Kingsford Farm Lodges

My partner & I, along with my elderly Mother have just spent a really relaxing, peaceful, comfortable 4 nights in lodge 1 nearest to the lake! We loved the quiet (no traffic noise 🤩) except for ducks quacking, the guinea fowl cackling and cows mooing which is expected for the countryside and very therapeutic! I was particularly pleased to see the kingfisher on a couple of occasions. The lodge is not new but it’s spacious, comfortable and well equipped. I can appreciate these lodges may not suit everyone due to their location and lack of facilities but for us it was just fine and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Debbie is a friendly, helpful, responsive host - thank you 😊

Pros : Peaceful. Scenic location. Wildlife. Hot tub was great. Recycling bins. Cons: Cleanliness was awful, large cobwebs. Limescale, dust everywhere, un hoovered floors, dirty crockery that I had to wash before use, dirty windows. Just aswell not advertise WiFi as it does not stay connected more than 10 seconds and you need to stand outside for it. Though we enjoyed our stay to the area I would not stay here again. I feel if customers are paying good money then a property should at least be cleaned properly. Felt like the hosts heart was not in it which is a shame as could be wonderful.

Lovely lodge, but not enough towels. Very narrow road to get to the place full of pot holes and more a dirt track to be honest. Don't come from Chudleigh direction as it's a nightmare. Not signposted very well and could do with better sign outside so you know you've arrived. Then it tells you to go to farmhouse to get the key but there are no signs to know which house it is. We spent 15 minutes knocking on doors and trying to find someone and finally an elderly lady appeared and said she'd not seen us pull up. She showed us to the lodge and asked what we'd come to do and we replied we wanted to go for walks in the countryside but she told us there weren't any and that her daughter was away so she was left in charge. She was rather rude to another couple who arrived the following day and had the same problem as us in that they couldn't see signs where to go or find anyone. On the plus side it's very peaceful but as we'd hoped to walk places it was a little disappointing. The lodge is not as high spec as others we've stayed in and a bit tired looking.

Excellent. Totally clear skies at night - not even a telegraph line to obscure the view. Do not book expecting somewhere to bring small children to be entertained. This is not a holiday park and for this reason it is PERFECT. This is not Butlins - there is no play area, bouncy castle, trampolines or other such frivolities. It is quiet, green, countryside and the ideal reset button for frazzled, burnout grownups. Ideal for quiet, relaxing adult time. No noise aside from wildlife and bubbling of private hot tub. No interruption or bothersome traffic. Comfortable lodges with everything you need to unwind and unplug. Will absolutely be back. 10/10. Only additional thing that could improve it to my mind would be a resident spare dog or cat for company and night time snuggles. Ah well - can't have everything!

This lodge is perfect !! We were in lodge 2 last week and everything about the holiday was great. The bed was better than the one we have at home .It's so quiet we had a great nights sleep every night. Theres everything you need in the lodge and our corner sofa and chair was lovely. We saw sheep,little lambs and an array of birds including ducks ,partridges and more. We had a yummy bbq on the decking and it was so peaceful. Had a little trouble with washing machine but sorted it after a while. The hot tub was amazing with lots of lights and jet sprays .Used it every day,sometimes twice a day.This place is so relaxing. We really wished we were on holiday in lodge longer. If you want a relaxing holiday stay here.

Lovely little place. Very relaxing and very quiet. The woman who runs the site is also very welcoming and friendly. I will definitely return here in the future. The WiFi can be a bit spotty but too be expected as the lodge is at the bottom of the hill but this wasn’t an issue as there were games, a puzzle and books all at the lodge.
