We will be back! ##### Mary E. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### sean p. 4 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A lovely spot to stay We really enjoyed our stay. The location suited us really well. It’s on the river with paths in both directions directly from the door. The pub across the river is really cosy and serves good beer. It’s also a good spot for access to other parts of Exmoor. The cottage was very clean and reasonably comfortable. We liked the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen is very cosy with the Aga stove. However it was exceptionally cold during our stay and the central heating was not enough to make other rooms comfortable. Although it was not an issue for us, parking up the hill and having to cross a bridge by foot to access the property may not suit everyone. ##### sean p.

Wonderful walk along the riverbank in both directions. Short drive from Lynton and the breah-taking clifftop walk to Valley of Rocks. Highlight was watching the cattle drive across the ford which passed within feet of the riverview room. All in all a very enjoyable stay. ##### Michael C.

We felt like we were in a fairy tale, nestled in the woods and listening to the stream running by. The host was responsive to our messages and helpful. I hope we get to go back--but for longer the next time. (The stairs up to the bedrooms and bathroom were fine for us but I could see how they might be too narrow and steep for some with less mobility.) Overall, it was a great holiday and perfect location. ##### Shelley J.

We had a fabulous time at the Lodge! This house is a gem... like walking into the country place you wish your family had had when you were growing up! Our family (myself, my husband, 2 teenagers and a small dog) had such a magical stay for one week of the Easter break. We love how so many of the details and history of the lodge have been preserved, and we felt very at home right away. Walking over the footbridge to the property, waking up and walking out straight onto the river bank, going to sleep with the lovely warm blankets listening to the river... we all felt so comfortable and at home. Being able to walk straight out to the trail (definitely walk to Watersmeet!) and nip across the river for a beverage at the lovely Rockford Inn was exactly what we needed, and the coast and all it has to offer is just a short drive away. We can't wait to come back in the summer so we can take a dip in the river and hit the water at some of the local beaches. Thank you, Lucy, for a lovely stay! ##### Leah C. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S. 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A very comfortable and quiet retreat We had just three nights at Rockford Lodge, but it was a beautiful, peaceful place in which to escape from everything. I have never had the opportunity to stay anywhere so close to a river, but by the end we were wishing we could take a little part of the East Lyn home with us. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed, including in the kitchen (and it was great to be able to cook with an Aga that was identical to one we used to have when I was young :) ). Walks from the property were remarkably beautiful. Wifi was fast and reliable. Great to have so many books and games in the cottage - could easily have stayed for a few weeks just sitting and reading! Parking was tight on the first try but was easy once I'd worked out where to position the car...and the car park in Brendon just up the road was very useful to be able to turn around and head in the opposite direction. The trips to unload and reload the car took some effort but the road was quiet and it was good exercise :) The back of the cottage is quite dark as it is built into the hill, but this turned out to be part of the cozy attraction of the place, and there was plenty of light to the front. Very well-looked-after garden. Great location to explore the North Devon and Somerset coasts, and wider Exmoor just to the south. Beautiful and memorable. Thank you! ##### David S.

Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A beautiful lodge but hard on the legs The lodge and the setting are lovely, there is everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Fishing rods, walking equipment, toys, games, books, washing machine, iron, I could go on. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were spacious. There is a secure garden which was great as we took our dog. The river is 10 steps away from the gate which was perfect for cooling off and fishing. The downside was the hills. We knew we could not park at the lodge, the car park is about 200 yards away but up a very steep hill. My husband has a Lung and heart condition and we ended up leaving early because he physically could not carry on with the terrain. All the pubs in the local area were closed and the nearest shop was a good 15 minute drive along narrow, steep roads. Whilst we enjoyed our time there, we would not book again due to the severity of the hills and no phone signal at all. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire D. 13 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rockford cottage Lovely period cottage in the small village of Rockford.

Host was very accommodating and friendly! ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information) ---
