"Wonderful holiday at Nelli lodge."
Nothing too much trouble for our hosts Elizabeth and Neil.
-
"We loved the property and would go back in the future as it was exactly what we wanted from the break."
We have come home completely relaxed and re-energised. We will be recommending this property to our friends and family. One thing I would change would be the height of the bed and a firmer mattress like we have at home, but this didn't detract any experiences we had during our break.
So pleased you had a lovely stay. Thank you for the feedback. Property Owner

"This was our second stay at Nelli Lodge."
The first stay was in February when the weather was cold and crisp and the second in a very hot September! We were so pleased to experience both, as the fire was perfect for feb and the garden was lovely in the sunshine. The hot tub was useable in both conditions. You have everything you need here, the hosts are very welcoming and easily contactable should you need anything but otherwise let you get on with your stay and you don’t see them. There was lovely little finishing touches like fresh scones, jam and cream. A toy and playmat was even provided for our little one, as well as high chair and cot. They have an egg shed next to their house with fresh chicken eggs available. The lodge is a short walk into the village which is really sweet and a small community. All the cottages look lovely and the village is really nicely looked after. We paid a trip to the ring of bells pub which only took us 25mins to walk to. This is one of the recommended pubs, we didn’t know what to expect but it was nice and cosy, a traditional style pub but if you are looking for proper pub grub this would not be the place, the food here is restaurant standard and more gourmet than your typical pie and mash. The half moon inn has a really nice beer garden which we recommend you check out if the weather is nice! And the fisherman’s cot pub is more of your typical pub grub food and is located on a stream which is really cool to sit by the window and enjoy watching the water flow by. All in all, this staycation is 10/10!
Hi thank you so much for the great feedback and the local pub reviews, glad you got to try a few of them. Property Owner

"The hosts were there to show us round."
Lovely scones and cream on arrival. The location and setting were exactly what we were expecting and provided a secluded and tranquil time away. The hosts recommended the ring of bells pub for dinner. A 30 min walk and this was amazing for food too.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. So pleased you had a peaceful time away. The Ring of Bells is one of our favourites! Property Owner

"Outstanding!"
A great little hideaway, on arrival, after a hectic journey, greeted with a big friendly smile from Neil, who showed us around, and how to use the hot tub (Bonus). Freshly made scones with cream and jam awaited us. Great for our dog, as fenced off so no night time visits to the chickens. One issue we had, we have an electric car, its not the best place to take one of them, we had to drive 8-10 miles to get to a charge point, not able to charge at lodge. Not to much of a hassle, but just a heads up for other guests. We are planning a return already. Thanks guys.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and pleased you’re considering coming back. Property Owner

"What a property!"
Our hosts were so kind and welcoming in introducing us to Nelli Lodge. The pictures don't do the lodge justice. We only managed to spend a long weekend here but both of us fell in love immediately and we're already planning our return visit. Its peaceful, beautiful and has everything you could ever need. Surrounding area is stunning. Memories to last a lifetime. Thank you!
Hi Joe, Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. Glad you enjoyed your weekend. Property Owner

"What better way to start the day than waking to idyllic countryside views and a rainbow on the horizon."
Followed by delicious jam and clotted cream Devonshire scones for an afternoon treat and a dip in the hot tub. Nelli Lodge is the perfect get away in a peaceful spot and the hosts are incredibly accommodating.
Thank you for the lovely feedback, so pleased you liked the views and the hot tub. Property Owner

"Fantastic holiday and such a beautiful and well presented property, with superb views!"
! Hot tub was super and we felt very welcomed on arrival. Would highly recommend! Thank you! We maximised our stay in Devon with lots to see and do. The only disappointment was that despite being surrounded by beautiful fields/views there was no immediate access for dog walking. We have an 11 and a half year old chocolate Labrador and the lanes by the property are very narrow and hilly with quite a few vehicles (not always slow!) and so not ideal for him. Practical additions - a shelf in the shower would be useful as well as a clock on the wall would be helpful too
So pleased you had a lovely stay, and thank you for the recommendations. Property Owner

"Absolutely stunning views and the lodge was just as discribed."
Pictures are correct and it was soooo cosy bliss, everything you could wish for including clotted cream scones on arrival. The owners were very helpful nothing was too much trouble especially when we got lost! Didn’t want to leave very rural 4 days wasnt long enough

"Neil and Elizabeth were the perfect hosts, when arriving they recommended local places to eat supermarkets etc,."
They let us know they were on hand if we needed anything which was lovely other then that they left us to enjoy our stay :) We absolutely loved our stay here at Nelli lodge. We have stayed in a couple of lodges and this is easily the best one we have stayed in, in terms of how spacious it is for a lodge, the facilities and the high standard the lodge has been done. The place was immaculate has amazing views with allocated parking at the side of the lodge. The garden is secure for doggies too. The local pub does amazing food. The hot tub is perfect for soaking in after a day of exploring the beautiful spots of Devon. Would highly recommend would definitely return. Eoin Jade &Gigi

"Nelli Lodge is a hidden treasure."
It’s the perfect location for exploring so many wonderful places. The lodge has been very well thought out and every little detail thought about…we even had scones to welcome us on arrival! The views are just incredible.. a real treat to wake up to and come back to each day. This really is a perfect little holiday haven and a credit to the lovely owners. We had a wonderful time and will not hesitate to book again.

