The property

Ideal for couples seeking a Devon escape with a touch of storybook imagination, this characterful lodge invites you to step through a front door styled like a wardrobe, with coats leading the way into a world of snowy tree-lined walls, leafy detailing, and a striking lion statue that adds a memorable flourish from the very beginning.

Light the woodburning stove as evening settles in, stretch out in the sitting area, and enjoy a film on the Smart TV after a day exploring the Devon countryside.
