“We had an absolutely perfect stay, such a well appointed house.”

The dogs had a wonderful time and we just relaxed. Loved being away from it all, beautiful surroundings and so peaceful. Can’t fault the cottage/cabin, had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to stay again xx

“What a perfect place to stay!”

Quiet and comfortable and in easy reach of the coast. Biggest 5 stars was a list of things you could do and that were available in the property which is a refreshing change from a list of things you can't!! Especially made a relaxing stay with 2 dogs so thank you we all loved it and would wholly recommend

Ruth August 2024

“Had a lovely relaxing time in the lodge and even took our teppanyaki and had food outside on the decking one evening.”

It is so peaceful and would highly recommend. Only thing I missed was a hoover to get the bits up off the carpet b4 we left as I always like to leave our place of stay as clean as I can.

- Ruth, August 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback and we are so pleased you had a peaceful time away. I do have a hoover ready to come down to the lodge as the last 1 broke so I'm sorry for the inconvenience not having it there sooner. So glad you had a lovely time away. Property Owner
Paul August 2024

“Absolutely brilliant, equipped for everything, very clean, spacious, warm and quiet.”

Ideal base to venture out and about. Great fishing ponds within 1 min drive. Spoke to Clare the owner, very nice lady, will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great break. Cannot fault the place, even down to having a dog bed, poo bags and dog towels . It was perfect, thank you Clare and Ian.

- Paul, August 2024

Louisa July 2024

“Lovely place, peaceful and good location.”

Good outdoor area for kids to play or run around. Beds very comfy, master bathroom really lovely. Seating very comfy. We appreciate the games and dvds. Good tvs. WiFi was great. There were fans which we really appreciated. Nice picnic table to sit at with parasol on a hot day. Dog blankets were great, the provider poop bags and dog bowls. Fridge freezer a great size for family of 4. Thankful of the dishwasher. Largely very clean and tidy. It's been maintained well. Just a little dusty around master bed at the back and down back legs. Single beds a little too narrow. Would have liked to have had a hoover, especially with two young kids and a dog about. No washing machine so recommend pack more than you might need. Bath mat was slippery so suggest getting a new one. Would also recommend plastic kids plates/dishes and cups... Just in case. Overall we had a really lovely stay. Could have stayed another week. Easy to find and we were close enough with a 20 min ride to most local places and food beaches. Lovely hearing the birds sing and the local chickens! Felt very relaxed in the place. Rarely heard the neighbours as it's far enough apart and liked the privacy of the hedges and shrubbery near by. Really pretty place.

- Louisa, July 2024

Thank you very much for your feedback it's very much appreciated. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and had a great time. Unfortunately the hoover broken the week before you arrived but a replacement will be there very soon. We try our very hardest to make the lodge a home from home experience and are happy when guests enjoy their holiday there. Thank you again for your feedback Property Owner
Karen July 2024

“Lovely peaceful lodge.”

Very well equipped with good quality furnishings & kitchen equipment. Huge smart tv in lounge, DVD player with DVD’s, Alexa, jigsaws etc. Very dog friendly Dog bowls, bed, towels, even poo bags provided. Very remote so a few miles to the nearest shop, but this was not an issue with forward planning. A suggestion would be a fan for the bedrooms as it can get quite hot. Plenty of lovely places to visit not too far away. We visited Bude, Westward Ho, Boscastle & Tintagel. All lovely places. There’s also an outlet nearby if you are looking for a bargain. Spoke with the owner Claire as we left something behind. Very nice person who is happy to post it to us for which we are very grateful. Would definitely return & recommend for a getaway from it all holiday.

- Karen, July 2024

Thank you for your great review, I can reassure that we have fans in the lodge just in case the summer comes back. I was more than happy to post your forgotten items and hope to welcome you back soon. Kind regards Clare and Ian Property Owner

Claire March 2024

“Lovely comfortable, clean peaceful lodge, we very much enjoyed our stay, we wish we had had one dry day though so we could enjoy the lovely outside seating area but you can't have it all!”

