About this property
Rafters - a lodge that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom
Situated on a farm in the beautiful village of Georgeham near Braunton in North Devon, Rafters Lodge offers luxurious accommodation in a wonderful countryside setting. Step inside and you'll discover a stylish interior with stunning décor highlighted by floor to ceiling glass panels that showcase the rolling fields beyond. A large master bedroom with its king size bed provides a sumptuous retreat from the outside world and the en-suite bathroom which is beautifully designed has a walk-in shower and a huge bath – perfect for a long, relaxing soak. At the centre of the home is a lovely, well-equipped open-plan kitchen – ideal for home cooking; and with so much excellent local produce available in the area you'll be eager to whip up a few Devonshire inspired creations. To the front of the lodge there's a decked patio where you'll discover a bubbling, private hot tub tucked away under the eaves - the best place from which to soak up the tranquil atmosphere and completely unwind, whatever the weather. Rafters welcomes pets and has an enclosed garden to the rear so your four-legged friends get their own space, and the wonderful dog-friendly beaches of Saunton and Woolacombe are just a short drive away.
2 pets allowed, a fixed fee of £25 per dog for a short stay of 2-4 night stays and £40 per dog for a 7+ night stay is chargeable, in line with our house rules we do ask that pets are not left alone in the property, do not use the furniture or go in the bedroom areas.

Really comfortable lodge, we stayed over New Year, It was so peaceful and quiet even though all lodges was full, just could sometimes hear voices in hot tubs but very private. We would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay
The accommodation is very clean and modern with a fenced rear grass area for pets which is perfect. It also has a hot tub. The accommodation is high quality and private. The location means it is possible to walk to the local amenities and to the beach but having a car is useful to get around.

A lovely, relaxing, dog friendly stay
Thank you for such a lovely stay at Rafters. We visited with our 2 dogs and had a very nice and relaxing stay. The lodge was very spacious and well designed, immaculately clean, and very warm and cosy too! We really appreciated the enclosed garden for our dogs which they enjoyed running around in! The hot tub was also a lovely fature and was very warm and welcome after a day out walking. The village of Georgeham is very welcoming - we visited the local shop and the 2 pubs who served excellent food and are just a short walk away. Would definitely recommend a stay at Rafters!
We had the best time here, the location is perfect to explore Croyde, Saunton Sands and Woolacombe. The Rafters Lodge, had everything you need for a relaxing weekend away. Great hot tub too!

Lovely area and views. Accommodation was fantastic, clean and had everything you need. Would recommend to anyone who would like a relaxing break away from it all.
Fabulous well equiped property in superb location. The lodge has everything you could possibly need and the hot tub was amazing. A great place for exploring the surrounding countyside with two brilliant pubs within walking distance. We will definitely return.

Unbelievable
Everything we were hoping for.
A complete get away from the rat race.
Two fantastic pubs which serve great food 10 minutes walk away.
And the best bit is sitting in the hot tub under the stars even in January.
We loved our time there.

Perfect Honeymoon
We couldn't have gone anywhere better in the UK for our honeymoon than March End Lodges.
The lodge really is stunning, we could see ourselves living there if we had the cash!
Beautiful location, boozers down the road were really friendly, cosy country side pubs.
The beaches and surrounding areas were beautiful and made us depressed coming back to Birmingham!
Would definitely come here again.

Rafters for NYE
An absolutely amazing long weekend. Everything you need for a relaxed stay is there from the location with 3 beaches within 15 minutes drive and 2 great pubs in the village. The hot tub was idyllic no matter what the weather.
Communication through out the booking and arrival was great.

Our stay
We stayed here recently and thought it was lovey and very homely. Although it was not easy to find initially once you know the area, it’s easy to get to and from. Everything is just short drive away from the lodges (which are spaced far enough apart from each other). The hot tub was a lovely addition and was lovely and warm after a day of walking and lots of fun on the beach with our little dog.

Fantastic stay
If you and your partner are in search of the ideal retreat for both you and your furry companion, I wholeheartedly endorse this location. This lodge is a stunning haven, boasting both interior and exterior beauty, complete with a secure garden for your dog to roam freely. If you're seeking a place to unwind, clear your mind, and find tranquility, look no further – this is the perfect destination. Moreover, it's conveniently situated close to several beaches and towns, providing ample opportunities for day outings.

Long weekend getaway
We were looking for somewhere quiet but also not too far from the beach and towns, so we could have a few days break just us and the dog - Rafters was the perfect choice. Clean, well laid out, finished to a very high quality and plenty of space to move around. Hot tub was great, some little treats for the dog were left and the owners were very accommodating with our needs. Highly recommend a trip to this place!

