Langdale Lodge

A super little lodge.

It had everything we needed. The hosts Julie and Mike were very friendly. The setting was very peaceful. We will go back.

I couldn't have chosen a better location or accommodation for a relaxing getaway.

Everything was perfect, from clear directions to get there, cleanliness, comfy bed and sofa, toasty warm on arrival. If you want peace and quiet with wildlife outside your window this is the place for you. Mike the owner showed me the walk around the small holding, introducing me to the sheep,goats,donkeys and his gorgeous dog Ruby. The wildlife cameras around the lake showed live footage of tawny owls, squirrels, geese and many bird species, with night footage of foxes,otters and badgers emailed the following day. The bird feeders feet away from the lodge had an endless supply of small birds feeding from them. Can't wait to return to this little slice of heaven in Devon.

Excellent property for nature lovers.

Small raised cabin with all amenities including wood stove, comfortable bed, reclining sofa & large picture window overlooking the wonderful rolling hills, trees and lake. The property is located in a small friendly Devon village with thatched cottages, beautiful old church, village hall, good pub & lovely local walks. Everything is provided to enhance your stay including comfortable outdoor seating with warm blankets, chiminea and a lovely Devon cream tea on arrival. Bird feeders are positioned close to the deck with frequent visits from gold finches, chaffinches, great tits, blue tits, robins & others. You can wander around the lake & listen to the wildlife and visit the owners donkeys, goats & sheep. The cabin has wildlife cameras positioned around the lake, live streamed to the TV to view the wildlife including Tawny Owls & Jays. Mike the owner will also send you night footage you may have missed including otter, badger & fox. We had a wonderful relaxing break & will be back.

We had a lovely week here in February.

The rental property is private, and perfectly positioned on an incredibly peaceful smallholding. But being on the edge of a small village it was only a short walk to the local pub which serves really good food. Being able to watch the local wildlife on the tv screen was a real treat. We had a delicious welcome pack. Although compact the accommodation had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back.

We had a lovely weekend away.

The cottage is just far enough off the beaten path that you feel 'away' but you are still close enough to be convenient. We enjoyed sitting by the fire and watching the video life-feed of the local wildlife.

We are just back from a wonderful week's stay at Langdale Lodge.

It is such a comfortable, cozy little retreat. The owners kindly let you walk around the lake (which can be viewed from the lodge). A perect place to explore west Devon from, but to be honest you would love staying local so much you would not need to go far to experience the beautiful surrounding countryside. We have already booked for next year. Our cocker loved all the new walks and smells. Loads of wildlife as well.

A beautiful little Lodge - compact but packed with everything you need for your stay.

There were fresh scones with clotted cream and jam when we arrived which were delicious. The views along the field and lake were just stunning and access to the camera traps to watch the wildlife up close was fantastic too! Our dog loved it too with so many lovely lanes to walk down and woodland treks to explore, it was amazing for all of us. The place is very well appointed and maintained and we had the best time there and visiting the surrounding area. We did manage to cook some simple meals on the 2 ring hob but there is also a very lovely pub up the lane. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Mike was on hand if we needed anything. We would love to come back again in the spring to watch nature come back to life. Lovely place and would certainly recommend:-)

We had a wonderful time.

It was peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed watching the wildlife cctv and the videos sent to us each morning by Mike. Walking the dog around the property and the sheep, goats and donkeys were a joy. The lodge was everything the listing said it was. Mike was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning next year. If you want a place to relax and chill this is the place to come.

It was a pleasure to stay here, loved the recliners , great for resting our legs.

The view was beautiful and relaxing, great to see the animals. Enclosed garden for the dog , so she could run around

A very cosy and comfortable place to stay, with a beautiful outlook over a meadow.

Very peaceful and restful, and the owners are there if you need them, but not intrusive in any way. The bed and sofa are very comfortable and the lodge is really well equipped. We enjoyed watching the live feed from the wildlife cameras. This was our second visit, and I've no doubt we will be back again.

We had a very relaxing time, the lodge is in beautiful surroundings in a lovely village.

The lodge itself is perfect for what you need and has all the amenities required. The owners Mike and Julie are so welcoming and friendly and we can't thank them enough. I'm sure we'll come to stay again soon!

