With views across to Dartmoor, this single-storey lodge that’s on a leisure complex with onsite activities would be perfect for family and friends.

This delightful dog-friendly lodge is set in beautiful countryside, 4 miles from the market town of Hatherleigh. The lodge’s close proximity to the Devon/Cornwall border means it is perfect for exploring the fringes of both counties, whether inland or on the coast. Enjoying open-plan living areas, a private decked area and easy access to a range of leisure facilities, including a children’s play area, there is something for all ages here.

The lodge has a homely feel, its contemporary furnishings and welcoming ambience throughout making for a truly sociable environment. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner offers cosy corners and a fresh, airy feel thanks to skylights above the kitchen at one end and large patio doors at the other. The lodge’s two stylishly-appointed bedrooms - a king-size bedroom and a twin bedroom - sit directly off the main living area, as does a family shower room. Outside, the decked area, accessible via patio doors in the lounge, is a place to enjoy a morning coffee, alfresco brunch or evening cocktail in peaceful surroundings. It’s only a short hop from here to the complex’s laundry facilities, a scenic fishing lake with BBQ facilities, and children’s play area. A seasonal indoor swimming pool also sits nearby, as do a cycle track and footpath which lead to the local village.

The moorlands of Dartmoor (15 miles) offer miles of walking and cycling across some of the South West’s most beautiful scenery. Head to the coastal town of Bude (18 miles), home to sandy beaches, a unique tidal pool and a plethora of dog- and family friendly shops and eateries. The gardens at Rosemoor (10 miles) offer something for all the family, not least a peaceful walk in outstanding greenery.

Absolutely enjoyed the stay. Cottage well designed, equipped and clean. Some nice, personal touches always put you in a good mood. Swimming pool was a hit with kids during bad weather. Efficient heating was also great to dry towels and wet clothes. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay at the Lake Retreat nr Hatherleigh. It was a lovely base to explore the area and had everything we need for a great week away. It was clean and well kept. Brilliant shared pool which we always had by ourselves. It was all very peaceful.

Lovely compact lodge with a large fenced deck, set in a quiet site with a pond stocked with rudd, common carp and mirror carp. There is also an indoor pool which was great. The area is great as a base out to other parts of Devon and Cornwall . The owners of the lodge also left a welcome devonshire tea, which was a lovely gesture. I would definitelyRead more recommend.
