About Vennlake

How's this for a cosy little Devon boltholes? The glamping lodge at Vennlake offers a peaceful countryside retreat that's refreshingly well-connected – just 15 minutes from Crediton along straightforward main roads (no winding single-track adventures here) and a quarter-hour from Dartmoor's wilds. A small supermarket sits a couple of minutes' walk away, handy for stocking the kitchenette.

Inside, everything's thoughtfully kitted out: wetroom, spacious living area with TV for lazy evenings, and a kitchenette sporting hotplate, microwave, kettle and fridge. Enjoy your treats curled on the sofa or out on the deck with fresh air and views. The site welcomes dogs year-round and motorcyclists, and with just a handful of pitches, tranquility comes guaranteed.

Vennlake's central position means either coast is reachable for day trips, while Exeter, fishing spots, riding stables and National Trust estates all lie close at hand. Though some may find the roadside approach less romantic than Devon's famous lanes, the convenience and peaceful setting more than compensate.

I stayed in the jack's bunkhouse. Quirky and cosy little place. Very peaceful. Was woken up in the morning by rustling of leaves, chirping of birds etc. The place has a hot plate, 2 chairs some basic picnic plates, small radiator everything you need to have a relaxing weekend away. There is a CoOp 2 minute walk away for all your essentials. Highly recommended. We will definately come again.

I stayed at Vennlake CL and Glamping Lodges with my friends and it was a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience. The glamping lodge was cosy, clean and very well equipped with a comfortable bed, kitchenette, seating area and a private bathroom, making it feel like a home away from home. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by Devon countryside, which was perfect for unwinding and spending quality time together. We loved sitting outside in the evening enjoying the views and fresh air. The location is also very convenient, with Dartmoor National Park only a short drive away and nearby towns like Crediton and Okehampton easy to reach for walks, food and sightseeing. The site is well maintained, quiet and felt very safe, and the hosts were friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was the perfect place for a calm getaway with friends and I would happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable glamping stay.
