Woodpecker Lodge

Very clean, well-equipped and comfortable.

Helpful owners. Peaceful setting with country views and sheep. Everything we needed.

We had a wonderful time, met Ann and she was so lovely, the views were amazing and there was everything we needed for a wonderful week.

The highlight was seeing the sheep go past the gate each day it was so lovely, the brownies eggs were so tasty thank you. Would definitely recommend if you want a wonderful quiet week in the countryside.

Woodpecker lodge was all it said it was going to be, just a real pain that the road was shut so was hard to get the first time, but could not be helped, the owner was very lovely.

The Woodpecker Lodge was incredible and a proper ‘home away from home’ experience.

The welcome gifts and the pack full of information were lovely touches. It was an idyllic quiet location. Well equipped and super clean. Anne was kind and thoughtful and this reflects in the accommodation.

Superb accommodation and lovely hosts.

Woodpecker Lodge is even lovelier than the photos show. I cannot fault it. From its quiet location, its easy access to all parts of Devon and into Cornwall and it's rolling hillside views. The property has been finished to a very high standard and maintained perfectly. The quality of the furnishings is faultless. It is very well equipped and the bed was so comfortable. It was spotlessly clean. The high ceilings, give a lovely feeling of space and airiness. I visited in November and the underfloor heating meant I never felt cold, even when it wasn't on. Fantastic hosts, whose generosity of a welcome pack (including a scrumptious chocolate cake) was a lovely treat - thank you Anne. I definitely plan to return.

Lovely place and the welcome pack was great, well maintained and the owner was helpful if we wanted anything.

The lamb it well worth a try as Anne and her husband own the farm and you can’t get better fresher meat. Well worth a try!

Very very happy and would highly recommend!

Fantastic hosts, great surroundings, very rural outlook. Nice and quiet! Would go back without hesitation.

Superb property, as good as any we have stayed in over the years.

Woodpecker Lodge is set in very peaceful and picturesque Devon countryside, it is kept in beautiful condition with all the facilities that you could hope for. We were lucky with some excellent weather which allowed us to make full use of the outside seating and dining area. This consists of a large balcony which wraps itself around the building giving you sunshine for a very long period. The owners were so welcoming and helpful as well selling produce from their delightful country farm. If you like a peaceful holiday this is the place to be, yet still accessible to many places to visit.

Nothing at all

Really lovely lodge in a wonderfully quiet location, with great views.

Welcome gifts were really nice, especially the cake. Accommodation is amazing & will definitely be looking to book up again in the future. Highly recommended.

Woodpecker is a lovely lodge, very well equipped, very spacious, very comfortable and the proprietor is also very nice (and she make a very nice sponge cake!

!).

A lovely clean cottage.

Well equipped. Good location. Everything felt brand new. Nice welcome package which is always appreciated. Owners around if you need them . I would definitely book again

Excellent accommodation in lovely location, all the facilities required for a comfortable vacation.

A brilliant lodge In such a beautiful location (very tranquil)).

We throughly enjoyed our relaxing stay couldn't have wished for better accommodation. Thank you Anne and Rob for the welcome pack especially the G &T and lovely fresh eggs. Glyn and Marion. Gosport. Hampshire

Anne and Rob have lovely accommodation which is maintained very well they have all the equipment you could need and also provide over and above.

Cake, gin and tonic, eggs and milk were all there when we arrived. Views are beautiful and environment quiet and peaceful. I'm afraid to say we were very lazy on our stay but if you want to do more they have provided lots of information regarding local food and amenities. My Husband really enjoyed fishing the farm pond which was full of different types of fish. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend could not fault anything. P.s lamb and veg we took home with us delicious

Lovely lodge fantastic owners loved our stay Enjoyed sitting outside in the evening with great views The facilities were excellent we couldn’t have wished for more

We thoroughly enjoyed spending a week at Woodpecker Lodge.

The owners, Anne and Robert are very welcoming, hospitable and caring to your needs and the lodge is very comfortable and equipped with everything a holiday home should have. Bedrooms, bathrooms and the living space all designed to a high standard and the property is in a beautiful location, with lovely views, nestled in the grounds of a working farm, surrounded by sheep which provide wonderful entertainment. We couldn't fault a thing and would certainly consider returning.

Absolutely beautiful!

A perfect place to stay if you enjoy peace & tranquility. Fabulous lodge with wonderful views of the Devon rolling hills & good local walks. Set on a working farm, we have loved observing the animals every day. Anne, our host, has provided everything you could possibly need while away. 10/10 all round!

Had a fantastic weeks stay at Woodpecker Lodge.

The Lodge itself is very well equipped for self catering accommodation and is clean and comfortable throughout. We had cake, milk, eggs (fresh from the farm) and gin and tonics waiting for us on arrival. And Anne was also there to give a warm welcome. She was very attentive during our stay and gave some good suggestions of where to visit. The views were stunning and there are plenty of walks right on the doorstep if you have dogs. It is also a good base to visit both North and south Devon, or indeed some of the local villages. I couldn't feel more relaxed in this quiet and tranquil location. Will definitely be back!!

This is excellent accommodation.

A spacious lodge, well-equipped and comfortable. The rural setting is peaceful and out of the way. The owners are friendly. Tea and coffee, milk and eggs were waiting for us, along with cake. The farm sells lamb, pork and eggs. You don't really need to go anywhere. Even the internet is good. Criticisms? Well, the dessert spoons were a little small....

