    “If you are looking for a modern, marble, glitzy stay this is not it.”

    Its a secluded, peaceful "log" cabin - reminded me of a ski lodge - fully equipped, comfortable, spacious and warm with loads of space outside. I suggest you do need a car to stay here but plenty to go & see in any direction. Would stay here again

The property

This lovely, three-bedroom holiday property, Valley Lodge, is located in the Devonshire village of Oakfordbridge, close to Bampton.

Families wishing to spend time exploring Devon and its various, beautiful natural landscapes, will find this home, which sleeps seven people and two well-behaved dogs, to be the ideal choice, due to its convenient proximity to Exmoor National Park and three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Park up to your new home-away-from-home and enjoy the peace and quiet as the cool waters of a local stream run parallel to your new accommodation.

Within, you'll discover a tastefully-decorated, open-plan living area with a fully-equipped kitchen, where you and your loved ones can cook meals to be eaten at the dining room table or while seated on the corner sofa and watching a film or two on the Smart TV.

Enjoy a glass of wine on the furnished balcony as the evenings draw in before retiring to one of the three opulent bedrooms, including a king with an en-suite bathroom, where you can relax and revitalise before getting ready for a well-earned sleep.

With the meadow to enjoy around the lodge, there is plenty of outdoor space to sit quietly, spot deer, badgers or foxes quietly enjoying the countryside, stroll by the river and star-gaze at unpolluted night skies.

Take a short drive into nearby Bampton, if you can drag yourself away from Valley Lodge, to savour some traditional pub grub at The Quarrymans Rest or stock up on necessities at the Bampton Greengrocers.

The National Trust attractions Knightshayes Gardens and Knightshayes Court should not be missed while travelling to Tiverton, which is also reachable by car.

Visitors can spend time exploring the Tiverton Castle battlements or simply enjoy a tranquil stroll around the Great Western Canal Country Park.

Whatever you decide to do, enjoy a memorable stay at Valley Lodge.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

BAMPTON, DEVON

Dulverton 6 miles; Tiverton 7.5 miles.

Bampton is a wonderfully peaceful Devon village situated in a wooded valley on the banks of the River Batherm, a tributary of the River Exe, close to the Exmoor National Park. Bampton offers lovely Georgian cottages and houses, a good range of shops and is famous for its floral displays, pony fair and folk festival. The towns of Dulverton and Tiverton are close by and offer plenty of amenities, plus there are many country pursuits on offer in this rural area, including fishing on the two reservoirs at Wimbleball and Clatworthy, Exmoor safaris through dramatic windswept moors, walking the Exe Valley Way, horseriding across the moor and cycling along the Lowman Way. Further afield is the beautiful North Devon coastline with stunning walks, small coves, sandy beaches and views across to Wales. Bampton provides an ideal base for exploring North Devon and the Exmoor National Park.

Note: This lodge is not on a site, it is on its own in approx half an acre of land, fenced off for dogs. The lake, play area and cafe in the photos are located about a mile away.

Note: There is an unfenced stream close to the property with a steep slope leading to the river, please make sure children and dogs are supervised at all times.
