You will start each day relaxed and refreshed.
The newly refurbished bathroom is stunning.
A super spacious and modern bathroom awaits. Perfect for unwinding in after a full day of adventure.
The living-room has a choice of wonderfully comfortable reclining chairs, with a wood-burning stove for out-of-season evenings.

What a fabulous spot to enjoy a glass of something tasty.
More treats to make the most of your stay here.

Mount Pleasant Lodge offers you your own secluded patio-area as well, where you can have enclosed space if that suits your dog best.

This area is excellent walking country, and there is plenty to explore along country lanes and the network of footpaths that link the hamlets and villages nearby.
Just a short drive away, the renowned Ashill Inn offers real ales, excellent food and a friendly atmosphere, whilst having the added bonus of being dog-friendly too. For the adventurous try a session at the local gliding club just down the road – you will certainly get some panoramic views of the hills that way!
