Whitecroft Lake Reviews

Sue
The accommodation is small, but comfortable. It is in a beautiful location and is very peaceful. There is lots of wildlife around. If there has been a lot of rain or rain is forecast you will need your wellies as the ground was very marshy, muddy and wet underfoot.
Barnaby
Incredible location by an idyllic lake. Enclosed area for the dog to wander and a great base to get to a variety of beaches from.
Jackie
Fabulous! A little bit of heaven in Devon! The pod was really well equipped, clean and had an extremely comfortable bed. We loved the setting and we couldn't believe we had so much peace and privacy. It was lovely having the pool to ourselves and Luke always replied to messages promptly. It was wonderful seeing our dog leaping through the grass andRead more playing and great waking up to such an idyllic view. Be prepared to have the post holiday blues upon your return, Whitecroft Lake is wonderful! Hide
Laura
What an absolute gem of a holiday. We have just returned home and cant wait to rebook. The shepherds hut is great, set in your own 50 acres of land, over looking the lake. It is so peaceful and quiet, Rabbits, deer, owls right outside. Its fully equipped with everything you need and more, deck chairs, fire pit, kitchen utensils. I paddle boarded on the lake everyday, luckily we had a heatwave! We didnt use the pool as was on the beach everyday. Book this right now, you wont regret it!

We were looking for a relaxing holiday and we were not disappointed, the lodge is in the middle of acres of green fields with two lakes a waterfall and lots of wildlife. The owners could not have been more helpful, we would definitely recommend if you are looking to get away for a relaxing break. It is a 10 minute drive to the nearest town and 20 m inutes to Bude where there some great coffee shops and supermarkets.
