Oak Lodge

Oak Lodge is a single-storey contemporary lodge in Torridge countryside, built around a central terrace that connects nearly every room to the outdoors. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms occupy one wing, with a generous living and dining area, sun room, and fully equipped kitchen arranged to flow onto that same garden space. Four of the five bedrooms have super kingsize beds; the fifth contains bunks for children. Three of the four bathrooms are ensuite to bedrooms; the fourth is a shared shower room.

The layout is largely ground-floor living, which means minimal stairs and easy access throughout. A wood burner warms the main living room, while the sun room doubles as a games and reading space. The kitchen is fully set up for self-catering, with an electric oven, hob, dishwasher and all the basics. Wi-Fi and heating are included. Your own hot tub sits on the terrace, and there is private parking for five cars. One dog is welcome at no extra cost. Families and couples are the intended guests; smoking is not permitted.

The setting suits groups wanting space to spread out—couples can retreat to separate areas, while younger children have the garden to explore. Bideford sits on the north Devon coast, making this a base for both seaside visits and countryside walks.
