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.

The Great Lake Escape

Fireplace

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.

Misty Lake

Hair Dryer

Located within a lakeside resort, this cosy lodge is an ideal choice for a getaway in the great outdoors. With a sunny deck and a private hot tub, it's easy to spend all your time relaxing in the sun. Step inside, though, and you'll find a cosy (albeit snug) living area and a trio of compact but comfortable bedrooms. Even better are the resort activities at your disposal, including kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and high ropes. Prefer something more laid-back? Take the pups for long walks along the lakeside trails, or hop in the car and explore Devon. From its picture-perfect countryside to its postcard-worthy coastline, there's something for everyone here.

Halcyon Waters

Located near the edge of one of the South West’s most stunning lakes, and surrounded by mature forest and woodland, this lodge in Devonshire is the perfect place to escape to the countryside and relax in the heart of this rural landscape. 

The home’s wrap-around terrace is the perfect spot to start your days with a coffee on warmer days. Then, head out into the great outdoors. Take a woodland stroll with your four-legged friend, or wander lakeside, with Roadford Lake reachable in just five minutes by car. Go paddle-boarding on the lake, or even enjoy several peaceful hours of fishing. Plus, if you’re looking for a beach day out, Widemouth Bay is only thirty-eight minutes away by car. 

In the evening, why not indulge in a refreshing glass of wine from the kitchen’s wine cooler as you relax alfresco on the outdoor rattan furniture and breath in the fresh Devon air. Then, sink into the soothing bubbles of the hot tub and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature as you unwind from a busy day. Plus, when the weather is colder or the British rain drives you inside, the electric wood burner in the living room will keep you warm and cosy as you enjoy a good book or board game.

If you love the thought of drifting to sleep while gazing up at the stars, this dreamy cabin could be the holiday home for you. The cabin is tucked away in a lush garden in a romantic setting that will make you instantly forget any of the worries of day-to-day life. It’s a studio-style cabin with one wall entirely made of glass, blending the interior and exterior. A skylight above the bed means you’ll go to sleep each night staring straight up at the stars. 

The cabin is based just outside of Launceston in Cornwall, close to the border of Devon. It’s brilliantly located for outdoorsy adventures, whether you’re keen on surfing or prefer to explore the countryside on foot. Dartmoor National Park is twenty-seven minutes away by car, with its wealth of wonderful hikes and cycling trails. You might take a day-trip to St Isaac to paddle in the sea and eat fish and chips and ice cream at the shore – it takes forty-three minutes to drive there, and it’s well worth the trip. 

After a day of exploring Cornwall and its gems, you can look forward to sipping wine on the terrace. Perhaps you’ll cook dinner on the barbecue before enjoying a relaxing bubble bath in the beautiful copper tub. Or to take the romance to the next level, you might soak in the hot tub under the stars. It’s impossible to leave here feeling stressed out.

Our Cabin

From lakeside strolls to long soaks in the private hot tub, this lodge is the ideal setting for a laidback rural escape. Nestled within a resort, you’ll find it’s just a short walk to the lake, while the water sports centre and playground are also within easy reach – making this a great option for family fun. You can also head further afield and explore the beautiful beaches of the Devon and Cornwall coast. Wherever the day takes you, this home has everything you could need to switch off and unwind. Inside, the rooms are simple and cosy, while the private terrace is a sweet spot for evening drinks and barbecues. 

Serenity by the Lake

Fire Extinguisher

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.

