Breathtaking and comfortable
We stayed at the Buttercups Lodge. It was a very comfortable stay and also very serene and peaceful. The location of the lodge is ideal for a family or couple who want to go exploring different parts of Devon and also a drive to Cornwall. The lodge has everything you need and the view of Dartmoor is absolutely breathtaking from it. Andrew and Sally were brilliant hosts and kept in communication with us whenever we needed it. Thankyou so much for our wonderful stay. My six year old didn't want to leave!! Have already recommended it the stay for family and friends.

Peaceful with fantastic views!
We all thoroughly enjoyed a well needed break here for a week. The views and sunsets were lovely. We enjoyed eating outside for every single meal. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed and very clean and tidy.

What a amazing place to stay, so relaxing and quiet. The views are breathtaking. The lodge was clean and had everything we needed, the host was friendly and very approachable. I stayed here with my two teenage children and we loved it. Lots to do in the surrounding area, and some lovely places to eat. Would highly recommended this lodge to anyone who wants a get away from the hussle and bussle of daily life.

Family break Autumn half term
We have just returned from a fantastic week staying at Dartmoor View*. We stayed in a very clean and comfortable wooden lodge that suited our needs perfectly. We used it as a base to visit various tourist locations in both Devon and Cornwall. It was ideal for this if you do not mind driving for an hour or so each way. The owners Andrew and Sally provided a fuss free welcome and were most helpful throughout our stay. Although I did not take my bike, I would say this would be a great base for cyclists who share my passion for road cycling. The only downside is that there were no shops within walking distance so stock up for a few days if you are not planning to eat out at the various pubs and restaurants within a 10 mile radius. *They are not joking! The views was fantastic!

Lovely stay, beautiful location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the lodge is just lovely, clean and it feels cosy and homely. The kitchen has everything you need, fridge, freezer a good oven and hob. Nice hot shower and towels provided. Plenty of space for my son to run around, lots of local shops in Okehampton and Bude is a 35 minute drive. The location and view is stunning, so peaceful and beautiful even on a dull day... if you want to get away from it all, this is the place. We have rebooked for next year!

Log cabin
Andrew and Sally were polite and friendly, The log cabin had a few issues, the rug in the lounge part was dirty and grubey (could do with a wash or change) even tho the cabin was allowing dogs, outside we thought was a big issue sitting place was lovely but notice the apple trees very nice in bloom but when the apples are rotton it attracts a lot of wasps so best time to sit outside is when the sun goes down (shame) View lovely. View. The log cabin was adequate but when advertise in brochure it looks modern but we found it old and tied. The shower needs attention the back part was wobbly, In all it just needs a tidy up.

Beautiful!
We had a perfect stay with us (young family of 5) in one lodge and grandparents in another. Top quality build lodges set in beautiful, peaceful countryside. The children enjoyed playing out in the safe paddock area, and especially enjoyed the outdoor toys available for all. The location gives great location to access north Cornwall and devon, but a little further away from the bustle of a typical coastal break. We loved every minute and hope to return again in the future!

A wonderful place to stay
The pictures do not do this place justice, the cabin is stunning and well equipped and the view is breath taking. We had a wonderful stay with our children (9 & 2), will most certainly be returning and can't recommend enough.

Delightful Find
Family holiday in Buttercups for two weeks in August. Wifi was great as it supported video & music streaming. Web pictures of cabin did not do it justice. Linen & towel change on middle weekend, plenty of room on site to exercise our family dog. Helpful owners when needed otherwise did not know they were there. Good location for visiting North Devon & North Cornwall, as plenty to entertain and occupy all the family.

Thoroughly recommend comfortable lodge
We needed a break before the school holidays start and the grand-parenting gets going, and chose this location for a quiet yet convenient area to visit. Andrew and Sally made us very welcome and the high standard of the lodges meant our week at the beginning of July was excellent, with the uncontrollable bonus of good weather. We look forward to returning some time

Entspannte Tage in gemütlichem Blockhaus
Gemütliches helles Blockhaus, gepflegt und gut ausgestattet. Schöner Freisitz, Blumen vor dem Haus, wunderschöner Blick über Weideland aufs Dartmoor. Mappe mit zahlreichen Hinweisen und Infos zum Haus und zur Umgebung liegt bereit. Andrew wohnt nebenan, ist freundlich und unkompliziert und offen für Fragen. Ländliche Umgebung, Anfahrt erforderlich für Ausflüge und zum Einkaufen. Lohnende Ziele: Dartmoor, Atlantikküste, Exeter. Leider trotz schöner Umgebung kaum Fußwege zum Spazierengehen vom Haus aus. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen und uns gut erholt!

English translation : cosy bright lodge , well maintained and equipped . Nice courtyard , flowers in front of the house , beautiful views of pastures on Dartmoor . Wallet with numerous references and information about the home and the environment is ready . Andrew lives next door , is friendly and uncomplicated and open to questions . Rural Area , Driving required for excursions and shopping. Rewarding destinations : Dartmoor , Atlantic coast , Exeter . Unfortunately, despite beautiful surroundings hardly any footpaths for walking from the house. We enjoyed our stay and very relaxing ! Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte, ich bin froh, Sie hatten alle eine gute Zeit!
