Rafters at March End Lodges Reviews

Nicola K - Apr 2025
This was our second time staying here and it didnt 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 lifestyle.
Luan - Apr 2025
Absolutely lovely stay, ideal quiet location. Accommodation was of a very high standard. Just what we needed.
Russell - Jan 2025
We had a very good time the property was in excellent condition and the bed was so comfortable also where it is positioned is very quiet to be honest cant really fault it the bathroom was probably the best we have seen for a long time only problem was the internet seems to come and go a bit but wasnt a problem also its easy to get anywhere else the local pub as excellent food we had a Sunday roast which was really nice so overall we was very pleased thanks to everyone who helped with the booking.
Nina - Jan 2025
This is our second time staying and it was just as amazing as we remember it being 2 years ago. A perfect get away with our Labrador and so relaxing for us too. The hot tub is incredible with the views, location theres some lovely local pubs and if you google theres some beautiful beach walks. We came in January so it was a bit cold but the under floor heating is a dream. All in all just amazing and we cant wait to come back BUT book in advance they fill up quickly!
Dawn - Jan 2025
We had a lovely relaxing break between Christmas and New Year. Lodge was spotlessly clean and had everything you needed. Been to a few Lodges with hot tubs and had a welcome pack on arrival including milk, bread, eggs, marmalade, and orange juice. Only had milk and a bottle of Prosecco which was nice thank you. Only other criticism I'd say was the 2 seater settee was too small. A recliner or slightly bigger settee would have been more comfortable at night whilst snuggling down on the evening watching the TV. Overall great stay, great location, great views and pubs and beaches on your doorstep. Would definitely return again.
Jean - Nov 2024
A lovely, comfortable and very well equipped holiday home with the added bonus of a hot tub and lovely countryside views. The huge bed was extremely comfortable. A fully enclosed garden makes it very safe for dogs. There are two dog friendly pubs within walking distance and Croyde with more facilities and amenities is a 5 minute car ride away. All in all, a really pleasant stay.
Andrea - Oct 2024
The most beautiful lodge in a stunning location. Every detail of the lodge has been well thought out, including treats for the dogs, Prosecco in the fridge and gowns for the hot tub. The enclosed garden is perfect for dogs. There is nothing more I could have asked for. Would highly recommend but then again everybody will want to go.
Nicola - Sep 2024
We have recently returned from our 3rd time at March End Lodges (Thistledown)- that should be testament to how much we enjoy and rate these lodges. From the Bath Sheets and robes to the kitchen utensils - everything is high spec. Then you have the lodge itself which is beautiful with the enclosed large garden and hot tub. Everything has been thought of - there is so much you can do on days out with the beaches etc but to be honest we go to get away from it all and mostly stay in with the calming views.
Fiona - Aug 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the hot tub was great! The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed. The Rock Inn pub 5 mins walk served lovely food. It was peaceful and perfect.
Guest - Jul 2024
Lovely setting, very peaceful and quiet and very responsive hosts. Lodge is lovely, good space, big bathroom. Also, although the lodges are dog friendly we didn't notice any dog smell which is always a good sign. Phone connection is not great but wifi is good, so we ended up doing mostly WhatsApp calls where required. It does get hot inside the lodges when the sun shines, there is a very small fan provided but if coming in summer we would suggest bringing your own as you'll need a powerful one if you get a nice sunny day.
Helen - Jul 2024
We could not fault our stay at Thistledown Lodge, March End. A lovely quiet location, immaculately clean and well equipped, with a thoughtful welcome bottle of Prosecco and treats for the dog! The bed was super comfy and we enjoyed using the hot tub and outside space. Which was secure for our dog so she could enjoy the garden too!
Roy - Jul 2024
Didnt start well as the postcode did not match the true location as the address was a mix of March Lodges and Braunton. So we were not in the best frame of mind. The lodge is great and as described in every way. Put it even nearer the coast and youve got 6 stars!
Karen - Jun 2024
We enjoyed our wonderful stay in a lovely location from the moment we arrived. Clean and great hot tub.
Joanne - Jun 2024
Cant fault anything! It was clean, comfortable, high quality and bonus of excellent location! One tip dont follow sat nav in drive via Croyde road, far less stressful if not used to country lanes.
Claire - Apr 2024
The Thistledown lodge is a lovely place to have a quiet break away from hustle and bustle. It is clean and comfortable and had a secluded hot tub on the decking at the back. You can walk to the village of Georgeham where there are two pubs if you want to eat out, although there are no pavements so you need to watch out for cars.
Kirsty - Mar 2024
The Lodge was lovely, modern, warm (we went in February) and clean. It was great to get in the hot tub! The garden area was perfect for our 2 dogs.
Daniel - Jan 2024
We couldn't thank the owners enough for such a spectacular stay. The lodge was spotless with everything we needed to make our Christmas 2023 special.
Sarah - Nov 2023
Had a fantastic time at Thistledown from the moment we arrived till we left. The lodge was clean and had everything you needed for your stay.
Pearce - Nov 2023
From start to finish it was perfect, everything we wanted and more, I took my girlfriend away for her birthday and shes never had such an amazing weekend.
Zoe - Oct 2023
Loved every minute of our stay in this lodge. The location is ideal to get to Putsborough, Croyde, Staunton and Woolacombe amongst others.
