About this property

Perched in an elevated position on the award-winning Ladram Bay Holiday Park in Otterton, Devon is this lovely single-storey lodge, The Retreat. Benefitting from breath-taking, scenic coastal views, spectacular on-site facilities including a swimming pool, gym, entertainment centre, children's play area, soft play and crazy golf, an enclosed garden and exclusive access to a wonderful beach, The Retreat welcomes four guests, friends and families alike, to relish a seascape in Devon. Be welcomed by a large open-plan living space with a well-stocked kitchen where you can whip up a range of culinary delights ahead of settling down at the intimate dining seating for four to toast to a wonderful getaway over a bottle of fizz. If the weather permits, venture outside and enjoy alfresco mealtimes as the sun sets over in the distance, basking in your surroundings a little longer where you can marvel at panoramic views across the sea which stretch as far as Portland Bill. Retreat inside to a homely sitting room complete with TV, ideal for indulging a movie night or catching up on your favourite shows with your loved ones close. After a day at the beach, wash away the day's adventures in a sleek shower room before selecting from either a king-size or single bedroom to rest your head in. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic site and its amenities, commence your itinerary within the lovely surroundings of the East Devon AONB, beginning with a trip to Ladram Bay Beach or the Blue Flag winning Sandy Bay Beach where you can sunbathe, paddle in the shores or simply watch as the world passes by; close by, discover Bicton Park Botanical Gardens, World of Country Life and Hawkridge Bird of Prey Centre where you can experience a variety of feathered species’. Journey to the city of Exeter to find Crealy Theme Park and Resort, the magnificent Exeter Cathedral, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the 14th-century Underground Passages, in addition to a wealth of pubs, restaurants, bars and shops where you can savour dinner and drinks. Well-positioned to also explore Exmouth, Sidmouth and Lyme Regis, The Retreat is an idyllic spot where you can explore all the Devon has to offer.

This charming community with its collection of traditionally thatched roofed cottages is right out of a picture postcard, set back from the shore among the rolling green landscape and forested valleys of lovely East Devon. Just 3 miles from the Regency coastal resort towns of Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth, and one mile from the SW Coastal Path as it meanders above the waves toward the World Heritage Site "Jurassic Coast" beaches with their abundant fossils, this area offers a quieter but no less beautiful holiday destination than the rest of the county. It's the ideal place to unwind and relax. Only one mile separates us from Ladram Bay and its red-stone sea stacks. A 60-acre haven for garden enthusiasts, Bicton Park and Botanical Gardens is just down the road from the hamlet and has trails that follow the banks of the River Otter where fox, badger, and wildlife play. Visit the village's last operating flour mill on the River Otter for an entertaining hour or two; the flour is excellent. There is a lot to do and see in this lovely and unspoiled location, but if you wish to travel farther, Dartmoor's high tors and open spaces can be reached in less than an hour, and Exeter's cathedral city with its excellent retail centre, theatres, bars, and restaurants is only 10 miles away.

    The lodge was well appointed, comfortable and clean. Some lovely homely furnishings and some little extra treats left by the owners for Easter. Would definitely stay again!
