Lilys Pad

An excellent dwelling well situated between north and south Devon.

Property was clean and well equipped and the hosts very friendly and ensured that we were not wanting. An excellent holiday so much so that we have booked for next year in their other property let.

We loved both Hosts & Accommodation.

It was like home away from home.. very good balance of countryside as accessibility to well known attractions nearby. I would highly recommend Lily pad.

We spent a long weekend at Lilys Pad ( Fri- Mon) & absolutely loved it.

We were a party of four , plus a Labrador & found it very comfortable with plenty of space. Lovely & clean & well equipped. The owners, Sarah & John, were so friendly & on hand with recommendations & helpful places to visit/ eat etc. Would very much recommend & would definitely re- visit.

The hosts John and Sarah greeted us and gave us lots of useful information.

So friendly. Well, 3 nights wasn't enough and we were sad to leave. Beautiful place they have. We normally do static caravans and this was superior with lots of living space. Loved having the enclosed decking for the dog and 1 acre of field to walk around. Perfect base for exploring. We went to Bude and it was about 50 mins drive and Brill for dogs. Thank you

This is out 4th visit to John & Sarah's.

We have experienced both Windy Willows and Lilys Pad and they are equally excellent in everything required for an very very pleasant and fulfilling stay in Mid Devon. This our 3rd visit to Lilys Pad which did not disappoint in any way. Accommodation, cleanliness and faculties are top notch with the added bonus of John & Sarah as really excellent hosts. We shall return as it is like coming home. Once again John & Sarah thanks very much for making our visit so good,

Excellent accomodation with everything we could possibly need, plenty of room and lovely gardens overlooking the countryside, very peaceful Good starting off point for North Devon and Dartmoor.

Simmonds Gardens in Oakhampton very pleasant especially during the heatwave

We had a wonderful stay at Lily’s Pad and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

The accommodation was spotlessly clean, incredibly spacious, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It was clear that a lot of thought and care had gone into ensuring guests have everything they could possibly need. A special mention must go to the hosts, John and Sarah, who were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and informative from start to finish. They made us feel very welcome and were always happy to offer local recommendations and answer any questions, helping us make the most of our visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Lily’s Pad to anyone looking for comfortable, well-equipped accommodation with outstanding hosts. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Love Lily,s Pad,being disabled it really suits us,Sarah and John the owners are on hand any problems,going back for another week in Sept for our 3rd visit in 2yrs,been to many cottages but this is the best.

A wonderful place to stay.

Lily’s Pad had everything we needed for our week’s holiday. The location was perfect for excursions. Accomodation was clean, warm and nicely laid out and furnished. The owners were helpful and friendly.

Our second stay at Lily’s Pad, once again John and Sarah were very welcoming, property wonderfully clean and everything is catered for.

Lovely and quiet, all you hear are the birds, we also enjoyed watching the baby lambs in a nearby field. We had amazing weather and visited Tavistock, Exeter, Bideford, Rosemore Gardens and popped down to Cornwall one day and visited Mevagissey, beautiful harbour and quaint little shops. Cream teas were served mid week along with some extra treats when John and Sarah discovered it was my Birthday. A wonderful week and we have booked again for next year. Many thanks for a great stay x

We had such a lovely stay at Lily's pad, thank you so much.

It was clean, tidy, had everything we needed and the log burner was a lovely addition for the chilly evenings. We (and the dog) were made very welcome and really appreciated the information about different places to visit that were dog friendly. We really only had one slight issue which was that the bathroom was really cold and it took us till our second day to realise where the switch for the towel rail was. However even with it on, it was quite cold in there as it didn't pump out much heat. Only a slight issue really and at a warmer time of year, this wouldn't be a problem. All in all though, we had a lovely stay and would recommend it to others.

WiFi not good

This was our 3rd visit to John & Sarah's.

We had originally stayed in Windy Willows absolutely fabulous, but on our past 2 visits opted for Lily;s Pad. Both establishment are on equal par and as said before every comfort and need tailored for. We choose Lilys Pad because it absolutely suits us. It is very very clean and comfortable, with everything anyone could need for a restful and relaxing stay. John and Sarah are consummate hosts, who anticipate and provide everything one could possibly need, plus great sense of information provided with great humour. We look forward to another visit next year.