Great place to stay with a dog
This is the third time I’ve stayed at Rafters. Super convenient for beaches, costal walks and the cabin has plenty of amenities with a large full enclosed garden space.
Some parts are showing a bit of wear and not all the crockery was fully clean this time.
Be nice if they could provide hot tub towels and a set BBQ area.

Beautiful Property
Loved the stay here as did our dog! Nice touch of Prosecco and milk in the fridge on arrival.
Hot tub and garden a key selling point for this place.
Cleanliness was perfect.
The bathroom overall is beautiful.
Bed super comfy, no noise and pitch black at night-bliss for sleep.
The accommodation is perfectly warm and very cosy at night.
Great location, two lovely pubs in Georgeham (Kings Arms the favourite). Walkable to Croyde also.
Thanks so much!

This place is perfection! Some places call themselves dog friendly when they actually mean dog tolerant, the March End Lodges are truly dog friendly. These lodges have a private enclosed and safe garden for your dog, they leave you dog treats AND a doggy blanket. The lodge itself is gorgeous, spotlessly clean, fully kitted out with everything you need and exudes a feeling of calm and peacefulness. We were even greeted to prosseco in the fridge and milk for those desperate for a cuppa! Under the sink they give you all the little things you’re going to need - dishwasher tabs etc - it just feels like they’ve thought of everything.
The location is amazing, you can walk into the lively little village to two different pubs and a well stocked shop. You can also walk to Putsborough beach (about 40 mins) and then across the beach to Woolacombe.
The hot tub was a gorgeous way to spend our evenings. We didn’t need to worry about our dog as he was safe in the garden. There was a really small issue with the hot tub one night and Nick was there in minutes to fix it! Customer service is here is second to none.
We will be coming back - no doubt about it!

A lovely, calm getaway with the dog
We stayed in Rafters for our minimoon break. We weren't sure how it would be being in the middle lodge, but it was absolutely fine and we weren't disturbed by anyone in the lodges either side; there's plenty of greenery between each lodge to provide privacy. And we were never disturbed by the owners maintaining the hottub which was nice. Very discreet. The fenced garden was perfect for our dog to enjoy whist we were in the hottub. We could leave him to roam and didn't have to worry about him getting out.
The lodge itself was spotless, huge bathroom, comfy bed. Wifi was slow and we struggled to watch catch-up TV because of it, but perhaps that's due to being in a remote area? We wouldn't have normally noticed as we'd have been out and about enjoying the beaches but unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side which is the only reason we watched TV. Not really major, as I'm sure people don't come here to sit and watch TV the whole time!
Definitely recommend a visit to The Kings Arms for dinner just a short walk away. Staff were lovely and the food was amazing - something different. We also took a little walk to the campsite next door for some breakfast rolls one morning.
It was nice to have so many options for places to visit nearby (driving distance) - Saunton Sands, Croyde, Woolacombe, Ilfracombe. We had a lovely walk from Lee Bay to Bull Point Lighthouse stopping at Sandy Cove on the way. Just the right amount to see and do for our 4 night stay. The lodge was perfect for what we wanted and we'd recommend to friends and family looking for a slow, laid-back getaway with the dog.

Amazing stay with our doggo
This was such an amazing home away from home stay for my husband and I with our doggo. It was perfect for everything we needed and the value for money was superb!
From the minute we arrived I was impressed with the lodge and how clean and well presented it was. Genuinely cannot think of any faults!
The garden for our dog to run around on was perfect. The shelter for the decking was great because it did rain whilst we were there! The hot tub was lovely and the temperature was perfect.
The treats and towel for the dog was a great addition as well as the Prosecco in the fridge!
The kitchen had everything you would need for your stay even down to the salt and pepper. The milk being there on arrival was handy as it was enough to last us the trip for the coffees.
The bed was big and comfortable. Lots of wardrobe and drawer space for belongings. The bathroom was lovely and big! Shower was fab and great after a cold walk. The heating was really good too.
We tried the King’s arms for dinner which was lovely food. Top end pub food that’s for sure. Staff all really lovely too. It was super close and convenient to the lodge. I would maybe suggest putting some lights up leading up to the lodge as it was dark walking back from the pub.
We didn’t need anything whilst we were there so had no contact with the owner but everything was clear before we got there!
Lots of space for parking so no problems there. Apart from a few minor suggestions (not criticisms), I cannot fault this lodge. It ticked off everything we wanted out of our stay in Devon and I’m so glad we found it. It felt like the design had been so carefully thought of and designed so well!
The walk to woolacombe was lovely and other walks were a short drive away. Highly recommend Saunton sands and doing the beach as well as the green space behind the beach! We also loved heddon’s mouth walk even though that was a bit further out. It was nice to have a change from the beach.
Thank you so much for a lovely stay we would definitely book again!
