Enjoy a UK short break in our beautiful apartments, lodges and cocoon tents

Stay at Clawford Lakes for a short break and enjoy a choice of the most amazing accommodation in Devon. If glamping is your thing, wait ‘til you see our new Cocoons. Bringing Californian glamour to l’il old Devon they are exclusively available at Clawford Lakes and nowhere else in the UK. Part glamping pod and part timber-framed luxury lodge, they overlook the lake and offer a totally unique glamping experience. Alternatively, choose an apartment with views, or a luxury lodge beside the lake, complete with outdoor hot tub. Or how about a lodge actually on the lake? Stay in a floating lodge and relax to the sounds of the water gently lapping. And if you’re here for the fishing, stay in style in one of our comfortable lake pods, where you can get cosy after a day at the water’s edge. All our accommodation has dog-friendly options, so bring your pooch – there’s 80 acres of walks before you even venture out into the rest of Devon and Cornwall. Your short break is all about relaxing, so enjoy the onsite spa and pool, book a table at the restaurant to keep you out of the kitchen and spent time simply immersing yourself in nature, listening to the birdsong and enjoying the views.

UK Short Breaks Holidays to Suit Your Getaway Needs

With a range of exciting accommodation, onsite activities and a great location, Clawford Lakes ticks all the boxes for a short break, whatever your getaway needs. If you are escaping for a romantic break, come for a spa break, staying in an apartment or lodge with a hot tub and relaxing in the Scandinavian style spa, complete with infinity swimming pool, steam room and treatment rooms. If a short family holiday is on the cards, how can you resist a fabulous cocoon beside the lake – the children will love it!  With 17 lakes, and some of the best carp fishing in Devon, stay for a fishing holiday in comfortable lake pods where you can gather to share stories about the one that got away. Whether it’s a weekend break or a longer midweek break, there’s no better location than Clawford Lakes. Oh, and bring the dog too, we’re one of the most dog–friendly holiday resorts in Devon.

Things to do on a short break at Clawford Lakes

Clawford Lakes is situated on the Devon and Cornwall border. This special location means you can take a short break and explore both counties. We’re under half an hour away from the bustling Cornish seaside resort of Bude, where you can enjoy the full bucket-and-spade experience. We’re also close enough to visit the pretty harbour villages of Port Isaac and Clovelly. If you are on a family break, action and adventure is never far away, from the Ultimate Adventure Park  and Milky Way Adventure Park at Bideford to Freewave Surf Academy in Bude and The Hidden Valley Discovery Park at Launceston. Bring your walking boots to enjoy exploring the moors, coastal paths and country trails, such as Ruby Country and Dartmoor. Great places to eat include the Rydon Inn in Holsworthy; the Molesworth Arms in Wadebridge, and Rick Stein’s fish and chips at Padstow. Back at Clawford Lakes, there’s 80 acres to explore, a luxury spa and swimming pool and the Apple and Grape restaurant serving up freshly cooked meals using local ingredients. And if you are an angler, it’s a great choice for a  fishing holiday, with no fewer than 17 lakes and some great carp fishing.

Enjoy short breaks with a hot tub

For a short break that’s relaxing, fun and good for your wellbeing, a hot tub is a must. Stay in one of our modern ground floor apartments and throw open the doors to your own outdoor hot tub, where you can relax in the rural setting. Choose a luxury lodge or holiday home where your hot tub is beside the lake and you can watch kingfishers and dragonflies as you enjoy the bubbles. Have a dip before breakfast, feel it soothe your aching limbs after a day’s activities, or sink into the bubbles and watch the stars come out at night. A hot tub is the perfect addition to any short break, turning it into a memorable spa break. Whether you’re staying for a weekend break or coming for a few days during the week, a hot tub adds the wow factor to your break and it’s ready to jump into whenever you wish. You’ll wonder how you ever settled for a break without a hot tub!
