  • "Fantastic lodge in a lovely location"

    Reviewed by Helen5.0Nov 2024

  • "Teign River Retreat far exceeded our expectations."

    The chalet was very clean and warm and was well equipped for our stay. The beds were lovely and comfy and the heating was easy to work. This is the perfect stay for those wanting to really get away from the rat race. I would have happily stayed several more days and go again. We saw a stag on our first day and narrowly missed an otter! Bring wellies for local exploration and be prepared to drive down narrow devon lanes.

  • "The property was stunning inside and out."

    peaceful. You are located in a valley right next to the river Teign . The only thing i would say is the 3 ways out of the valley are not good all tiny lanes with very limited passing places.

  • "We had a brilliant week, the lodge was so clean ."

    We loved everything ! importantly for us it had lovely sofas to relax in after a days exploring ! Everything you require is here ! the owner has really put a lot of thought into providing for every need ! It is off the beaten track , and you do have to travel to reach Civilisation! But it is well worth it ! The stunning setting , the river which you have full access to and a little sandy bit to have a paddle! , just perfect !

  • "Dear Peter, we had a wonderful time at your very lovely lodge!"

    Everything seemed to be brandnew! And we appreciated to be able to contact you, whenever we needed help. (The internet broke down because of weather conditions) Thank you for our wonderful first stay in England! For other guests: to get to the lodge might be a little tricky because of the many very steep an narrow streets, which seem to be typical for Devon and Cornwall. It is a bit of an adventure, but we liked it. Bye Esther
