We had such a lovely stay at Clovelly Lakes. All the lodges have some privacy but we stayed in Goldfinch Lodge which was partly facing the bushes which gave us more privacy. Being a cabin we were worried it might get cold at night but the heating was superb and at kept us well cozy. The actual cabin has all the equipme t you'll need to cook and eatRead more. There is also a laundry facility on site with a washing machine and separate dryer. There are also DVDs, puzzles, and books you can borrow. Hide

Clovelly Lakes was a gem of a find. I booked the property because we wanted to take our dog with us for a holiday as well, but for people who love to fish it would be heaven on earth.

This is a lovely retreat. Fishing was awesome and the lodge perfect for our needs. It is more for the fishing fraternity rather than families with little ones as there isnt anything for them on the site. Would definitely say to go whether you are a fisherman or not though, it is a good base for North Devon. Bude, Biddeford, Westward Ho!, Instow andRead more Appledore in easy reach and supermarkets about a 10 minute drive away. Hide
