Whitecroft Lake Reviews

Georgina

Absolutely amazing place. We will definitely be back again. BEAUTIFUL location, secluded and the lake is amazing, spent a lot of time paddle boarding and swimming (even in October!) Lovely scenic walks around the property and the facilities of the swimming pool, hot tub and sauna are a fantastic bonus! Its extremely well organised and the owners weRead morere extremely friendly on the phone when booking the pool/hot tub. 10/10 a fantastic place- we didnt want to leave. Hide

Tim

This is a special place. For a start the cabin is fantastic - a very appealing build with everything you need - but the beauty, tranquillity and privacy of the place is like nowhere else we've stayed (our two rescue dogs, who don't much enjoy meeting other people or dogs, would definitely agree!). It's a wonderful treat to have such space to roam -Read more and this was a wet October week; can't wait to try it in summer when jumping into the lake is more appealing! Owner Luke is a lovely chap. Thanks! Hide

Vicky

Lovely peaceful location perfect for my older dogs to swim and wonder feeling safe and relaxed. Wonderful to see them so happy and confident.

Joanne

Peace and tranquility! Being able to take our dog on holiday and allowing him to run free was awesome. The views across the lake and fields are just beautiful. We really enjoyed staying at this lovely place. The owner is also lovely.

Bev

Initially we were surprised that this was the only lodge at this location. We were expecting a few more to be on site.

The photos dont do justice to this gem of a property. Booked as a summer get away with my two boys aged 11 and 14.

We really enjoyed our stay here with our doggie! The place is beautiful and calm - would be great in the summer!SELECTED!,!ENDOFSELECTED! we enjoyed a BBQ and sat by the outdoor fire pit. The location means you are very secluded and its silent but also means a long drive from most places. Would definitely recommend!

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.

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.

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!
