We had a fabulous stay at Brook Lodge! Set in an extremely quiet location, we were able to unwind and relax listening to bird song and a trickling brook. We used the lodge as a base to explore the local area by visiting castles, waterfalls, beaches and forest walks. The lodge itself had everything we needed during our stay and was extremely comfortable. A fully equipped kitchen and dining area, comfy lounge seating and outside seating with fantastic views of Dartmoor.A beautiful place to stay and definitely recommended!