Nestled in a typical Devon valley with house martins nesting under the eaves, cattle grazing in the distance and minimal phone reception, you could be forgiven for thinking you've stepped back in time. From the moment you walk in the door, you'll immediately feel the stresses and strains of everyday life melt away. The home has been sympathetically converted to retain its evident charm, with the addition of luxurious modern comforts (including wi-fi – so you won't be completely disconnected from the world). The spacious kitchen is equipped with an AGA for the ultimate in countryside chic, though there's also an induction hob as a backup, plus antique chairs and a beautiful walnut dining table. Through to the new section of the house and you're treated to double-height ceilings and plenty of natural light, in addition to a couple of bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom enjoys views overlooking the orchard and terraced lawns from the open mezzanine beside it. Outside in the garden, you'll find a contemplative space abuzz with insect life throughout the spring and summer, thanks to an abundance of wildflowers. There are plenty of walks from the house, many along secluded footpaths traversing unspoiled valleys – there's a chance you might not meet another soul. If you can tear yourself away, you'll find plenty of pubs and hotels serving fantastic seasonal produce and locally brewed beers. Alternatively, drop by Alder Vineyard – a ten-minute drive away – for a journey far beyond the bottle.



The Old School House

Gather up your nearest and dearest and escape to this Devon lodge retreat, squirrelled away within 250 acres of forest landscapes with the southwest's largest freshwater lake at its heart.

Part of an exclusive lodge holiday estate, this home peacefully beckons guests looking to embrace the great outdoors. Take your pick from sailing, windsurfing and fishing on the lake (just one hundred metres from your door). Take on the high ropes course. Or give your best shot with an archery session. It's all happening down at the sailing and activity centre. Or, for something less energetic, a scenic stroll around the lake followed by lashings of tea and cake at the panoramic lakeside café and bistro might be all you need. And you're never far from the Devon coast if you're chasing a dose of sea air.

When it's time for a rest up at home, the lodge interiors feel fresh and uplifting, with a subtle palette of moss greens and buttercup yellows echoing the rich fauna and flora outside. In winter months, huddle together around the dining table for mealtimes and catch-ups with views of the garden before settling down to cosy film nights. And on long summer nights, open the French doors wide and take things outside into the garden to fire up that barbecue and bubbly hot tub – there's no finer place to toast a day's end.

Devon Dreamer

Get the bubbly chilling in the dedicated wine fridge and heat up the private hot tub for a blissful escape to the country. Part of a complex of lodges and cabins, this place is a few footsteps from shimmering Roadford Lake where an activity centre across the water means you can spend days sailing and canoeing to your heart’s content. Breathe in the fresh country air on nearby woodland walks and jaunts through the wildflower meadow.

Returning to the warm glow of your lodge, settle into the plush sofas with a faux fire “crackling” in the centre. There are some nice touches in the full kitchen like the handful of cookbooks and (yes, it deserves a second mention) the wine cooler. Bask in the sunshine on the patio with meals outdoors before ending the day with a luxurious soak in the sunken hot tub overlooking the woodland and pond. 

Wildflowers & Sail Boats

Satellite / Cable TV

This home's scenery is nothing short of breathtaking. You'll find it nestled amidst two-hundred-and-fifty acres of natural woodland, a stone's throw from the glistening waters of Roadford Lake and set against the dramatic tors of Dartmoor National Park. Here, you're an easy drive from the best of West Devon and North Cornwall, including the market town of Okehampton, Tintagel Castle and Widemouth Bay.

Between adventures, you'll love kicking back in this cosy pad. Spacious, stylishly furnished and brimming with contemporary comforts, it's primed for relaxation. Throughout, large windows usher in floods of sunlight while offering picturesque views of your leafy surroundings. We especially love the open-plan living area, where a huddle of plush sofas blend seamlessly into a large dining bench and a sleek, fully-equipped kitchen. 

After a day spent hiking through the Moors, strolling around historic villages or enjoying the lake's ample water sports opportunities, enjoy an alfresco feast on the patio. Come sunset, take a relaxing dip in the bubbling hot tub before retreating to the sumptuous bedrooms for a restful slumber.

Nestled in the heart of the Devon countryside, this charming former school house promises a serene retreat for a family or group of friends. We love the seamless blend of old and new here, with the main house showing off the home’s history, and the garden rooms bringing a contemporary feel. Add to that the home’s position within its own orchard and with over an acre of garden to explore, and it’s not hard to see why it caught our eye. And, if you can tear yourself away, Dartmoor National Park is a mere ten-minute drive away. 