"Great place to stay, only recommendations from me to improve would be 1."
to have a shelf on the wall inside the shower to place your toiletries etc ( had to put them on the floor) 2. A cupboard next to the sink, to put your toilet/ make up bags on ( again had to place on the floor) 3. Drawers in the bedroom so you can place your case on top of them ( instead of on the floor) only minor details . Would definitely stay again thankyou

"Absolutely amazing property."
Very peaceful and quiet, and the property has been done to a really high standard. Very well equipped. Lots of lovely nice touches like having the hot tub ready for use when we arrived, and a scone, jam and cream waiting for us. Location is a great base for getting around this part of Devon, but is delightfully secluded and quiet at the same time. The lodge is comfy and lovely and warm. Fantastic views. Nothing negative to say at all
Thank you for the lovely feedback Phil. So pleased you had a nice time. Property Owner

"Absolutely loved every minute of our stay at Nelli Lodge!"
! Upon arrival we were greeted by Elizabeth and Neil, (2 of the nicest people you could ever meet) and the hot tub was ready for us to jump straight in. The Lodge itself is just gorgeous!! Very clean and it smelt amazing. We wanted for nothing, Elizabeth and Neil have thought of everything. And being dog friendly is a massive bonus. The views are just breathtaking and it's very quiet and peaceful there. The pictures do it no justice at all. It is absolutely stunning. We highly recommend Nelli Lodge 100% to everyone. We are definitely going back next year and cannot wait!! Thank you both so much for your hospitality, see you next year.

"Nelli Lodge is an amazing rural retreat."
Perfect place to relax and unwind. The hosts, Elizabeth & Neil, were a joy and easy to communicate with. Nothing was too much trouble, and they provided a whole array of perfect little touches that made our stay just awesome. The accommodation was immaculately presented and had everything we needed. The Hot tub, the views, and the tranquility was glorious. Can't recommend it highly enough. Will definitely return!!

"If you are looking for a complete getaway this is your place."
The lodge is immaculate , cosy and comfortable. The garden is perfectly rustic and secure. The hot tub a luxurious bonus and easy to stoke up and get going. The mile long lane down to the lodge needs careful manipulating; much trickier in the dark so make sure you have all the snacks and supplies you’ll need before heading to the lodge. The area of Cheriton Fitzpaine is lost in time; very quaint and very quiet. The walk to Thornes Farm Shop for a lovely breakfast took 40 mins each way; great care was taken on the walk due to no footpath. A lovely stay
Hi Kerry, thank you for the lovely feedback about the lodge. Property Owner

"A fantastic couple of days away in Nelli Lodge."

"Nelli Lodge was amazing."
Such a beautiful little place with all the amenities you would need for a holiday. Our hosts, Elizabeth and Neil were fantastic; they went above and beyond to make our holiday the best it could be. The wood-fired hot tub was beautiful on a starry night, and the inside of the lodge was cosy and modern. Would absolutely stay here again, thanks so much for a lovely stay.

I dont know where to start, the property out in the sticks is marvellous, the view from there it outstanding, everything that you need is there, plus parking, central yo all the sites we visited, the owners Neil snd Elizabeth are first class, greet on arrival, we had the hot tub fired for when we arrived that was great, to have a soak after long journey, anything needed just get in touch, they are the tops, would definitely recommend it, and go back just loved it, and got used to the narrow lanes to get to property, easy just drive slow, worth every penny
Hi Helen, thank you so much for the lovely feedback. You were wonderful guests! Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our recent stay at Nelli Lodge."
The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed and was spotlessly clean (and the linen smelt amazing!) The location and views were beautiful and so peaceful.

"Can only give Nelli Lodge full marks!"
The owners have thought of everything to make our stay extremely comfortable- the place was spotlessly clean and everything smelt lovely- bedding, blankets, dressing gowns etc. the owners are there if you need anything and are extremely helpful but you do have complete privacy. We had booked a roast dinner at The Ring of Bells, a beautiful pub 5 mins away - due to circumstances we couldn’t make the reservation but was able to ask for it as a takeaway- would highly recommend the meal. If you’re looking for peace and comfort with beautiful views then look no further. Would love to return.
