What a beautiful lodge ‘oak lodge’ is. No interrupted views & so peaceful. Very well equipped with everything you need. We were met by our friendly host Paul on our check in who was full of welcomed information regarding lodge & area. Myself & my husband had a fantastic 5 days visiting Devon. We would definitely stay again as so well situated .

Really enjoyed the stay at “Oak Lodge”. The house has pretty much everything you want in hand, only thing that would make the kitchen better is a Coffee pod machine. The beds are comfortable and the views are great. All in all very happy

Lovely stay
Last minute booking which went with a hitch. Lodge was perfect for our family and well equipped. My 1 year loved the chickens and sheep wanting to go and see them at any point she coukd. Lovely location and only 15 mins to Exmouth and Sidmouth. Thank you to Paul and Anna for having us. All the best. Hope to see you soon.

Top holiday!
a beautiful house and beautiful surroundings to have a great holiday. The house is equipped with everything you need. There was a beautiful bunch of sunflowers on arrival and everything was ready for a nice cup of coffee or tea. Beds were already made and the house was super clean. A lovely quiet holiday spot. Paul, Ann and their daughter are very friendly and will do anything for you. They also give good tips for nice excursions. Nothing is too much, very sweet, helpful people. A nice place to come back again!

Short Escape
These lodges are ideally situated to get away from it all, which was just what we needed. Beautiful setting, complete with daily visits from the chickens. Perfectly located to explore all the south Devon coast has to offer, but situated high up near heathland with stunning views of the estuary and the rolling hills. The lodge had everything we needed and after a warm welcome, Paul and Anna left us alone to explore, with a phone number should we want help or advice. Thank you very much. It was everything we hoped.

Idyllic base for a fun-filled family holiday!
Gorgeous design, extremely clean and well set up with everything we could have hoped for......including a welcome bottle of Prosecco and a game of digital Monopoloy! Superb host who not only checked we had everything we needed at the house but provided outstanding recommendations for our daily excursions. We absolutely loved our staff and would recommend highly. We were a family of five with 3 kids between 10-12 but would equally recommend to grandparents wanting a quiet but beautiful place to explore a fabulous part of the country. Thank you!

Thoroughly enjoyable break
The holiday home has been furnished to an exceptionally high standard and was very comfortable for a family of 4 adults. It stands in a tranquil setting looking out across open pastureland. The property is very well-equipped and every fine detail had been thought of to make this a superb place to stay. We would love to return soon.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Anna Slade

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Paul. My wife Anna and I have lived in the area for 25 years and have 3 teenage children. Having both been born in Devon, we have enjoyed the wonderful countryside the area has to offer, which inspired us to keep sheep, chickens and ducks. Both Anna and I have horticultural backgrounds, being a landscape gardener and florist by trade. We have designed and built a number of properties including cider barn, coach house, school and more recently an oak framed log cabin which we now live in. This then inspired us to build a south facing, cedar clad, glass fronted lodge which has spectacular views, making full use of the sun. So come and join us for a wonderful holiday in this unique location – you will never want to leave!

Why they chose this property

The property is surrounded by mature trees and is adjoining Woodbury Commons. This allows us to take lovely long walks over the heathland where nightingales and the Dartford worblers can be seen.

We are centrally located which makes it easy to reach the sea at Budliegh Salterton and Exmouth as well as Sidmouth, and only 10 minutes to Exeter.

There are wonderful views of Dartmoor and Exeter which can be seen from the lodge. The site enjoys sunshine all day long as it is south facing and very sheltered. The site is quiet and removed from the

What makes this property unique

The property is quiet, private and secure. We have 7 acres of land and keep sheep, ducks and chickens. We can sit peacefully beside our wildlife pond which is home to ducks, coots, dragonflies and danselflies, as well as carp and tench.

With so much available locally such as pubs, farm shops, the beach and other tourist attractions, we can offer a place to escape either after a busy day or just relaxing in the front garden soaking up the sun.
