“A perfect bolt hole if you want to get away from it all.”
Beautiful peaceful setting. The Lodge is so well appointed and very cosy and very tastefully furnished. The welcome by the hosts was second to none.

Ann “Relaxing and restful place, the silence is wonderful as the only sounds are from the wildlife.”
If you are lucky you will see deer in the garden and pheasants are always present. Cosy and comfortable lodge in a remote location with far-reaching country views.

Sue “A beautiful property in a gorgeous location.”
Mark the host was great, after learning we were delayed due to problems on the route down due to flooding, he had switched on lights and heating and was waiting for us to help us unload and move in. The property is a wonderful place to chill and relax, which we did with everything to hand. The pheasants visited daily, and whilst we had rain every day we left relaxed and recharged.
- Sue, November 2023Thank you so much for the lovely comments Sue really pleased you enjoyed your stay Mark and Julia Property Owner

Robert “Meadow Lodge was a rare find in a tranquil location offering compleat peace quiet and relaxation.”
It was beautifully appionted and very tastefully decorated. Lovely soft towels and bath robes. There was lots of wildlife and wild birds in the extensive grounds. The location is perfect with plenty of country walks and lovely places to visit within a fifteen minute drive. Dartmouth and Kingsbride were particulalrly beatiful, to name just two. The welcome pack with bubbly, bread, milk, jams, tea coffee, lots of goodies, was a very welcome start to our stay. Julia and Mark were delightful and had lots of local knowledge about the local area and eating out. Look forward to returning soon. We would definately reccomend staying here. Anne & Bob

Saw a deer, pheasants, squirrels, swifts, robins and many others! It is a bit of a walk from the car to the lodge for the older/infirm folk, but Mark and Julia could not have been more helpful. Super holiday and our many thanks to them both. Geoff and Pam Pearce.

Keith “Short break perfection.”
3 days spent at this lovely lodge. On arrival, we were met by the host who showed us around. Total seclusion in luxury. The exterior is a haven for wildlife and fauna, with a large area for outdoor relaxing (weather permitting). Inside was tasteful luxury with everything you could desire for a short break. Especially nice were all of the added extras (fresh flowers, bread, honey and jam, a bottle of fizz, tea, coffee, milk, cereal…..). A definite must stay for couples in this part of the country

The lodge is tastefully decorated and furnished with all the necessary facilities and equipment that you need. It was the thoughtful touches like the welcome wine, flowers, eggs and milk in the fridge and Mark dropping off the sunday paper and hot pain au chocolat on the sunday that made the difference. Also Mark was very helpful in resolving any queries and suggesting places to visit or get a meal. Highly recommended for a beautiful location and comfortable lodge.

Lynne “My Wife and I have just enjoyed the most wonderful of times in this beautiful lodge.”
What an absolute piece of luck we had to find this sunning location in South Devon. Relax and unwind in what is the most tranquil piece of countryside you could ever wish for. Greeted every part of the day by Mother Nature and all her friends. From Deer to Pheasant it was such a delight to enjoy their company. Our stay was just so fabulous, the weather, the places we visited each day and then to come back each evening to complete solitude. Our Hosts were just the very best, absolutely wonderful people who care so very much that you enjoy your holiday. Would we come again? YOU BET!!!
- Lynne, April 2022We are blushing! Thank you so much for that review. We were delighted to have you - and very much look forward to seeing you again before too long. Kind regards, Mark and Julia. Property Owner

The Lodge was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We sat on the sunny verandah watching the birds and listening to the beautiful birdsong.

The decoration of the lodge was very tasteful, the colours blended in with the surrounding country side, they had made the most of the stunning views with the layout..

“'Just to say how much we enjoyed our relaxing Christmas break at Meadow Lodge with its tranquillity, beautiful views and observable wildlife.”
And vitally just as advertised the accommodation was of an impressively high standard. Mark and Julia were very considerate hosts as they also laid on some extra seasonal touches such as a twinkling Christmas tree and decorative Christmas lights above the porch. We also appreciated the delightful welcome pack of goodies. Despite the less than perfect weather we had plenty of entertainment with loads of interesting books, games and bulging shelves of DVDs to watch on a giant TV. Also there was great internet access and a more than sufficient mobile signal. What's more Meadow Lodge is conveniently situated with the towns of Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, Totnes and the stunning Devon coast all within easy reach.'

Francescca “We had a lovely stay at Meadow Lodge over new year.”
Julia and Mark were very attentive hosts, providing us with lots of info on the local area (restaurants, things to do etc), settling us into the property when we arrived late after a very long drive and were always on standby if we had questions. Meadow Lodge is a very comfortable cottage with absolutely everything you need for a wonderful tracking stay. Waking up to the sounds of nature, watching deer roam past the windows as you enjoy your coffee was all magical. Would highly recommend for anyone really looking to escape.
- Francescca, December 2021Thank you for the lovely feedback and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. If you were to come back outside winter, there should be a few more facilities for you to enjoy! Kind regards, Mark and Julia Property Owner

Yusuf “This place is so magical, tranquil and perfectly equipped for a getaway from all the madness in our daily lives.”
The owners are genuinely interested in making sure your stay is as comfortable as they can make it. The surrounding area is so beautiful for romantic walks, also wonderful places to eat and drink, really short drives to towns like Totnes and Dartmouth and is dotted in between picturesque villages. I can’t believe that anyone could or would be disappointed with this delightful gem.
- Yusuf, November 2021Dear Yusuf and Lesley, thank you so much for your very kind review. So glad you enjoyed all the Lodge had to offer. You were delightful guests and we very much look forward to seeing you again sometime soon. Kind regards, Mark and Julia Property Owner

“Everything we needed for a relaxing & restful holiday was provided in abundance.”
When we arrived, we were overwhelmed by the tranquility - the owls, the birds, the trees and the abundance of wildlife added to our escape. We had magical sunrises and enjoyed the fresh air and the peaceful garden. This retreat has been so carefully thought through, from the detailed decor to the welcoming food basket. All the recommendations for places to eat and walk and villages to see, all had a wow factor to them. We felt truly welcomed by Mark and Julia and we have no doubt their venture will be a great success!

Elizabeth “Meadow Lodge was a fabulous place to stay - so wonderfully peaceful.”
The location was great with so many places to visit within close proximity. A beautiful part of Devon. Mark and Julia are great hosts and made you feel very welcome. They had some great tips for places to visit and restaurants to eat at (The Cott Inn was fabulous). It was also much appreciated that there were essentials like bread, eggs, milk, honey and wine when we arrived! Would highly recommend Meadow Lodge and would definitely return again.
- Elizabeth, October 2021Elizabeth, thank you for your kind review and we were delighted you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you again sometime. Kind regards, Mark and Julia Property Owner

Alan “Mark and Julia were great hosts and really wanted us to have a relaxing break.”
Accommodation is super and there a welcome pack of tea ,coffee, milk,honey,jam and much much more. A bottle of champagne was also a lovely surprise. Recommendations for restaurants and visits were spot with the Cott Inn at Dartington a particular favourite. All the main sightseeing spots are only a short drive away so it’s location is ideal but better not to use sat nav to get to them as it takes you down narrow lanes and main road alternatives are available and are much easier. A great find and hope to return.
- Alan, October 2021Alan, Many thanks for your review and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay so much. We look forward to seeing you again some time. Kind regards, Mark and Julia Property Owner
