Very enjoyable holiday. Bailey Lodge was situated in peaceful, scenic countryside with lovely views of the hills. The lodge was most comfortable to stay in and beautifully designed.

The bus stops are literally outside the lodge on either side of the road. The buses are prompt but do only run hourly in the winter months. We walked down to Barnstaple most days and got a taxi back up the hill. We got buses into Ilfracombe, Lynton and Appledore. We didn't have to use our car at all whilst we were there and as freedom pass holders Read morethis was a bonus. It's a bit of a walk downhill so could be problematic if you aren't fit and healthy.

Perhaps more work to tidy up bit of land in front of Bailey Lodge, either more grass or more attractive shrubs.

Bailey Lodge is beautifully equipped, excellent bedding and mattresses, especially the cotton in twin room. Everything we could want was provided and particularly grateful for non-slip shower mat. We highly recommend this lodge for a short stay (we did 4 nights) but I'd also love a fortnight of the peace and quiet. Perfect
