The lodge is approached via a gravel track, with parking available nearby. A few steps lead up to the private terrace, where a bubbling hot tub and outdoor seating offer the perfect spot to relax in peaceful surroundings and listen to birdsong — or perhaps spot one of the deer that pass through the estate.

The entrance opens directly into a light and compact open-plan living space. The kitchen is located on the left and is equipped for self-catering stays. On the right is a corner sofa that can be converted into a bed, and a small dining area with stools sits neatly in the corner. A wood-burning stove provides warmth and cosiness.

A sliding door leads to the bedroom, and the en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower, toilet, and basin.

Despite the tucked-away setting, Squirrels Lodge is only five minutes from South Molton, where guests will find a range of shops, pubs, and cafés, and just a short drive to both scenic Exmoor and the wide sandy beaches of the North Devon coast.
