Although all lodges are furnished and laid out identically the images are representational as each lodge is positioned differently on site.

Soak your cares away in your very own private hot tub while enjoying views over some of the most beautiful stretches of rural Devonshire countryside. Enjoying a peaceful setting and contemporary styling, this gorgeous lodge features open plan living and spacious accommodation throughout with two beautiful bedrooms and a large, wraparound deck creating a relaxing refuge away from a busy lifestyle.

Sleekly designed and beautifully equipped, the living / dining area provides a chic social hub to relax and unwind in, while a modern kitchen is perfectly suited to whipping up even the most decadent of meals. Two sets of glazed doors open on to the property’s private terrace where a table and seating make for the ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee. Take in the quiet atmosphere or enjoy the views from the indulgent hot tub; you’ll feel a million miles away from it all in no time.

Special occasions or romantic dinners can also be shared at The Coach House restaurant, where beautifully presented and delicious locally sourced dishes are created daily.

Travel cot and high chair are available on request

Perfect long weekend away, it can be hard to find a location that can accommodate pets but Kentisbury Grange couldn't have been more accommodating, even providing a pet bed. The lodge is spacious with stunning views and only a short drive to the national park and beaches, the hot tub on the terrace was a great bonus. The staff at the restaurant were super friendly and helpful, even providing recommendations on where to visit during our stay. The lodge would benefit from a slight update as there were a couple of faulty items, but nothing that impacted our stay. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Lodge 11 was in a lovely location and very well equipped with spacious bedrooms and comfortable lounge it was larger than I expected unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to use the hot tub. I would definitely recommend this accommodation however I cannot say the same for the restaurant we had Sunday lunch which was very disappointing the meat, vegetables and Yorkshire puddings we’re cold! a very bland meal.

We booked one of these beautiful lodges for a 4 night break and were blown away. What a wonderful spot...quiet, tranquil. Each lodge has a lovely outlook. Ours looked over a lake and we spent hours watching swallows dip onto the water and fly off again and ducks with their chicks enjoying the peace. It was such a restful break. The Coach House restaurant within the grounds does excellent locally sourced food and drink and there is also a fantastic hotel in the original Gentlemen's Residence that dates back to 1894. We took our dog with us and she was welcome in all areas. Highly ecommend Kentisbury Grange as a relaxing getaway. In a fantastic location near to Leyton, Lynmouth, Woolacomb and Barnstaple all a short drive away.

The lodge is set in beautiful grounds and looking out over a well kept lake with goldfish and coy carp in. The lodge was amazing and very spacious. The hot tub was ready on arrival and was a joy. My only negative is the roads to the lodge and surrounding areas were a bit scary as we were driving through the hills, but the scenery is breath taking. I highly recommend this place, very peaceful and relaxing.

Amazing food and hospitality
Lodge was nice however it really could do with an update as laminate flooring is worn and could do a with refresh with something more water resistant due to the hot tub and doors are knackered with handles hanging off

We stayed for 5 days (march) the location is amazing along with the set up. Yes the lodges are absolutely beautiful but could do with a bit of updating regarding worm floors and cupboard edges. The hot tub was beautiful. The kitchen is full of top (smeg) gadgets, which took a while to get used too ... a little memo regarding the oven - you have to set the timer for it to heat up. You get lovely little welcome pack for the kitchen. Although I would maybe suggest the washing machine should be cleaned every other week as it was a bit smelly. Bit it didn't effect my clothes once they were washed. It really was a lovely stay.
I also spoke to the lady about the worn floors and she said it was on the to do list for all lodges, although they are dog friendly so you do expect a but of wear and tear. Lovely touch of a dog bed too, although our dog didn't use it, as he prefers to snuggle with us as we took our own covers for the sofa.

Would definitely recommend. All the staff here are so lovely and couldn't do enough for us. The food in the restaurant was delicious and good value for money.
The lodges are very nice and modern. Bed super comfy. If I had to pick one negative it would be the sofa was a bit dirty but that would not stop us from returning. Overall we loved it here.

The location is beautiful and has breathtaking views of the countryside. The lodge was very nice, had all the things you need for a home away from home. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the customer service was exceptional. Had dinner at The Coach House restaurant and the food was amazing, would recommend anyone to try it. Definitely will be staying there again :-)

We really enjoyed the stay. The staff were really helpful and so friendly! The lodge itself was a really lovely, but it wasn’t cleaned to the standard I’d expect. There were dog hairs everywhere and the windows and glass surfaces had smudges everywhere. It was tidy, but not clean. There were a few holes in the decking which caused a couple of trips!

On the whole, the hot tub was wonderful, the location was excellent, the setting by the lake was magical, the bathrooms/ bedrooms with perfect and the staff were really professional.

A great comfortable lodge, ideal location for exploring North Devon and the surrounding countryside. The lodge itself was situated next to a lake which provided lots of wildlife to see both during the day and early evening whilst relaxing in the hot tub.
We’ll definitely re-visit and stay here.

On arrival we were happy with the cabin location on the side of the landscaped pond, but when inside the cabin it was clear to us that the cabin was very tired and needed some updating. The floors were worn out, some kitchen cupboards were losing their laminate and the sofas were grubby. The beds were not very comfortable either.
Although this was disappointing, on the plus side the kitchen was well appointed with good quality appliances, as were the bathrooms. There were also good quality bath towels and bathrobes.
There were TVs in both bedrooms and one in the bathroom but, unfortunately these didn’t work and we requested someone to repair this with no result.
I don’t think because we have a dog, that we should be given a poor quality cabin. At over £600 for three nights, it’s not the best value when the quality of the cabin is let down by a few easy fixes inside.

We stayed at the accommodation over the Easter weekend and we loved the place. The rooms were nice and clean and so was the kitchen! Definitely recommend!

There was small damage on the hot tub but besides that the rest was spot on

Our four days in Clifton Lodge, Kentisbury Grange were delightful - even the January rain didn't dampen our enthusiasm.
The lodge was even better than depicted on the website; it was spacious, warm, clean, well-equipped- we were even provided with two dog beds for our 4- pawed companions. The view of the lake, with its visiting ducks and secret koi was lovely, the use of well placed conifers to shield and shelter the hot tub was effective as was the well-thought out gate at the end of the terrace.
Each lodge was very 'private' a fact which is not done justice in the advertising photos.
Only one small observation - we were a family with two adult children- our son and daughter commented that the single beds were a little small - perhaps more for younger children - not that this was a 'big deal' - the hot tub made up for any crunched overnight limbs!
The reception staff were friendly and efficient.
