Kestrel Lodge 15 at Clovelly Lakes is a spacious three-bedroom lodge set directly on the water's edge of the lower lake, accessed via two steps up to a large balcony. Step inside to the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, where a well-equipped kitchen offers an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge / freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, perfect for whipping up family feasts without missing a moment of lakeside life. The dining space flows effortlessly into the lounge, comfortably furnished with contemporary sofas and soft furnishings, inviting you to relax in front of the TV with a glass of something cold after a day's adventuring.
Heading outside, the generous balcony is where holiday memories are made, ideal for al fresco dining, barbecues right at the water's edge, and watching the sun dip below the lake in a wash of gold. Three bedrooms offer restful retreats: two doubles, one with glorious lake views, and a cosy bunk room also overlooking the water, ideal for children. A bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and WC, plus a separate shower room with WC, complete the accommodation, while ample off-road parking on site makes arrival effortless.
Imagine mornings watching mist rise gently from the lake, kingfishers darting past as you sip coffee on your balcony. Spend lazy afternoons fishing from the water's edge, complimentary across all five lakes, or wander the forty-acre grounds and surrounding woodland trails. As dusk falls, gather for a barbecue by the water, the sky awash with colour, before settling in for an evening of games and laughter, memories made to last a lifetime.
