Fantastic few days

Luke's Lodge is a fantastic place to stay with loads of character and absolutely everything you could possibly need. Ideally situated in the fantastic Finlake Resort, in easy walking distance of all the amenities. The decking and hot tub were amazing, and we had a lovely, relaxing time. The check-in process was very easy, and the whole stay went very smoothly. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings. 5 Stars all round!

Relaxing after working

My wife and I stayed at The Coach House while I was working in the area, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The cottage is cosy, beautifully maintained, and in a fantastic location for exploring both Dartmoor and the coast. After long days out (or at work), we loved relaxing in front of the fire or enjoying the peaceful garden. Thoughtful touches like the prosecco on arrival and a well-equipped kitchen made it feel like a real home from home. Highly recommended!

Great location right on the moor

House was warm and comfortable. What really recommends this place is its location. You can walk out of the property and go exploring in any direction without getting in the car. A few tors, the Warren House pub and Grimpound (bronze age settlement) are all within a manageable distance with young children (ours 3 +7).

Short trip to Dartmoor

This was a lovely house, well laid out, very confortable, clean and cosy and all you could hear was the brook rushing by down by the bridge and the occasional bird.

Lovely, quiet getaway for families

The barn was clean and spacious with everything you need to relax with family or a group of friends. There was plenty of space in the garden for children to run around in the fresh air and it is well-located to go towards either stretch of Devonshire coastline and Exeter too. Allison was a very attentive host and would respond very quickly to any messages we sent.
