"The lodge was absolutely stunning, honestly looked even better in person than in the photos! The peaceful setting was perfect for a relaxing weekend. Only slight issue was the mattress on the double bed, could be comfier. Well definitely come back soon!"

"We stayed here in September for a week and overall, its a decent spot. The place is tucked away in a peaceful area about two miles from Bude, which we liked. The lodge itself is generally in good nick, but we did spot some wear and tear - like a chipped bath panel and a rusty patch on the dishwasher door - nothing too major though. Access involves climbing up 18 steps, some of which are gravel, others wooden or concrete. Didnt bother us, but older folks might find it tricky, so it could be worth mentioning in the details. The place is well-equipped and has pretty much everything youd need for a self-catering break. All in all, a solid choice if youre after a quiet getaway with the basics covered."

"Our Ivyleaf Combe Lodges review: We recently stayed here and honestly, it felt just like being at home. The place was spotless and beautifully presented, which instantly made us feel comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, from utensils to basic supplies, so cooking was a breeze. The bed was super comfy and the pillows actually helped us get a good nights sleep - rare on trips! Even though we only mentioned our little one in passing, there were toys for bath time and a bed ready for him, which was a lovely touch. The hot tub was a real highlight and our son loved chatting with the chickens and searching for them when we went out. Its so peaceful here and the staff made it easy to reach out if we needed anything. Wed definitely come back soon!"

"We recently spent a fantastic week at Ivyleaf Combe and honestly, we booked again before even leaving! The Woodpecker lodge was just perfect-super cosy and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. Having our two little ones with us, they loved the chickens and the on-site park; it kept them entertained for ages. We really appreciated the peaceful surroundings and the hot tub was a lovely treat after busy days. When the weather took a turn for the worse, the DVD collection at reception was a lifesaver - kept the kids happy. Sparkles the cat was such a charming addition, she made herself right at home and even snuggled into bed with us. Cant wait to come back next year!"

"We had a lovely stay at Ivy Coombes Woodpecker Lodge. The setting is so peaceful and away from the hustle, perfect for a relaxing break. The private hot tub was a real treat, especially at night when the stars come out so clearly. The owners are genuinely friendly and quick to help if anything comes up - like when the TV had a glitch. The lodge felt really cosy, with thoughtful touches like the diffuser and throws. Great spot near the coast too!"

James - Feb 2024
"We had a fantastic time! The kids especially loved the hot tub and the adventure playground. The lodges were comfortable, well-equipped and nicely maintained, making our stay really relaxing. The location is convenient, not far from Budes centre. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, making check-in and out a breeze. No worries about COVID-19 either. Overall, a really great holiday spot wed definitely return to!"

"Weve been here four times now and its always a lovely experience. This time, we stayed in Robin Lodge instead of Pheasant, which was just as peaceful. The scenery is stunning and the chickens and black cat add such charm. Jools and Russ are always friendly and helpful."

"Overall, we had a decent stay. The ensuite shower was a bit of a hassle because the head kept slipping and dripping all night. We had to hang it down just to get some sleep. Luckily, Russel sorted it out quickly and ordered the part to fix the leak. Just one of those little issues, really!"

"This place is a real gem. The surroundings are quite and calm. The facilities are top notch, very clean and comfortable. It’s location is excellent for day trips with loads to do! The one thing I really loved was the library which includes the potential to borrow buckets and spades, body boards and use the washing machines. All really helpful for a break away. Loved it. Will be back! P"

"Absolutely loved our time here, lodges have everything you need are set in a lovely peaceful and quiet location but are near enough to local amenities if you need them"
Karen - Jul 2022
"Cant fault it!
Park, location, owners and the lodge itself are amazing!
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. Our week flew by and ots close to Bude with its lovely beaches and amenities.
Easy to get to the park as it's just off the main A39 coming into Bude.
Tranquil and peaceful."
Rajesh - Jul 2022
"What a fabulous holiday we have had in Bude! We were extremely fortunate to have beautiful weather and to have discovered such incredible beaches here, but we were also fortunate enough to have found this gem of a place. The lodge itself was incredibly well equipped with everything you could possibly need, including a dvd and book library in the reception area. Beds were very comfortable and the hot tub perfect for an afternoon of relaxing after a day at the beach. The owners were extremely friendly and made the whole place feel like a home from home. We especially loved meeting the site chickens and resident cat! Thank you for an amazing week!"

Julie - Jun 2022
"Another brilliant holiday"
Diane - Jun 2022
"We absolutely loved our holiday here. The property was perfectly clean and the owners had thought of everything in terms of contents, even down to blankets. The location is perfect if you are happy to drive somewhere for walks but you can’t walk directly from the lodge. The owners really gave us a lot of privacy, however when we had some problems with the TV they did not respond. Would definitely visit again!!"
