FAQs

We are located In the wonderful area of North Devon ,midway between Bideford , Barnstaple and Torrington, a few miles inland from the fabulous North Devon coastline with great beaches and activities, and we offer great forest lodges in an established woodland, surrounded by the rolling green countryside of the area.

We are under two hours from Bristol and just over 3 hours from the Midlands and London.

Cars are required to get here and each lodge has adequate parking for 1 or 2 vehicles. It is possible to arrive by train at Barnstaple Station and a taxi from there to the lodges is between £20 and £30. 

 PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO OUR WONDERFUL PEACEFUL LOCATION WE DO NOT HAVE A MOTORWAY RIGHT UP TO THE ENTRANCE. THE LAST MILE TO THE LODGES IS A SINGLE TRACK ROAD WITH PASSING PLACES . IF YOU MEET A VEHICLE AND SMILE ,PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS REVERSE IF YOU FEEL YOU CANNOT. 

Google Maps will bring you here if Bulworthy Forest Lodges is used NOT the postcode.

There is also Hedden’s Farm shop on the road to Bideford at Woodtown. Open 8 a.m. till 4 p.m. it offers milk and bread plus homegrown meat and veg. Petrol station at Roundswell, Barnstaple and Bideford.

For larger superstores we recommend Barnstaple or Bideford.

We do encourage supporting small local shops where you can as it is so critical to the local economy. Great butchers and bakers can be found in the market towns of Bideford and Barnstaple.

Most lodges have a washing machine and there is a laundry shed on site that offers an additional machine and a coin operated dryer.

All rooms are cleaned to a high standard with appropriate cleaning products.

Beds are made up according to the number of guests booked and spare left in the wardrobe should additional beds be required. Each guest has a bath towel and there is a starter pack of household necessities inc. toilet roll.

Free Wi-fi is available  but bear in mind it is a rural location .Most lodges get a good service  BUT it is slowest in Kingfisher, Otters Holt and Hunters Lodge due to the nature of the site. Speeds do vary depending on lodge location and demand, but usually a  basic service should be available.

if you need the most reliable service the lodges Larches, Rosebay and Honeysuckle would be the best options.

Most mobile phone providers provide a service here but it can sometimes be necessary to move around the site a little as some providers have patchy cover.

Lodges have a brick BBQ close to the lodge.

No disposables BBQ allowed. Portable BBQ’s are allowed but must be placed on either concrete surfaces/hardcore area with safety in mind.

If the weather has been very dry for a long period, we do have to ask for safety reasons that BBQ’s ARE NOT LIT (This rarely happens but it is best to let you know).

Each Lodge has space directly outside the lodge for one car. The larger lodges offer 2 spaces. Additional cars can be parked elsewhere on site if required.
