Set in 40 acres of woodland on the edge of the Blackdown Hills, Hornbeam Country Park is a private holiday estate in the East Devon countryside, close to the village of Dunkeswell and just a few miles from Honiton. Buyers looking for holiday lodges for sale at Hornbeam Country Park are usually drawn to the big woodland views, private hot tubs, walking trails and the sense of being properly “away from it all”. Pet-friendly and open all year on a 12-month holiday licence, it’s ideal if you want a tranquil base to enjoy Devon’s coast and countryside in every season.

The park has a relaxed, nature-focused feel: lodges are tucked among trees with views towards the Blackdown Hills, and you can step straight out onto woodland paths rich in wildlife and birdsong. At the same time, beaches, coves and the Jurassic Coast, plus the shops and services of Honiton and Exeter, are all within easy driving distance.

Description

Hornbeam Country Park is laid out as a collection of modern holiday lodges, many with decking and private hot tubs overlooking the surrounding woodland and hills. Internal roads wind gently through the trees, and the park has been kept deliberately peaceful, with the focus on walks, wildlife and quiet time rather than a busy clubhouse scene.

Within walking distance, you’ll find Dunkeswell village with its convenience store, social club, places to eat and petrol station. Honiton is a short drive away for supermarkets, independent shops and markets, while the wider East Devon countryside and coast give you plenty of choice for days out.
