Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Friendly and great location
We booked Sea View Lodge as a last minute decision and we were not disappointed the well equipped bungalow was immaculate and the location with the distant sea view and the peaceful surroundings made our stay very enjoyable. Mike & Karen were very friendly and helpful , we look forward to returning next year.

A well equipped, clean holiday home with a stunning seaview
This is the first time my family has stayed at Seaview Lodge but it definitely won't be the last! On arrival we were greeted by the friendly owners who made us very welcome whilst showing us round their holiday bungalow. The first thing that grabbed us was the stunning seaview which is visable from the kitchen, front room and master bedroom. The house is very well equipped and is cleaned to a very high standard. During our stay we were gifted with amazing weather and spent many days relaxing and dining on the patio overlooking the sea, perfect! To make it all complete we even saw badgers, deer and a glowbug/worm...and no wasps, yes really!!! My family consists of three teenagers who are very tough critics and even they said that after we had been at the house for less than a day made us promise to come back next year. This is real testiment to the relaxed atmosphere created by Mike and Karen. We would highly recommend this holiday let

Home from Home
Seaview Lodge is a newly built and beautifully appointed holiday home from home. It’s all on one level, so ideal for both the older and younger members of our family. Set proudly within the stunning Devon countryside, yet with a tantalising view of Dawlish Warren and the open sea beyond. For the more active there are great walks from the property, and a famous coastal train service, but it’s very easy to explore by car, and all the most popular Devon resort towns are within easy reach, as are the wild expanses of Dartmoor. South Devon is one our favourite places to be, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Seaview Lodge to anyone. Thanks to Karen & Mike for a truly memorable holiday.

A slice of paradise
We stayed at this lodge for 3 nights in early September and loved every minute of it . The quiet setting overlooking the coast was sublime. Relaxation was easy. It is a brand new complex quite separate from the main house so as guests you feel very private. It is self catering with all necessary cutlery/crockery etc supplied. Very clean and tidy. Because the lodge is placed at the edge of open country the wildlife is all around you... rabbits scamper around first thing in the morning, squirrels are prominent, birdsong is ever there. Its beautiful The lodge is close to Dawlish so driving in to town is easy although the narrow road to the lodge can be a bit daunting especially for people like us from Australia where roads are big. Highly recommended.

Amazing views and wildlife on your doorstep.
I spent a week at sea view lodge with my parents and three year old daughter. The owners were lovely. Very helpful and informative. The lodge itself is fantastic, like a home away from home. It has everything you could possibly need and is like new inside. I would love to corm back in winter just to try the log fire!! The beach is just down the road and there are loads of rides and things for kids at Dawlish Warren. If you have young children I would also recommend 'the world of country life' it's in one of the brochures in the house and it's fantastic.
The highlight of my holiday was the wildlife that is literally on you doorstep. Every evening we would all go down and watch the foxes playing in the sun. If you stayed until the sun started to go down we usually saw dear and a couple of badgers. There was also a wild boar that came to visit for a few days. To top it off on my last day I woke up to a woodpecker just outside my window and a squirrel on the doorstep which sat there for quite a while to the delight of my daughter.
Thank you Karen and Mike for letting us stay in your wonderful lodge.

Mrs
We returned to this beautiful cottage for the second time this year. Again the cleanliness of the cottage was of a high standard and very well equipped. Although the weather was not as good as last year we still made good use of the garden and furniture. The view has been extended (a few trees have been trimmed) since our last visit with more of the bay to enjoy. The owners again were courteous, friendly and accommodating and did everything they could to enhance our stay giving local knowledge on the area when requested. Our family would highly recommend this holiday home for location and value for money. We are certainly looking to return for a third year to this tranquil haven

Idyllic spot
When we arrived at the property we were shown around by the owners who advised us of all we needed to know. The property is kept immaculately clean.
Everything you could possibly need for cooking is provided. There is a washing machine and a dishwasher.
The owners were very friendly and welcoming but were never intrusive.
The views from the bungalow are spectacular and the surrounding countryside is beautiful, There are plenty of rabbits around the bungalow in the morning and evening. On different occasions we saw a deer and a fox in the field beyond the bungalow.
At dusk, If you go outside to the gate, you will hear a cacophony of birds and see them swarming in the treetops.
The location is excellent as there are so many places to visit without having to travel too far. Powderham Castle, which is just a couple of villages away is worth a visit.
There are two pubs just a short walk down the hill in Cockwod, which provide food.
It is very easy to get across to Exmouth, on the foot ferry, at Starcross which is just outside Cockwood.
We really enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Wonderful place to stay.
Sea View Lodge is a wonderful place for a family holiday. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and the lodge itself is perfect in every way. The view from the garden and the wildlife you can see are really amazing! This is the best place we have ever stayed on holiday. We will definitely be booking again!
