  • 40 acre grounds showcasing natural beauty and with five fishing lakes fed by running water
Property code: OC-00355

Fabulously located close to beaches and other fantastic stick chasing spots, this pretty dwelling welcomes guests with both two and four legs. Embrace lakeside living and find delightful moments of peace and quiet in between adventures, either on the balcony or curled up inside. Perfect for a romantic getaway, escape the everyday and spend some quality time with a loved one in glorious Devon.

Climb three steps or head up the ramp into the property where cosy spots will keep you comfortable throughout your stay. Wood-panelled walls create a cabin-style ambience and the sofa invites you to unwind with your feet up in front of the TV. Experiment with flavour in the kitchen and rustle up tasty treats for those with tails before dining at the table and toasting to time spent together. When the sun shines, enjoy an al fresco tipple on the balcony and listen to the lapping of the lake or fire up the BBQ on the nearby grassy area. This property is slightly set back from the water’s edge making it a truly tranquil abode. As heads get weary, close your eyes in the charming bedroom where a handy dressing table makes room for your belongings, and rise in the morning feeling refreshed. A freshen up in the shower will have you ready for a day filled with adventure and fun.

Enjoy a stroll along the beach and a romantic meal for two in the waterside village of Instow, 12.5 miles from home, where the sunsets are magical and dogs are allowed on certain areas of the sand all year around. Just 4.5 miles from your door Hartland is home to breathtaking picnic spots, a handful of coves and the tumbling falls of Speke’s Mill Mouth.

Lovely little cabin, comfy and cosy. So quiet and peaceful and the nights were inky black. No noise or light pollution. Perfect. Plenty of wildlife particularly birds. Our little dog loved it too. Will be booking again soon

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?

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.
