Visitor Reviews of Exmoor Gate Lodges

Michelle Watson
We wanted to try a lodge holiday and chose Exmoor Gate as it seemed to tick all the boxes for us with location and accommodation. We were not disappointed at all and had a really nice time. The lodge was huge with an excellent kitchen and lovely big bed in the master bedroom. We had chosen the Exmoor Gate Lodge Plus so we also had hot tub and this really made the holiday for us.

Date of stay: 6th September 2019
I felt it was a little expensive for 2 people but I understand that it was a lodge accommodated 5 people, so was priced accordingly. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and everything kept in good working order throughout our stay. (The bathroom heater was not working on our arrival but was quickly repaired).

Recommend this holiday cottage to anyone. We are so relaxed we didn't want to come home.

Lucy, Northampton
Date of stay: 9th August 2019
We had a wonderful short break at Exmoor gate. The lodge was really clean and perfectly well equipped. Super hot tub and the location was just idyllic being right next to fields and woodland. Gary was a great, super helpful and responsive staff, nothing was too much trouble and he was full of intonation about local walks and places to eat/drink and get supplies. We loved having private use of the pool and the games room was a bonus too. We would definitely return, thanks for a great holiday.

We had a wonderful mid week break at the lodges. Exceptionaly clean and the hot tub was great. The local pub The Rock served some of the best food we have ever had. If you want to find a place to syat in Mirror water, this is it. 100/100. John and Nhu from Vietnam

Beautiful lodge in lovely location. The accommodation is of a high standard and the owners have thought of every detail. Perfect place for a quiet, relaxing break away.
Joanne
Lovely place to stay accommodation was clean very well kitted out with necessities to make for a comfortable stay. Host were amazing nothing was too much trouble. A larger area for kids to run around somewhere within the site would have been an added bonus. Scenery was lovely felt in the heart of the countryside. Hot tub area was private and not overlooked used the games room multiple times kids loved it and all very good value for money. Private pool was well worth a visit clean warm and plenty of toys for kids. would love to return for another stay.
Teresa
A lovely relaxing break away from it all
Toni
Lovely setting, the lodge was clean and everything you could need was there . It’s peaceful and full of wonderful wildlife all around. A bit too hilly for walking for me and roads around don’t have paths always. The villages near are really friendly and most shops and pubs are dog friendly.
Tracy
A great holiday, Staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was great and very central to various attractions. Surrounded by woodland and wildlife, it was very quiet and peaceful. Had a great stay and will definitely return again.
