About this property

Thistledown - a lodge that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

Situated on a farm in the beautiful village of Georgeham near Braunton in North Devon, March End lodges offer luxurious accommodation in a wonderful countryside setting.

A beautifully laid out interior is complimented by floor to ceiling windows that invite the pretty countryside views in giving the space a wonderfully calming atmosphere.

The master bedroom is furnished with a king size bed providing a relaxing retreat, with a spacious modern en-suite bathroom featuring a large bath and walk-in shower.

Central to the living space is a well-equipped open-plan kitchen ideal for whipping up a fabulous meal in; and with so much excellent local produce available in the area you may be tempted to create a few locally inspired dishes.
Outside you'll discover a decked patio where a bubbling hot tub awaits. Positioned under the eaves it makes for the perfect place to laze the hours away whilst taking in the beauty of the landscape beyond.

Thistledown Lodge is pet-friendly so the four-legged members of the family get to enjoy a wonderful break too. Featuring an enclosed garden at the back of the home and just a short drive from some of the best local dog-walking beaches in Devon, this really is the idea pet-friendly home and one we're sure you'll want to return to!

2 pets allowed, a fixed fee of £25 per dog for a short stay of 2-4 night stays and £40 per dog for a 7+ night stay is chargeable, in line with our house rules we do ask that pets are not left alone in the property, do not use the furniture or go in the bedroom areas.

If You Want a Peaceful Break - Look Here!

An absolute gem of a find! Peaceful location and lodge has everything equipped for your needs! The garden is great for the dog to run around and the hot tub is excellent to relax in. Location is great with two pubs within walking distance and if you wish to expand the walk we walked to Woolacombe and back along the beach! Perfect little break and will definitely be back.

Beautiful stay

This was our second time staying here and it didn’t 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 life style.

Very Well Equipped Lodge in a Lovely Area

Very well equipped Lodge in a lovely area with a wonderful hot tub. The only downside (if you are bringing a dog/dogs), is that there is a campsite in the field directly behind the Lodge and whilst this is a family campsite and no trouble at all, our dogs could hear the sounds coming from the campsite, but because they couldn't work our where the sounds were coming from, they were on alert and couldn't settle for the first few days, so relaxing in the garden and hot tub was not always possible. As the week went on this became much better and we got to relax more in the garden and hot tub, after a day out at the beach/exploring. This was just a small issue and everything else was wonderful and we would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Dog friendly holiday cottage

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.

We were blown away with the lodge. Everything was high end and the hosts had thought of everything. Hot tub was very private and overlooking the fields where the sun goes down. Had great weather for January and would definitely recommend. We hope to return.

Had a fantastic time at thistledown from the moment we arrived til we left. The lodge was clean and had everything you needed for your stay we enjoyed the hot tub and our dog loved the freedom of the fenced garden . The location was fantastic too as we used the two local pubs less than a ten minute walk to both and also walked to puttsborough beach wich was only a 45 minute walk . We had a fantastic time and definitely will return some day Thanks

Short Stay

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. The location was great, short drive to Woolacombe and the two local pubs served great food and catered for me who is coeliac. We had a small issue with the shower, but this was being resolved on the Monday. Definitely stay again, perfect for 2 people and their dogs

Perfection

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 out Labrador and so relaxing for us too. The hot tub is incredible with the views, location there’s some lovely local pubs and if you google there’s some beautiful beach walks. We came in January so it was abit cold but the under floor heating is a dream. All in all just amazing and we can’t wait to come back BUT book in advance… they fill up quickly!
