Found at the end of its very own driveway, Willow Lodge is every inch the family escape in the countryside. Set amidst six acres of sun-dappled woodland, this contemporary lodge has everything you need for a family escape to remember. Let’s start with that tempting sunken hot tub on your decking…perfect for forgetting everything but the sounds of the breeze in the trees and that glass of bubbly beside you…

The table and chairs on the decking mean you can dine al fresco and enjoy those lake views. And back inside, the stylish fitted kitchen will make cooking for the clan a pleasure. Floor to ceiling windows fill the living space with light, and we love the way the open plan design means you can spend time together without feeling crowded. The log burning stove adds a cosy feel to evenings, and just imagine stepping out of the hot tub and into the living space for a family film night.

If you’re hoping to strike a romantic note, the four-poster bed in the master bedroom makes this lodge extra special. Draped in beautiful fabric for a fairytale feel, you’d be forgiven for staying in bed for the whole of your stay! Willow Lodge has a modern décor throughout. Whether you’re planning a special break for two or some time as a family, it has a welcoming feel that will make you feel instantly at home.

The South View Lodges resort is all about lakeside living in six acres of quiet woodland. Spend your days wandering around the lake, or rambling in the surrounding countryside while you enjoy your escape. The city of Exeter’s just a short drive away too, so you’ll never be far from a shopping spree or a spot of fine dining. You name it, Exeter has it, so there’s something to suit every kind of visitor. And when you return to the lodge, make sure the kids check out the play area beside it – perfect for building their own wig wams!

Important Information

  • The lodge accepts one dog. Two small dogs may be accepted if requested at the time of booking
  • Please be aware that this lodge is 25 meters from the lake so children will need to be supervised. To the side of the lodge there is a lovely area for children to explore and collect sticks and build wigwams!
  • This lodge is 100% wheelchair accessible and we have recently made a path from the lodge down to the lake and put in a concrete fishing swim making it accessible to all.

We had a fabulous time at Willow Lodge. Jill was the perfect host. Great communication and very responsive. Check in and checkout went smooth as silk. Will always remember the the great view from the back porch and the ultra-soothing hot tub.
