About this property
Willow is a lakeside lodge near Dolton, offering a relaxing countryside escape with a private hot tub, elevated lake views and direct access to beautiful Devon landscapes. Ideal for families, couples travelling together, and dog owners, it combines outdoor living with a wonderfully restorative setting. The spacious open-plan living area forms the heart of the lodge, with room to cook, dine and unwind together after days spent exploring.

Winding lanes, high hedgerows and a gentler pace of life characterise the area. The open tors of Dartmoor are a big attraction for nature lovers and walkers, while the hills of Exmoor and the surfing beaches are all a short but scenic drive away. Historic Torrington, home to RHS Rosemoor and an arts centre is within easy reach, whilst the cathedral city of Exeter with its Roman city walls, shopping centre, theatre and restaurants, makes a great day out. Other towns worth a visit include Barnstaple, Copplestone and Okehampton. For a slice of rural England in the heart of idyllic Devon, make sure you pay a visit to Dolton.
