    “We had a lovely stay at Poppy Lodge.”

    Welcome pack was the best we’ve ever had. The lodge was very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. It’s a lovely base for visiting other areas, only 10 mins drive to Ilfracombe and it looked to have a regular bus service. Unfortunately there was some ground work happening directly outside the Lodge during our stay but this was completely out of the owners control and she kept in touch regularly with us about this situation. It didn’t spoil our holiday. We would return.

The property

Nestled in the quiet Northwest corner of Mullacott Park just a short drive south of Ilfracombe, lies this charming, two-bedroom holiday home, Poppy Lodge.

Set over one floor in a delightful contemporary lodge, this property boasts off-road parking; gorgeous countryside setting that enjoys views of farmland, wild flora and fauna, then over the fields to the sea and Wales in the distance (on a fine day), making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a refreshing, fuss-free escape to the heart of rural Devon. Park up and step into your new home-away-from-home, where you will be greeted by a well-presented, inviting, open-plan living space.

A fully-equipped kitchen, complete with an integrated electric oven and a tasteful central island with gas hob await the chosen chef, whilst dining indoor and outdoor dining seating allow for intimate or alfresco mealtimes.

In warmer months, take a glass of your favourite beverage out onto the furnished, enclosed decking area, where you and your loved ones can raise a glass to toast your getaway whilst you soak in the stunning surrounding countryside.

In the evenings, gather in the sitting room to enjoy watching the sun go down, watch a BD/DVD plug in your USB stick to stream your favourite shows or use the Freesat box to watch TV, before you retire to a plush double with TV and DVD or the twin bedroom for a well-earned slumber.

In the morning, enjoy a hot espresso from the Tassimo coffee machine before you set out to explore what your local area has to offer.

Make a short car/bus journey to Woolacombe, widely regarded as one of the best in the UK, great for relaxing taking in some sun (weather dependant) walking next to the gentle waves, fly a kite, make a sandcastle go shopping or have a go at surfing (training and equipment hire available).

Enjoy a Devon breakfast with a coffee looking over the beach at the Beachcomber café Vegan menu. Take a walk to Morte Point to enjoy some seal watching or walk or ride along some of the 180-mile long Tarka trail 32miles of which is flat and traffic free!

Or pop up onto the wilds of Exmoor National Park 9 miles to the east.

Take in a show at the Landmark theatre.

There are so many options to choose from including visiting Lynton and Lynmouth, Clovelly, The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (Woody Bay Station), Falconry and sheep dog display (during summer), play golf in Ilfracombe or Saunton, ride a horse and see the Alpaca’s or a Segway Safari just down the road.

With foot golf, and even banger racing just over the road!
