Peaceful Cowslip Lodge - Finlake Spa Resort in Devon

There has plenty of room for the 5 guests (+ baby). The heating worked very well when needed and the property was nice and cool in the summer heat when not needed. Liked that there was an extra toilet that could be used when the main bathroom was occupied. The kitchen is a good size. Plenty of equipment in the kitchen and children well catered for with crockery and cutlery. There was also a highchair and stair gate in a cupboard if needed. TV worked really well by signing in to our accounts so the kids were happy in the evenings. Massive deck on the back of the property would have been perfect for alfresco dinning but we didn’t use it other than to store our bikes. It’s great that this property is one of the ones that is not overlooked. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms cool at night which was perfect in the summer heat.

Would be good if matches were available or a long necked lighter as we burnt our fingers a number of times lighting the gas hob. The iron and ironing board could do with an update as the ironing board is wobbly and the cable on the iron is damaged. The oven only has one rack and there is only one roasting pan so difficult to cook for 5 people when needing to use the oven. Ended up moving the bed in the main bedroom so it was against an internal wall so that it was possible to sit up (feeding baby at night). There is plenty of room to do that so although it wasn’t used by us it might be an idea to mount the tv in that room on the window wall. The key to the front door was a little sticky and got stuck in the door a couple of times.

Lovely lodge, great location for local attractions. Several options for eating on site, as well as lots of activities to choose from. The kitchen is well-stocked, and everything works (the gas cooker requires a lighter, but one was provided or can be purchased in the shop on site). Nice owners, responding well.

I'd like a floor squeegee in the wet room to use after the shower, but that's just me. And an extra pillow would be nice. Otherwise, it is a lovely lodge.

Lovely location. Great facilities.

Tired - window blinds. Kitchen a little unclean.

The chalet was spacious with a sunny decking area..the resort was surrounded by woodland,.great for walks and runs.

It would have been helpful of the resort had an app to be able to see what bookings we had made at what times. The Retreat restaurant food was very average and overpriced.
