We stayed at finLake for a week and we had an absolutely outstanding time. It was the best holiday I could ever imagine the food was amazing. The service was amazing. The experience was absolutely divine. However, there was this one chap who was rather small, curly hair, etc… he refused to give us his name and he downright ruined our holiday. Completely ruined just the way he walked around poolside thinking he owned the place absolutely disgusting. He was so rude to my family. I would never go back to Finlake after this guy apart from that, we had a wonderful time

Ruined

Have not visited this site before and I was a little anxious after reading some reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely return. We stayed with two children and a small dog and had a hot tub. Everything was easy from start to finish, lodge was clean and presentable, staff were friendly and went above and beyond (the girls in the hub are an asset to the site!) the food was delicious, pool was great. We stayed in 37 Lakeside.

Great weekend stay

We have just come back from a very enjoyable second stay here. The lodge is well situated close to Finlake falls. Very clean and the hosts have thought of everything from entertainment for the children to the comprehensive selection of gadgets in the kitchen. Thank you Eleanor!

Willow Lodge- Finlake

We just came back from a long weekend at Finlake Resort, staying at Foxes Walk 29 (Foxes Leap Finlake) which is a privately let lodge marketed exclusively via Devon Holidays Finlake. The booking experience was seamless, and they kept in touch throughout our break, offering fantastic onsite and local suggestions.
The resort was awesome. Reading some of the poor reviews here, we needed to figure out what to expect; however, this meant we were amazed and pleased with every aspect of our stay. 
The lodge looked and felt clean and could not be faulted. The rooms were just the right size, and it had a great living room, nice sized TV and the added extra of a Playstation 4 and games. The kitchen was well-equipped for our stay.  The resort was also clean and well-kept. All the grass areas, as were the public areas such as the pool, spa, hub and Retreat restaurant, were kept neat and tidy. The staff in the Hub, Spa, Retreat and Pool were really friendly. However, the main reception staff were grumpy as if they wanted to be elsewhere. Luckily we only needed to go there once for a map, and we utilised Devon Holidays' personable approach for all other suggestions and help.
I feel for those with the one-star experience, as we found booking one of the private lodges via Devon Holidays Finlake to be second to none. We will come back as we love the resort and the properties and service we got.  Thank you to Finlake for having such a fabulous resort and for the work and effort your teams must go to for it to look so good; the same kudos for Devon Holidays, who were on hand morning, noon, or noon night to answer our questions and give great suggestions.

Foxes Walk 29

We visited for the first time last weekend as a birthday treat for my grandson. Flawless from start to finish. We stayed at 15 Top Rd, a beautifully maintained Scandinavian style lodge. We were very impressed with the lodge and surroundings and had a fab time. Will defo be booking again

Perfect getaway

Beautiful lodge. Hot tub sauna and very clean and comfortable   Great value for our break. Better than a hotel with lots of space and freedom and our dog loved the woodland walks.  Lots of activities for the kids. Hot tub was amazing and private. Parking was close to the lodge. Great location close to beaches and beautiful Dartmoor Will be back soon

Scandinavian lodge 15

We attended Finlake Resort & Spa and stayed in Templars Lodge (Templar Rise 8) in December. We booked via Devon Holidays, having seen their adverts and positive reviews on TripAdvisor.
When we arrived, we were not disappointed; The Resort was well kept - the grounds team worked tirelessly to keep the whole report looking fantastic.
The Lodge was near enough to the Hub Cafe, Bar, Restaurant and the pools but also far enough to be quiet, peaceful and secluded. The lodge was spotlessly clean inside and out and had everything anyone could want for a week away. The hot tub was a perfect addition and was used regularly,
The staff at Devon Holiday couldn't be faulted, answering any time, day or night, with any questions we had, as well as excellent local suggestions.
We went to the hub daily for breakfast, and the staff were terrific - remembering our names and what we were to order by the end. We ate in the retreat too, and the staff were equally as friendly.
We all loved the indoor pool, splash zones and water slides. The lifeguards and front desk staff were friendly and human, unlike some of the resorts we have been to.
Finlake Spa Resort is so close to everything. * miles from the beach, 5 miles from Dartmoor etc. This is a great base for sightseeing or for relaxing in the resort. The resort has GoActive and GoActive Junior activities - which is enough to keep kids and adults amused.
The whole family had a fantastic time. We are usually in Devon 2-3 times a year, and Devon Holidays offer 10% discount for returning guests, so its a no-brainer - we have already booked a few visits for 2023!

