Rejuvenate with rolling countryside, lakeside vistas, and sandy shores at this stylish Devonshire lodge. Set within 250 acres of beautiful forest landscapes and perched beside the southwest's largest freshwater lake, this is a countryside hideaway like no other. Take an early-evening stroll around the lake to spot the flourishing birdlife. Roam the forest habitats – it's prime for building dens. Or pick up the pace with a sailing or windsurfing lesson out on the waters. Part of an exclusive lodge holiday estate, there are impressive facilities to keep everyone amused here. Expect an equipped sailing and activity centre, along with a high ropes course, an archery center, and fishing – to name but a few. And when tummies start to rumble, there's a scenic lakeside café and bistro for an easy bite to eat. Though with a made-for-action kitchen back at home, you may decide to mosey back home for dinner instead. Inside this pristine home, there's plenty of space for you to all spill out and relax. Come together for cosy evenings beside the fireplace with a Netflix movie in the winter months. And on balmy nights, pad outside onto the wraparound private terrace to soak away the early evening in the hot tub. There's no finer place to be with the sun setting over the hills beyond.
