Planning a family holiday this Autumn? Consider choosing an adventure on Dartmoor with a lodge stay at the award-winning Bovey Castle. Offering privacy within nature, our lodges are an excellent choice for families. Join us as we take a look at why a family lodge holiday in the UK could be the perfect option for your next getaway. 

All under one roof

One of the reasons why staying in our Estate lodges could be for you, is the ability to have your entire family under one roof. Unlike hotels where you might need to book multiple rooms, our spacious lodges can accommodate everyone together. 

This setup is particularly good for larger families or those staying with extended family members, like grandparents. Shared living areas in the lodges encourage families to spend quality time together, socialising and creating lasting memories in a luxurious and comfortable environment during your family lodge holiday in the UK. 

Our luxury lodge facilities include:

• Spectacular views over the grounds and Dartmoor National Park
• Rooms that are individually styled across 3 floors, fashioned from local granite and vaulted with English oak
• Open plan kitchen, lounge and dining room
• Decking and balcony area with outdoor furniture and BBQ’s (summer months)

Enhanced privacy

Privacy is a huge perk when it comes to staying in one of our lodges. Unlike hotels, where common areas can be crowded and noisy, Bovey Castle lodges provide a secluded space just for your family. This private environment allows you to enjoy your holiday without any disturbances. Getting the chance to spend this uninterrupted time together, can help your family bond and make unforgettable memories.

Embrace our unique activities

Nestled in the picturesque Dartmoor National Park, Bovey Castle offers lodges surrounded by breathtaking nature and wildlife. This setting allows families to immerse themselves in the great outdoors, creating unforgettable experiences. Our estate offers a wide array of family-friendly activities right on your doorstep:

Outdoor adventures: Explore nearby hiking trails, go on a family bike ride, or try something new like archery, clay pigeon shooting, falconry, bee keeping and so much more.
Golf: Our 18-hole championship golf course offers stunning views of the Devonshire countryside, perfect for golf enthusiasts.
Spa & Leisure: Relax in our award-winning spa, take a dip in the indoor swimming pool, or work out in our state-of-the-art fitness centre.
KidsZone: We offer a dedicated kids’ club with a variety of activities to keep the little ones entertained while parents unwind.

Dog friendly accommodations

For many families, dogs are part of the family. Our lodges are dog friendly, so you don’t need to leave your furry friends behind, and the holiday can be enjoyed altogether. Making for a more enjoyable and stress-free holiday, with your pooch by your side.

Home cooked meals

Another advantage of a lodge stay is the opportunity to prepare home cooked meals. The lodge comes with a fully equipped kitchen, allowing you to cook your favourite dishes, just like at home. This is especially convenient for families, especially those with dietary restrictions or picky eaters.

Cooking your own meals can be more cost-effective than dining out, and indulging in a homemade dinner in the comfort of your lodge adds to the homely feel and enhances the holiday experience. If you prefer, there is also the added feature of lodge dining, which gives you the option to dine in the comfort of your own lodge too, whilst choosing from an exquisite range of home-style dining and meal options, all cooked with AA culinary excellence.

Holiday on your own schedule

We understand that if you have young children, you can often have routines that are hard to stick by when travelling. That’s why, our Estate lodges provide the flexibility to stick to these routines more easily. Children can go to bed early in a separate room, while adults stay up without worrying about disturbing them. 

Maintaining a familiar routine can make the holiday more relaxing, for both parents and children, ensuring everyone enjoys their time away from home.
