"Enjoyable stay at what is perhaps best described as a fantastic restaurant with rooms. The restaurant overlooks the water and both dinner and breakfast were excellent. However our room was landside, with only a view of Irsha Street. Although small, the room and facilities were excellent. Fresh milk in the fridge is always much appreciated by us tea drinkers."

Broadpath, Great Field Lodges - a lodge that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for a last minute long weekend. We stayed with our 18 month old daughter for a long weekend. Was in the perfect location for commuting to woolacombe, Ilfracombe etc. Brilliant beaches nearby. We didn't bring out dog this time on our holiday but a very dog friendly lodge with a lovely garden. The garden for this lodge is very much an orchard with trees dotted around the lodge garden and natural foliage, all securely enclosed. The only thing to note with this lodge garden is that a child/ dog is not always in sight in this lodge garden so not ideal for some, but our toddler loved being chased around the trees, although we would have loved a flat open view garden so we could have sit and relaxed whilst she played but believe the other lodges may have this. A brilliant stay in a lovely location and have told all family/ friends about these lodges!"
