Misty Lake

There’s lodge holidaying. And then there’s lodge holidaying surrounded by 250 acres of forest landscapes and the southwest’s largest freshwater to boot. Embrace it all at this luxurious hideaway with room for all eight of you to pile right in, including your furry friends.

Part of a prestigious complex of holiday homes located on the border of Devon and Cornwall, take your pick from some of the region’s best beaches and seaside towns for day trips and picnics – all just a half-an-hour drive away. Or you could stay exactly where you are, as there’s plenty to keep you busy at home.

Book in for sailing, paddle boarding, or windsurfing lessons down at the lake, just a two-minute walk from your door. Or stick to dry land with the high ropes course, archery centre, or bike rides around the picturesque lake.

When it’s time to slow the pace, the scenic lakeside café for ice creams, a few cheeky drinks, or a light bite to eat will do very nicely. Or head home to keep the evening flowing outside on the deck in the bubbly Jacuzzi before a sunset barbecue. In cooler months, get your glow on beside the fire and crash out with a cosy movie night – there’s room for you all to hunker down in style here.