Wonderful rural setting with great views Very friendly and welcoming hosts Property clean, spacious and very well appointed with very well equipped kitchen

Great property, Great views , peaceful and quiet place to stay , was left lovely goodies ie home made raspberry flapjacks milk wine and fresh eggs from the chickens on the farm lovely touch , we will definitely return to this property sometime in the future.

It’s a great location to explore north or south Devon as you’re not too far from either.

We had a lovely break away for my partners birthday.

Anne was lovely and came and saw us on our first day. We was greeted by homemade cake which was lovely and some little bits from the farm. The place is beautiful with stunning views. We hope to be back soon. Thank you so much Anne and Rob!!x

Fantastic week in a beautiful lodge.

Everything was perfect. Sue and David Levett.

A beautifully presented and well equipped eco-lodge - the best rental we have stayed in in the area.

It is located in a picturesque region and run by very friendly, helpful owners. Anyone staying in Woodpecker Lodge will not be disappointed!

An immaculate well appointed lodge that was everything we hoped for and more.

Perfect for either visiting Devons many attractions or just chilling watching the sheep and listening to the birds. With everything you could possibly need and a wonderful welcome pack it was a truly great place to stay.

Attended between 8th and 15th September 23.

3 adults and one cavapoo. Before our holiday we was contacted by the joint owner Anne, who wanted to know if we wanted the beds made up separately or to zip them together to make big doubles. Plus wanted confirmation of our time of arrival and wished us a safe journey to Pound Farm. Arrival: The woodpecker lodge is very new ( built early 2023) and modern on the inside with everything you could want for a perfect stay. You can park a number of cars behind your wooden gates. In the kitchen it has everything you could want to make a sandwich to a roast dinner. Tall fridge freezer and dish washer. Both bedrooms are bright clean and good size. The two bathrooms are very clean and modern,with excellent hot water and pressure. One bathroom with walk in shower and the other with bath with over shower. Dinning room table for up to 6 people. Living area had a comfortable seating area which looks out onto the patio and the rolling fields. Large smart tv. Utility room with washing machine and sink and for putting your out door boots and coats. Underfloor heating which we didn’t need due to great weather we had. Large patio area with table and chairs and wicker furniture at one end, plus bbq. Views across the fields and the owners sheep. Wi-Fi very good. Mobile was a bit hit and miss which was nice not to keep getting phone calls :) Welcome pack of milk,tea bags,coffee,eggs,cake and bottle of wine, which was a very nice touch. Local pub Butterleigh inn is just a 5 minute drive or just a 10 to 15 minute walk. We had our Sunday roast there and visited for a evening drink which was very nice. Book in advance for Sunday roast. Overall: This is a fantastic clean modern lodge with super friendly and helpful owners Anne and Rob. Set in a peaceful location with great views of the countryside. I would highly recommend to anyone,and we are already looking to possibly go back in 2024 with my parents. Top tip: we ordered our food supplies on line with Tesco,s who delivered the next day to our lodge.

Idyllic setting.

Fabulous lodge well appointed. Needed a chill out week and we got it !! Perfect weather.Here you can do as much or as little . Fantastic hosts

Extremely friendly owners, welcome cake, wine, eggs from their farm and plums.

Peaceful location. Lots to do on the area. Everything you could need is provided. Highly recommend xxxxx

Perfect location in the heart of Devon, the lodge is beautiful, clean and everything you could need is included.

Tiverton is approximately 15 minutes away and has an M&S food hall which was perfect to stock up on food when required. The owners are lovely and showed us around the farm which was lovely with sheep and cows. I would definitely recommend the lodge to anyone, we had a really enjoyable and relaxing stay

A lovely lodge with amazing views of the countryside, and it was a lovely place to stay on holiday whatever the weather.

A very relaxing stay and many thanks to Rob and Anne for providing such attention to detail in what is a beautiful log cabin.

10/10 and highly recommended!

Wonderfully appointed, presented and spotlessly clean holiday accommodation With all the comforts of home We will definitely be back next year

Nothing to complain about at all.

The house and hospitality was fantastic. Thank you again for having us

Woodpecker Lodge is set in a very beautiful and idyllic location.

If peace and tranquillity is what you are after for your stay then this lodge will be perfect for you. On arrival to the Lodge we were welcomed with delicious homemade banana and chocolate cake, gin & tonic, milk and free range eggs from the farm which was a lovely gesture, we also had baby lambs in the field outside the lodge which was wonderful to see and hear! The accommodation itself was absolutely spotless and had all of the necessities that you could possibly want for your stay and more! Anne and Robert have definitely gone above and beyond when building the lodge and making your stay perfect. With regards to food, we took a walk to the Butterleigh Inn for an evening meal, all of their delicious food is homemade and the land lady is extremely welcoming. We also drove to the Fisherman's Cot in Bickleigh and had a great Sunday carvery, would highly recommend both pubs. We will certainly be returning to Woodpecker Lodge for another fabulous stay, Thank you Anne and Robert, we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Lovely cosy, spacious property with everything we needed.

We loved watching the lambs in front of the lodge. Very warm friendly hosts who left us some excellent goodies on arrival which was much appreciated. Plenty to do in the area & lots of dog walks.

We enjoyed a wonderful short break at Woodpecker Lodge, Pound Farm.

Anne and Rob are great hosts with many years experience, ensuring our stay was the best it could be. If you’re lucky and time your stay right, you may get to see a lamb being delivered. Butterleigh is an excellent location for exploring Devon. Do walk to Bickleigh and enjoy lunch at Bickleigh Mill. Dinner at the Butterleigh Inn is not to be missed and the the walks around Dulverton are a joy. My wife and daughters are already planning next year’s Easter break.