Devon Dream

Balcony / Patio

Slow down for a while at this luxurious shepherd’s hut hideaway, nestled deep in the rolling countryside between Dartmoor National Park and the Tamar Valley. Recline in the log-fired hot tub (there’s room for two) with nothing but patchwork farmlands on the horizon (and the occasional sheep or pony trotting by). Enjoy evenings roasting marshmallows on a fire pit (which handily doubles as your barbecue) beneath a blanket of stars - on a clear night, you can see right to the milky way. Or take things indoors to curl up on the sofa with a good book –⁠ the wood-burning stove (and central heating) will keep things toasty. And when it’s time to lay your head, a king-size bed adorned with crisp-white linens is waiting for a blissful night’s sleep. Should you ever be tempted to leave this little idyll, you’re just a thirteen-minute drive from the charming historic village of Tavistock. Mosey about its bustling shops, and if you time it right, the weekly farmers market. Then dive into the traditional inn for real ales, good upper-crust pub food, and a warm welcome. 

Under Starry Skies

Lakeside strolls, woodland walks and frolicking in the wildflower meadow are all on offer at this lodge in the Devon countryside. The complex sits on the banks of Roadford Lake where an activity centre on the other side of the water offers boating, canoeing and sailing. Just a short drive away, you’ve got the beautiful scenery of the Dartmoor National Park – perfect for day hikes and biking trails.

The lodge is everything you want for a country getaway – a private hot tub tucked away down the side and a patio to enjoy sunny days dining alfresco. Inside, the plush living room feels cosy with a moss-green palette reminiscent of forest walks. A kitchen provides everything you need for self-catering with the added bonus of a dedicated wine fridge to keep your bubbly and whites chilled. The forest-green motif continues in the bedrooms for a sound sleep.

The master bedroom features garden views and gorgeous natural light. The second bedroom is quiet and cosy with comfy beds and quality bed linen. The home’s wooden panelling and landscape paintings reflect the traditional English setting and create a homely environment, and the heated pool is the perfect place for relaxing.

Set by one of Devon’s prettiest lakes – Roadford Lake – this cabin offers peace and quiet in the middle of the countryside. Days can be spent kayaking, sailing or stand-up paddleboarding on the lake, or cycling the surrounding trails. It’s a short drive to the edge of Dartmoor National Park, where hiking trails snake through the hills.

There’s nothing better than unlacing your hiking boots, changing into your swimsuit and slipping into the private hot tub after a day on the trail. A rattan dining set on the terrace is the perfect spot for a tipple or two as day turns to evening and the fields around you are bathed in golden light. This is an undeniably peaceful spot. Heading inside, get the electric stove on in the living room and curl up on the royal purple sofas. The kitchen has everything you need to handle the bustle of family breakfast time, and the breakfast table sits in a sunny spot, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows.   

Tick Tock, Forget Me Not

Part of a lakeside complex of holiday homes, this lodge combines tranquility with a fantastic location. With space for up to six guests, plus two furry friends, it's a wonderful gateway to the county of Devon. 

The cabin is a modern space, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light flooding in through the large windows. It's the perfect place for socialising – the open-plan set-up makes it easy to chat with your guests while you cook, before serving up your creations at the chic dining bench. On warm days, you might prefer to head outside and fire up the barbeque for a freshly grilled feast. Best of all, you'll even have your very own hot tub, ideal for long, revitalising soaks under the stars. 

Roadford Lake is just a few minutes' walk away from your front door, where you can take part in a range of water sports including paddle boarding and windsurfing. If you're feeling less adventurous, you can stay on dry land and wander through the woodland before treating yourself to something tasty at the on-site café. And, with Dartmoor National Park just twelve minutes away by car, lovers of the great outdoors can enjoy an intensive hike or bike ride through the epic landscapes. 