If you are looking for a wonderful, peaceful place to stay on a break away, Langdale Lodge is a must.

Set on a farm, you have a beautiful view from the living area looking out on to fields, lake and farm animals. We stayed during winter, which at times was quite a wet period but it was lovely, we chose to stay in and lit the fire which warms up the lodge and makes it nice and cosy. One of the most amazing things about the lodge is the wildlife cameras that you can watch. The farm is blessed with lots of wild animals and Mike kindly sends updates if there is anything exciting that comes through during the night. We spent most of our time when in the lodge with it running, periodically checking out what there was about and saw owls, mice, birds, geese, ducks and a rabbit. Those staying over the spring period will have such fun watching the owl houses too if there are owlets! The lodge has great facilities, the bed is comfortable, shower has good power, you can cook using the all in one and stove top. The settee is amazing as it’s a recliner, so you can sit back and relax whilst looking out of the huge window or watching the TV, which has the ability to login to any streaming services you might wish to. The wifi is good if you need to use. If going in better weather, there’s a lovely outdoor seating area on the decking. It’s all enclosed which was perfect for us and our little dog to be out in. We were made to feel very welcome upon arrival and even got to purchase some eggs from the hens on the farm. Thank you also to Mike who allowed us to say hello to the some of the farm animals too which was really special. We look forward to hopefully coming back again in a warmer period to enjoy all the fun things Devon and the lodge has to offer in a different season. Highly recommend staying here.

What a wonderful wooden lodge!

It was warm and cosy. Everything we needed. Logs were available from Mike for the log burner stove. And a total 'brucy bonus' was the sofa - it's an electric reclining sofa!!!! Perfect for relaxing and watching the TV in the evening. Mike the owner has a wildlife channel so that you can watch wildlife on the large grounds in real time on the TV. The bed is soooo comfortable. The lodge is enclosed by an electric wooden gate which has a fob key making life easier. The views from the large picture window in the living area (and from the bed as the lodge is a studio layout: living room, kitchen, bedroom, all in one area) is truely beautiful. It overlooks a field and a large pond in the distance and of corse the rolling green hills. A truely beautiful setting! Very romantic. Dog friendly as the decking and side garden are safely enclosed. Certainly a five star lodge in our opinion for a romantic get-away.

My wife and I stayed from 26th January to 2nd February and enjoyed every minute, it was everything we could’ve wished for, peaceful, inspiring and totally different to anywhere we had ever stayed before.

The added bonus was being able to get so close to the wildlife, we particularly enjoyed having the donkeys coming right up to the property also our host made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived..we will definitely make a return visit. Rob and Carole Byrne

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay over Christmas.

The owners really have thought of everything in the lodge. There is a beautiful view from the picture window and watching the birds on the feeders , along with the wildlife cameras on the TV was lovely. We didn't see anything live but Mike kindly sent us footage of the otter,owl and hedgehog. We enjoyed breakfast at Sam's Cider and a trip to Teignmouth . There's lots to do nearby but we were there to rest and relax and the lodge was perfect for this. So cosy with yhe woodburner and comfy sofa. Thank you for the Christmas decorations too! A great place to chill or use as a base for exploring.

We had the most amazing stay in the lodge, perfect location and setting.

We would highly recommend this to anyone and will definitely be back again. Log burner was an absolute treat as was seeing all the wildlife on camera and on the farm. Thanks for all the little touches too. 5 star!

Beautiful location and love the wildlife webcams - saw a tawny owl in the owl box!

Excellent distance from the various walks on Dartmoor we had planned. Hosts friendly and approachable. Property all on the flat, compact but not too small, and excellent value. Bathroom/Kitchen had all the functionality needed and we really enjoyed our stay. For us, the bed was super soft and we didn't sleep super well as a result, but thats a personal thing, and is the only reason I didn't give it 10/10. Otherwise, absolutely perfect, and really enjoyable stay amongst the sheep, goats and donkeys! Lovely and quiet, private place to stay.

Langdale Lodge is an annual pilgrimage to a slice of Devon is truly heaven where the hosts are angelic in their intuition concerning the the appropriate degree of suggestions and interaction etc They are always there when you need them ever helpful and cheerful.

