Just stayed for the second time at Octon Lodge and had a wonderful stay. Stayed in a Jacobean Four Posther Suite, it was beautifully decorated hroughout , bed was very comfy , and breakfast was excellent. The owners as always were really friendly as usual. I highly recommend Octon Lodge.

Tried tobook a room here a few years ago but the response to my enquiry was next to useless. Reading a lot of the reviews it seems I was very very lucky I booked elsewhere I loved reading the review regarding the wooden shed with a bed room which stank of damp. How do owners get away with this rubbish!

Have stayed here once before and again I was not disappointed. So quiet and private rooms, tastefully decorated with lovely furnishings. Able to relax and unwind after a long days work, in luxury. Super breakfast included in the rate, excellent value for money and personal attention from 'mine hosts' at all times. Will be back, next time for a weekend... More

My husband and I stayed here en route to the West Country and because we wanted to visit Hestercombe Gardens. The room was very nicely appointed, comfortable bed and the welcome and breakfast were first class. Would we recommend this to friends? No! Unfortunately, the only heat in the rooms was a small electric fire and consequently there was an... More

We booked through Late Rooms, everything was as described, the pictures online are accurate. We had 'full english' with a huge pot of tea and toast, (we were not aware of being charged separately for breakfast.) Geoff was chatty and welcoming; because we were visiting an elderly relation we didn't avail ourselves of his information about local restaurants etc. We... More

Very convenient parking area. Great breakfast. Lovely green grounds outside. Well-located for onward journey to eg.Cornwall. Only downsides were a little cold at night, but to be fair it became v cold that night v... More

Having seen the website we thought it would be a nice place for a one night stop over, that one night turned into one hour. The two bedroom apartment we had booked turned out to be a two bedroom outhouse with old grotty furniture and very poor decor. A total waste of money.

Booked 3 nights for a business trip but in the event only needed 2 - payment already taken of course, and no chance of a refund. We got shown to a 4-poster room which I found a bit spooky, gloomy and cold to sit in at night and towels stayed damp. The room wasnt made up so had to do... More

I have stayed here 3 times in preference for the alternative Premier, Days and Holiday Inns. Always cheaper, miles better, clean and spacious, run by a charming family who will cook and serve you a proper breakfast that will set you up for the day
