A week at Blackmore Lodge.

Arrived to the lodge - on first inspection we were very disappointed with the cleanliness , lots of dirt especially around the kitchen area. Fridge had juice on the shelves, the oven was filthy as was the oven tray - the cutlery had to be washed, no washing up items which said in the welcome pack that there would be. Dents in walls, wall paper torn off. The so called cleaner left their top on the dining table, a bottle of bleach left on the bathroom sink. Apart from a broom there was no hoover or even a bissell. The dog pooh bin outside the lodge was FULL UP. My wife was in the kitchen one day with all bi fold doors open, to be greeted by a man standing on our deck by the kitchen saying oh hello Ive come to check your hot tub?? My wife asked that doesnt he knock normally? He said theres no where to knock - my wife suggested that he should knock on the bedroom or kitchen windows before entering . You do not expect anyone just to be on your deck, my wife could have had anything on - we suggest a type of bell should be fitted.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear that your experience fell short of expectations. We’re disappointed to learn that the lodge was not presented to the level we pride ourselves on. Your comments regarding the kitchen, fridge, oven, and general presentation have been taken very seriously and shared with the housekeeping team for immediate review. Leaving personal items behind and failing to stock promised essentials is unacceptable, and we sincerely apologise for the oversight. We also appreciate your note regarding the lack of cleaning equipment and the full dog waste bin outside the lodge—both should have been addressed prior to your arrival, and we’re sorry they weren’t. Regarding the hot tub check, we understand how unsettling it must have been for someone to appear on your deck without prior notice. While routine maintenance is necessary, it should always be carried out with respect for guest privacy. We’ve already raised this with the team and are exploring ways to improve communication and ensure staff knock appropriately—your suggestion of a bell is a helpful one. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Accommodation was excellent, in beautiful surroundings. Parking a bit tight but at least it was close by. Gas cupboard had nails sticking out so could do with some maintenance. Otherwise a brilliant place, very central to all North Devon. Restaurant excellent
