Make the great escape to this countryside lodge retreat neatly tucked away within 250 acres of verdant forest landscapes, with the southwest's largest freshwater lake just footsteps away. Part of an exclusive lodge holiday estate, this place has family adventures written all over it. There's an equipped sailing and activity centre, a high ropes course, an archery centre, and fishing, to name a few, so you can up the ante whenever you please. And when it's time to refuel, the panoramic lakeside café and bistro are just a short stroll away. Or jump in the car and blaze a scenic trail down to Devon's coast – the lip-smacking fish and chips will always be worth the drive. Back home, you'll love the light-filled, free-flowing feel of the living space. Flex your culinary muscles in the made-for-action kitchen (complete with a wine fridge to chill your evening tipple to perfection) while others crash out on the oh-so-sinkable velvet sofas beside the fire. Then keep the night flowing outside on that vast private terrace with a soak in the hot tub – the star gazing is out of this world.
