Peaceful, luxury, allergy &smoke-free lodge.Hot tub, Fishing, dog-friendly, surf

Luxury Devon holiday lodge situated close to Cornish border and beautiful sandy beaches, cliffs, coves, National Trust and other historic properties
Some of our favourites are Bude Canal which has excellent wheelchair and bike access, secluded Docton Mill Gardens and Tearooms, Speke Mouth with its spectacular waterfall, the beautiful Sandymouth to Bude 5km stretch of sandy beach at lower tides with magnificent cliffs and other rock formations and the wreck of the SS Belem, Clovelly with its steep lanes and harbour and of course all the inland attractions of Dartmoor, the Eden Project and the South coast secluded inlets.

This is our own family holiday residence (regret unsuitable for children under 7 years) and as such is fully equipped for a home-from-home experience.

Large attractive lounge/diner opening to spacious sun-deck with a quiet jacuzzi, plant pots, mature shrubs and views of surrounding countryside.
Two electric ovens, induction hob, grill, toaster, numerous appliances including smoothie-maker and food-processor. Enough crockery and cutlery for a small cafe (slightly reduced for COVID19 compliance)
Dishwasher, washer/tumble-dryer, fridge and 2 freezers.
Smart TV with DVD BluRay player, Bose radio CD with aux input for iPod
6-seater solid wood dining table and chairs, 2 large leather sofas plus armchair.
Breakfast bar with 2 stools.
Airing cupboard.
Inconspicuous retractable washing line.
Retractable screen for added privacy in the jacuzzi
Matching garden table/parasol/chairs/loungers/coaster with cushions
Spacious bedrooms have accommodation for the largest of clothes collections. Beds are extremely comfortable and have white, high thread count cotton/organic cotton sheets laundered with hypoallergenic washing materials. Duvets all hypoallergenic, new 2021, incorporating Summer-Winter functions. Master bedroom bed has integral TV unit with remote control, other bedroom also has smaller TV.
There is a supply of towels, including some beach, please bring your own doggy towels!
Wetsuit hooks over full-size bath. Separate large shower unit, sink and toilet all within the one room, which doubles as the doggy drying and sleeping area (waterproof dog bed supplied)
There is, nature-watching, private fishing and lead-walking around a picturesque jointly-owned lake at the bottom of the site and there is also a footpath, although in wet weather it can be muddy. There are numerous forest tracks a short road walk away which remain dry for walking and cycling.
The property is kept as low allergen as possible, especially regerding cigarette residue of any type, but note that dogs will have been present.
We use mostly organic, low-environmental impact, perfume-free cleaning products.
Due to COVID 19 regulations we use a disinfectant on high-use surfaces in addition to the usual cleaners but this is non- perfumed and pet-friendly. Bleach is banned due to the reed-bed waste processing. Dogs are required to be on a lead on the site and owners to poop-scoop. They are free to roam the enclosed sundeck which surrounds most of the two sides of the building.

Complete relaxation
The property is spacious and very clean , the beds were comfortable and the property had all the essentials needed + more . It is a very quiet location and all you will be able to hear are the birds and other wildlife . Its about a 20 minute drive from Bude which is a lovely seaside town with easy parking . The hot tub was a great addition and we used it every morning and night. This place is great for your dog too as they can be kept within the lodge area safely. We needed to see a vet out of hours and i can recommend the one listed in the welcome pack , they were pleasant and attentive, when dealing with us at 4am and the price was much cheaper than we would normally pay . Overall i would give our experience of staying here a comfortable 10/10

Lovely quiet retreat
Had a wonderful stay in this place. Very well equipped. Shower lovely and hot tub great, decking areas were lovely. In fact it was all pretty great, beds comfy, blankets duvet clean and new, loved it. Close by beach and good restaurants, just what we needed. Tiny lanes, which were great fun as we felt like we were really away from hustle and bustle of home, navigating our way to new areas of Devon and Cornwall. Thank yiu so much. Xx

Very Enjoyable Break
Had a great week at the lodge, very well kitted out, wanted for nothing. Explored the coast up and down and the dogs loved every moment of it.

About the host

Hosted by Dr Julie Cherry

Host profile image
We are a husband and wife team with three happy dogs, our sons having now flown the nest. We now live on the Island of Anglesey, but have found ourselves drawn to the West Country (separately, then together) since we were children.
We are walkers, cyclists, (wind)surfers, nature-lovers and general ocean-adorers
One of us is an IT consultant (hence all the gadgets at the lodge!) and the other a veterinary surgeon

Why they chose this property

We had stayed in another lodge on the site which belonged to close friends several times with our dogs, but by chance we came to "have a look around" when this one came up for sale and we just fell in love with it. It has the biggest footprint and luxury of all the lodges on the site, having been extensively renovated, it has just the two bedrooms and therefore lots of space. Please note it is not suitable for children under 7 years.
We love visiting throughout the seasons.
This is our fifth year of sharing with visitors.
We really hope you love our "Shed" as much as us, please look after it and enjoy a drink on the decking or the sofa, admiring the view just as we do!

What makes this property unique

Peaceful:
Although set in a holiday park, there are few external amenities apart from the natural world, which means one avoids the hubbub of life. One of our neighbouring lodge-owners even watches the stars as there is very little light-pollution, it can be very dark!
Hypoallergenic:
One of the owners is asthmatic and so cleaning materials and bedding are kept as perfume-free and hypoallergenic as is possible, but note that dogs have been present as we have our own too, and also this (means apologies to smokers) we do not allow smokers at all, not even for smoking outside.
Well-equipped and tastefully furnished:
Because it is our home into which you are welcomed
Jacuzzi: Visitors are welcome to use this - it's lovely after a bracing Spring surf or Winter dog walk as well as in the warmer months. Instructions for maintenance would need to be followed by yourselves during your stay if you use it frequently (usually just a dipstick test).
