Valley Lodge
Valley Lodge is a large, detached, single-storey holiday home set within 1½ acres of riverside meadow, located about two miles from Exebridge. As you approach down the long gravel drive, guests will love the privacy the lodge offers, sheltered along the River Exe in a wooded valley.
Fantastic for those seeking escape from urban life, and as there is no light pollution, the location is perfect for star-gazing during outdoor suppers or strolls along the river. Sightings of deer, badgers and foxes are very likely.
There are three shallow steps up to open porch entrance. The open plan kitchen, living and dining area feels bright and spacious with views across the river and valley. Guests can relax on the sofas in front of the TV which has freesat and a DVD player. The dining table provides a great space to enjoy a family meal, and the kitchen is well equipped with all the key appliances. There is also a washing machine in the hallway and a fridge/freezer in the walk-in larder.
Outside guests will enjoy use of the large wrap-around garden with a lawn and an outdoor seating area, a lovely spot for relaxing in the sunshine. The four bedrooms can comfortably accommodate up to seven guests. The first has a kingsize bed with an en-suite bathroom, a private balcony overlooking the river, a dressing table and a small TV with freeview. The other bedrooms have twin beds, a kingsize bed and a single bed, each sharing use of the family shower room.
Valley Lodge is perfect for guests looking to enjoy the peace and quiet of a Devon beauty spot with Exmoor National Park within easy reach. The pretty local villages of Morebath, Shillingford and Bampton provide local shops, pubs and cafes and the quaint market town of Dulverton, just five miles away, provides further amenities and shops. The local scenery is beautiful and there are many walks from the doorstep. Exmoor, Haddon Hill and Wimbleball Lake are close by for walking, cycling, fly fishing, horse riding and a wide variety of water sports.
There are several National Trust stately homes and gardens within easy reach, including Knightshayes Court, a striking gothic mansion with extensive grounds. The large town of Tiverton is just eight miles away and offers some interesting places in amongst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, including Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life, which is one of the largest social history museums in the south west.
The rolling wild green hills of Exmoor are nearby, where you may find stags, streams and breathtaking scenery. Taunton and the cathedral city of Exeter are a 40-minute drive away offering shops, theatres and restaurants, or visit the beaches of North Devon and the Jurassic Coast. This is a perfect base for touring rural inland Devon, often missed by tourists heading for the coast. With lots of day out opportunities from your doorstep, make Valley Lodge the base for your next Mid Devon holiday.
