Oak Tree Lodge

About this property

Dartmouth 3.4 miles. Oak Tree Lodge is a charming two-storey lodge in Ash, Devon, featuring a private lawn beneath a centuries-old oak tree, a woodburning stove, free parking, and an imaginative family-friendly layout. Suitable for families and couples alike, this distinctive retreat offers a memorable base for exploring the South Devon countryside and coast.

Open the bifold doors and step into a bright open-plan living space where warm timber finishes, white panelling, and nautical-inspired touches create plenty of character. A glowing woodburning stove sits in the corner, making the sitting area an inviting spot to gather with a book, board game, or an evening film. Along the rear wall, the well-equipped kitchen includes everything needed for preparing holiday meals, while thoughtful decorative details add personality throughout the space.

Behind a privacy curtain, one king-size bedroom enjoys views across the surrounding fields through a porthole-style window. A ground-floor shower room sits conveniently nearby. A spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where a second king-size bedroom nestles beneath the curved ceiling. Younger guests will quickly discover the playful den complete with beanbags, an Xbox, games, and a wooden push-along car, creating a fun hideaway all of their own.

Outside, the garden is a real highlight. Stretching out beneath the sprawling oak tree, the private lawn leads to a covered outdoor lounge adorned with hanging planters, alongside a fire pit and barbecue for evenings spent outdoors.

Days out are plentiful across South Devon. Explore nearby Dartmouth, where historic streets lead down to the waterfront, Dartmouth Castle overlooks the River Dart, and boat trips reveal beautiful estuary scenery. Spend a day at Blackpool Sands, a popular family beach backed by evergreens and ideal for waterside adventures. Visit Totnes to browse independent shops, explore Totnes Castle, and wander beside the River Dart. Whether discovering the coastline or enjoying time beneath the oak tree, Oak Tree Lodge provides a delightful base for your Devon getaway.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
