Dartmoor Retreat Lodge

We stayed at Dartmoor Lodge for three nights with our family and had a wonderful experience.

The lodge is spacious, comfortable, and very clean, making it perfect for a family stay. The surroundings are scenic and peaceful, ideal for relaxing and unwinding. The owner, Peter, lives nearby and was quick to respond whenever we needed anything. Overall, a fantastic stay — we would happily recommend Dartmoor Lodge.

Lovely clean comfortable and well equipped accommodation.

Peter very helpful.

What a quiet amazing lodge.

Little bit hard to find could do with a bigger sign.The lodge overall was good size everything you needed for a hoilday could do with some oven trays.Have to be careful of steps to the lodge gets very slippery in moist condition. Over all a beautiful location so so quiet just peaceful.We will definitely tell family and friends and will be back.

A very complete and fine Holiday Cottage.

The only thing missing is a booklet explaining how to use the TV and Humax, how to connect to the Wi-Fi, how to use the heating and how to separate and store waste. Although this was already noted in Clive's response in 2014, no such booklet exists yet.

A lovely property in idyllic surroundings.

All possible needs catered for in the extremely comfortable chalet. We enjoyed a most relaxing week away from the bustle, yet within a short drive to various towns and seaside resorts and Dartmoor itself.

A really lovely stay.

A great lodge in a quiet location

The lodge was excellent.

Clean, spacious with all the facilities necessary for my stay, and in a really good position to access Devon and local walks. The only downside was the Wi-Fi being out for the week, but this was a much bigger local problem, and, to be honest, it was good for me! Highly recommended.

Found the steps outside extremely slippery when it had been raining also didn’t have internet or phone signal so couldn’t keep in touch with family who were very worried when they couldn’t speak to us my daughter actually rang Peter the owner as she didn’t know what to do as I am disabled and my husband has got cancer

It is difficult to find fault with the lodge, there are a couple of petty things that we did not note when booking and on arrival.

one was the the access roads to the site being very narrow for approx 3 miles( not necessarily a big problem ) and on arrival there is normally a booklet explaining how everything works heating, cooker, TV etc this lodge did not have this. However We were very satisfied with the general condition and location.

A perfect stay!

The setting is incredible, such a beautiful place. The lodge had everything you could possibly need and more. Very cosy beds, fluffy towels - we'll definitely be coming back!

Lovely, clean and well appointed cabin.

Such a treat to have a laundry room. TO OWNER: It would be very helpful if you could have a folder with the instruction manuals of the appliances. I had to Google to find out which of the three slots I needed for laundry soap in the machine. : ) But that minor thing was my only "complaint", so five stars given. We had a lovely stay. So quiet. Thanks.

What a delightful part of Devon.

Site is in the middle of no where (maybe not ideal for some) but this was perfect for us to escape the normal day to day hustle. Everything was how Peter had explained over the Phone (he even made sure there was fresh milk for when we arrived) Total recommended this get away.

It was wonderful.

Really loved everything & thank you for the wine & chocolates.

Just amazing all round.

There is not a thing this owner hasn't thought about. Well done and we will be back.

Nice lodge in a very quiet area.

Good forest and river walks nearby. The roads nearby are narrow and pot holey so we avoided driving. Needed google maps to find it as the sat nav took us to Clifford Bridge, then needed 2 left turns along a narrow muddy lane to spot the lodges. Lodge is well furnished. Washing machine and tumble drier needed a clean before we could use them. TV has a Humax box - ok for live tv but not streaming. WiFi was fine. No mobile phone signal but a coin operated landline phone is provided. Kitchen is well equipped and included a dish washer. Fridge with freezer compartment. Milk, tea, etc. provided.l to start you off. No shops nearby so bring plenty of food. Bed is comfortable with a thick duvet. Bathrooms are dated but perfectly usable. Long walk to the recycling area as it’s near the entrance

A gem of a place, very clean, comfortable and everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

Set in a beautiful valley, peaceful and quite, with great walks and scenery. Everything has been thought of for your stay at this great retreat lodge. Best holiday we have had..

Lovely stay at a very peaceful location.

We really enjoyed our week.

We loved staying here !

! Would again Actually would love to live here We are from America and will recommend it there also

We had a lovely holiday.

The lodge was a real home from home: the sofas, dining chairs and bed mattresses were incredibly comfortable. The main bathroom was excellent with a lovely shower, however the ensuite hot water had very low pressure at the sink. The front right plate on the hob didn't ignite but we used the other 3. There was a great selection of cutlery and crockery. The only thing missing was a wooden spoon which would have been handy. The lodge is in a gorgeous setting and was very peaceful. The veranda was a real sun trap in the mornings and great for having breakfast out there. We would definitely like to go back. Thank you.

Lovely place, very tranquil and quiet.

I did contact the landlord as the WiFi wouldn't work. I did say not to worry as it was nice to get away from technology. The mattress we're not very comfortable.
