The photographs on the website are out of date e.g. the living area is not at all like the pictures, furniture worn and hidden with throws. Decking areas are patched worked new and old. I actually put my foot thru a rotten board, fortunately was not hurt. there is no longer a view over nearest fields from the pool or lodge. Better maintenance and TLC is required. The pool was only used once as did not feel it was safe due to being dirty and brown stains on the bottom and sides of the pool. Kitchen utensils need upgrading. Door handles loose, twin bedroom bathroom handle came off in my hand. Also outdoor furniture around pool dirty and wooden furniture rotten in some parts. The location and views are nice and convenient for exploring. However, I was truly disappointed with our stay and upset that the money we paid for a luxury lodge and pool was completely misleading. I am sorry I have,had to leave,a poor review but it feels the owners have just neglected the property for a long time. I feel for those who have already booked because they will also feel the disappointment we felt during our stay.

Some photographs on the website are out of date e.g. there is no longer a view over nearest fields from the pool or lodge due to high laurel hedges. Better maintenance would helpful e.g. some wooden doors stick; there was a broken blind mechanism; some lights flickered on and off in the bedroom/bathroom by the front door; oven door doesn’t close fully and the two frying pans and baking trays need replacing. However, the location is convenient for access to SW. Devon attractions and pool itself was really nice - we used it every day and the beds were comfortable.