Found the description slightly misleading, as we expected to be looking out onto the garden/fields rather than a row of timber buildings.

However, the cleanliness of the chalet was excellent and well equipped, and the owner, John, was very helpful. So yes, we would go back again.

Lily’s pad is the perfect home from home, John and Sara were there to welcome us John showed us how every thing worked I have to have medical oxygen and this was installed with no problems.

If we ever get back to this part of the country we will only book Lily’s pad. Bosley the spanel sulked for 2daysas he to had a great time at lily’s pad.

Lily's Pad was areal home from home.

Very comfortable, very clean. Host's John and Sarah were very welcoming and very friendly. We were left scones, jam and cream also a bottle of wine and milk. Lovely touch. Cottage was very central for visiting different places and all the local pubs served great food, especially The Taw River Inn , The Fountain and The Crossways Inn for Sunday carvery. Would definitely recommend this property and would book again if wanting to stay in the area.

Our first visit to Lily’s Pad, but definitely not our last, beautiful place, a true home from home with everything you could possibly need.

A warm welcome awaited us from John, lovely welcome pack and recommendations of local pubs and restaurants, we visited Exeter, Barnstaple, Plymouth, Brixham and even dropped down into Cornwall one day and went to Mevagissey. Lily’s Pad is lovely and quiet, we slept very well and recharged our batteries, a wonderful week, booked again for next year already x

Fabulous cottage.

So much space in all of the rooms, unlike most cottages, this really does accommodate 4 without being cramped up. The big bonus was a secure dog paddock. Sitting outside watching the sun set adds to the charm. Would thoroughly recommend

Accommodation was lovely had everything you needed, John was very helpful.

We had a very enjoyable few days will definitely be booking again

Very warm welcome from John and Sarah.

John explained how everything works and connect to wi fi. Accommodations is excellent home from home everything that you need. Spotlessly clean a comfortable. Even a big fan that was a bonus due to heat wave. Nice welcome pack to arrive to after travelling. Also nice surprise cream tea in mid week. John also sends you links to places to help you find them either for food or places of interest which is very helpful. Would definitely recommend and will return

Lovely well equipped property which combined with the very helpful and accommodating hosts in John and Sarah meant we had a lovely relaxing break, nice decking area to sit outside and take in the lovely views.

Would highly recommend.

Sarah And John lovely couple ,most helpful.

Will hopefully be able to see them again soon .thank you, Christine .

We had a very enjoyable stay at Lilys Pad, spotlessly clean and comfortable, the large garden and outdoor seating was a real bonus and the owners welcomed us on arrival and helped us with local knowledge etc.

Oakhampton is an ideal base for access for walks we had planned on Dartmoor, cycling on the Granite Way and a day at Exeter Quay by train. It’s very possible that we will return next year.

We had a great couple of nights at John and Sarah’s place, the accommodation is very comfortable and in a stunning location, and we had everything we needed.

John and Sarah are lovely and very welcoming and helpful. We’ll be back again for sure, hopefully for more than just a couple of nights next time!

Great hosts, received a very warm welcome.

Met us when we arrived & showed us around. Milk, wine & a cake was very much appreciated. Nice peaceful setting within easy reach to either coastlines. Lots of places to visit nearby. Lots of nice walks within easy reach by car although not by foot from the property as the road it is on is quite busy & wouldn’t be able to walk along it but on the whole a good base to stay.

We've had another wonderful stay at Lilys Pad.

John and Sarah are extremely welcoming and helpful. The cottage is exceptionally clean and comfortable, and very well equipped. Thoughtful little touches like the very welcome cake and wine, and the cream tea halfway through our stay show how much care and thought has gone into making Lilys Pad the perfect place to relax and enjoy all that this part of Devon has to offer.

Lovely property, good location to be able to explore Devon and areas of Cornwall close by.

Great garden for evening views and kids and dog to play. Very clean and comfortable. Welcoming and helpful hosts

Absolutely loved Lilys pad,everything spotlessly clean and in a lovely rural location but only a 10 minute drive into Okehampton,comfy accommodation and a bonus for Dog owners is the lovely Extensive Garden for your Dogs to play.

