The property

Chudleigh 2.2 miles.

Lakeside Retreat is an appealing single-storey lodge at Finlake Holiday Park, Devon, with private parking for one car, enclosed decking, a hot tub and a bright open-plan layout.

From the first step onto the deck, the lodge has an easy holiday rhythm, with outdoor seating ready for sunny breakfasts, drinks after a swim or a soak beneath the evening sky.

Inside, the vaulted living space feels light and open, with woodland glimpses through generous windows and glazed doors.

The kitchen sits at the heart of the room, equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee maker and air fryer, so mealtimes can be as simple or as sociable as you choose.

Gather at the dining table, stretch out in front of the Smart TV, then retreat to three neatly arranged bedrooms: a double with its own en-suite shower room and two twin rooms served by a family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower.

Days at Finlake can be shaped around the pace of your group.

Cast a line at the coarse fishing lakes, follow the woodland walks, book into the spa, swim at the pools, try tennis or horse riding, or choose activities such as archery and Segway adventures.

Beyond the resort, Chudleigh places you close to Dartmoor scenery, with Haytor and Canonteign Falls offering big-view walks and waterway drama.

Newton Abbot adds a classic Devon market-town day out, with indoor market stalls and Stover Country Park for an easy wander among trees and lakes.

When sea air calls, Teignmouth brings a sandy beach, pier, lido and a ferry across the estuary to Shaldon.

Make the most of resort life, countryside and coast from Lakeside Retreat.