- Claire, March 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback were so pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner
Tina October 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay, such a well equipped lodge.”

Couldn't fault it at all. Lovely setting. Would like to add that it does have a walk in shower, as I couldn't find that on the website and being old folks that was a bonus. I would advise anyone staying in lodge to make sure you have all the food you need when staying as the nearest shop is about 4 miles away.

- Tina, October 2023

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. As lodge owners we really try to make your holiday as home from home. We are very pleased you enjoyed your time away and thank you again for your feedback Property Owner
Garry September 2023

“Lovely property everything in lodge except easting machine which probably be better than dishwasher .”

Would of been nice to have details of nearest fishing shops would book again

- Garry, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your holiday Property Owner
Chris September 2023

“Only marked you down on 2 because.”

.. on asking Sykes if there were hairdryer and cafetiere, was told 'there is a kettle' (Accurate but not helpful) there were actually two hairdryers. these small details are helpful when you have a small car boot. Both items were actually available in the property - some update needed to Sykes site. Let the owner know that the foyer ceiling light flickers after about 5 minutes. Also the patio door would benefit from a squirt of WD-40 on the locking points. Otherwise a VERY NICE property

- Chris, September 2023

Thank you very much for your feedback. The 2 items you asked sykes about are both in the lodge, I will look into updating this information. Also I will look into the other problems mentioned. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We always provide our phone numbers so if guests have any questions before arrival or during their holiday they can always contact us. Property Owner
Olivia July 2023

Stephanie July 2023

“Really enjoyed our stay at Stonewood Lodge.”

The lodge is much bigger than I expected and very comfortable. It was a shame the weather wasn't a little better to make more use of the decks and outside space. The site was so quiet and the lodge felt private surrounded by trees. Everything was clean, the kitchen well equipped and the bed was comfy. Thank you for a lovely stay, We will definitely book again in the future.

- Stephanie, July 2023

Thank you so much for lovely feedback. We do pride our lodge on being home from home. We would be very happy to welcome you back for another stay. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you Property Owner
Philip June 2023

“Manuals for kitchen equipment would be helpful.”

There was a remote control in the main bedroom which we couldn't find a use for! The cleaning was good, however there were quite a few cobwebs!!!

- Philip, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. In the guest book there are the instructions for the cooker. All other information is also in the guest book. We have had a new cleaning company in so I will be having a chat with them. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner
Jill June 2023

“We found Stonewood Lodge to be perfect for us and our Sprocker.”

Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, particularly the peace and quiet! Just birdsong - perfect! Lots of stunning places to visit, we loved the coves, and most of them were dog friendly. Hopefully we can return.

- Jill, June 2023

Thank you for a lovely feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed the peace and quiet as that is what the lodge is special for. We would love to welcome you back soon. Thank you again Property Owner

Martin August 2022

“Fishing great as usual The smell of dog lingered for a day then we found the air freshener.”

Massive TV with was great but unable to take advantage of the Apps as not registered. Could do with a medium saucepan to complete the set no need for the set of steamers for us anyway. Loved the grey knives super sharp. Loved the new lazy boy sofa very comfy not overly keen on the fluff hair & sand under it. Appreciated the foil & clingfilm in the kitchen for lunchtime sandwiches & all other usefully items to hand in the kitchen. Thought the decor was looking a little tired & in need of a fresh coat of paint to justify the above average weekly cost but it didn't deter from a very enjoyable time spent at Stonewood Lodge. Many thanks Regards M

Barbara April 2022

“A lovely lodge, the best I've stayed in so far, felt like home and yes I could easily live there.”

Easy access to the coast with lots of lovely walks..for those inclined ! . Can recommend the Farmers Arms Inn in Woolsey, went for Sunday lunch, excellent. I had a very enjoyable week here.

Kelvin April 2022

“The lodge was spotlessly clean.”