John.and Sarah the owners are absolute gems,nothing to much trouble for them and always available if you need anything.Will certainly be staying again.

We have been to numerous cottages and this was the best so far.

The owners were very helpful and welcoming. The property is well maintained and looked after. Plenty of space for our dogs. Would recommend to anybody as suitable to both north and south coast along with Dartmoor and nice venues for food and drink. Perfect for our needs and relaxing. My thanks to John and Sarah.

Excellent location for visiting Devon & Cornwall.

Nice touch by John to explain how everything worked in the cabin & what was around it. Right level of interaction - shout if you need anything otherwise stayed behind the scenes.

Amazing hosts and lovely and clean place to stay the girls really enjoyed their stay.

The garden space was top notch and they throughly enjoyed the run around in the mornings and evenings.

Beautiful!

Very clean and well maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Our 2nd visit to John & Sarah's fabulous establishments.

We previously stayed at Windy Willows which was fabulous This time we stayed Lily's Pad, equally great. There was nothing we could complain about, cleanliness, facilities and the welcome that both John & Sarah extended to us. You arrive unpack and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the area. John & Sarah have a fabulous establishment that provides everything you could possibly need with both Lily's Pad and Windy Willows. Look forward to a future visit knowing what to expect, plus John & Sarah and their very welcome as good friends..

We enjoyed our stay at Lily’s Pad.

It’s bright, airy, comfortable, spacious, clean and very welcoming. The kitchen has everything you may need. Each bedroom has an en-suite, the beds are very comfortable. The owners John and Sarah are very welcoming, they surprised us with a lovely mid break treat. We would definitely recommend staying here and we will be back there.

We had a fantastic break at Lilys Pad.

John and Sarah are extremely helpful and welcoming hosts, and go the extra mile to look after their guests. Due to unforeseen circumstances we arrived very late in the evening, and John kindly took time to show us round and made sure we had everything we needed. The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It was lovely to come back from walking on the moor to sit and enjoy the warmth from the log burner before sleeping in the very comfortable bed. Lilys Pad is the perfect base for a holiday in Devon, and we hope to return soon.

Excellent accomodation.

Warm & cosy. Attentive hosts who are kind and generous . . . without being at all intrusive.

Stunning property in a stunning location, furnished to a very high standard, made to feel very welcome by the owners Sarah and John, complimentary bottle of Wine waited our arrival, and we did not want to leave.

Would definitely recommend a stay.

Had a fabulous week at Lilys Pad, lovely accomodation with friendly, helpful owners.

Great views from the garden, lots of places to visit nearby & coastal resorts within an hours drive to the North & South.

Wonderfully welcoming hosts, who really put themselves out to ensure our stay was perfect, spoiling us with treats during the week.

The property was spacious and very well equipped, the large, enclosed garden was perfect for the dog. Beautiful sunsets and plenty to do in the surrounding areas.

Lily's pad is a lovely property and very well equipped.

John was an excellent host, going over and above to help us. We really enjoyed our stay and just wish we could have stayed longer.

Lily’s Pad is a beautiful holiday home set in a stunning location.

Lily’s Pad felt like home from the moment we arrived and had absolutely everything we needed for a lovely relaxing holiday. The owners were lovely, warm, friendly and very welcoming. They made contact prior to our arrival to pin drop the exact location to help us find the holiday home and also offered to put up a football net for our 10 year old son which he absolutely loved. The owners left some treats to enjoy on arrival and brought us a delicious mid-week treat too. The owners were happy to make suggestions and recommendations for activities in the area and further away as well as places of interest, places to buy provisions and where to eat and drink. There is a beautiful enclosed garden with picnic table to sit at and enjoy the views. We really didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to rebook and visit again next year. Thank you to the owners for sharing their beautiful holiday home with us. It was a truly wonderful place to stay with amazing owners.

Lily’s Pad was everything it said it would be and more.

The owners, John and Sarah completely lived up to all the reviews and were genuinely welcoming and helpful. John provided recommendations on places to visit and eat, all of which were lovely. The accommodation was beautiful, extremely clean and tidy with everything you need, a home from home. Our four legged friend was as welcome as we were, with no rules of what he could or couldn’t do. He loved the enclosed field where he could run freely and was stretch his legs. I honestly could not recommend Lily’s Pas enough, thank you John and Sarah.

