As you wind your way along the private drive through pretty woodland, keep your eyes peeled for peregrine falcons, red deer, foxes and badgers – dawn or dusk are a great time to see them.

Golf courses can be found in Tiverton and Minehead and there are many fantastic beaches on the north coast. The charming village of Dulverton is less than four miles away with a range of shops, pubs and restaurants.

This one level accommodation offers traditional country living with all the essential equipment for a comfortable holiday. Enter into the open-plan lounge/diner, which offers a spacious area with sofas, TV/DVD, games, hi-fi and dining table with chairs to seat you all at dinnertime. This leads on to the kitchen, which is complete with a electric oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher. There are two bedrooms, one double room and one bunk bedroom with an additional single bed. There is also a bathroom with shower over bath and WC. Outside you will find a large veranda with seating – the perfect spot to enjoy those well-deserved evening drinks overlooking the private garden and floodlit pond. The grounds offer plenty to be discovered and activities such as fly fishing and canoeing close by - you are welcome to bring your own equipment or this can be hired from the owners.

This was our second time staying here. It was lovely to step away from the busy world and rest in the cosy cabin. Surrounded by woodland to explore, and wildlife to watch we didn't need to go out. Both the kids, dog and adults were happy.

We enjoyed a lovely, relaxing Easter break here amidst beautiful surroundings in this comfortable, characterful cabin. Limited wi-fi, TV etc. only adds to the sense of getting away from it all. A welcoming pub with good food (The Anchor, Exebridge) and two lovely villages (Bampton and Dulverton) are nearby. A previous reviewer advised taking a hairRead moredryer if you need one, which we did! Would definitely book to stay again at wonderful Wonham Waters! Hide

I loved it here. Me and my little dog. Richard the host was fantastic and really helpful but not at all intrusive. The woods the lodge are in are fabulous for just tramping around. And Rich had great suggestions for local walks and his local knowledge saved money on car parking that can later be spent on lunch The lodge whilst not fancy was very cRead moreomfortable and had everything you could need. For me this was a perfect spot. I had a wonderful time. Thanks Hide

wonderful, relaxing and comfortable stay with excellent views from the windows of nature all around you. Luckily brought a long lead as my dog would have been in the pond daily and needing a bath daily as this area isn't closed off and easily accessible. Also found a field across the road from The Anchor Inn to take the dog for a nice run with the Read moreriver next to it for a swim. Rich was super helpful and we visited all suggested sites. already recommended to family and friends! Hide

We found the property easily. Good location for teenage boy who likes outside life. Owner was very friendly and helpful in making our stay so enjoyable. He gave many places of interest to visit and locations for places to eat. It was also ideal for the first holiday taking a two year old Labrador dog who enjoyed the space to roam. Being so close toRead more nature made it quite remarkable. Hide

A lovely peaceful stay, great cabin and the only noise was occasional traffic and the sound of nature doing its thing. Our dog loved the surrounding woodland area, it gave him plenty to explore (watch out for ticks if your dog explores the undergrowth) and the beach at Saunton sands was spectacular and only a short drive away.

Location is great, a little tight on the access. If you want to get away from it all then this is the place. The two villages are really good, Dulverton is like going back in time. Richard the owner is always happy the help.

If you are looking for a wild escape, a quiet place and being in the middle of the nature this is a good place to stay. Don't count on the WiFi. Perfect location for dogs owners. The lodge is cosy, has almost everything that you need (no washing machine, no hair dryer)
