The lodge was exceptionally clean upon our arrival and was extremely well equipped and great value for money. A very comfortable bed made for a great nights sleep. The lakes are extremely well looked after and a great place to walk around or go fishing on.

The lodge was very comfortable and very well equipped. The site was very well looked after the fishing lakes lovely although as it was warm the fish were not biting but it was relaxing anyway would definitely recommend for a quiet peaceful holiday but could feel a bit remote for some people. Lovely walks for the dog as well.

Lovely quiet environment to be amongst. The lakes are beautiful and the woodland walks on the evening are really nice. Be prepared to travel a short while to get to amenities. But Legge farm lodges are idilyc and well worth being totally away from traffic and hustle and bustle of every day life.

We had an amazing time at Legge Farm Devon. The coarse fishery is superb, with well-stocked lakes that provided exciting, peaceful fishing in a beautiful countryside setting. The Lakes are perfect for both seasoned anglers and casual fishers looking to relax. The lodge accommodation was spotless, spacious, and really well-equipped everything weRead more needed for a comfortable stay. You can tell a lot of care has gone into making guests feel at home. What truly made the experience stand out were the friendly and welcoming owners. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were always happy to offer tips or just have a friendly chat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful fishing getaway with top-notch hospitality. Well definitely be back! Hide

Really lovely quiet location, we didn't stay here to fish, however we still loved our stay. Tracey the owner is extremely welcoming and everyone we spoke to around the place was the same. We stayed in herons lodge and it had everything you need for a few days away in the country side. A mix of holiday lodges and privately owned dotted around and thRead moreere are more plots scattered ready for more lodges to be built. There are a few trails to go walking through the woods which we fully utilised with our two dogs, although couldn't go too far with my heavily pregnant wife. All in all a really lovely relaxing weekend and we would happily return again in the future. Hide
