"Wonderful lodge, we liked the site and location was great for us."
The beds are amazing never slept so well. What wasn't what we expected An extremely limited amount of things that we have always had in other stays. These were Everyday things with clean film, tin foil, sauce, tea bags, sugar, proper salt pepper vinegar. A lamp for the lounge as the lights are so bright. An airfryer would these days be great and would save electric. And a radio would had been nice. We listened through the TV. The WiFi was amazing. Not working in lodge Radiator in bathroom. I would love to return in the summer with the Wonderful views and swimming pool. Thanks In all
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time staying at lodge. We don't provide the items you mentioned due to it being self-catering accommodation, but more importantly we aware of people's allergies. We do hope to be welcoming you back in the summer Property Owner

"Overall excellent stay very good facilities, very good location."
Overall very happy with stay. Just a few minor issues which would improve the experience. Shower shelf in en-suite. BBQ have not been cleaned so was not useable The general appearance of the sofas could have been more presentable. Main bedroom - bed was of small size for a standard double.

"An excellent chalet, we had a bad experience with the last one we rented being cold, but Alder Lodge is warm and comfortable, well insulated with good heating."
Everything works well and is fitted out to a good standard. There are great views all around and good access from the approach roads. The site managers Andrew and Clare were helpful, it's a well-run site. The location is ideal with good access to the coastal areas and also to Dartmoor. We look forward to staying there again in future.
Thank you Clive you’re more than welcome to come back anytime pleasure to welcome you thank you for your positive review. Best regards Clare & Andrew. Property Owner

"Fabulous lodge in a beautiful quiet setting with lovely views."
The lodge was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The play area is great for kids and is right next to the lodge. We really appreciated the extra touch of a box of fresh eggs and some home made cakes. We would definitely stay again.

"The location and lodge were spot on."
We could not have chose a better place for our week away. The weather was kind to us and the view from our lodge over Dartmoor was amazing. Although it was a cold time of year the lodge was extremely well insulated and cozy. Looking forward to booking again in the future.

"February break: Excellent accommodation in a lovely location that is no more than 30min drive to rest of the beautiful English Rivera locations such as Torquay, Brixham."
Very kind that fresh eggs and homemade cupcakes were there on arrival. We continued to buy their fresh chicken eggs for our stay. Accommodation was clean and ready for our stay. Central heating also kept us lovely and warm and the kitchen is well stocked. Our daughter also loved the park area and watching horses be lead out to the feild daily. Only thing it lists is furniture and bbq on the decking area which wasn’t there for our stay, I assume this is due to the time of year. However we had a few fresh Sunny Spring like days and would have happily sat out for a bit or even cooked on the bbq. Overall would recommend to everyone. Lovely site and friendly staff. We hope to return.
Aww what a shame we were caught out with the weather being so nice if you had said we could of got the furniture we do pack it away in the winter months sorry. Property Owner

The pictures are so accurate as to the quality of the accommodation and we had absolutely no complaints at all other than our holiday was just not long enough to do all we wanted. Already looking at when we can return to Twelve Oaks and stay in Alder Lodge!

"We have had a fantastic week in Alder Lodge."
We wish we could have stayed another week. The site is lovely and all the people working there were very friendly and helpful. The lodge is spacious and well equipped with a really nice balcony/terrace. There are walks directly from the site and it is in a great location to explore further afield in all directions.
Thank you pleased you enjoyed what we offer more than welcome to visit again. Best regards, Team Twelve Oaks. Property Owner

"The quality of this lodge is superb and it was very clean."
The views are also lovely as were the chocolate muffins. The WiFi wasn't working when we arrived but this was put right very quickly and we had no problems using this during our stay. However there are hookups for caravans right outside the lodge and this would seriously impact both the views and the privacy of the lodge if there were caravans there - we went off season so they were empty when we were there. And just a couple of small points - it would be nice to have soap in both bathrooms on arrival, perhaps provide 5 dishwasher tablets instead of 2 and provide a couple of tablets for the washing machine? However we would happily return to this lodge
Thank you for your feedback, which we always welcome. We have never had any complaints about the hook ups outside the property with or without a caravan present. We do include liquid soap for the bathrooms which is included in our welcome pack which we feel is a suitable gesture for a self catering property. We look forward to welcoming you back.

