The Lake House offers guests space, beauty & quiet. Unplug and enjoy the magic of nature! Gaze at the stars, watch the wildlife & relax in this truly private rural haven which is hidden in a valley, surrounded by fields & woods. It's a beautiful hand built 3 bedroom cabin with sociable living area, large decking, bbq, and hot tub. If you want to leave this idyll to explore there's lots of quaint local attractions within 30 minutes drive.
The Lake House is perfect for peace seekers and nature lovers who want to stay somewhere a little bit different and be truly off the beaten track. It's set on a private wildlife reserve so it's ideal for nature journalling, photographers and artists, as well as those genuinely looking for splendid isolation. Memories of pond dipping with the children, friends around the table, spotting a kingfisher or gazing at the amazing stars will be treasured.
The Lake House really lets you get away from it all. You'll have your own private paradise yet we are close to many tourist attractions, Exmoor and historic market towns like Tiverton and South Molton.
The spacious cabin has 3 bedrooms: a master with king sized bed and French doors opening onto the decking, a second bedroom with another king and a small children's room with bunk beds. This room is only suitable for children.
The bedrooms are all decorated in a simple and understated way. They all have bedside tables with drawers and hooks or a rail for hanging clothes.
There is a beautifully bijou bathroom with large shower and environmentally friendly toiletries.
The large open plan living area has Prime TV, a dvd player, mobile wifi and most importantly overlooks the lake. The beautiful homemade dining table is perfect for enjoying a home cooked meal and the large glass sliding door opens onto the decking so you can always admire the magnificent view and feel part of the great outdoors.
The decking has an outdoor dining area that seats 6 which is the prefect place to unwind after a day out and gaze at the stars. There's also an Outback gas BBQ so cooking outdoors is really easy. It's also home to the Canadian Spa Grand Rapids hot tub which is the perfect size for 2 adults (it's not suitable for children).
The lake it is not a fishing lake, except for the local otters, and it's unsuitable for wild swimming etc as this can harm the delicate ecosystem. If you enjoy fishing we have a carp fishing lake less than five minutes away (additional costs apply).
We hope children and adults alike will love this unique place and enjoy the opportunity to be surrounded by the magic of nature. We have provided lots of games and wildlife spotting/mini beast hunting activities for children as well as sun loungers, badminton and swing ball.
As the house is virtually on the lake, parking is just above the house and there is a short walk of approximately 50m along the grass and is slightly sloped. There are 3 steps to the decking and once inside it is all on one level. This glorious hidden gem off the beaten track so the last two miles are down single track lanes which are a bit bumpy and then a private farm track.
We hope to see you soon and welcome any questions, Ellen & Chris
