Lakeview Manor

Lakeview Manor | Dog Friendly Lodge Breaks and Country Manor Hotel in Dunkeswell, Devon

Tucked away in 45 acres of glorious private parkland beneath the rolling Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Lakeview Manor is an idyllic location for a well deserved holiday break in the Devon countryside. With a traditional Country Manor hotel and a choice of luxury lakeside lodges, it is easy to plan a short break or longer stay with space, independence and a true sense of peace and quiet.

Stay your way
Choose between hotel stays with dining in the dog friendly Dabbling Duck Restaurant and Bar and complimentary breakfast, or immerse yourself in the tranquil estate with a stay in a luxury lodge. Lodge stays offer the freedom of your own space, with modern, open plan comfort, floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy the view, and all the home-from-home essentials you need. Luxury lakeside lodges sleep between 2 to 6, with pet-friendly options available.

Dog-friendly stays made simple
At Lakeview Manor, dogs are very welcome in selected accommodation. Pets go free all year round, and up to 3 dogs can join you, so there is no need to find a dog-sitter. Book a pet-friendly hotel room, a family suite, or a dog-friendly lodge and enjoy a relaxed break where your dog is as welcome as you are.

Dogs stay for free at all of our resorts, with no additional charges for bringing your four legged friends along on your holiday. We even donate to charity for every booking made with a dog staying, helping to support good causes while you enjoy your break. To make travelling easier, pet beds are available to hire for a small fee, so there’s no need to bring everything from home, and dogs receive a small welcome gift on arrival to help them settle in.

Room to roam on the estate
Your well-behaved dogs will love exploring the sights and smells across the 45-acre estate, with plenty of walks and open parkland to enjoy. There is also a new fenced, off-lead dog play area, designed as a secure space where dogs can run, play and explore while you relax in peaceful surroundings.

Hot tubs, fresh air and downtime
If you are planning a hot tub getaway, Lakeview Manor is made for switching off. Sink into the bubbles with the sights and sounds of nature around you, then enjoy a cosy evening back in your lodge. A hot tub lodge break is ideal after a day outdoors, whether you are here for a romantic weekend, a fishing trip, or time away with family and friends.

Food, drink and on-site facilities
For a casual lunch, evening meal or afternoon tea, the on-site Dabbling Duck Restaurant and Bar is the perfect venue in a wonderful setting in East Devon. With tranquil open parkland, pristine gardens and individual lodges, you can enjoy the space and independence you want, with peace of mind throughout your stay.

Explore East Devon and beyond
Lakeview Manor is located in the heart of East Devon, just 6 miles from the market town of Honiton and only 15 miles from the sea, with the M5 Junction 27 just 12 miles away. Quiet lanes, rolling hills and coastal paths make it easy to fill your days with fresh air and new views. Just 16 miles away you will find the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with 96 miles of beaches and footpaths stretching from Exmouth towards Studland Bay in Dorset.

Helpful dog guidelines
To help everyone enjoy their break, guests are asked to keep dogs on a lead outside off-lead areas, keep dogs under control around children, not leave dogs alone in accommodation, and not allow them onto beds or seats. Please clean up after your pet and use the poo bins around the park, and check the terms and conditions for dogs not accepted.
