Nestled between Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, The Fishing Lodge offers guests an eco-friendly cabin experience set within 250 acres of woodland in Devon.
Designed as a peaceful retreat for two, the cabin provides a blend of rustic charm and practical amenities, appealing to visitors seeking nature-based accommodation with modern comfort.
The handcrafted lodge features an open-plan interior centered around a large wood-burning stove, with comfortable seating and a dining area designed for relaxed meals or quiet evenings.
A mezzanine bedroom with a king-size bed overlooks the living space, while the adjoining bathroom includes a bath with overhead shower, wash basin, heated towel rail, and WC.
Guests can make use of a fully equipped kitchen that includes a gas range oven, microwave, fridge, and coffee machine, with a freezer located outside.
Outdoors, the property offers a wrap-around balcony and a firepit area for alfresco dining or stargazing. The lodge accommodates up to two well-behaved dogs for an additional fee, and visitors are reminded to keep pets on a lead due to nearby livestock.
Parking is available for two vehicles, and while the cabin does not include a television, it offers WiFi, books, and walking trails nearby. Heating is primarily provided by the wood-burning stove, though electric heaters and a starter log pack are supplied.
Located near the village of Kings Nympton, guests have access to local attractions such as The Grove Inn and nearby South Molton’s selection of shops and eateries.
The Michelin-starred Masons Arms is also within driving distance. Regional highlights include Great Torrington and Barnstaple, both approximately 30 minutes away, while visitors can explore Exmoor’s moorlands, the Tarr Steps, and Dartmoor’s scenic landscapes in under an hour.
Coastal destinations such as Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, and Saunton Sands are also accessible for day trips.
For outdoor hospitality professionals, The Fishing Lodge exemplifies a growing demand for eco-conscious, pet-friendly glamping accommodations that combine sustainability with comfort.
Its use of handcrafted materials, minimal reliance on traditional power sources, and natural setting reflect consumer trends favoring immersive, low-impact stays.
Operators seeking to attract similar guests may find inspiration in the lodge’s integration of natural surroundings, curated amenities, and dog-friendly policies — features that increasingly resonate with today’s rural tourism market.
