Enjoy a romantic getaway for two with this charming log cabin in North Devon. Set in a peaceful location within a 320-acre farm, it is surrounded by fishing lakes, woodland walks and an abundance of wildlife. Spend your days fishing for carp, roach or rudd, exploring nearby Clovelly (2 miles) or walking the South West Coast Path before returning to this delightful retreat for a delicious BBQ in the evening sunshine.

Accessed via steps or a ramp, this pine cabin is the perfect setting for romantic retreats for two. With a sociable open-plan layout, the traditional kitchen area contains everything you could need for rustling up delicious meals for two, while the charming table looks out over the grounds. After meals, snuggle up on the sofa in the lounge area and spend the evening watching TV, playing games or reading with your loved one before retreating to the delightful double bedroom for the night. Heading outside, the sunny balcony is a wonderful spot for al fresco dining, while the lawn area below is perfect for four-legged friends.

Nestled amidst stunning lakes, this lovely lodge is a paradise for walkers, anglers and canine companions. After a peaceful morning’s fishing, take a stroll through the pretty woodland or pop into the nearby fishing village of Clovelly. Famous for its ancient cobbled streets and picturesque harbour, the village is also home to a quaint selection of cafes, bars and restaurants.

The lodge suited our purpose but was quite small. I loved the bird feeders outside but had to go and buy our own seed to keep them topped up. Not an issue as we love birds but I would have thought there would have been somewhere we could topp up from. Also there never seemed to be anyone manning the reception during open hours. I had to text the moRead morebile several times with queries and then wait for a response. However, having said that, the responses were timely and helpful Hide

Clovelly Lakes is in a beautiful location of lakes, woodland and wildlife. It is peaceful and cosy even in winter. There are plenty of great places to eat a short drive away.

We've had another lovely holiday here at Clovelly Lakes. If you want to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet, this is the place you need to go to. My husband loves the fishing and I love sitting on the deck with our dog Rosie and a good book. We are close enough to Bude to enjoy a walk along the coast path or the canal.

Our lodge was warm, comfy and well equipped as well as being spotlessly clean which is due to the excellent cleaning staff. The whole site is very well laid out and maintained. Claire was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Hubby had a great time fishing every day and caught some lovely carp. The fish all appear to be in very good conditRead moreion and plentiful. The site is very peaceful with an abundance of birds including a very friendly Robin. This site is highly recommended. Hide

The cabin is lovely and cosy for two people and the fact that there is a dishwasher is great, because who wants to wash up on holiday when you dont at home?

Lovely lodge , very clean , stayed in Goldfinch for 2 people. Sofa not very comfortable and no where to put your fishing equipment - had to leave in car or out on balcony to dry out. Would stay again , it had everything we needed .

The whole week was amazing, especially as we had sunshine every day. Everything in the lodge and in the garden was great and the fishing was wonderful. We have 2 dogs and it was great for them. The location was perfect and we went out visiting all the local and Cornish towns that we love. Would highly recommend.
