While the location is lovely and the views incredible, the lodge itself was terribly filthy. The smell of mould and damp upon entering was entirely off-putting. Thick cobwebs on the bedframe, alongside cupboards, drawers and in top corners, and the bathroom ceiling had dead tiny flies stuck to it within the shower cubicle. The WiFi does not work either.
Our party had booked two lodges and the other lodge was inaccessible - they moved our party on the day of arrival with no prior warning, so the first hour upon arrival was stressful and confusing. 

Lovely Area but Filthy Lodge

This place is absolutely filthy.  I always check the mattress wherever I stay.  OMG It was vile, not only are the beds and bedding so old that all you can smell is mould and other people's body oder but when I removed the sheet the mattress cover was covered in mould, stains,hair and god knows what.  We were moved to another cabin the next day, that was just as bad. My daughter could smell mould and urine in her bed and all I could smell was the strong smell of BO.
The bathroom is terrible,  the toilet seat is so old and badly stained with urine that the plastic coating is blistered with permanent stains. The shower trap is full of black gunge and hair, dust throughout the whole place, even the kitchen bin is filthy. 
The Internet is practically useless.
The one washing machine is in constant use by the owner, washing bedding but no sight or smell of soap powder. 🤔 
No play area,  it's in the village. 
Overall the most unhygienic, dirtiest place I've ever stayed .

Terrible,  the beds are rotten and filthy.   The whole place is just neglected and dirty.

I think all the 5 star reviews are wrote by the owners, the only good thing is the views from the lodge overlooking the valley, the lodges need serious modernising, it needs a deep clean, the cooker hood was filthy, mold all around the shower, we went and brought mold spray, the sofa wasent that great, 3 bed sheets to each bed, the top sheet was clean but the bottom 2 sheets had a lot of grit-dirt - hair on them, also not sure about electric regs but they were last pat tested 10 years ago, definitely would not stay ago, only 4 out of the 10 lodges being used, you would think it would be fully booked, wonder why 

Book elsewhere 

More such places.  We got there later than we wanted, but we were greeted by a beautiful view.  What I really liked is that the key is at the cottage in a special box.  You get the right code in the email and that's it.  We slept great.  Drinks and food for breakfast in the fridge.  By 7:00 in the morning, everyone is up.  Coffee on the terrace in the morning and even more beautiful views.  In the morning the owner came to introduce himself and leave his number in case of questions.  The place is beautiful, place for BBQ, parking place.  A dream place for everyone.  A place for families with children and dogs.  Access to the beach is only 7 minutes by car and about 1 hour on foot.  Worth the walk to the beach.  You can really relax.  Even meet a hedgehog. 
We will definitely come back.  I felt like in Poland, in a place where I spent my childhood.  I recommend.  Peace and quiet.

Beautiful place for everyone.

The lodges were beautiful with an amazing view. The lodge was spotless upon arrival. Was a very enjoyable stay, not to mention, we were greeted by a very lovely bottle of Prosecco. Will definitely be returning :)

Amazing view

Had an amazing stay! The lodges are set in beautiful surroundings. They are lovely lodges set in lush quiet scenery and we felt thoroughly looked after by the helpful staff who checked in on us when we arrived. I thoroughly recommend staying here 😍

Amazing selfcatering lodges in North Devon

This cabin was for 2 people. We knew before it had steps going up to the cabin. The steps are not flat and a bit difficult to manage. The cabin itself had a kingsize bed with small wardrobe, table with 2 chairs, a sofa and nest of two tables. A kitchen with a cooker, sink, fridge with a freezer box, microwave, kettle and toaster. There are no cupboards to put food shopping in so have to  leave the bags on the floor! Two heaters in the room which can take a while to warm it up. Bathroom has a good shower toilet and sink but heated towel rail did not work. It has internet which is intermittent and a freeview tv. I would not stay there again not with no cupboard space and uneven steps. We cut our losses after 1 night and booked somewhere else in another area.

Not great

We had a lovely time staying at Saunton lodge. Very nice and comfortable, the site and the cabins are very well set out and furnished, they have tried to cater for all different types of people and I think they have done a great job. Amazing views and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Great location so didn’t have to travel far to get to attractions and beaches, supermarkets and shops are local and the pubs/restaurants are really good with great quality food. I would definitely return for another holiday thank you for a great stay

Great place

We just spent a week at the lodges at grattons
Cedar lodge .the setting is  so peaceful and we had two lodges has we took 5 dogs .they have had the best holiday woods to walk them in secs off the site and a big field to take them for a quick walk .everything is close by lots of dog friendly beaches around and the coastal walls are a must .I feel the lodge was ok but need a update but to be honest we wasn’t in them long enough .idea stay with your pooches .the local shop came in handy too .

The lodges are set in superb surroundings, at a beautiful location! 

The area, and the lodges themselves, are well looked after and I would recommend paying these guys a visit if you’re thinking of taking a break in the North Devon area!