The Beds were comfortable with very nice linen. All one could need was provided although a grab bar on the wall over the bath would be of help to the aged. There is a lake just down the road to which you have access. It is a lovely walk around it and if you fish it has a lot of large carp. The area is lovely if you like walks etc and the distance to nice places was fine. RHS Rosemoor is really lovely and Hartland point is a really scenic spot. Bude is a really nice place and the ice creams are great. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The Tomtom sat nav did not accept the postcode and tried to send us to Bideford. Might be the reception. If you are arriving from Bideford going South on the A39, about halfway to Bude there is a sign on the right to a lane on the left going to West Yagland. About a mile down there is a crossroads. Go straight across and just down there on the right is Hartland Forest Golf Club. The lodges are numbered and sign posted. We had a very happy week there.

- Kelvin, April 2022

Thank you very much for your kind feedback it really means alot to us as owners. We are really pleased you had a lovely week at the lodge and we are always here to help. Property Owner

“Beds extremely comfy and the lodge was well kept and clean .”

Easily adjustable temperatures on the radiators in each room were very handy to set to individual comfort. Would definitely recommend to other family and friends who enjoy a peaceful area and into walking.

Chris February 2022

“Very happy, only couple of recommendations would be to swap some of the wall sockets with usb charging points and perhaps something that needs looking in to but for 75% of our time there the electricity was failing but would come back up again after about 15seconds.”

Had the weather not been bad then it would not haveattered a lot but it meant that we had issues cooking and trying to watch TV in the evenings. Other than that, extremely happy with the stay.

- Chris, February 2022

Thank you for your feedback. I will look into the usb charging points. Unfortunately north devon has been a bit battered by the storms over the last week so there will be a few problems with the supply at times while they are mending any damage that has been caused. Sorry for the inconvience this may of caused. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner
Peter Matthew February 2022

“This is a delightful property set in Hartland Forest.”

The lodge is very well equipped with some lovely touches. It was very warm and snug in the poor weather of early February. Genuinely dog friendly, the Lodge is within easy driving reach of North Devon and Cornwall attractions. If you want luxury peace and quiet in a forest, this is the place for you. Caroline and Matthew

- Martin, October 2021

We are very sorry about the problems you had while at Stonewood Lodge we have sorted the smell of damp. The heating is on a timer but if you need to have extra heat then you can advance the heaters. All is explained in the welcolme pack. Thank you for your comment Property Owner

Located in Hartland Forest Lodges near Woolsery, Stonewood Lodge is a delightful, one-storey lodge surrounded by stunning woodland scenery.

The property is perfect for two couples or a group of friends seeking a rural escape in North Devon, where you'll be close to its spectacular coastline.

Stonewood Lodge has a traditional stone wall and wooden panel exterior, and inside you will find a more contemporary open-plan living area, with plenty of space and light.

The kitchen includes an electric hob, oven, microwave and fridge/freezer to impress your guests with a home-cooked meal, after which you can choose from the selection of DVDs and settle down on the corner sofa for a movie marathon.

Stonewood Lodge contains one king-size zip/link and another king-size, which has access to a private decking area with outdoor seating overlooking the trees; both bedrooms have TVs so you can roll over and watch your favourite show before getting ready for the day ahead.

In the bathroom, the heated towel rail will warm up your towels whilst you get washed and ready.

Stonewood Lodge also has an enclosed outdoor decking with furniture to make the most of the surrounding countryside, whether that's with a cold beer to finish off the day, or a hot coffee to get you started.

If you fancy heading out and seeking a pub, Woolsery is a quaint little village and just a short journey away, where you can find a shop, pub and bakery, as well as a fascinating Grade 1 Listed Building, All Hallow's Church.

Heading north, you will reach Bideford, an historic port town, near to the stunning Westward Ho beach and Northam Burrows Country Park offering great days out; in the town there are plenty of shops, restaurants and cafés to keep you fueled.

To the south of Stonewood Lodge lies Bude, a classically Cornish seaside town with a thriving cultural hub and plenty of opportunities for watersports, from surfing and sailing to taking a gentle swim in Bude Sea Pool.

Offering a peaceful spot in the woodlands, Stonewood Lodge is the perfect base to discover North Devon.
