North Devon hospitality
Pros:

Everything you could possibly want in a breakfast all in the price even Farmers breakfast. Dinners were extra but all cooked fresh and tasted delicious 🍷🥰, The owners Nicky and John could not be more helpful and were determined they were going to roll me out the door 🥰. You will have to reserve your place at the carvery on a Sunday or you won't get in the car park which is quite big as well 😄. The location in Newton Tracey is well placed for any coastal resort along the A39, Clovelly is very nice 👏. Listening to only birdsong is very therapeutic for me👏.

Cons:

I had packed a bar of chocolate which melted by the time I got to the Lodge😢. I couldn't find a fridge so did my best with a large fan that was provided. The Thornton's and Hawkstone cider helped me to bide my time 🥰 I am sure Nicky would of put it in their freezer had I asked👍