Excellent holiday accommodation, Lily's Pad has everything you could need and was very Comfortable.

John & Sarah were excellent hosts and gave us some good local information along with some excellent home made scones and cream. We would love to return at some point as we feel we only scratched the surface of what is available locally and we would be more than happy to stay at Lily's Pad again.

Great location to enjoy the peace and quiet or as a base for explorers!

The property has pretty much everything you need and is definitely a home away from home. I would have no hesitation’s in returning!

John and Sarah were most welcoming and made us feel at ease and couldn’t do enough for us.

The facilities were of excellent quality and the accommodation was one of the best we have stayed in. We would be very happy to spend longer there and are quite likely to return at some point. Thanks for an enjoyable albeit brief stay.

A blissful week's Stay at Lovely Lily's Pads Dog Friendly lodge in Okehampton Devon Our week-long stay at Lovely Lily's Pads was an absolute delight!

From the moment we arrived, John and Sarah made us feel incredibly welcome. Their warm hospitality set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The accommodation itself was immaculate and well-appointed. The decor was charming, blending modern conveniences with a cozy, rustic feel. It was clear that a lot of thought had been put into making the space comfortable and inviting. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights throughout our stay. One of the standout features of Lovely Lily's Pads is its dog-friendly policy. We brought our furry baby harry along, and he had just as much fun as we did. The property has plenty of space for dogs to run around and explore, with a huge inclose field for him to run freely which was a lovely surprise and making it a hassle-free experience for pet owners. Okehampton itself is a charming town with plenty to offer. We explored the local shops, the castle and Simmons park, was also a nice treat one evening when we ordered fish and chips which was recommended by John. The location of Lovely Lily's Pads was ideal for day trips to nearby attractions, including Dartmoor National Park, which was breathtaking an many more others. John and Sarah were always on hand to offer recommendations and ensure we had everything we needed. Their attention to detail and genuine care for their guests made a huge difference. In summary, our stay at Lovely Lily's Pads in Okehampton was fantastic. The dog-friendly environment, excellent accommodation, and the hosts' hospitality made it a memorable experience. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming retreat, in the peaceful countryside of Devon especially those traveling with pets. We can't wait to return! so we highly recommend Lily‘s pads lodge Thank you John and Sarah for a lovely week away. X

Our stay at Lily's Pad was amazing , the hosts John & Sarah go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed ,at ease and just relaxed .

The property is of high standard ,the grounds are maintained and is just a picture of scenenity. We would highly recommend Lily's Pad as a holiday destination or just as a weekend break away.

Owners John and Sarah were extremely welcoming.

Accomodation was clean and very well presented. Wonderful places to visit close by. Would not hesitate to book again.

Just returned from a fabulous break at Lilys Pad - 2 adults, 2 teenagers & a labrador - and wish we could go straight back!

John and Sarah are lovely, welcoming hosts who are always on hand, and their accommodation is wonderful. Perfectly clean, cosy and charming, with everything you need. The rooms are well furnished and warm, with comfortable sofas and beds. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of fridge/freezer space and storage for all your shopping. The decking is ideal for enjoying the night sky, and the garden offers great views of the surrounding countryside as well as plenty of space to exercise the family dog. Having stayed in several places throughout Devon and Cornwall over the last few years, Lilys Pad is one of, if not the best, so far and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Lovely owners that make you feel welcome.

Cosy cabin that’s ideal for a short break in Devon/Dartmoor area. Good value for money.

Amazing stay, great location, the cottage was first rate and the hosts were very attentive.

We had a wonderful stay at Lily's Pad, it was a great base for exploring Dartmoor and Sarah and John were amazing hosts.

The cabin is beautiful and had all the facilities we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay again!

We stayed at Lily's Pad before and after surgery at Woods Medi-Spa.

It was perfect for us and good location - close enough to both Okehampton and the clinic, but in a really nice and quiet country spot. The cottage had all the facilities we needed and was much bigger and better than the photos suggest. Everything was spotless when we arrived, and had everything we needed for a home-based stay. John and Sarah were great hosts, and very helpful. Also responded quickly to any questions we had.