They have much to be cheerful about living in their idyllic location

A super little hideaway, set amongst beautiful countryside with a wealth of nature to see - made especially unique with the owners cctv so that you can sit and watch everything that's going on around you from the comfort of the lodge - so even when the weather's bad, you still feel very much part of the experience.

Everything you need for a comfy stay supplied, very friendly hosts - with some lovely farm animals on site - an idyllic location for those that want peace and quiet away from it all - just perfect!

Perfect place to relax and unwind gorgeous views in a fantastic setting.

Would highly recommend. It was everything we wanted and more!, will be booking again!

What a gem!

Fabulous little lodge, beautiful view, peaceful and quiet. The lodge has everything needed to make a stay comfortable and laid-back. Mike and Julie are friendly hosts. We enjoyed our week so much, we extended our stay!

This is such a relaxing place to stay.

The lodge is very cosy and the owners have thought of everything you might need during your visit. We especially loved the picture window with the view of the lake. The owners are helpful and friendly without being intrusive in any way. We arrived home feeling refreshed and rested.

Lovely cosy Lodge, beautiful surroundings, CCTV of pond and stream, and Eagle nest was great, definable will return

We enjoyed our stay at Langdale Lodge, the setting and accommodation were perfect.

Particularly enjoyed the wildlife cameras and the lakeside setting. We loved the village and the hosts were very welcoming.

A super lodge tucked away in a very small village fantastic to relax and recharge your batteries a very adequate kitchen lovely little gadgets such as recharges in the plug sockets I didn't know you can get!

Really good TV channels if you just don't feel like doing anything and it's so nice to watch the wildlife . I didn't use the pub just down the road as I bought my own food being gluten-free and other stuff

Langdale lodge is exactly what it says in the description peacefull restful and well laid out one of the best things about this lodge is the wildlife cameras that is linked through the TV so addictive to watch day/night vision The lodge is well situated to get out and about to enjoy Devon and Cornwall The local pub/restaurant is also worth visiting nice beers with excellent food Any questions Mike is always out and about ready to stop and chat and tell you about the area

Lovely cosy lodge & Doggy friendly!

Great view of the lake sadly no otters but plenty of Geese, Mike was great at sending us videos of the owl boxes, we were also able to watch the wildlife on the TV! Clean & tidy very comfy bed, a toaster would be great! Scones jam & cream was a lovely surprise too. Thank you for a lovely stay mike & Julie

Langdale lodge couldn’t have been more perfect!

I took my boyfriend here for a birthday week away and it exceeded all of my expectations. It’s so lovely being close to sheep and goats and watching the birds outside whilst sat on the sofa was so wonderful. The lodge is equipped with everything you need and it’s just such a cute and peaceful little space. We loved the log burner and being able to watch wildlife on the tv from the various cameras around the farm is such a unique and wonderful treat. And walking distance to a pub - what more do you need! I miss it already! I couldn’t have asked for a better week away!

The Lodge was very cosy and had a great view across the lake.

Mike very kindly send me some videos of an otter who visited the river feeding into the lake.

Pros.

Langdale Lodge is a real treasure. It's quiet but not remote set on the edge of the village. Good pub for meals, coffee and cake just down the road. View wild life from the lounge. Cons. We struggled with the combination oven. A separate toaster would help. We are planning a return visit.

Property as advertised and we were extremely satisfied with the facilities, the setting and rapport with the owners who were very helpful and informative.

Ideal for those looking for peace and tranquility in a lovely Devonian village. Central for a number of locations to visit.

We really enjoyed our time at the cottage.

A perfect place to de-stress and unwind. The farm animals and birds were entertaining and CCTV also provided live footage of the surrounding wildlife. Wifi was excellent with Netflix and Prime ready for streaming, much appreciated by my teenage daughter. Cream tea was delicious and much needed on arrival. Mike was extremely helpful in guiding about local areas, beaches and walks. I will definitely be back soon.

We really enjoyed our stay.

The accommodation was beautiful and really well thought out. The views were beautiful and so much wildlife around. The village is so pretty and everyone is very friendly. A lovely place to visit and totally relax and recharge. We'll be back!

Beautiful and peaceful If you like nature and wildlife this is this to place to relax Woodpeckers on feeders right outside, Updates from the host on otter activity It was a joy to stay Thank You

There is a sign on the door which says “Welcome.

