Nestling on the edge of Exmoor National Park within easy reach of Combe Martin and the north Devon Coast, Kentisbury Lodges offer boutique-style living within a picturesque corner of the Devonshire countryside.
Lovely location The lodge itself was nice, but was very tired looking in places, and seeing as it's described as "luxury" I would have expected it to be in better condition.

Thank you for leaving us some feedback! This has been reported back to the site as well as other feedback and I can confirm that the Lodge has been closed out for essential maintenance. I am pleased however that you did enjoy the location and that the Lodge itself was nice. Please be reassured that we are working with the team at Kentisbury Grange to bring the Lodges back up to standard. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.

We booked a week in Clifton Lodge as a way to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary, the site promised us luxury. While we were able to out the shortfalls aside, upkeep of the property and cleanliness lets it down. The first thing that greets you is a very strong musky (bad) smell. We thought that it might reduce over time, it didn't, we bought air fresheners to help, with little impact. The dishwasher was still full of water and pasta from a previous guest. The coffee machine had not been emptied and we found chocolate from a previous guest in the sofa. The vinyl laminate on the floors and walls is chipping at the edges and the bathrooms could deal with resealing the joints which are mouldy. The wifi was unusable unless we were sat in our car. The technology was miswired taking us 2 days to fix. Only one sachet of instant coffee was provided, while I recognise it's self catering you expect at least enough for each person to have one drink on their first morning. Kitchen equipment is shabby buy usable. The fridge is effective though. The grounds are lovely, the hot tub did everything you expect and the shower is good quality. Didn't have a bath but from what I can see neither the tv in the bath nor the spare room work. The restaurant was very nice, check in easy. I naively thought I might be able to go on a dog walk on foot from the grounds but the winding roads and lack of pavements meant that didn't feel safe for the dog, but that's not the venues fault. Overall we ensured we had a good stay and made the most of being a long way from work, and the lack of wifi prevented us even contemplating logging in, but it wasn't the luxury feel advertised by far. It could be with better upkeep and facilities though.

Hi Steven. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, and that your holiday was interrupted by the issues you had mentioned. This is of course not the standard we aim to uphold, so following your comments the lodge has been temporarily closed so that remedial action can be taken to address the issues raised and ensure future guests have a more comfortable stay. This is including but not limited to: maintenance to restore tired furniture, renewal of equipment and a re-evaluation of the changeover process, to avoid things slipping through the cracks like they have this time. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future, following a revamp of the lodge. All the best.

We did see plenty of reviews before we booked stating the lodges were tired and in need of freshening up, however, given we have 2 dogs we dont mind a few scuffs or marks etc. That said we were disappointed given many of the comments calling out damage etc were some time ago and for a luxury accommodation I would expect the most significant items to have been at least looked into. Most of my frustrations were cosmetic but some went beyond that. Id point out that we didnt raise these with the staff because, in all honestly whats the point? They are not going to fix loose tiles and rip up a whole deck, plus why would I want to disrupt a family holiday having work done in my accommodation! My main disappointment was the state of the deck area around the lodge. I was in need of replacement, if we had small children with us, I would have been more worried. The deck panels were not flush with one another so definite trip hazards and sharp edges. The veranda was wobbly and I would not want to lean against for too long. The canopy above the door was rotten and falling apart, its just messy! Inside as I say it was scruffy but it was ok for our purpose, there was clearly water damaged flooring and the laminate was in poor condition and coming apart. It was actually several different finishes pushed together where they had tried to fix it, not luxury. The toilet in the en-suite was lose from the wall (this had been mentioned by other guests some time ago), shaver socket loose. The main internal problem was the states of the blinds. Most were broken and a couple were missing. Not luxury. Whilst it didnt impact our holiday too much, it was just disappointing to see that so many other guests had called out the same issues months and months earlier and yet the resort had made no attempt to fix them. Its not luxury accommodation, its not even close. Plenty of work to be done to be put into that category. Unfortunately, we wont be revisiting anytime soon.
