Hatherleigh and Holsworthy are larger and have all the amenities you need. Our site is quiet and tranquil and wildlife is plentiful. In the early morning it is quite possible that you will see deer grazing and there are usually a lot of rabbits around and foxes pay the occasional visit. Birds thrive and we regularly see woodpeckers, tree creepers and buzzards even occasionally a kingfisher. Butterflies are also attracted by the many wild flowers that emerge in the spring. Bats feeding at dusk are a common sight and we enjoy black skies due to very little light pollution - great for stargazing.

We spent 4 days/night at this lovely lodge and really enjoyed our stay. The lodge is so cozy, nicely furnished and the kitchen is very well equipped. Lovely views over to Dartmoor, with horses right in front of your window.
Andrew and Sally are very friendly and helpful.
We will definetely come back!

The host Andrew met us and was lovely and welcoming. The lodge itself was just perfect, everywhere was spotless and it was so well equipped with high quality items. The beds were comfortable, the views to die for and I really cannot think of any negatives. We will definitely be back and I can recommend this lodge to anyone to stay in. Perfect

Delightful
A great place to stay for peace and quiet. Andrew & Sally so welcoming and helpful. Bluebells extremely well equipped and everything of high quality. The property was spotlessly clean inside and out. The bedding and towels again a very high quality and spotlessly clean. We loved sitting outside watching the Owners' horses graze in the adjacent field.
A delightful place to stay and we would highly recommend Bluebells to people of all ages.
We had a great holiday, started with Andrew showing us to the log cabin to give us a quick run down of the lodge and supporting documentation, which we found really useful. Andrew then left stating if we needed any help with anything do not hesitate to call. The lodge was the cleanest and best equipped that we have ever stayed in, everything has been thought of. Views are amazing and wildlife abounds from birds to rabbits don’t forget to look out for the bats at dusk. Centrally based so easy access to the north and the south coasts and all that offers. Thanks again to Andrew and Sally for the opportunity to stay at such a great location.
Wir können die Unterkunft absolut empfehlen, perfekt ausgestattet, gute Lage für jede Menge tolle Ausflüge in Devon und Cornwall. Die Ausstattung im Haus ist hervorragend, es fehlt einfach an nichts! Wir sind schon ernsthaft am Überlegen, ob wir kommendes Jahr wieder kommen werden!
Wat een prachtige omgeving! Heerlijk comfortabel huis, van alle gemakken voorzien. Het beste uitzicht ooit. Warm ontvangst door Andrew en Sally. De paarden waren er helaas niet, maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken. Er is in de omgeving genoeg te doen, ook voor kinderen. Als je van rust en natuur houdt is dit de perfecte omgeving. Ik hoop er ooit weer terug te komen.
Brilliant two-week holiday with very welcoming hosts and perfect accomodation. Great location for cycling as a family on various off-road cycle paths in the local area (Tarka Trail, Granite Way) which it turned out was a great alternative activity to the beach on many days, especially in very hot July weather. Recommend the cycling cafe on the Tarka Trail at East Yarde. Sandymouth Bay became a favourite beach. Thank you for a great stay.
Wir hatten zwei wundervolle Wochen in unserem liebevoll eingerichteten Brockhaus. Die grandiose Aussicht, die ruhige Lage und die frische Luft haben wir sehr genossen. Sally und Andrew sind sehr nett und waren jederzeit Ansprechpartner für unsere Fragen. Wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf eine Wiederholung ;)
Wonderful log cabin in a stunning setting - the perfect way to relax and unwind! Location was brilliant for exploring both Devon and Cornwall, with both moorland and coast within easy reach. Easy to find thanks to the great directions from the owners, who were also super helpful on arrival. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay - I'm sure we'll be back!
This is placed in great place for the views of Dartmoor enjoyed our stay weather was not great but managed to miss most of the rain.

Wunderbar
Wir haben in diesem Blockhaus 9 Nächte verbracht und uns wirklich sehr wohl gefühlt - es ist unglaublich gemütlich und sehr gut in Schuss. Der Ausblick ist herrlich, es ist ruhig und auch unseren Kindern hat es sehr gut gefallen. Es gibt ein paar Spielsachen, Tischtennisplatte usw., die Vermieter Sally und Andrew sind sehr sympathisch.
Die Lage ist gut - man hat es nicht weit ans Meer und auch im Dartmoor, das schon vom Haus aus zu sehen ist, ist man gleich. Die Landschaft dort ist fantastisch und wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Dieses Ferienhaus können wir wirklich empfehlen - vielen Dank an die Walkers!

Stunning views. Immaculate lodge.
Absolutely fantastic. Andrew and Sally were very friendly and were on hand if we needed anything, although nothing was needed as the lodge was equipped with all you would need. Lots of personal touches which made us feel at home.
The lodge was immaculate. The surroundings are stunning. We will most definitely be coming back.
Many thanks to Andrew and Sally.

Brilliant week, beautiful surroundings, great hosts
We have just spent a week at Bluebells lodge and what a wonderful time we had there with the kids. The view was amazing and the place nice and quiet (at least until the kids got going) It was exactly what we wanted and a perfect get away for the week.
Andrew and Sally (along with Pippa and Elsa) were also lovely and helped to make our stay a special time away with the family.
Highly recommended and definitely a place to go back to.
It was the first time we have been away without the children in 22 years so were looking forward to a relaxing time. The location is away from the main road so was very quiet in the evenings. The cabin overlooks Dartmoor and there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area.
The facilities in the cabin were excellent and Andrew (the owner) was very helpful.
Would definitely visit again.

The lodge was so perfect as was the location. Will be revisiting as soon as we can. A well kept secret. Thanks, the Clarkes

Relaxing stay within stunning Dartmoor
After a 5 hour car journey we were met by Andrew who welcomed us to our Brambles lodge which was home for the next 4 days. The lodge was immaculately clean, comfortable and cosy with the addition of the log burner. The outside seating area and the fact that there are only 3 lodges on the site allowed us to relax and take in the stunning views of Dartmoor from the privacy of our lodge.
The coast only being a 30 min drive made it a prefect location for a base camp to go exploring.
The hosts were very helpful - at the end of the phone at all times. We will most definitely be returning. Thanks to Andrew and family for ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.
If you're looking for a relaxing break would definitely recommend a stay here!
Thanks,
Charlie & Girls :-)

Great place to get away from it all
The lodges are set in a fantastic location and are clean, well maintained & comfortable. The combination of outside & covered seating with their views over Dartmoor make the perfect place for relaxing. Having only 3 lodges on the site is just right giving plenty of space for my 2 year old to explore, they even have a toy box on site making it perfect for families.
With easy drives to the beach and other local destinations and Andrew & Sally being very welcoming hosts. we will definitely keep this on our short list for future holidays.

Relaxing with views of Dartmoor
We booked two lodges for our family. We had not stayed in a lodge before and was pleasantly surprised by the space. Very roomy and comfortable. The stove would be lovely for a winter stay, I can imagine. The lodges have great views across the valley towards Dartmoor and are positioned in a quiet location free from traffic noise and light pollution. Owners are friendly and welcoming.

Relaxing getaway
After a long drive we were met with a warm welcome from Andrew who then took us to bluebell lodge. The lodge was very clean, warm and comfortable. A lovely seating area on the deck for dining or just to take in the far reaching countryside views-perfect for a 'getaway from it all' holiday. Although in a peaceful location you are still within driving distance of the Cornwall and Devon coast (between 30mins-1.5hrs) and also Dartmoor itself! All in all a lovely place to stay and visit-well done Sally & Andrew for providing a good service.
