    A wonderfully welcoming holiday let, clean, comfortable and cosy.

  • "We had a lovely week at Cherry Tree Lodge."

    It was so lovely and peaceful and inside the lodge we had everything we needed. Pity the weather was not to kind to us but we still were out every day as it is very close to many beautiful holiday spots. Do not miss the Sunday lunch at The New Inn which is very close to you but do book early. PS do not leave your tooth brush turned on all day as i am sure Naomi will let you know what happened. Many Thanks again for a wonderful week.......

    Close to A35 for easy access to the coast or further afield. Lovely farm shop two doors down with a good selection of quality groceries and a nice café.

  • "Outstanding !"

    Extremely well presented accommodation, spotlessly clean and with everything you would need for a warm and comfortable stay. In a very quiet village and a farm shop very close but without any noise at all. Excellent location with good road links to explore everything the area has to offer. Naomi came to greet us within an hour of our arrival to answer any questions we may have had, very friendly but unobtrusive and made us very welcome and told us to contact her if we needed to know anything regarding the area. Will definitely return to Cherry Tree Lodge at earliest opportunity.

    The lodge is beautifully done, well maintained and clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Naomi welcomed us when we arrived and provided a really nice welcome pack. The location is great too for exploring the Jurassic coast and south Devon, Dorset and Somerset. We thought the nearby road might be a problem, but it is far enough away for you not to notice it. We'd stay again if we visited the area.

  • "Cherry Tree Lodge was extremely clean and comfortable."

    The owner was easily contactable but not intrusive. Although the lodge adjoins the owners property it felt very private. Great location for exploring east Devon. We found the local pub, The Old Inn was well worth visiting for very good quality food, reasonably priced. We would recommend Cherry Tree Lodge for a holiday.

  • "Can’t really fault this rental."

    Owners friendly and helpful and welcoming. Location quite, rural, but not too far from main roads and larger town. Spacious parking adjacent to the rental. Spotlessly clean. Comfy sofa and bed. We’ll set-out kitchen that is a kitchen diner/ living room style, so your not segregated when cooking. Price very realistic. Not that anything needs changing, but if I could make it perfect, I’d add a washing machine, a decent footstool as the puff was too low. Rugs by the bed, so that’s it’s nicer on your feet to get out of bed. A kitchen towel would have been useful and more than 4 plates etc that would have saved me putting the dishwasher on everyday. But honestly I’d happily return with it exactly the same.

    The welcome on arrival was great, the lodge was spotlessly clean and the decor perfect, a lot of thought has been put in to make our visit special. A private area to sit out was a plus, sun loungers plus umbrella provided. A rural location but all within an easy drive to lots of beach and other places of interest.

The village of Kilmington is located in the county of Devon and is home to approximately 2,358 people. It is home to a few pubs and a shop, with its own primary School and a cricket ground. Situated within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its quaint villages and unspoilt countryside, there is so much to explore, and it's just a few miles inland of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, Kilmington is the perfect place to unwind and get back to nature.
