About this property
Swanpool, Great Field Lodges - a lodge that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom
Modern open plan living and a gorgeous setting on the North Devon coast, make this beach lodge the perfect retreat for two.
One of only three luxury lodges on an exclusive site in Braunton, this bright and airy property is open plan in design and invites total relaxation in a tranquil setting. Unwind in the beautifully styled living area or whip up a special meal together in the amply equipped bijou kitchen; stepping out through the French doors will lead you onto your huge, covered deck where a pair of sun loungers tempt a spot of sunbathing or catching up on a good book or two.
The lodge's master bedroom has a sumptuous king size bed and a large, contemporary bath with separate shower. Floor to ceiling windows make the most of the views out to the garden and provide a beautiful backdrop for a morning lie-in or breakfast in bed.
With so many lovely walks to embark on in the area including the wonderful sandy stretch at Saunton Sands, we can't think of a better way to end an adventure-filled day than by sinking into the private hot tub and enjoying a blissful evening beneath the stars.
Pets: 2 pets allowed, a fixed fee of £25 per dog for a short stay of 2-4 night stays and £40 per dog for a 7+ night stay is chargeable, in line with our house rules we do ask that pets are not left alone in the property, do not use the furniture or go in the bedroom areas.
Good Housekeeping Bond We ask our guests for a £50 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay.

Amazing Holiday
The lodge was clean and comfortable, plenty big enough for the two of us and a dog. It had everything we needed. It felt so peaceful and quiet. It was great to have an enclosed garden where we could sit outside with the dog. The hot tub was such a treat. No complaints, we had such a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend and would go back if we ever return to the area.

Cozy hidden gem perfect for couples getaway.
We knew when we arrived at this wonderful lodge that we would have an amazing week. And we did just that, using the relaxing hot tub (checked every day) and modern facilities which had everything we could need. We loved lots of the little details and practical features of this secluded chalet which seemed specifically put out for our stay. The location was perfect for beach goers or hikers with many beautiful places near, while also being helpfully close to local shops and restaurants.

Easy check in, beautiful lodge. Even though the weather wasn't kind to us we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Hot tub was clean and a lovely temperature, everything in the lodge had been thought of carefully you don't have to think about taking anything! Would love to return when the sun is shining

Seabrook Lodge
We had a wonderful stay at Swanpool and could not find anything negative about the property. The lodge was spacious, comfortable, well furnished, amazing bathroom, great hot tub, and lovely grounds. The lodge was in an orchard which we loved and we even went home with some apples. The welcome gifts of milk, prosecco, and shortbread were a nice touch. Sarah was really friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We bought some farm potatoes and sweetcorn when we left. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

Mini moon magic!
We couldn't fault this place. Stayed here for 5 days following our wedding. It was completely perfect. It has everything we needed and to such a high standard too. Sarah was extremely attentive if we needed things, and the hot tub was checked daily. It's extremely secluded and private. Very peaceful and the shower was excellent, bed super comfy. I cannot find anything that wasn't perfect. We will definitely be recommending to all our friends and hope to stay again! Thank you, Clare and Luke.

A.superb experience
Our first time spending time in your lovely lodge in Braunton. The lodge is decorated to a high standard. The communication from booking to the end of our stay was excellent. The facilities and what was provided was both personal and thoughtful. The area was lovely and with the information provided from an extensive list from eateries, local beaches, dog friendly places it added so much to the experience.
Would highly recommended, the price for the time of year was great value for money and will certainly be back again.
Thank you for a lovely adventure, the weather you cannot control, but everything else was all down to your preparation and care.

Excellent luxury stay
We have stayed at great field lodges twice now and will return . The location for us close to saunton beach for our dog is brilliant as it’s the most fabulous dog friendly beach . Also the beachside grill is excellent. Braunton also walkable . Little shop only 8 mins walk too on the housing estate opposite . The lodges r always clean and comfortable. Good choice of tv channels .
Hot tub so good . Garden is large and safe . We really benefited this time from the use of the EV charger which is quite a fast one too . Nothing to dislike here . Perfect dog friendly stay .

Wonderful private getaway with a lot of thoughtful touches
We found Swanpool searching for dog friendly holidays in North Devon and were so glad we decided to spend a bit more to stay there rather than a small apartment in Croyde or Woolacombe.
There were so many lovely thoughtful touches from the owners on our arrival, including milk and bubbly in the fridge, dressing gowns and a basket of treats and handy items for the dog.
Everything was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with pretty much any item you would need for cooking and the hot tub was so relaxing we could have stayed in there all day (although as a very light sleeper it was a little loud during the night, I assume to maintain its temperature). The garden was quiet and private and you wouldn't know there were other lodges next door.
Would definitely recommend staying there and we're already thinking about going back next year.

Lovely peaceful location
This is a lovely lodge. Everything you need if you want to self cater, but plenty of places in Braunton and surrounding area to eat out. The only thing we had was a "rattle" on the hot tub when the pump started up which was a little distracting as it was situated on the decking near the bedroom, but when you went to sleep was ok. Husband spoke to Sarah she was gonna get it looked at, think it may just need some insulation round a pipe. The only other thing was the sofa was a little hard but then that is probably just a personel thing. The bed was nice and comfortable and the bathroom was lovely. Outside is lovely garden area and decking with hot tub and nice places to sit and relax.
We would definitley be back.

Fab lodge
Visiting from East Yorkshire, this was our first stay in Devon. We holidayed at the Swanpool lodge for one week. The lodge was perfect for our needs, spotlessly clean, super comfy king-size bed, amazing shower, all the kitchen amenities and some. The outdoor garden, decking and hot tub was brilliant, all very secure. We greatly welcomed the outdoor cupboard for storing our boots and drying our coats. All of the lodges are extremely private.
Unfortunately, the weather was not kind to us during our stay. This prevented us and our small dog from enjoying the outdoor garden and meant we wasn't able to take advantage of the wonderful nearby walks and stunning dunes due to bogged fields, driving winds, rain and puddles. We needed to use the car and spend more time finding indoor refuge from the rain and wind more than we would have preferred, sadly Devon is not the motorists friend. We was hit with parking fees wherever we went, nearby Woolacombe beachfront carpark charged £12 after 1pm regardless of time spent in there, word of warning, use the on-street parking its better value. If we lived closer we would most definately return as the landscapes and scenery are stunning, we just wish the sky would have been blue!
Thank you Sarah for a comfortable peaceful retreat.

Peaceful and secluded
Very comfy clean lodge the hot tub was excellent and much enjoyed, area surprisingly very quite and with a secluded garden area, a very nice clean kitchen we did not use dishwasher but nice to have my preference would be a small washing machine but that would not deter us from returning, the bathroom was very luxurious would definitely return next year
