I had an absolutely fantastic stay in this adorable log cabin. The 3 bedrooms are incredibly comfortable, with the master boasting a lovely en-suite, and two well-appointed twin rooms. Theres plenty of storage, making it perfect for a week-long holiday. The cabin is beautifully designed, feeling both airy and spacious while still being warm and cosRead morey. The separate bathroom is perfect for a relaxing soak, and the kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped with a dishwasher.The separate utility cupboard with a washer/dryer is a great feature ideal for freshening up clothes before heading home or during a longer stay. This is my second visit and I will stay here again. Hide

This is a lovely holiday lodge, in a quiet setting. It could do with more crockery and better quality kitchen utensils but that could be said for most holiday rentals. We found lots of local walks for our dog and it was very close to Dartmoor for even more walking and stunning scenery. The local pub is ok for a meal if you dont want to cook but somRead moreetimes they close the kitchen if it is very quiet. Hide

Just had a lovely long weekend stay in Dartmoor, 2 adults, 2 kids + dog. Found it easy enough, you just have to know to turn into Betty Cottles Inn car park, it's not sign posted to Meldon Lodge. Really impressed with the lodge equipment; washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, scrubber, cleaning products, kitchen/toilet roll, hand wash, salt/pepperRead more, tin foil, hair dryer. Nice sized lodge, with a bigger hot tub for 6, clean and comfy, Meldon Reservoir close for lovely walks. Hide
