Short Break

Lovely clean, tidy and comfortable stay. Quiet remote but Lovely location. Added extra is the hot tub but can be drafty on a windy day as not shelter from the wind. Beaches within short drive and best chip shop ever in Braunton.

Great place to stop and relax.

A great place to stop, relax and unwind. So quite and peaceful. Should there be a shower the hot tub is undercover as is the access to it. Lovely beaches close by with Ilfracombe and Barnstable less than 30 minutes away

Lovely stay in Devon

We had a great stay at March End Lodges! We brought our Weimaraner for his first holiday and it was perfect for him! The enclosed garden had plenty of space and was clean and safe which was great! The lodge itself had everything you could need for all types of cooking. We didn’t actually do any cooking and instead visited the local pubs in Georgeham and takeaways in Braunton. The local pubs were incredible and dog friendly too! In the daytime we did plenty of walking around the dog friendly beaches and sand dunes - all within a short car journey. We’d come again in a heartbeat - perhaps in a cooler month as it was too hot to fully explore the local area!

Lovely place to stay

We stayed at Thistledown, one of March End Farm's 3 lodges in Georgeham for 4 nights in August 2026. This was our second visit. The lodge is lovely and very well equipped. The bed is very comfortable and with a lovely view out to the garden and the fields beyond. The bathroom is big and has a big free standing bath, a large shower and his and hers sinks. The garden is completely secure and safe for dogs. There is a decking outside with a settee and coffee table and also a hot tub. There are two pubs within walking distance and both are dog friendly. More pubs can be found in Croyde a short car ride away. We had family staying at Saunton Sands which is a great beach for dogs and children. There is also a Beachside Grill there serving food and drinks all day and in the evening. We would definitely recommend March End Lodges for a very comfortable stay.

Beautifully peaceful in a great location

Thistledown offered superb privacy in a quiet location offering two friendly pubs within walking distance. We visited in mid May and benefited from slightly fewer tourists on the roads and at the beach. Putsborough beach can easily be reached by walking if you are moderately fit. The WiFi is ‘variable’ so don’t rely on it being available but it was nice to be able to disconnect from the world. I would happily re-book.

Perfect and peaceful

Thistledown lodge was extremely clean, peaceful and beautiful. The large enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and felt completely private and not over looked. The hot tub was perfect to relax in of an evening and look out over the fields. Would highly recommend as a place to relax and de-stress. The information supplied before visit was extremely helpful and allowed us to plan exactly what we wanted to do. Will 100% be recommending to others and look forward to booking again.

If You Want a Peaceful Break - Look Here!

An absolute gem of a find! Peaceful location and lodge has everything equipped for your needs! The garden is great for the dog to run around and the hot tub is excellent to relax in. Location is great with two pubs within walking distance and if you wish to expand the walk we walked to Woolacombe and back along the beach! Perfect little break and will definitely be back.

Beautiful stay

This was our second time staying here and it didn’t disappoint, we had the most relaxing stay. The location is just beautiful we loved looking out and seeing the baby lambs and bunny rabbits in the morning. Very clean, presented beautifully and love the little touches with the bottle of Prosecco and milk in the fridge. Will definitely be staying again, great customer service from owners. We love it here, the most relaxing stay to switch off and relax from a busy life style.
