About this property

Beckford Lodge is a well appointed, detached 2 bedroom property within the grounds of Beckford Cottage, situated in the beautiful Yarty Valley, 4 miles from Axminster (train station and bus stops). We take bookings from Saturday to Saturday. The nearest village is Stockland, 2 miles away and the Lodge is almost equidistant between Stockland, Dalwood, Kilmington and Membury. There are good local pubs and many lovely walks. If you want to get away from it all, Beckford Lodge is the place for you. There is much wildlife in the extensive gardens and along the half mile stretch of private riverside. We are close to Lyme Regis, Branscombe, Beer, Sidmouth and Honiton. There is a fantastic and extremely well stocked farm shop open 7 days a week only 2 miles away and we are just 7 miles from the sea. Centrally heated, washing machine, cot available if required. Well behaved dogs welcome by arrangement. No smoking.

Lovely lodge in peaceful surroundings

The lodge is nicely furnished, very comfy and clean. My husband and I and our dog especially loved the large garden surrouding the Beckford lodge and Beckford cottage. We highly recommend it for 2 adults (and perhaps 2 small children), the livingroom / kitchen area is perfect for 2, but could be a bit cramped for 4. Millers Farmshop is a great store just down the road with eveything you may want as a foodie. Loved their bread! They also allow you to bring your dog on a lead into the store, which is great. Branscombe Beach and Beer were our favorite beaches in the area.

Absolutely perfect for our energetic children who like to explore

We had a fabulous few days staying at the lodge. It was perfect for our needs with an excellent kitchen. The hosts, Isobel and William were incredible and very accommodating of our children who wanted to run around a lot in the gardens and in the river too as well as any anything we needed during our stay too. The lodge was clean, tidy, comfortable and ideal for our little family. Great location, close to amenities and beaches but able to come away and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Will look forward to booking here again. Thank you Isobel and William!

Off the beaten track

Overall the property is as listed. The downstairs area was smaller than we anticipated. Upstairs was nice with well equipped bedrooms with great views. The garden areas are spectacular. It is noteworthy that the roads to the property are single track with close banked hedges. Owners were welcoming along with their 2 Labradors. Overall we enjoyed our stay even if at times the weather was against us.

Peacful Cosy Lodge

This lodge was wonderful and the gardens and grounds of appox 9 acres was fantasticl for our dog Dollie to romp around with the owners dogs (labs), so well laid back, as our dog can be jealous, being the only child, but she made friends of the lead and no issues. there is a river that they can play in. You do have your own small grass garden gated for dogs that can not mix. The Lodge I have to say is small and the T.V. tiny, but you do not go on hoilday to watch telly all the time. The kitchen had everything you needed and more, with a lovely stable door. The bathroom had a great power shower. The Bedrooms were lovely, but you can bump your head on the V shape ceiling, luckly I am under 5' so did not have any issues. The bed was really comfortable as well. This cottage was great for two of us and a big dog. The Lane is appox 2 miles to reach the cottage and very narrow in places, but once you reach this lodge it is great. You do not hear any road noise either. You will need a car to get around, walking on the lanes can be difficult with a dog. The owners were just great and helpful, also Ruskin and Gracey the labs. The surrouding places are Kilmtington and Axminster and Charmouth for fossiles. The small negatives do not outway the whole positives on this cottage, and we will be happy to book again. Thank you Izzy and William for a wonderful stay and we hope to come again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Isabel Entwisle

Beckford Lodge is run by husband and wife team Isabel and William who live at Beckford Cottage. They have been in the West Country for many years and would be very happy to help with local regional knowledge.

Why they chose this property

The Yarty Valley is just a delightful, peaceful, get away from it all place. This is a stunning part of old England, far enough away from the big lights, yet also within easy driving of Exeter, Taunton and many smaller towns.

What makes this property unique

You can enjoy our extensive riverside garden. We have a wonderful farm shop as our closest shop, selling a wide selection of French wines and cheeses as well as local goodies.
Just a short drive to many seaside villages such as Lyme Regis, Beer, Charmouth, Seaton etc
