Wondering what a family holiday at Clawford Lakes is really like?

We recently welcomed the team from Family Holiday Collection for a three-night stay in our brand-new Heron Lodge, overlooking the lakes. Their visit was packed with some of the experiences that make a Clawford Lakes break so special – from kayaking on the water and unwinding in their private hot tub to enjoying the Lake Spa and exploring the beautiful beaches around Bude.

Travelling as a family and bringing their dog along too, they experienced Clawford Lakes from every angle, including our accommodation, family activities, food and drink, dog-friendly facilities and the surrounding Devon countryside.

They’ve now shared a wonderfully detailed and independent review of their stay, including plenty of useful tips for anyone considering a family holiday in Devon, a dog-friendly escape or a relaxing lakeside break.

Stay Somewhere Special

One of the newest ways to experience Clawford Lakes, our Heron Lodge brings together space, comfort and a fantastic lakeside setting.

This impressive 40ft x 20ft lodge is designed for relaxed family escapes, with contemporary interior, plenty of room to unwind and your own private hot tub, sauna and outdoor shower experience – perfect after a day spent exploring the resort.

Step outside and you have everything Clawford Lakes has to offer within easy reach. Spend your days fishing, kayaking or paddleboarding, make time for the Lake Spa and swimming pools, enjoy dinner and drinks at the Apple & Grape, or simply head back to your lodge, sink into the hot tub and enjoy a slower pace of life.

And, like all of our accommodation, dogs stay free, so there’s no need to leave your four-legged family members behind.

New lodge. Lakeside setting. Your next Clawford escape.
