About this property

Thistledown - a lodge that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

Situated on a farm in the beautiful village of Georgeham near Braunton in North Devon, March End lodges offer luxurious accommodation in a wonderful countryside setting.
A beautifully laid out interior is complimented by floor to ceiling windows that invite the pretty countryside views in giving the space a wonderfully calming atmosphere.
The master bedroom is furnished with a king size bed providing a relaxing retreat, with a spacious modern en-suite bathroom featuring a large bath and walk-in shower.
Central to the living space is a well-equipped open-plan kitchen ideal for whipping up a fabulous meal in; and with so much excellent local produce available in the area you may be tempted to create a few locally inspired dishes.
Outside you'll discover a decked patio where a bubbling hot tub awaits. Positioned under the eaves it makes for the perfect place to laze the hours away whilst taking in the beauty of the landscape beyond.
Thistledown Lodge is pet-friendly so the four-legged members of the family get to enjoy a wonderful break too. Featuring an enclosed garden at the back of the home and just a short drive from some of the best local dog-walking beaches in Devon, this really is the idea pet-friendly home and one we're sure you'll want to return to!

Beautiful stay

This was our second time staying here and it didn’t disappoint, we had the most relaxing stay. The location is just beautiful we loved looking out and seeing the baby lambs and bunny rabbits in the morning. Very clean, presented beautifully and love the little touches with the bottle of Prosecco and milk in the fridge. Will definitely be staying again, great customer service from owners. We love it here, the most relaxing stay to switch off and relax from a busy life style.

Perfection

This is our second time staying and it was just as amazing as we remember it being 2 years ago. A perfect get away with out Labrador and so relaxing for us too. The hot tub is incredible with the views, location there’s some lovely local pubs and if you google there’s some beautiful beach walks. We came in January so it was abit cold but the under floor heating is a dream. All in all just amazing and we can’t wait to come back BUT book in advance… they fill up quickly!

Dog friendly holiday cottage

A lovely, comfortable and very well equipped holiday home with the added bonus of a hot tub and lovely countryside views. The huge bed was extremely comfortable. A fully enclosed garden makes it very safe for dogs. There are two dog friendly pubs within walking distance and Croyde with more facilities and amenities is a 5 minute car ride away. All in all, a really pleasant stay.

Great Christmas Break

We had a lovely relaxing break between Christmas and New Year. Lodge was spotlessly clean and had everything you needed. Been to a few Lodges with hot tubs and had a welcome pack on arrival including milk, bread, eggs, marmalade, and orange juice . Only had milk and a bottle of prossco which was nice thank you. Only other criticism I'd say was the 2 seater settee was too small. A recliner or slightly bigger settee would of been more comfortable at night whilst snuggling down on the evening watching the TV. Overall great stay ,great location , great views and pubs and beaches and on your doorstep. Would definitely return again.

Can’t fault anything! It was clean, comfortable, high quality and bonus of excellent location! One tip don’t follow sat nav in… drive via Croyde road, far less stressful if not used to country lanes. Amazing break, didn’t want to leave! Well worth a visit!

Excellent in all respects!

We could not fault our stay at Thistledown Lodge, March End. A lovely quiet location, immaculately clean and well equipped, with a thoughtful welcome bottle of Prosecco and treats for the dog! The bed was super comfy and we enjoyed using the hot tub and outside space. Which was secure for our dog so she could enjoy the garden too! We also enjoyed the fact we could walk to two excellent local pubs for food and enjoyed a great walk to Putsborough on one of our days. Highly recommend and we will be back.

We couldn't thank the owners enough for such a spectacular stay. The lodge was spotless with everything we needed to make our Christmas 2023 special. So many local areas around for the dogs. So many beaches to choose from. Would definitely recommend and return.

Short Stay

The Lodge was lovely, modern, warm (we went in February) and clean. It was great to get in the hot tub! The garden area was perfect for our 2 dogs. The location was great, short drive to Woolacombe and the two local pubs served great food and catered for me who is coeliac. We had a small issue with the shower, but this was being resolved on the Monday. Definitely stay again, perfect for 2 people and their dogs

The lodge was clean and had everything you needed for your stay we enjoyed the hot tub and our dog loved the freedom of the fenced garden . The location was fantastic too as we used the two local pubs less than a ten minute walk to both and also walked to puttsborough beach wich was only a 45 minute walk . We had a fantastic time and definitely will return some day Thanks

Perfect break

We were blown away with the lodge. Everything was high end and the hosts had thought of everything. Hot tub was very private and overlooking the fields where the sun goes down. Had great weather for January and would definitely recommend. We hope to return.

Lovely setting, nice lodges, responsive hosts

Lovely setting, very peaceful and quiet and very responsive hosts. Lodge is lovely, good space, big bathroom. Also, although the lodges are dog friendly we didn't notice any dog smell which is always a good sign. Phone connection is not great but wifi is good, so we ended up doing mostly whatsapp calls where required. It does get hot inside the lodges when the sun shines, there is a very small fan provided but if coming in summer we would suggest bringing your own as you'll need a powerful one if you get a nice sunny day. An iron is provided. We would suggest bringing shower gel, aluminium foil, cooking oil and bin bags. Overall would stay again.

Great lodge

Didn’t start well as the post code did not match the true location as the address was a mix of March Lodges and Braunton. So we were not in the best frame of mind. The lodge is great and as described in every way. Put it even nearer the coast and you’ve got 6 stars! As for Luxury Coadtal as an an agent it gave wrong address and tells you it’s a 4pm check after you have paid deposit. Not great. If you can book it direct then bypass these people.

Lovely Lodge close to beaches

We stayed early August 2023. The lodges are beautiful throughout from the lodge itself to the high end furnishings. The lodge contains everything you need for your getaway and are very clean throughout with a comfortable king bed, bath and shower. The kitchen is modern with an area for eating and sofa for relaxing in front of tv. The garden is large and secure for a pooch and has wonderful views overlooking fields while you relax in the hot tub provided. There are two pubs in walking distance. The Rock Inn was our fav serving great traditional pub food with lots of options. The beaches near by are beautiful. Great holiday!

North Devon get away

The Thistledown lodge is a lovely place to have a quiet break away from hustle and bustle. It is clean and comfortable and had a secluded hot tub on the decking at the back. You can walk to the village of Georgeham where there are two pubs if you want to eat out, although there are no pavements so you need to watch out for cars. You can also walk to Putsborough beach in about 40 minutes. It was a nice touch that we were given Prosecco and fresh milk on arrival. However there was no shower gel or shampoo or dishwasher tablets/liquid and I hadn’t packed any! Treats were provided for our dog which was also lovely. The cost was a bit steep for 3 nights but we had a nice time. Thank you