Dreaming In Devon

Unplug, rest and reset at this meticulously designed shepherd's hut nestled on a farm estate in the rolling Devonshire countryside. Don't be fooled by its charming yet humble exterior. Inside, there's nothing rustic about this luxurious retreat. Surprisingly spacious and with all the creature comforts, expect pristine interiors united by soothing greys. There's a well-equipped bespoke kitchen, complete with a crackling wood-burner stove to keep things toasty. Crisp-white quality linens on the king-sized bed for a blissful night's sleep. And a welcome hamper brimming with freshly baked treats, Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate, and marshmallows for cosy stargazing nights beside the firepit. Open the double doors each morning and soak up the uninterrupted stunning views from your bedside with a cuppa. Kickstart the day with a shower in the sleek, contemporary en-suite. Or take things outside for a lazy soak in the log-fired hot tub as the resident sheep and ponies trot on by. At night, the home takes on a magical feel as the festoon-lights flicker on. Fire up the barbeque, then sit back to watch shooting stars light up the sky –⁠ and on a clear night, even the Milky Way. Or skip cooking entirely and head to Tavistock's traditional inn (thirteen-minute drive) for real ales and good upper-crust pub food. There's no rush home –⁠ those stars will be right there.

The Milky Way

Lie low for a while at this Devonshire countryside retreat, nestled deep within a sprawling 86-acre estate. This lovingly hand-crafted shepherd’s hut is meticulously designed throughout to offer every creature comfort you could imagine. Surprisingly spacious, expect pristine, restful interiors – all wrapped up in a whimsical feature wallpaper adding just the right touch of rural romance. Kickstart your day in the sleek, modern shower room, then curl up on the sofa to enjoy toast and freshly-brewed coffee – best served with those double doors wide open to take in the uninterrupted countryside vistas outside. As night falls, cosy up beside the firepit (which handily doubles as your barbeque for alfresco meals) for an evening of stargazing and marshmallow roasting – on a clear evening, you might even catch a shooting star. In chiller months, take things inside and pull up a pew at the granite-clad bar area as you rustle up a meal in the made-for-action kitchen. The wine fridge will keep your tipple perfectly chilled, while the underfloor heating will keep your toes toasty. Cosy up in front of the TV and while away an evening with a relaxing movie night. Should you ever wish to leave this charming nook for two, you’ll find the historic town of Tavistock is just a five-minute drive away, where you’ll find bustling shops, restaurants, and an award-winning gastro-pub complete with a sunny beer garden. Or up the ante and take off into the beautiful wilds of Dartmoor National Park and the Tamar Valley (both less than half an hour's drive away) – you’re perfectly placed equidistance from them both.

Situated in the parish of St Stephens, this old house is contemporary-yet-cosy, with a log-burning stove and an open-plan living area. One of the bedrooms can be set up as a twin or a king, making it a great choice for families. It's worth noting that there aren't any stairgates here, nor is there a fireguard, so young children will need extra supervision. You'll find a patio, a pergola, and a barbecue in the back garden, with space for kids to play and for grown-ups to relax. We think the location is lovely – you'll be just a two-minute walk from Launceston Golf Club, while Widemouth Bay and its beach are an easy drive away.

Private Parking

Cute and compact with beautiful views, this traditional Sheperd’s hut is the ideal spot for a refreshing countryside break. Located on the owner’s farm, you’ll find hiking and cycle trails straight from the door and Dartmoor National Park is within easy reach. Your host can also help arrange horse riding or fishing on the nearby lake (available on request). Pets are welcome to join you and private parking is included in your stay. It’s worth noting the decor is rustic and basic, but this is a great option for those looking to disconnect and savour life’s simple pleasures.

If you’re looking for a bohemian escape in Cornwall, then look no further. This rustic hideaway is perfect for a solo traveller or a couple looking to get in touch with the raw beauty of the Cornish countryside and who care most about the luxuries of the soul – great music, fantastic light, the roar of the waves. This snazzy barn conversion has bucketloads of character and soulful perks, including a piano, a record player with a vast collection of vinyl, and its own mini sauna. Throw in the super-king sized bed, a brand new bathroom (with bathtub) and kitchen, its location (snuggled away in ancient woodland), the fact that it’s just a five-minute drive to the nearest pub and beach at Crackington Haven, and you’ve got a rural retreat you’ll want to keep quiet about, so you can keep it for yourself.

