Lamastar

North Devon's quiet corners suit those after a genuine escape. Lamastar sits within Hartland Forest Holiday Park, a 114-acre spread where a handful of lodges are scattered far enough apart to feel genuinely isolated. The grounds hold a fishing lake—rod licence required—and the detached lodge itself comes with its own parking, decking and garden space to settle into.

The property runs all on one level: a double bedroom and a twin, one bathroom plus a separate toilet, and a living room with patio doors onto the deck. The kitchen handles everyday cooking. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included. One dog travels free and you'll find a dog crate on hand. The area puts you within reach of Woolfardisworthy's pub and chip shop, and slightly further lie Hartland's village amenities, Clovelly, Hartland Abbey and the coastal paths that draw people here. There is a lake in the grounds, so that matters if you have young children.
