34 reviews from guests who stayed at Fingle Glen Lodges
Overall, we had a decent stay. The lodge was really spacious and kept tidy, which was great for our little getaway. The staff at the bar were lovely, making us feel welcome. The food was top-notch too! Just a shame about some repairs needed and the fishing not being as expected. Still, we enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed it, felt very at ease throughout the experience.
We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The location is stunning and although the on-site amenities are few, everything else was quite comfortable. The hot tub was a real highlight!
Great spot for a chillout, lovely scenery and everything was spotless, would come again!
We found the seasonal discounts perfect for retirees like us, making the trip more affordable and enjoyable.
Were really pleased with the service, exceeded what we expected, will return again!
Really enjoyed our stay here, its such a tranquil spot, perfect for unwinding. Would definitely return!
Really enjoyed the whole experience
Overall, its a nice spot, even if there are some things we didnt love.
The place is pretty decent overall, but it could use some fixing up. The bathroom sinks a nightmare to drain and the wardrobes broken. Reported everything to reception, though. Not bad, just needs a bit of TLC.
We had such a lovely time staying here! The location is perfect for a peaceful escape with friends and the layout really gives you plenty of privacy. The lodge itself was super spacious and spotlessly clean, with everything you could need-full oven, washer/dryer, dishwasher, even a bath and shower. The hot tub was an absolute highlight, already at the right temperature when we arrived and they checked the chemical levels daily, which was reassuring. We loved relaxing outside on the seating area too. The only minor hiccup was the service in the club restaurant; the staff seemed a bit unsure about the menu and drinks, but the food was delicious. Well definitely be back!
Comfortable and cosy
Great experience, definitely recommend to friends
We recently stayed at this lovely cabin and honestly, its way bigger than it looks from the outside. The view over Hole 1 on the golf course is pretty nice, though we couldnt really enjoy it much since it was off-season and no one was playing during our visit. The location is handy, but wed recommend heading to Sainsburys if you need to do a shop - the guidebooks advice is spot on. We tried going to a Tesco nearby, but it turned into a bit of an adventure through narrow country lanes and hills, which took ages. One thing that caught us out was the lack of a tea towel - not something we usually think about bringing, as most places weve stayed in this company had one supplied. Also, only one baking tray in the oven meant we had to get a bit creative and the ovens symbols have rubbed off, so it was a bit of guesswork figuring out the settings. The hot tub was definitely a highlight - its the biggest weve ever used! It wasnt heated fully until late on our first night because it had been drained, probably due to glass shards left in it from previous guests, which was odd considering they provide plastic wine and pint glasses for it. Overall, its a nice little spot and good value for money. Wed happily return for the same price - definitely a good find!
Great experience, well definitely be returning soon!
Great spot for a relaxing weekend away!
The lodge was pretty spacious and offered lovely views, which was a real plus. The kitchen lacked some utensils weve had elsewhere and the double bed was just two singles pushed together-headboards overlapping was a bit awkward.
We had a really relaxing break at this lovely golf course, with a friendly clubhouse and great location nearby. Perfect!
Weve stayed here three times now and its still such a peaceful spot. Perfect for unwinding and relaxing. Lovely place!
Great place, friendly staff and well definitely return soon. Highly recommend to everyone!
Looking forward to our stay!
We stayed in a really spacious lodge that was spotless. The furnishings felt high-quality and it had everything we needed, from a washing machine to a large fridge freezer. The rooms were comfy, with separate toilet and shower. Perfect for families or couples and the views were lovely!
Decent overall, but the shower needs some attention.
Very cosy place, beautifully decorated, perfect for a quiet work trip.
We managed to snatch a last-minute deal and headed straight to Exeter with a couple of friends. From the moment we arrived, the guy at reception was friendly and gave us a warm welcome, showing us to our lodge. The place was in pretty good nick-sure, the exterior could do with a fresh coat of paint, but overall, it was spot on. The hot tub became our main hangout; we spent hours soaking and just chilling outside until about 3am, stargazing and loving every second. We also squeezed in some time on the golf range, which was pretty decent, but honestly, most of our stay was just about unwinding in the hot tub. The only real hiccup was the shower situation-the boiler was tiny, so we could only manage quick 2-minute showers before the water cooled down or everyone else had to wait ages for a warm rinse. Still, well definitely be coming back!
We stayed here for work and honestly, the lodges were spot on. The clubhouse on-site served decent food, so yeah, it was a good stay!
Really enjoyed the stay
We found the lodge pretty roomy and well-equipped for self-catering, though the fridge-freezer was a bit of a mess and we couldnt figure out the hob. Luckily, the club house restaurant was nearby, so eating out was no trouble at all!
We had a pretty good stay overall. The lodges are quite spacious and well kitted out, which was great. The only thing that could be improved are the sofas-they're a bit low and looking a bit tired, so a refresh wouldnt go amiss. We did have a couple of issues upon arrival, like a non-working dishwasher and missing light fittings, but they were sorted out the same day. Also, we were told the washing machine was broken and would be replaced during our stay, which it was. It didnt bother us much since we only needed it at the end. Not bad at all!
Really enjoyed staying here, the cabins are comfy and well kitted out.
Good value for money, not much to fault.
Bear in mind it is a golf course, so it doesn’t really have a kiddie play area.
It’s about 30-40 minute drive to the beach, farms, parks etc
Enjoyed our stay, good value for money.
One gripe is they try and sting you an extra 5quid a day for WiFi. This is a con and something standard that needs to be in the price.
Also not all the jets on the hottub work, and self clean isn’t very efficient.
Such an amazing location. The staff were absolutely excellent. Very friendly and so helpful.
Big thank you to all.
We will definitely be back!!!
The lodges are lovely, and the staff very friendly and helpful. We came away with our 10 year old son and grandma and the 2 bedroom lodge was perfect for us. Would definitely recommend and will be back! The meal we had at the club was delicious and brilliant that you get a discount as a resident. Such good value for the quality of food. Perfectly located, close to Exeter and lovely seaside towns. Lots to do!
Really great lodge! The two bed we stayed in was massive. All the facilities you need are there, especially kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine, kettle, toaster) as well as TV with free view channels. No wifi though.
Hot tub was great! Located right by the lodge’s front door. Could adjust temperature, lights etc.
Parking right by the lodge too - useful.
Location great too. About 10-15mins drive from Exeter where there’s loads of restaurants, good high street, the Quay, historic areas.
Overall great experience, 10/10.