Bursting with character, this cute-as-a-button barn conversion found on a forty-acre Cornish farm offers a real escape from the stresses of modern life. You'll have all the charming rustic touches you would hope for — exposed stone walls, a vaulted ceiling and a log burner — but there's a modern feel, and absolutely no chintz. You can slip into your own wood-fired hot tub just outside the back door, and the host has been thoughtful enough to provide a generous stack of logs to get you started. Meet the farm animals or set off alongside the private Nature Reserve to discover the private shingle beach on the River Tamar. Later, take advantage of some of the farm's other surprises — a communal games room with ping-pong, a shared tennis court, a hammock hidden away in the orchard, and a basketball hoop. With a number of extra activities also bookable, you can take part in a foraging workshop, try out stand-up paddleboarding or get involved in local wine tasting. Alternatively, you can drive to the port city of Plymouth in about forty minutes and visit the National Marine Aquarium.

Sitting in the middle of a thirty-acre farm in the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this barn conversion is a fittingly impressive home for such an idyllic location. 

There are plenty of spots from which you can gaze out at the pretty meadows, woodland and the banks of the River Tamar that surround the address, whether that's out through the floor-to-ceiling windows that line the main living space or while seated on the roof terrace bordered by a leafy pergola. However, the home's interior is well worth your attention, too. Certain features have been retained from the building's industrious past, including wooden ceiling beams and exposed stonework, but otherwise, the design is bright and contemporary.

The number of amenities available to guests distinguishes this home from the pack. Not only is there a homely wood-burning stove in the main space, but there's a games room with a ping-pong table and darts board in a section that was once a cattle shed, plus lots of equipment for outdoor games beside the forecourt and lawned area. Here you will find tables, benches and additional seating for your exclusive use and space to stoke up barbecues and challenge the group to a variety of games.

Elsewhere on the site, there are the ruins of a silver and lead mine accompanied by the pumping engine house and smithy, part of the industrial landscape recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are other footpaths that lead off into the countryside, but you can also stroll down to the banks of the River Tamar, on which there's a two-hour window every day when it's safe to use it for water sports.

This B&B suite in peaceful St. Kew is connected with the very best that North Cornwall has to offer. Here, you’re only a fifteen-minute drive from Polzeath Beach and twenty-five minutes from Tintagel Castle – the imposing keep that inspired the myth of King Arthur. Your 16th-century cottage also feels a little magical in its own way, from the gorgeous tree-shaded setting to the exposed timber beams inside the home. Just like in the days of yore, you’ll have homemade bread and preserves left out for your breakfast in the morning. After long country walks on sunny afternoons, the 15th-century St. Kew Inn next door serves up seasonal dishes, Cornish ales and weekly live folk music. And when it’s time to call it a night, fluffy dressing gowns and a dreamy king-size bed await.

If the gentle trickle of water helps you relax and you're a lover of the great outdoors, this fabulous home is sure to delight you. Right next to a narrow part of the River Harbourne, which leads to the Dart, it's a converted fruit barn with bags of character and more than its fair share of chic styling. 

Built around 1825 and once a rubble ruin, the home has been completely modernised, with plenty of contemporary luxuries blending with the building's original structures. We love the extended kitchen and dining space, where beams and exposed stone walls give way to gunmetal grey patio doors and a glass ceiling.

Designed to be cosy for four but with the option of adding two children in the spacious master suite, it's a beautiful home with several standout features. As well as the modern log burner in the sitting room, there's the private garden beside the river, the high-spec kitchen, glamorous bathrooms and comfy beds. Plus a friendly local host who'll be on hand with tips and recommendations about the area.

On the outskirts of a village near Totnes, you'll be ideally positioned to access all of the South Hams easily by car. And keen walkers can head off to Totnes, Tuckenhay, Cornworthy and more. There are two good pubs within walking distance and the nearby Sharpham Estate has a great farm shop.

