Escape for a relaxing self-catering holiday at Otter Falls in Devon, where you can stay in a traditional stone cottage or a luxury lakeside lodge situated at the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Hidden away in the idyllic Devon countryside and yet just a few miles from the major road networks, Otter Falls is a little slice of Devon heaven, perfect for a self-catering holiday. Choose one of our Cosy Cottages, converted from a Victorian farmstead or opt for a Luxury Lodge overlooking the lake. Bring the whole family, and don’t forget, this is a dog friendly self-catering holiday too, so no one’s left at home.
As soon as you arrive, you can start to unwind, with the soothing sights and sounds of nature all around you, while on your doorstep is the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
There’s something for everyone to enjoy at Otter Falls, from the tennis courts and children’s play area to the fabulous indoor swimming pool, as well as free bike hire, fishing on the lake and a lovely bar & bistro, the Tickled Trout, making it perfect for a self-catering  Devon holiday.
Stay in a characterful self-catering cottage, with exposed beams that speak of history alongside details such as the flat screen TV bringing things nicely up to date. With a fully equipped modern kitchen, meals are a joy to prepare and there’s plenty of room around the table for everyone.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic cottage for two or a family cottage for up to 10, you can find the perfect self-catering holiday at Otter Falls. Choose a cottage with its own private outdoor hot tub for the ultimate luxury. The cottages sit around a pretty courtyard, with its vintage milk cart and flower-filled tubs that add colour and fragrance throughout the summer. Each cottage also has its own sperate patio where you can sit and enjoy the views and some have enclosed gardens. When the weather’s colder, the central heating kicks in and some of the cottages have log burners to make you extra cosy.
If you love the idea a self-catering lodge holiday, you’re in luck! Our stylish Finnish pine-log lodges are spacious, comfortable and enjoy views over the fishing lakes and across the picturesque Otter Valley beyond. Choose a one, two or three-bedroom lodge and enjoy all the home comforts and convenience you need for a wonderful self-catering holiday. When the sun is shining, sit out on the decking overlooking the lake and when the weather’s colder, snuggle inside in front of the cosy log burner. If your ideal self-catering holiday includes a hot tub, we’ve got that covered too, and you can sink into the bubbles with the sights and sounds of nature around you.
Otter Falls is ideal for a fun-filled family holiday. Our dog-friendly self-catering holidays mean that everyone is welcome, including your four-legged friend. The children will love splashing about in the indoor swimming pool or using up their energy in the playground and there are plenty of open spaces for games, picnics and simply sitting in the sunshine.
The fishing lakes are exclusively available to guests (weekly, daily or half day fishing passes can be purchased), so that’s a peaceful afternoon or two sorted, and if you’re looking for a more energetic pastime, bring your racquets (or hire ours for free) for a challenge on the tennis courts, or take advantage of free bike hire to explore our beautiful 40-acre estate and the Devon countryside around us.
