Lovely setting, very peaceful and quiet and very responsive hosts. Lodge is lovely, good space, big bathroom. Also, although the lodges are dog friendly we didn't notice any dog smell which is always a good sign. Phone connection is not great but wifi is good, so we ended up doing mostly whatsapp calls where required. It does get hot inside the lodges when the sun shines, there is a very small fan provided but if coming in summer we would suggest bringing your own as you'll need a powerful one if you get a nice sunny day. An iron is provided. We would suggest bringing shower gel, aluminium foil, cooking oil and bin bags. Overall would stay again.

We could not fault our stay at Thistledown Lodge, March End.
A lovely quiet location, immaculately clean and well equipped, with a thoughtful welcome bottle of Prosecco and treats for the dog!
The bed was super comfy and we enjoyed using the hot tub and outside space. Which was secure for our dog so she could enjoy the garden too!
We also enjoyed the fact we could walk to two excellent local pubs for food and enjoyed a great walk to Putsborough on one of our days.
Highly recommend and we will be back.

Didn’t start well as the post code did not match the true location as the address was a mix of March Lodges and Braunton. So we were not in the best frame of mind. The lodge is great and as described in every way. Put it even nearer the coast and you’ve got 6 stars!
As for Luxury Coadtal as an an agent it gave wrong address and tells you it’s a 4pm check after you have paid deposit. Not great. If you can book it direct then bypass these people.

Can’t fault anything! It was clean, comfortable, high quality and bonus of excellent location! One tip don’t follow sat nav in… drive via Croyde road, far less stressful if not used to country lanes. Amazing break, didn’t want to leave! Well worth a visit!

The Thistledown lodge is a lovely place to have a quiet break away from hustle and bustle. It is clean and comfortable and had a secluded hot tub on the decking at the back. You can walk to the village of Georgeham where there are two pubs if you want to eat out, although there are no pavements so you need to watch out for cars. You can also walk to Putsborough beach in about 40 minutes. It was a nice touch that we were given Prosecco and fresh milk on arrival. However there was no shower gel or shampoo or dishwasher tablets/liquid and I hadn’t packed any! Treats were provided for our dog which was also lovely. The cost was a bit steep for 3 nights but we had a nice time. Thank you

The Lodge was lovely, modern, warm (we went in February) and clean. It was great to get in the hot tub! The garden area was perfect for our 2 dogs.
The location was great, short drive to Woolacombe and the two local pubs served great food and catered for me who is coeliac.
We had a small issue with the shower, but this was being resolved on the Monday.
Definitely stay again, perfect for 2 people and their dogs

We couldn't thank the owners enough for such a spectacular stay. The lodge was spotless with everything we needed to make our Christmas 2023 special. So many local areas around for the dogs. So many beaches to choose from. Would definitely recommend and return.

The lodge was clean and had everything you needed for your stay we enjoyed the hot tub and our dog loved the freedom of the fenced garden .
The location was fantastic too as we used the two local pubs less than a ten minute walk to both and also walked to puttsborough beach wich was only a 45 minute walk .
We had a fantastic time and definitely will return some day

We stayed early August 2023. The lodges are beautiful throughout from the lodge itself to the high end furnishings. The lodge contains everything you need for your getaway and are very clean throughout with a comfortable king bed, bath and shower. The kitchen is modern with an area for eating and sofa for relaxing in front of tv. The garden is large and secure for a pooch and has wonderful views overlooking fields while you relax in the hot tub provided. There are two pubs in walking distance. The Rock Inn was our fav serving great traditional pub food with lots of options. The beaches near by are beautiful. Great holiday!

We managed to bag this lovely cabin for the May half-term. The weather was stunning which helped a lot but the cabin really was a joy to be in. The bed was so comfy, the cabin had everything you needed and they even supplied milk and prosecco! We travelled with 2 miniature dachshunds who loved the garden and we loved not having to worry they would escape as it was totally secure! They even had their own welcome pack with towels, water bowls and a jar of treats. The whole cabin was surrounded by wild grasses and flowers, so pretty!
The hot tub was a lovely addition as well as the egg sofa. We didn't hear anyone come in to service the tub at all.
Although we had neighbours, we were not disturbed at all.
Brilliant base to travel around the beaches and sights of North and South Devon (Newton Abbott is about an hour away). I will say that getting to the cabin was 'interesting' if you are not used to small Devonshire roads or you have a big car... its a bit tight and twisty.
Broughton had fab takeaways and restaurants - Highly recommend Fish and Chips from Squires, Thai from The Siam Bistro (portions are per person so if you want a feast order double) and amazing firewood pizzas from Meraki Pizza Co. All have online ordering and sit-in if you want a night out.
All in all, it was a wonderful week and has set the bar even higher for our next pup holiday!

We were blown away with the lodge. Everything was high end and the hosts had thought of everything. Hot tub was very private and overlooking the fields where the sun goes down. Had great weather for January and would definitely recommend. We hope to return.

We had a great weeks stay at the Thistledown lodge. The property was very clean and perfect for our arrival. The instructions/directions were clear and made for easy arrival. The lodge was perfect for us and our dog.
The lodge had everything we required for a great stay. The hot tub was perfect as well, while the dog enjoyed her time in the garden (which was fully secure for her to roam about freely)
The lodges location was a short walk to two great local pubs, which both served great food. The lodge was also a short drive to the beach. We'd reccomend Saunton Sands if you have a dog.
Overall a perfect stay with no issues.

An Oasis of calm in a crazy world!
Had a fantastic long weekend in this lovely property. The owners are really helpful and everything we needed and more was provided. Village pubs and shop are a 5 minute walk away and beaches within easy reach. Peaceful setting and looking out on the new-born lambs in the morning was a real treat.
Thoroughly recommend Thistledown
