Property code: OC-L32389

Feel yourself completely decompress from the moment you arrive at this charming wooden cabin in Devon. Set in pretty woodland and overlooking a private lake, it offers the chance to escape the stresses and strains of your daily life. Situated at Roborough, 4 miles from Great Torrington, it sleeps four guests across two bedrooms and nestles on a cheerful farm, with a shared games room and friendly rescue animals.

Make your way across the lake via the bridge to your secluded oasis. Enter the log cabin to find its abundance of natural wood brings an immediate warm welcome. Throw open the doors to pull the gorgeous scenery right inside, then recline on the sofa. In the colder months, light the wood burner and cosy up in front of a boxset on the Smart TV. The sofa can be converted into a bed for alternative sleeping arrangements. Produce delicious Devon-inspired dishes within the well-equipped, handcrafted wooden kitchen, then dine together up at the oak breakfast bar. One of your bedrooms, a fabulous king-size, with a lovely, chunky log bed, is on the ground floor, together with a family shower room. Supervise the youngsters as they climb the steep wooden staircase to the delightful twin bedroom, which is beneath the roof and has some limited headroom. Watch for wildlife as you look out over the lake from the deck. Stroll back over the bridge to grill supper on the BBQ or toast marshmallows on the firepit. Challenge each other in the games room. There is private, off-road parking for two cars.

Pack your swimming costumes and venture 14 miles to the spectacular beach at Westward Ho! Head 14.5 miles to Appledore to browse in the shops and take the ferry across to Instow. Plan a day trip to Dartmoor, 20.5 miles away.
