The lodge is at the end of a tree-lined track, with two woodland trails close by, one leading to Haldon Forest Centre and Go Ape. The lodge offers a quiet sanctuary where guests can relax and unwind in the hot tub taking in the scenery and varied wildlife that call the woods home. And, if you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the local deer or the many birds of prey that soar above the treetops. With a covered bike store next to the lodge, you can explore the bike trails in one of Devon's most popular mountain biking destinations. Inside the lodge you will find everything you need in the kitchen to show off your culinary skills and prepare a delicious meal after a day of adventure in the forest. Although you may feel like you're in the wilderness, there is a fully licensed American diner just a few hundred metres from the lodge which is open from breakfast until late. Further afield the historic city of Exeter is a 10 minute drive away, great for a spot of retail therapy or taking in the varied history on offer, such as the cathedral and historic quay. If you are craving the fresh sea air and the feel of sand between your toes, Dawlish Warren and Exmouth are both close by, perfect for lazy days by the coast. Whatever your perfect holiday looks like, once you get back to Haldon Forest Lodge you have the perfect space to relax and unwind in comfort. \## Two small dogs are permitted at the property.

Having the nearby shops was a bonus for any forgotten items of food, BBQ coal etc. The hosts were very friendly and made us feel welcome from day 1 and were on hand for any issues should they arise (which they didn't) We would recommend this lodge for any couple or family up to 5-6 people - 5 stars ##### Wayne D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 4 Jul 2023 #### Amazing not sure where to start. The lodge was beautiful, fully equipped, spotlessly clean and in a lovely setting. We received a very warm welcome from the hosts. The hot tub was hot and clean. Very relaxing place to be, got to see the Deer from the deck. Lots to see and do in the area if inclined. Great location for visiting the Moors or the coast, about a 30 min drive to the coast. Lots of places to eat in the vicinity although not walking distance. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara S. 15 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday Treat Beautiful accommodation, really friendly couple who ran it. ##### Tara S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian G. 4 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### "Simply Magical" Tucked away, in beautiful surroundings, the owners are clearly passionate in providing a wonderful experience for guests. The hot tub was immaculate and simply magical in the evenings after visiting local attractions, so much was the pleasure of staying at Haldon forest lodge, the TV never went on once! ##### Ian G.