Come in relax and enjoy!” The stresses and strains of daily life ebb away swiftly as one loses ones’ self in the tranquility of the epic vista as the land slopes down through long waving grasses and poppies to the otter-inhabited lake with ducks and teaming wildlife; then climbs to bleating sheep-filled fields: thence to the scene of the historic Prayer Book rebellion of 1549. As one sits outside one watches woodpeckers,finches, robins, redstarts, blackbirds, sparrows,geese, ducks, squirrels,birds of prey, goats, sheep, otters and badgers- all at close quarters. Inside there is a nine camera monitor available 24/7 where one can watch the otters,ducks,badgers and others from the comfort of the sofa. Set on the edge of a very pretty village with church and pub this is a fabulous location for easy to reach travel to both coasts north Cornwall and many pretty villages, market towns and cathedral city. As was once famously said: “I ll be back!”

We originally booked this venue in order to escape from some very dusty carpentry work at our home for a few days.

We needed an accessible building in a quiet area with good facilities and reviews. How LUCKY we were! From the cream tea waiting in the fridge on our arrival to the fabulous, easy to use, wood burning stove. From incredible scenic views through our picture window to the livestream wildlife camera coverage system. The facilities really are first class here. The owner, Mike, is always contactable but never intrusive and always happy to help. We really enjoyed watching the wild birds visiting the feeders from the covered decking area and the antics of a flock of wild geese who seemed to spend much of their time in the paddock between the cabin and the lake below. We didn't do much sightseeing because we already had everything we needed in this wonderfully private and beautiful place. However, we did buy plenty of delicious local farm food within a 5 mile drive, after which a walk to explore the many tracks and fields was most welcome. Don't hesitate to book this very special place if you get the chance! Kind regards, Rosie and Juls.

Lovely cosy lodge.

Gorgeous view to wake up to each morning and comfortable retreat to come back to in the evening. Fascinating to learn about the wildlife from the owner. It was a perfect break for us and Connie the Springer spaniel thoroughly enjoyed it too.

It was a wonderful, cosy property in a quiet village.

The location was good for exploring the county. It was an absolute gem if you are a nature lover as it had a lake where you could observe geese, heron, otters, squirrels and owls. A variety of garden birds also visited the bird table. We would highly recommend this lodge for a holiday in Devon.

Had a lovely week in the lodge a great base to get back to after a day out .

Such a lovely quite and relaxing stay just what we needed for our anniversary!

!

Had a wonderful stay cottage and area we're great, Mike the owner was very helpful and sent us video's from his camera's of otters and barn owl.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Langdale Lodge.

The location was excellent to use as a base from which you can spend several days exploring the Moors and the many historical sites within. We particularly enjoyed the wildlife cameras which are scattered across the grounds - thank you to Mike for sharing video clips of the nature (Owls, Woodpeckers, Kingfishers, Otters and Moorhens amongst others). After a long day of exploring the wood-burner is a particular plus, which very quickly warmed up the lodge. Would certainly recommend to any couple looking for a few days break away from the busy world...

the peace and quiet,perfect view, privacy,owners cctv bringing live shots from 4 camera,s 24/7from around his lake.

didn,t want to come home, hope to return next year.

The holiday was good except for one particular thing.

As the bed was pushed right against the wall it was difficult for one of us getting in and out of the bed. Did cause some problems in the night. Apart from that all was good.

The cabin had everything we needed to spend a great week in Devon, it’s such a cosy place.

We particularly enjoyed the amazing view and the cctv cameras to spot the local animals (Buttons, the owners’ cat, is also really friendly). The sofa is a recliner so that was a great surprise and we also liked the log burner. Every detail had been carefully thought out: there was even a basket for cream tea! Overall it was a great experience.

We had a very relaxing holiday at Langdale Lodge despite the disappointing July weather.

The lodge was very cosy and tastefully decorated and had everything we needed should we want to cook a meal. The outdoor space was super with a lovely view of the owners' meadow and lake. We particularly loved the bird feeders with many different birds visiting each day and the wildlife cameras. It was so peaceful. The village is very pretty and you can walk to the local pub in minutes. It is a great base for exploring Dartmoor with some fantastic walks near Oakehampton. We would certainly book again.
