  • This stunning lakeside lodge offers the perfect rural retreat set in beautiful gardens which guests are free to explore
  • One mile from the busy market town of South Molton and its range of shops, pubs and restaurants and within easy reach of the sandy beaches of Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe
Property code: ISLVI

With wooded countryside surrounding it, this property a great rural escape for small families. It’s set away from the main farmhouse on the south side of the lake, carefully positioned to ensure privacy. Here you get the best of both worlds, with a quiet and rural setting that offers true peace and serenity, but with the market town of South Molton just 1 mile away.

The lodge-style property is accessed via three external steps, with the rooms all on a single storey. There’s an open-plan living area with plenty of space for a family of four; at night, it’s a cosy hideaway with a roaring stainless steel wood burner, great for those cooler evenings. The rooms have a light and airy feel, with wooden floors, archways leading from the living space, and neutral decor throughout.

Head into South Molton and explore the tempting chocolate factory or Quince Honey Farm - both great family trips, with the latter housing a cafe and children’s soft play area. Further afield, Exmoor National Park (5.5 miles) offers scenic walks and cycle ways which lead ‘over the border’ to neighbouring Somerset’s coastline. North Devon is home to an abundance of sandy beaches though, with Westward Ho! (21.5 miles) and Saunton (20 miles) just two that are within easy reach.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 king-size and 1 twin
  • Bathroom with shower over bath and WC
  • Small ornamental lake with lakeside garden and woodland garden in owner’s grounds which guests are free to explore
  • Oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine
  • Smart TV 
  • Oil-fired central heating included
  • Wood burner with logs included
  • Outside patio with table, chairs, BBQ and sun loungers
  • Shed to store boots, shoes and outdoor clothes
  • Shops, pubs and restaurants located 1 mile away
  • Ample parking outside the lodge
  • Please note, there is no access to fishing on the lakes when booking this lodge
  • This property will be decorated for Christmas
  • Arrival: 17:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details

Lovely lodge in a wonderful location. Lovely and roomy, clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and had a great holiday. We recommend Rachael's Tearoom in South Molton, the food is delicious and the service is wonderful.

We have visited this site every year since 2018, stayed in 3 out of the 4 lodges and all are fabulous. The peace and quiet is soothing for the soul yet you are so close to bustling towns and glorious beaches. Our favourite place to be!

This place is amazing whether you are into fishing or not. The chalet we stayed in was in such a lovely spot and had most stuff you'd have at home. Having filled the birdfeeders, breakfast time was also bird watching time. The lakes and gardens are glorious and we saw a couple of huge fish caught by some lucky fishers.

The lodge has a lovely home from home feel, everything you need for a short break, clean and comfortable with super views from the back patio and the lakes from the front patio. We were lucky to have good weather and see the sunset each night over the lake. Town just short distance away with pubs shops etc.

Great place! Recommended! We stayed for a week with 2 kids (5 years old and 6 weeks old) and it was fantastic. Close to seaside and decent attractions. Have not tried the fishing but did not see anybody pull anything out.

The Lodge and its location exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was so spacious, warm, clean and very comfortable. The location was superb in terms of its outlook over the lakes, little or no light pollution at night so dark skies, bright stars and quiet, oh so quiet. 5 minute easy drive into South Molton or a 20 minute walk, either way eveRead morerything you need within a very short distance. Wildlife in abundance if you provide the food for the bird feeders. Fabulous place Hide

Lovely relaxing week just what we needed. Lodge is comfortable and warm. Great view over the lake we loved watching all the wild/bird life. If you stay here you need to take bird feed to replenish the feeders we didnt know this The lodge is a little tired and could do with a deep clean. It was acceptable to walk into, unpack and relax.

Although the lodge is set in the grounds around a fishing lake, this should not deter any non fisherman from booking this property. It's in lovely, peaceful surroundings and the owner has created fantastic gardens around the lakes which are very well looked after. The property itself is set in the countryside and on the extremity of South Molton. IRead moret is spacious and has all the items required for a comfortable stay, with a supermarket only a couple of minutes drive away for provisions. Hide
