Perched on a peaceful lakeside, the backing track to a stay at this lodge is one of birdsong and rustling reeds. Show off your culinary skills in the full kitchen, which has everything you need to cook up breakfast, lunch and dinner. Perhaps serve at the outdoor table on the veranda and enjoy while spotting birds and dragonflies hovering above the calm lake waters. There are a couple of lounge chairs too for sunny afternoons. Inside, the open-plan living area has a luxurious L-shaped sofa in front of a wood-burning stove for chilly evenings. Or, opt to keep warm in the bubbling waters of your very own hot tub. Although you’re in the heart of the idyllic English countryside here, it’s just a fifteen-minute drive into the centre of Exeter with its huge array of restaurants, cafés and shops, and there are plenty of things to do in the woodland grounds – walking and cycling trails, golf, angling and horse-riding.

About Exeter
Exeter is centred on its pretty Cathedral Close, whose manicured lawns are surrounded by charming historic buildings. Cafes spill out onto the green under the steeple of the towering Anglican cathedral, and in December, the courtyard lights up with Christmas market stalls.
