A spacious open plan design with kitchen, dining and lounge area as ground floor. Modern wet room with underfloor heating throughout. An oak staircase leads to the large mezzanine with Kingsize bed for ultimate comfort and pure cotton linen. High roof beams and open rafters give this area the 'wow' factor. A large patio window then opens onto a spacious balcony offering 180 degree views over Devon's unspoilt land where you can sit, dine or watch the night sky.
There are 13 acres to explore with two large ponds with sitting areas. Wildflowers are in abundance. Last year West Lake gained a 'Silver Award' from the Devon Wildlife Trust for demonstrating that the farm is working for the benefit of Devon's wildlife. Our culm grasslands are part of a 'Potential County Wildlife Site' forming an area of significant wildlife interest. This year we have continued wildflower planting and developed a Farm Wildlife trail with interpretation sheets to guide you through the varied habitats and help you enjoy your stay.
View over the orchard's newly planted 100 apple and cider trees. Devon varieties have been especially selected. Also one of the views from the balcony.
