Exmoor Gate Lodges

"We had a great time at Exmoor Gate Lodges. I can't imagine anywhere having better comms with guests, or being run more efficiently. We made use of the games room with pool table and air hockey, and the kids enjoyed the swimming pool, which we hired out for 2 hours one evening. Booking these lodges meant we enjoyed use of a private hot tub, which turned out to be worth quite a few brownie points with the family! Getting in there first thing in the morning with a coffee and watching the butterflies scoot around for their breakfast was idyllic. So many species of bird too. Creation really does show how awesome our God is; our creator and saviour. There were lots of walks suggested and the Lodges made the perfect base for exploring the whole area. You must go to Tarr Farm, which does the best cream teas, and cross the Tarr Steps over the river there. We spent 2 afternoons at Wimbleball Lake with the kayaks and paddleboards. Next time we might get an eFly lesson. Finally, if you fancy an Indian takeaway, Wiveliscombe (5 min away by car), makes some of the best Indian food I've had in a long time. My tip is the Lamb Saag... gorgeous. I hope you have a great yine like we did."

"Lovely stay. Lodge clean and tidy. Hot tub controls and use explained on arrival. Loved the fact that it was a tranquil park lovely bit of peace and quiet"

"We had a lovely stay! The lodge was spotless and well-maintained. Hot tub instructions were clear, which was handy. The peaceful setting really made our trip special, loved every minute."

"great holiday"

"Our Exmoor Gate Lodges review: We had a lovely holiday surrounded by such beautiful scenery. The only snag was we couldnt leave the dogs alone, so no dinner out for us. Still, the 10 days flew by and it was a really great experience!"

"great holiday and very nice surroundings the only downside for us we couldn't leave the dogs alone so no meals out at night, otherwise realyy nice experience the 10 days went way too quick"

"Sofas looking a little tired"

"We had the best weekend at Exmoor gates. The lodge was fab and the hot tub was great, it overlooked onto woodland, very peaceful and beautiful. We will be back"

"The place was really clean and welcoming, which we appreciated. We didnt mind paying a bit extra for electricity, even though we didnt use much. A family might feel differently though."

"Overall, we found the place quite pleasant. The staff were genuinely helpful and the lodge was lovely, especially the location and the hot tub. However, after a four-hour drive and paying a fair price, being charged extra for electricity felt a bit unfair-£10-£15 max, surely? Still, worth a visit!"

"We absolutely adored the cottage and its serene setting. Its so romantic!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was charming and well-equipped."

"Great place, will return again"

"Overall, we thought it was quite a good stay. The place was spotless when we arrived and everything worked well during our time there. We did find it a bit pricey for just two people, but since its a lodge meant for five, it makes sense. The bathroom heater was out at first, but they sorted it quickly - good service! Wed stay again."

"We were really lucky with the weather and loved the peaceful setting. Sadly, we didnt get round to using the pool or other extras because time flew by so fast!"

"Great experience, highly recommend!"

"We had a fantastic time! The hot tub was a real treat and the games room kept us entertained for hours. The peaceful surroundings made it even better."

"We stayed in the sleep 9 lodge and really enjoyed it. The space is fantastic, perfect for our group. The hot tub was a lovely bonus after long walks. Speaking of walks, the surrounding area is stunning, with some great local pubs that welcome dogs, which was a big plus for us. Only thing to note is that theres no grass near the bigger lodge, so youll need to walk downhill a bit for your dogs. Also, dont forget to bring £1 coins for the electricity meter - we missed that! Overall, a great stay!"

"We had a lovely stay! The place was really clean and surprisingly spacious. The owners were super friendly and made us feel welcome. The location is perfect if you're into walking - it's central to some stunning trails. The nearest town is a bit hilly, about 3 miles on foot, but only 1.5 miles by car. Our energetic lab, Bear, loved the walks and all the fuss he got at the Bear Inn. Well definitely be back!"

"The staff were super helpful! We had a problem with the hob and it was replaced the very next day. Really impressed by the quick response."

"Absolutely amazing stay.The whole place is beautiful and the staff members are super friendly."

"Great place. Everything you could want within the lodge. Owners/staff very friendly and helpful."

"Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Dog friendly, with a fantastic private hot tub in the courtyard. Would highly recommend."

"We had a lovely weekend at exmoor Lodge, it was for my husbands birthday, and we could not of been made to feel more welcome. Would def recommend a visit."

"Lovely lodge with great hotbtub in a good location. Well looked after by our hosts. Will definitely be returning."

"We had a wonderful mid week break at the lodges. Exceptionaly clean and the hot tub was great.
The local pub The Rock served some of the best food we have ever had.
If you want to find a place to syat in Mirror water, this is it. 100/100.

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely lodge and outside area. We were offered a complimentary swim due to bad weather being forecast. Looking forward to visiting again."

"Great location and owners. Peaceful, relaxing, can't wait to go back"

"Beautiful lodge in lovely location. The accommodation is of a high standard and the owners have thought of every detail. Perfect place for a quiet, relaxing break away."

"Lovely place to stay accommodation was clean very well kitted out with necessities to make for a comfortable stay. Host were amazing nothing was too much trouble. A larger area for kids to run around somewhere within the site would have been an added bonus. Scenery was lovely felt in the heart of the countryside. Hot tub area was private and not overlooked used the games room multiple times kids loved it and all very good value for money. Private pool was well worth a visit clean warm and plenty of toys for kids. would love to return for another stay."

"A lovely relaxing break away from it all"

"Lovely setting, the lodge was clean and everything you could need was there .
It’s peaceful and full of wonderful wildlife all around.
A bit too hilly for walking for me and roads around don’t have paths always.
The villages near are really friendly and most shops and pubs are dog friendly."

"A great holiday, Staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was great and very central to various attractions. Surrounded by woodland and wildlife, it was very quiet and peaceful.
Had a great stay and will definitely return again."