"We had a quiet relaxing holiday staying in Alder Lodge."
We were instantly made welcome by the owners. The sight is kept very clean and well kept. Thoughtful welcome pack greeted us , (delicious cakes.) Nice not to hear traffic going by just the birds and an accasionly mooing from the cows. Would definitely go back.

"First time staying in a lodge we usually book cottages we were extremely happy that we had a change this time the lodge was modern a light spacious open plan living area made the lodge,a great view from the large enclosed dog safe balcony."
We were two adults and one dog would be lovely for a small family too. We would book again in November as really quiet and a great central location to travel the area.

"The property was a joy to stay in."
It was very clean and had everything that anyone would need. The site was laid out well and very practical. The lodges were positioned well enough apart as not to be too invasive from other people. Overall we had an enjoyable week’s stay.

"Alder lodge had every thing you could wish for,for a holiday, extremely ..."
Alder lodge had every thing you could wish for,for a holiday, extremely clean,however a short way away from the front of the lodge there are electric hook ups for tents,I like the previous holiday maker would not be pleased to have a tent in front of the lodge,making a noise late at night,no were in the advert for lodge does it say about the electric hook ups for tents,and you can't see any in the photo of the lodge,bit sly in my opinion,I wouldn't book the place again,which is a shame as the lodge itself is lovely
-
"Lovely quiet site with glorious views from the Lodges."
Very comfortable lodge with all mod cons. Beds are never quite as comfortable as home but fine. Nice little shop with their own meat which was great. Good BBQ on our own patio. 2 really lovely evenings with those great views. Unfortunately the cafe on the site was closed as the chef had left. That was a shame but not the site fault. Would have just been the icing on the cake. Perhaps next time.

"Alder Lodge was lovely."
On arrival there was fresh milk / eggs four homemade cupcakes and treats for our dog. This was such a lovely gesture and appreciated thank you A couple if points for future reference. The double mattress in the main bedroom was extremely uncomfortable there were springs digging in our backs etc. We did point this out to the site owners who gave us two duvets to put on top of the mattress. Slightly helped, however we would only book this lodge again if the mattress was changed to a new/decent quality mattress. The lodge itself was clean, However the outside was dirty and full of cobwebs (I spent 30 minutes or so, going round the whole of the outside lodge sweeping the cobwebs/dirt etc from the windows/seating area/round the lights/railings. Some cushions on the sofas would have been nice.
Thank you for your feedback, we have spoken to the owners and they are looking into replacing the mattresses in the cottage and hope they will be able to action this soon. we are glad to hear you had a nice stay otherwise. Property Owner

"Loves the property, its facilities and location."

The lodge was spotless and was very comfortable On arrival we had been left 6 fresh eggs , cakes and milk which was very appreciated The site is ideally situated close to all attractions and places of interest We had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday

"Alder Lodge is extremely comfortable."
The views from the Lodge were lovely; the atmosphere in the campsite calm and peaceful. The owners of the Farm were exceptionally helpful and friendly. We couldn't have been more pleased with the whole week.
-
"Easy and informative booking procedure."
Arrived at the lodge and received a very warm welcome from the staff. We entered the lodge which was warm and spotlessly clean. Furnishings were lovely and of very good quality. There was everything you would need to be able to enjoy your break. We were also left some free-range eggs which were delicious and a bottle of milk alongside tea, coffee and sugar which was very welcome after a long journey. The site was peaceful and well maintained and I would imagine it to be a fabulous place to be in the height of the season with the great facilities it has. I would most definitely recommend anyone to try this holiday lodge and I would most definitely make a return visit sometime in the future. Thanks for a great week!
