Stoke Lodge Hotel

Easy to book - staff were very helpful on the phone. They warned us not to follow sat nav taking us down Venn Lane when arriving, for which we are very grateful. Pictures look great, and the reality is great too. We were delighted to be greeted by friendly staff on arrival, and see that the hotel was well-kept and beautiful. The setting is so pretty - on a slight hill with sea views and nestled amongst pretty Monterey pines and other foliage. We had one of the most peaceful nights’ rest we have ever had in a hotel. Pillows and bed were perfect - sheets soft; temperature perfect in the room. We loved using the games room in the basement to play pool and darts. There is even a heated, indoor pool, a jacuzzi and a sauna. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the pool, as there was a children’s swim class going on on Saturday morning. This was our only disappointment with the hotel. Overall, it was a fantastic find, and it is great value for money. It is wonderful to know that there are still family-run places like this, so well-kept and still affordable for families.

Looking to treat ourselves for Christmas, we booked at Stoke Lodge Hotel. Less expensive than other places we looked at, but there was something organized for every day, a lot of effort had been put in, so even better value. We found it to be clean, comfortable, friendly and helpful. Myles, Alex and both sets of parents put their all into being great hosts, presents at Christmas breakfast, escorting guests to Midnight Mass, Christmas morning on the beach, coastal path walk to Dartmouth and lifts back if you only wanted to do one way and a fun quiz. It is also obvious that they are making their home here and get involved in village life. A special mention for the fantastic food, which we enjoyed every bit of. We know there is an ongoing extensive refurbishment and we wish them all the very best with their plans and new family. Hope to visit again before too long.

After staying at the Stoke Lodge for many years this was our first visit since Myles, Alex and family took the helm. The experience was as good, if not better, than ever. Friendly, easy going and helpful staff and the food was exquisite. Add that to the hotels superb location you have the perfect escape. Good luck to you all in your new venture and look forward to seeing you in the coming months.

Had a wonderful stay at Stoke Lodge. The new owners were very friendly and helpful. Would highly reccomend. Lovely location with beautiful walks and close to the stunning town of Dartmouth. The hotel is in a lovely quiet location, very peaceful and relaxing.

The cheerful and warm welcome we received heralded a very happy stay with every effort being made to cater for our dietary requirements. The food was outstanding as was the staff. Alex and Myles and their families provided a warm and relaxing stay and we look forward to our next visit.

We have just returned after a two night stay for my husband's birthday. It was one of the best breaks we have ever had, from the moment we walked in to reception we knew it was going to be wonderful. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and more. The chef is the best i've experienced and we dined both nights and felt thoroughly spoilt! A birthday cake was brought out for my husband, candles lit with the lad serving singing "Happy Birthday". Fantastic service from the friendly restaurant staff, who not only serve but were full of local knowledge to enhance our stay. We used both the indoor and outdoor pool,sauna and jacuzzi all were in good clean condition with toiletries and extra towels supplied for poolside changing rooms. Our room king size sea facing with an extra bed for our daughter was large, with an immaculate bathroom, the huge bed was so comfy with good quality bedding. The room was also decorated with birthday banners and balloons on request. The only problem we had was that we did not want to leave and we will definately be returning for more visits in the future. Perfect relaxing break that couldn't have gone any better. A huge Thank you to you all for making our weekend and a special birthday one we will never forget.
