This is the scene that will greet you on arrival. Stunning!
Mount Pleasant Lodge is in a glorious setting with delightful, beautifully maintained gardens to enjoy.
The spacious kitchen/dining-room looks out over the gardens. The stairs in the corner lead to the living-room.
The extremely well-equipped kitchen is set at the far end of the dining-room. The utility-room is through the door to the right of the picture.
The main bedroom has plenty of space and a luxurious king-size bed.
This is the start of the Jurassic Coast at Sidmouth, a short drive from the other side of Honiton.
This is the view from the front of the Lodge - there are doors to the gardens from both the kitchen/dining-room and the living-room.
Cooking up a treat for friends and family is a pleasure in this lovely contemporary kitchen.
This really is just the place for an elegant dinner to celebrate your holiday.
Another view of the main bedroom.
You will be tempted to have a long lie in in this comfortable room.
The en suite wet-room is down a couple of steps from the main bedroom.
This is the other double bedroom, just as calming and comfortable as the master.
There is a door to the patio so you can lie in bed, and let the fresh morning air and the sound of birdsong in.
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.
There is also a private sheltered area at the side of the Lodge. It is quite a suntrap. This area can be enclosed if you wish.
What a fabulous spot to enjoy a glass of something tasty.
More treats to make the most of your stay here.
Mount Pleasant Lodge has the most amazing gardens for guests to enjoy, stretching out right in front of it.
This is the pathway to the entrance for Mount Pleasant Lodge. Beautiful plants in pots, a little herb garden and the secluded patio around the far corner.
The pond and wildlife within are breathtaking.
An abundance of wildlife and activity can be enjoyed in this beautiful spot.
The fish are bursting with colour and activity.
The gardens are bordered with trees, and there are ancient woodlands on the doorstep too.
There are many tranquil and tucked-away private places for you to sit in the gardens.
A truly magical setting for a walk or a picnic on a sunny day, or even a wintery one!
Bursts of colour roam free throughout these beautiful gardens.

I highly recommend this property, the location, the cottage, the facilities and cleanliness were exceptional. Terry and Gillian were so friendly and helpful.
Mr Lyth August 2025
The cottage is beautiful inside and outside. The hosts Gill and Terry were very friendly and welcoming. It's the best cottage that we have stayed in the last 10 years of holidaying in Devon, Dorset and Cornwall.
Mrs Townley May 2025
We have had a wonderful week in our 4th visit here. It was lovely catching up with Gill and Terry again and their delicious homemade treats are always very welcome! If you want to rest, relax and unwind then Mount Pleasant Lodge is the perfect place to do so....

We needed a cottage on one floor with an accessible shower and the website search found us Mount Pleasant. There are a few steps between the kitchen and the rest of the cottage but there is a slope outside that leads in the living room patio door so it was not a problem. The garden is absolutely beautiful and the cottage well-equipped and immaculately clean. A good kitchen to cook in but no need as nearby we found the lovely Heron Farm for brunch/lunch, and a bit further afield River Cottage for lunch and The Pig at Combe for lunch/tea and cake. For days out the Tramway and wetlands at Seaton were lovely, as was the donkey sanctuary at Sidmouth, Killerton National Trust and the NT village of Branscombe. Sidmouth and Lyme Regis are also lovely to mooch around. We needed to be able to book the use of Tramper mobility scooters for our days out and we found plenty of places with this facility in the surrounding area. In all a perfect holiday cottage for anyone with access needs. ...

A haven of peace and tranquility set in magnificent grounds, Mount Pleasant Lodge lacks for nothing and richly deserves its five star status. No wonder so many guests make repeat visits. More than merely a convenient base from which to explore this delightful part of Devon, the lodge was one of the highlights of our holiday and we recommend it without reservation. Warm, welcoming and thoughtfully discreet (but on hand if you need them), Terry and Gill are the very best of hosts whose attention to detail and ‘no expense spared’ dedication to their guests’ comfort is unparalleled. Easing ourselves into those recliner chairs after a hard day’s sightseeing was such a treat and we slept so well in the master bedroom we asked them for the name of the manufacturer of the mattress. Thank you Terry and Gill. We hope to return in the not too distant future. And not only for that delicious homemade bread, lemon drizzle and marmalade! ...