Serene views, sleek interiors and seemingly impossible design elements come together to make an architectural feat of a home on Devon's coastline. The hosts built this home from the ground up – pulling up outside you'll immediately get the sense you're about to stay somewhere unique. And you'll get the personal touch too, as host Deborah and her family love to greet every guest on arrival. Style-wise, this home is equal parts classy and edgy; velvet upholstery and faux-fur throws contrast with neon signs and curious light fixtures in the bedrooms. The pièce de résistance is the gravity-defying fireplace in the living area, nothing short of a showstopper. You'll want to explore every room in depth to make sure you haven't missed anything. This is a level of design you might not necessarily expect from a sleepy part of coastal Devon – but that's part of the home's beauty. It's the perfect retreat for those seeking total tranquility in exceptional surroundings. 

The Early Risers

Fancy a romantic getaway with a twist? This upside-down home places a firelit living area above the bedroom, where the en-suite bathtub enjoys a framed view of the creek. Upstairs, we think the waterside terrace might inspire a paddle to Salcombe – made easy by the three-seater kayak your host provides. It's worth noting that there is a bit of a hike to the front door here (thirty-six steps, to be precise), so this home won't be the best option for everyone. 

The Great Outward

Paid Parking On Street

This seventeeth–century property overlooks the sparkling blue waters of the seaside town, Brixham. Situated next to the charming harbour, you're only a short stroll away from the waterside. Head up the three-tiered garden to admire the view from atop. You'll be greeted with clear skies, the hum of the waters, and the sounds of the harbour. 

The large windows throughout the home light up the space as you play on the vintage arcade table that offers the classical Space Invaders and Pacman. Whoever gets to sleep in the Captain's Cabin bedroom gets a gorgeous view of the surrounding harbour right from the comfort of their own bed – imagine waking up next to that blissful sight every morning.

The beautiful yet convenient location makes this the perfect place to reside on a family getaway to a seaside town. There's a fantastic selection of eateries by the harbour front as well as a cosy pub that serves delicious local produce. Wander the streets of Brixham to discover a ton of local hidden gems and treat yourself to sugary sweet treats and savory snacks.

Located in the picturesque village of Harrowbarrow, with sweeping views of the Cornish countryside and Tamar Valley, this Grade II-listed building is sure to impress. Inside, it’s thoroughly up to date with a sleek white and grey colour scheme. The double-height ceilings and clever use of glass make the place feel extra spacious and bright, while a wood-burning stove adds a sense of cosiness. When the weather is on your side, spill out onto the south facing patio for sunshine all day long. After a tasty barbecue lunch, ramble through Kit Hill Country Park or take the thirty-five-minute drive down to Tregantle Beach for wind-whipped walks along the unspoilt sands. Come home in the late afternoon, salty-haired and ravenous, and dig into hearty fare at the traditional pub, just a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep.

Set in fifty-five acres of rolling grounds, with woodland, landscaped gardens and views over the River Tamar, this stunning piece of history was built in 1698. Based on an even earlier fortified home, its turrets and striking architecture mean it's always been referred to as 'the castle'. With grand hallways, antique furniture and character features at every turn, this really could be your own stately home for a time. Fit for a large group or an extended family – perhaps celebrating a special occasion – it's a joy to stay here at any time of year. The two drawing rooms have open fires for winter nights, while the solar-heated pool will delight during the summer. There's a huge dining table for celebration dinners, a games room with table football and a pool table, a barbecue and fire pit in the grounds, and eleven elegant bedrooms – each with private facilities. The perfect base from which to explore the West Country, it's easy to get to Dartmoor, the Devon and Cornwall coast and an abundance of pretty villages by car, while keen walkers can hike the nearby trails along the Tamar Valley or enjoy the many walks around the estate. Follow the paths down to the picturesque bathing hut on the quay, or up to original owner Sir James Tillie's mausoleum. It's a six-minute drive to one of the area's premier golf courses and just over twenty minutes into the centre of Plymouth.
