Nestled along the shoreline of the main fishing lake at Bulworthy Forest Lodges, The Hideaway lives up to its name, offering a peaceful woodland retreat where nature takes centre stage. Surrounded by trees and thoughtfully positioned to provide privacy from neighbouring lodges, it is a place to slow down, switch off and enjoy the calming rhythm of lakeside life.
Sleeping up to four guests across a double and a twin bedroom, this charming timber lodge is ideal for couples, small families or friends seeking a relaxing North Devon escape. The enclosed veranda sits right beside the water, creating a wonderful vantage point for spotting wildlife. During the breeding season, blue tits often nest opposite the lodge, while the lake attracts a variety of birds throughout the year, making every day feel connected to the natural world.
