons would be really helpful as we used the 4 spoons at a faster rate than other cutlery. A nice touch would be to have a plastic cup and spoon set for younger children to use. Overall it was more than adequate and the tea towel and cloth to clean with were helpful. The cleanliness could be improved. The overall surfaces first appeared clean until we went to use things. For example the bathroom towel rail had a covering of dust on each rung. There were cobwebs and dust behind the main bedroom door, on the doorstop and onto the side of the larger drawer unit. This was very noticeable when we went to close the door. The chair had some hairs on it and the bedding also had a couple of hairs on / in it. We personally found the bed and living room seating to be really uncomfortable. It is really hard. The linens could do with upgrading. My pillow case had a hole at the seem, the bottom sheet kept coming off (I think it was too small or had shrunk) and the shower mat had frayed edges). The shower head would also benefit with maintenance as one section sprayed jn a completely different way which meant the bathroom got much better than it would if it was directed the same way. The overall location is in beautiful countryside. The views are lovely. We loved the option of the outdoor seating although the rain meant we didn't get to enjoy it as much - which cannot be helped, British weather will always be unpredictable. It is nicely located with a short walk or drive to local amenities and the beach. The holiday information section could be improved by including some of the local petrol stations. We didn't find the visit to the dinosaur and wildlife park very good value. It was disappointing, you couldn't spend a day there unless you camped out in the softplay section. (Unless there are improvements it may not be something to promote.) We did however love our visit to Watermouth Castle. It is fantastic for young families. I would definitely recommend it to any future guests. (We wish we'd visited there first because we would have paid for a return trip.) We will likely return to the area in the future, however unless improvements were to be made we would find alternative accommodation due to the maintenance and cleanliness.
