Finlake Resort and Spa

Nestled in the Devon countryside a short distance from Dartmoor National Park, is Finlake Resort & Spa. This delightful holiday park lies roughly halfway between two of the county’s major destinations – the town of Torquay and the city of Exeter – and is well placed for exploring the area.

There are plenty of on-site amenities to enjoy while here, including a restaurant, cafe and bar, plus a fitness centre and spa, a full-sized tennis court and a heated outdoor pool. If that’s not enough, there are many other activities available such as horse riding, fishing and archery.

The lodges are designed to effortlessly blend in with their natural surroundings. Some of them have a standard lodge design, whereas others have more of a Scandinavian style and feature large A-frame roofs. All of them have plenty of space and all the facilities to make your time here extremely comfortable. The lodges also come with decor that’s tasteful and minimal throughout. There’s an open-plan living, kitchen and dining area where you can prepare and enjoy tasty meals with family or friends. If you need to stock up on anything, the on-site shop should have you sorted.

While there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied at the resort, be sure to take time to explore Devon. Dartmoor National Park is well worth visiting if you’re into nature or you’re a fan of outdoor activities. The charming town of Torquay is a bustling seaside resort that attracts many people from near and far, while Exeter is a vibrant, modern city with an intriguing history and lots of great attractions to discover. When you’re done for the day, spend some time soaking in your hot tub.
