The Great Lake Escape Broadwoodwidger, Devon

Holiday Rental Description

Unplug, rest and reset amidst Devon's rolling countryside, lakesides, and sandy shores at this stylish lodge escape.

Located on the border of Devon and Cornwall, you're just half an hour's drive from some of the region's best beaches and seaside villages (Woolacombe Beach gets our vote). However, you may find all you need is right here on the doorstep of this prestigious complex of holiday homes.

Squirreled away within 250 acres of forest landscapes, you're just a two-minute walk from the southwest's largest freshwater lake for fun on the water. Book in for windsurfing and sailing lessons down at the sailing club. But if you prefer dry land, there's a high ropes course and archery centre too. Or, for something more gentile, a stroll around the lake with your furry friends or den building in the forests is a good place to start.

When you've worked up an appetite, there's a picturesque lakeside café and bistro for an easy bite to eat. Or head back to the lodge to rustle up dinner in that made-for-action kitchen. Then all that's left to do is slide the bi-fold doors back and pad outside onto the wraparound private terrace – there's a hot tub ready and waiting.
