Lakeside Retreat

Lakeside Retreat is a single-storey lodge at Finlake Holiday Park, around 2.2 miles from Chudleigh, a wooded setting with the park's own lake close by. Steps lead up to the lodge, so it's worth planning around if anyone in your group has mobility difficulties, and Finlake itself advises the same. Inside, vaulted ceilings and large windows open onto an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, with a woodland backdrop visible through the glazed doors.

The kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee maker and air fryer, and the sitting area has a Smart TV and WiFi. Three bedrooms sleep 6: a double with an en-suite shower room, and two twins sharing a family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. A highchair and travel cot are available on request.

Outside, the enclosed decking has rattan seating, outdoor dining furniture and a hot tub. Off-road parking is provided for one car. One well-behaved pet is welcome, and the lodge is no smoking throughout.

Finlake Holiday Park itself has fishing lakes, swimming pools, a gym, steam room, spa, adventure park, horse riding, tennis courts and a restaurant on site, all separate from the lodge. A shop is 2 miles away and a pub 1.7 miles, with the park's own lake just 0.4 miles from the door.
