We live in Braunton but are staying with friends here at the Lodge. We think we live in paradise but this is the icing on the cake. We used to live and work in London. Moving here is the best thing you can ever do! If you're thinking of it just do it :-)

A fabulous fortnight at Myrtleberry. Walking from the house was invented here - many gorgeous walks in (mostly) fine weather. Loved our "regular visitors" Mosie and Bea!!

A fantastic week in this idylic sport. Walking by day and curling up in front of the woodburning stove in the evening. Myrtleberry had everthing we needed for a relaxing break.

Came to join our family who have been returning to this beautiful place for 30 years! My husband has now been able to share this peaceful and wonderful treat with our small children who have loved walks, exploring, playing and just being children! We feel calm, happy and lucky to be here.

We've had a wonderful time and seen enough deer to sink a battleship. The heating was a real treat.

Great to be back - idyllic base for our holiday. The heating is such an improvement - I remember the days of individually lit gas fires and the generator providing electricity!

Our son had a choice of a family weekend in London or a week here. He made a wise choice! Setting and hospitality fantastic.

Reluctantly another Myrtleberry holiday over. Wonderful family memories for us all to treasure. Especially exciting this year as we discovered a deer looking straight in at us from the garden!

One of the most wonderful things is the amount of stars that can be seen at night. My son travelled down from Leeds to join us and he was blown away by the setting. He is the next generation who will hold this place dear.

What an amazing location - exceeded expectations having walked past over the years and wondered "what if? ...."! Have spent most of the 3 days wondering how much our nearest and dearest would love it here.

The children loved it. It was like the famous five (or three in this case). Now planning when we can come back!!

They told us it was doggy heaven - and it is. But nobody warned us it was people heaven - but we found out. Fabulous week. Went too quickly.

Thank you for a lovely stay – it was truly magical! We had heard so much about it from our parents for so many years we thought we’d come take a look, and we were not disappointed!!
The walks are great, especially for walking off all the great food we found in many of the local pubs (Rockford Inn and Blue Ball Inn). Will definitely be back soon – hopefully with the dogs! Thanks for your great hospitality and very warm welcome.

Great to be back! Good fishing – several salmon and one sea trout. The dogs loved it and enjoyed the company of Mosie. Nice to see the improvements and love it as much as ever. We will be back!

Dear Danny, Vendela & Mosie – the sweetest dog! Thank you for another wonderful stay and everything you both do to make it so perfect. This is “As good as it gets”. Thank you for the magic!

A pleasure to use ‘The Lodge’ as our base for exploring Devon. Reminds us so much of a place we holiday in ‘The Sounds’ in New Zealand. It was great to return to each night. Relaxing listening to the river.

Thank you for letting us stay at this cosey house! I love the big garden! I love the big garden and the river. Me and my sister kept walking up and down the river – it was very cold! I like the room I got to stay in; the bed was very comfy! On the Tuesday our grandpa caught a huge salmon! Thank you and we’ll probably be back!

Echoing other comments made – ‘it’s great to be back!’ We began to have holidays at Myrtleberry when I was 12, and I was 50 last week! We have had a lovely week, have spotted the heron a few times and then drying and resting in the trees! Plenty of dippers and wagtails. Came across deer whilst walking from Countsibury. Thanks Danny and Vendela, for your hospitality and help with the ticks!

These wonderful few days brought back fabulous memories of childhood (25 years ago!) when we came every year, and I’ve enjoyed it just as much and even more this time. A wonderful restful tranquil place for a week of ‘recharge’!
Spotted the heron in the river early every morning and squirrels playing on the bridge and a group of 6 deer just up over the hill!
Can’t wait to come back to one of my favourite places ever – thank you for not changing it! “It just can’t get better than time at the Lodge!” :-)

Lovely to wake up in the morning and realise the sound of rain is really the river and the sun is out! Algy thinks it’s a dog’s haven – female company as well! Finally no mobile coverage – an absolute boon!!

What a lovely holiday. All of us enjoyed ourselves so much. The Lodge is homely and comfortable and set in the perfect location. If you need to rest, relax and get away from your busy life then this is the place!

A beautiful, restful place to stay for a holiday. The Lodge is very well thought out and comfortable and of course the surrounding area is stunning. We shall certainly recommend this place to our friends and family.

Had a wonderful stay at the Lodge. Amazing views and truly outstanding countryside.
The Lodge itself was clean, light and modern and certainly large enough to comfortably sleep six. I cannot think of any negative points – even the access [drive] was fun to navigate! …
