Bulworthy Forest Lodges

"Really enjoyed it, the hot tub was perfect after walking all day."

"Honestly, we won't be coming back here. It feels like theyve lost all care - all about the money now. No hot water for over a week was a nightmare and the washing machine was on the brink of breaking. The hot tub was leaking too, which meant filling it up every day. Not what youd expect for a family Christmas break! To make things worse, my partner couldnt have a proper bath because the plug was broken and shes got skin issues that really need ointments. Its such a shame because it used to be a lovely place."

"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It had all the essentials, so we only needed to bring ourselves. The beds were super comfy with nice cotton sheets and duvets. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the heating and lights were already on when we arrived on that chilly November evening. Definitely a lovely little getaway!"

"Nice spot, well be back for sure"

"Our Bulworthy Forest Lodges review: Really enjoyed it, the whole family had a great time!"

"Really loved our time at Bulworthy Lodges, such a calming spot to unwind in comfort."

"Really pleased with it, everything was just as we hoped, cosy and spotless too."

"Very cosy and charming"

"We recently stayed at a lovely little lodge just outside Bideford and honestly, it was just what we needed for a peaceful getaway. The location is perfect-only about 4 and a half miles from the town, so its easy to get to but still feels tucked away. The beds were super comfy and we had the best sleep we've had in ages. One of our favourite parts was sitting on the wooden porch in the evenings, listening to the birds sing-especially the robin that visited us daily. The woodland walk nearby was really enjoyable and if youre into hot tubs, youll love theirs! We also appreciated the helpful information folder in the lodge, with tips on local attractions and the best routes out of the area-handy for navigating those narrow country roads. Speaking of directions, we found it easiest to input Horwood into the sat nav; coming from Eastleigh, turn right into the lane after the village, or from Lovecott, turn left. Just past the bend, theres a signposted left that takes you directly to the lodges or use what three words if thats easier. Liz really made us feel welcome-she was so friendly and went out of her way to connect us with a local boxing club since our son trains, as well as suggesting good running routes. Wed definitely recommend and wouldnt hesitate to come back if we visit the area again!"

"We had a lovely stay at The away with our dog, Max. The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The fishing was fantastic, especially catching a 13-pound carp - made the trip even more memorable! Its a perfect spot to explore the local area, with nice trips to Clovelly, Westward Ho!, Appledore and Bideford. The staff were really friendly and helpful, which made us feel welcome. We've been several times now and plan to go back in September. Its such a peaceful, tranquil place - we just love it. Cant wait to return!"

"Absolutely loved our stay here, its such a peaceful spot with plenty of space."

"Really enjoyed the stay"

"Comfortable place, perfect for unwinding."

"Very welcoming and tidy place"

"The walk up to the lodges is a challenge if you're not quite fit, but the place itself is lovely and the hostess is lovely too."

"We arrived just after the paint job, so Liz kindly moved us to the lodge next door. Still, the away was warm, inviting and really charming overall. Nice touch!"

"Really enjoyed it, perfect if you want some peace and quiet. Definitely planning to visit again soon!"

"Great all year round, we really enjoyed it, honestly!"

"Really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was lovely, though not my absolute favourite. The uphill walk was a bit of a challenge but worth it."

"Really enjoyed the experience"

"Great spot with a peaceful vibe, yet handy for shopping needs."

"Spacious lodge with plenty of room, though some areas are starting to show wear. Still practical and comfortable enough."

"We recently stayed at the Kingfisher Lodge for the second time and honestly, it's such a lovely place. The cabin is spacious and perfect for families. Its tucked away in the woods, which makes it really peaceful. Well definitely be coming back again, no doubt about it!"

"We absolutely loved the peaceful vibe here, with the lovely rhododendrons and the calming sounds of birds and lambs. The walks around the forest and lakes are perfect for unwinding and the hot tub? Just what we needed. Our stay in Bluebell was really comfortable and had everything we could ask for. Even though it's nearby, it felt like a proper escape. Definitely returning!"

"Really enjoyed the peaceful vibe"

"Looking forward to visiting again"

"Really enjoyed our stay at Rosebay, it turned out to be more lovely than we thought. Perfect for a peaceful getaway. Weve already booked again for September!"

"We stayed three nights in the away. Its pretty simple, but super comfy with a lovely lakeside view."

"We had a really lovely stay at the lodge. Its super spacious and kept in great condition, which made it feel very homely. Everything we needed was there, making it perfect for a long weekend away. The evenings were especially cosy and the gated verandah was a big plus for the dogs - they had plenty of space to roam safely. The hot tub was a highlight, even if it wasnt working perfectly, we appreciated the quick update from maintenance first thing. Overall, a really enjoyable trip!"

"We had a fabulous time and would totally go again. The area is so so relaxing and peaceful and is close to beaches and shops (including a Tesco and Morrison's) which are around 15 minutes away by car. The only downside was my partner and his son were a little disappointed by the Carp fishing (although they spoke to the owner and she is aware the lakes need restocking)."

"Bulworthy Forest is a beautiful peaceful setting, you truly are in the middle of a forest. We loved waking and hearing only birds & sheep and looking out at the beautiful surroundings. It is worth pointing out that the last approximately 2 miles to Bulworthy Forest is via very narrow lanes with high hedges or trees either side and probably not enough passing places. Also the site is quite steep so if you are above the lakes it is quite steep to walk. However we though this a price worth paying for the lovely accommodation and surroundings and would definitely book again."

"Fantastic just lacked a freezer. Great walks and friendly staff. Lots to do around and about. Good places to eat. Our dog really enjoyed the beaches near by"

"The cabin itself was clean. Surroundings were extremely peaceful. We will definitely go again. Signal was pretty bad, so WiFi was quite sporadic, which seemed to worsen more each day. People were friendly and staff were welcoming. Would have been nice to have a welcome basket, with some basic essentials such as, milk, bread, butter and some cereals. So that you don't have to rush out and buy such things when you get there."

"Beautiful lodge. Lovely to come back to after a busy day sightseeing. Peaceful and serene. Highly recommended and will definitely be back!"

"Had a fabulous 4 nights in Larches for 4 adults and 2 dogs. The lodge was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. We made good use of the hot tub and bbq. Lovely to sit on the enclosed porch with the dogs while they were on squirrel watch. Lovely peaceful location with some nice forest walks. If you need Internet access, Larches has really good connection. The owner is lovely; very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area; gave us some good tips on dog-friendly places to visit. Can't rate this place highly enough...bliss!"

"Bloody great location"

"The property was clean and had everything we needed. My husband enjoyed the fishing and it is certainly an away from it all break. The only slight negative is that the lodge is in a shaded spot with undergrowth up to the windows at the rear of the property."
