If you’re looking for the perfect base to explore East Devon then you’ve come to the right place. Located in the peaceful village of Dunkeswell, Hornbeam Lodge Escape offers a calming escape within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops and a friendly social club.
The well-appointed lodges come with spacious decking areas so you can make the most of outdoor living. Choose a hot tub lodge and you can bubble away in complete privacy. If you prefer to cosy up indoors, opt for one of our log burner lodges where you can relax in front of the fire.
Each lodge has been well-equipped with dishwashers and washing machines, towels and bedding. We are dog friendly too and don’t charge extra for your pets, so your four-legged family member can have a holiday too. Plus, our landscaped grounds include access to Abbotswood Shaw, 40 acres of established, ancient woodland. Ideal for those holidaying with dogs in tow, there’s a lake set in the woodlands and numerous trails to explore with plenty of wildlife to watch for including songbirds, owls and woodland mammals.
For those keen to see the local area, the historic market town of Honiton is just 6 miles away whilst the cathedral city of Exeter is only slightly further afield. Walkers will love the wilds of Dartmoor National Park or the Blackdown Hills where no two days are ever the same. Lace up your boots and set off on foot to discover these rugged moorland landscapes, strewn with Bronze Age and Neolithic settlements.
Beach lovers will also be spoilt for choice as the world-renowned English Riviera is also within easy reach. Its miles of gently undulating cliffs make for some spectacular coastal walks whilst the plethora of soft, sandy beaches are the perfect way to while away an afternoon.
The local area also has an incredible gastro scene, playing host to celebrity chefs, quality local producers and superb independent local eateries. Taste your way along the Seafood Coast, tour vineyards and try your hand at gin making or simply sit back, relax and dine on some of the nation’s finest seafood.
With an enviable location close to the area’s highlights, Hornbeam Lodge Escape is perfectly placed to enjoy a holiday in Devon.
