South Devon's multi award-winning holiday park, Cofton Holidays, has announced the introduction of 12 new luxury, cedar-clad lodges for 2020, each overlooking the panoramic glory of the Haldon Hills and Ashcombe Forest.

Carefully located in an elevated position to make the most of the dramatic Devon views, the lodges come with large decking areas, bubbling hot tubs and floor to ceiling windows that flood in natural light and breath-taking vistas.

Backed by mature woodland and surrounded by landscaped grounds with views as far as the eye can see, each lodge comes with VIP passes to Cofton's heated indoor pool and gym, as well as access to the park's on-site restaurant and enviable list of facilities, activities and experiences including free daily kids' clubs throughout the school holidays and from Easter to the October half-term. 

Just a woodland walk away from Dawlish Warren's Blue Flag Beach and Wildlife Reserve, the Cofton Copse Lodge collection is Cofton Holidays' premier accommodation, offering two and three bedroom lodges from £742 for a four-night break, £821 for a three-night break and £1,128 for a week break. https://www.coftonholidays.co.uk/luxury-lodges/ or call 01626 890111.

Each lodge comes with an open plan kitchen, living and dining area. With oodles of living-space to enjoy, the whole family can kick back and relax on the luxury furnishings, taking in the drama of the parkland and countryside, or the latest film on the wall-mounted flat screen TV, supported by fibre internet access and wireless speaker system.

Generously sized bedrooms come as standard, with super king-sized beds in the master en-suite rooms, and twin bedrooms that can be converted into doubles with ease thanks to zip and link beds.

In addition to the heated indoor pool with a splash pad area and hydrotherapy loungers, Cofton's award-winning facilities include a steam room, sauna, fitness studio, gym, outdoor pools, restaurant, dog-friendly pub, soft play area, playground, sports wall, and much more.

Guests also have access to five coarse fishing lakes, miles of cycle paths and nature trails that take visitors through woodland to the golden sands of Dawlish Warren beach and nature reserve.