Templars Lodge (8 Templar Rise)

Thank you Finlake for the amazing break we have just had. Wonderful to return a mere 17 years later and it didn’t disappoint. Have to say i was slightly worried after reading reviews but do you know just ignore it! Yes it’s not ideal arriving at 5 but these guys need to do clean and prepare all lodges to ensure they are ready for us visitors! The lodge key app is a great idea - head straight to your accommodation instead of queuing - no issue in getting in. If you can’t get in then you cannot follow instructions! Our
Lodge was spotless and clean, the heating was on and the hotub hot! We chose like our last visit one that included a sauna and after wondering around we were very happy in our choice. The kitchen is well stocked with everything required for your stay pots n pans, cups n glasses etc. nice touches of a freezer, washing machine and iron n board everything to hand if needed! The beds had a nice touch being made up with towels nicely rolled, we had recently new sofas n mattresses I’m sure, as they looked quite new. I want to say to all those people who left a negative review for the balconies and decking areas of Finlake shame on you! You obviously live in a town- get over yourself you are literally in the woods with leaves everywhere- yes the decking can look a bit tired maybe in certain lodges or you are lucky to have ones that have recently been redone like ours. Honestly all staff need to be thanked as they seriously do a great job, those who passed us were cheery  and from what we saw- all areas such as the bar, food hub and pool etc looked clean and tidy. All the grounds were excellent and looking well maintained. It was nice to see nice Xmas touches such as rudolf or Santa made out of wood hiding around the grounds. Cannot really make any negative review, would like to say our heating and hot water went down, yep whilst the England v Wales game evening and we rung the emergency mobile and a very helpful chap was round in less than 10 minutes and resolved our issue.
The peace and tranquility, the views within the woods are awesome 👏 thanks Finlake

Go during winter and it won’t disappoint

We had a lovely long weekend at Finlake in half term, we stayed in Devon Comfort booked through Devon Holidays and the lodge was fantastic - really clean, lovely furnishings and well equipped. The hot tub is also excellent and most importantly clean. 
The lodge is in a nice location on the park, 2mins walk to the pool etc but also secluded and quiet with trees behind so you feel away from it all. 
Finlake is a great park and the facilities - swimming pool, spa, restaurant etc are excellent.

Devon Comfort lodge - Devon Holidays

We stayed as two families midweek in November - in a Superior Hot Tub Lodge 8, the exact lodge we stayed in was Forest Views lodge 7. There were 4 adults and 3 children pre school age. The arrival process was easy as we had already checked in online and made our way straight to the lodge. We paid for early check in which was well worth it in my opinion. Upon entering the lodge it was absolutely stunning, a wonderful size for us all. Fantastic living space for us all to use and very child friendly. The rooms were 2 double and 2 twins with a family bathroom (bath and shower) connecting 1 double and 1 twin on one side of the lodge and a smaller ensuite shower bathroom on the other side connecting the other two bedrooms. The main double bedrooms were just about big enough to fit a travel cot in down the side which is one we brought ourselves. We paid for a highchair upon booking but it wasn’t in the lodge, we went to reception almost immediately (around 1:30pm) and it had still not arrived by 8pm. After another trip to reception it then arrived promptly. The only other thing was the bath was missing a plug, it was as though the chain was snapped in half and the plug taken with it. We had to ask reception 3 times within 24 hours for it and eventually they did come and replace it but it was a little annoying to have to ask more than once. With the youngest only just over 1 a shower was not suitable. The complex itself is lovely - the grounds are very well maintained and absolutely spotless. Easy to book activities on the app, we went swimming a few times and it was great. The swimming pool and childs splash pool were great. We ate at the restaurant which was absolutely fantastic. We also had a takeaway from the hub which we didn’t rate as much and probably wouldn’t order from their again. The hot tub was just WOW. A shame it’s not on the balcony but down the path and at the back of the lodge. Overall we were blown away and will definitely be visiting again. We’re already looking at next year.
