Foxglove Lodge is a single-storey property on the Higher Shorston Lakes and Lodges estate, a 19-acre working site near the market town of Holsworthy in Devon. The whole lodge is yours alone, sleeping six across three bedrooms: a double with ensuite, a kingsize, and two singles. The second bathroom has a bath with shower. Ground-floor living is open plan, with a woodburner, French doors onto decking, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking. One dog stays free, and the grounds include a play area, nature walks, and coarse fishing (you'll need a licence).
The enclosed garden has a decked terrace, sitting-out space, and a barbecue. Parking for one car is on site. Essentials like electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi are included. The lodge sits just a mile from Holsworthy's shops and pubs. Bude and Widemouth Bay—with their beaches, coves and coastal paths—are ten miles away. Note that there are two steps into the garden, and a fenced lake lies about ten yards from the property.

Lovely CAMC CL site with 4 pitches plus 3 holiday lodges. Pitches overlook a huge open green area with small park. Site is immaculately tidy with well kept trees and lawns. There are 3 fishing lakes on site and some walk areas. Very quiet and dark night site. Access is tight but manageable (fine with a 8m touring caravan and pick up truck). Pitches are accessed off a slope and could benefit from a 4x4. Pitch 1 has its own seating area and is the top of the slope but will be under tree shadows later in the evenings. Pitch 2 appears to be ‘best’. Pitch 3 & 4 has the Elsan and grey water point between them next to your grassed area. Each site has a gravel pitch plus a grassed area.

Stayed for a week towards end of March. Amazing place and very warm welcome on arrival. Large lodge, with everything you could want in a self accommodation. Requested a high chair and cot, which was waiting for when we arrived. Never used the cot in the e d but the high chair was enjoyed by our 7 month old. Good location, few minutes drive from nearest town, but being in the lodge you’d think you were nestled deep in the countryside, surrounded by ducks, geese and chickens. Hopefully, look at staying here again in the future, would very much recommend.

Our first reaction of Primrose lodge was 'WOW'. the lodge was bright, spacious and absolutely spotless. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything in good working order. The outside patio area is perfect for sitting out appreciating the beautiful countryside and lakes including the on site entertainment team i.e. the geese with their regular fly over and lake landing, and the hilarious ducks who sound as if they are laughing with each other, this made us chuckle out loud. The grounds are very neat tidy and maintained to a very high standard. Fishing was great here all nice looking fish in pristine condition. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and genuinely appreciate people enjoying their property. we could easily spend the whole summer here. Paul, Sarah and John.

A beautiful setting, and the lodges had everything we needed! The fishing was great, close to the town, perfect for dog walking and also only 15 mins drive from Bude. Owners were kind and helpful, and we would thoroughly recommend a stay here. We're already thinking of going back! Thank you Kizzy and Brett, we loved it!
