General
- Family-run Devon smallholding with eco-friendly amenities
- Exmoor Zoo, Saunton Sands and Westward Ho! within 45 minutes' drive
- Beach area on the River Taw for swims, canoes and paddleboards
A little slice of heaven in Devon, say the owners… and it’s pretty easy to see why. Lakemoor’s location is indeed rather dreamy, on the banks of the River Taw (with a beach area giving access for swims, paddles and launching kayaks or paddleboards) and with a lake thrown in for good measure too.
This is a family-run smallholding spread over five acres, which you’ll share with the resident goats, geese and chickens. There’s plenty of ground to go around though, so you’ll have ample space for things like games, campfires (in the firepits provided, please), barbecues and generally scampering about in the open air.
Now, if you lived in a place like this you’d want to do your best to preserve it as it should be, right? And so it is with the Lakemoor team too: this is an eco-friendly place with compost toilets, recycling and solar lighting, plus pick-ups for those travelling by public transport (Eggesford railway station is a couple of minutes’ drive away).
Despite its rural outlook, this is a site that’s surprisingly easy to access, as it’s just off the A377 Exeter to Barnstaple road (and a little over half an hour’s drive from both). Local settlements are somewhat smaller, but guests have access to a village shop, pub and curry house in the villages of Chawleigh and Chumleigh (both about five minutes’ drive away).

Local attractions
Time out in the open air here can be spent playing golf (there’s an 18-hole course five minutes away in Chumleigh), taking walks through the hundred-year old Eggesford Forest (five minutes’ drive) or tackling the Tarka Trail by bike – the UK’s longest off-road cycle trail passes handily close to the site.
There’s no fishing in the river on site, so if you want to give your angling kit some action, you’ll need to head to Stafford Moor Fishery (15 minutes). If you’d rather head inside for some watery activity, there’s a pool in South Molton (20 minutes) – while you’re here, pay a visit to the Quince Honey Farm for beekeeping demonstrations and a great soft play area.
To meet bigger creatures, take yourselves to Watertown Llamas (10 minutes) or choose something a bit more exotic with an outing to Exmoor Zoo (40 minutes). Or of course you could swap countryside time for coast time – the beaches at Saunton Sands and Westward Ho! are about a 45-minute drive from Lakemoor.
