Nestled in the heart of North Cornwall’s stunning countryside, Willow Bay Lodge Escape, part of our Wanderwood Collection offers the perfect blend of coastal adventure and peaceful escape.

Surrounded by peaceful, ancient woodland and rolling green countryside, this idyllic retreat has a sanctuary-like feel.

Here, birdsong and the occasional rumble of a tractor replace city traffic and stars illuminate your evenings.

With no Wi-Fi, noisy clubhouse or busy facilities, guests here can unwind, embrace life’s simple pleasures and reconnect with nature on tranquil walks through our enchanting woodland area.

All of our lodges come with spacious decking areas so you can dine alfresco and make the most of the natural surrounds.

Opt for a hot tub lodge and you can bubble away for as long as you desire, truly making the most of this serene escape.

As you would expect, each lodge has a well-equipped kitchen.

Each is dog friendly too, so save on those kennel fees and bring your four-legged family member with you, they will love all the sounds and smells here! Whilst its location is rural, Willow Bay is heaven for pet owners and ideally situated on the Cornwall and Devon border.

You and your four-legged companion can hop in the car and discover a wide selection of invigorating walking routes nearby.

The park’s also perfectly positioned between the Hartland Heritage Coast and Pentire Point, and with Willow Bay sitting on the Devon–Cornwall border, it offers easy access to some of the UK’s most dramatic coastline.

Wander along miles of scenic coastal paths, explore the golden sands of Widemouth Bay or take in the dramatic cliff-top views at Crackington Haven.

The charming tourist towns of Bude and Holsworthy are close by, offering shops, supermarkets, plenty of eateries and a warm local welcome.

Spend your days fishing at nearby lakes, exploring the countryside, discovering the majestic Launceston Castle or enjoying a leisurely lunch at one of the many pubs and restaurants in the area.

For supplies, there is a delightful village shop within a mile of the park which provides a range of locally sourced produce.

From freshly baked bread and homemade cakes to seasonal fruit, vegetables and Cornish meats, there’s everything you need to create hearty breakfasts or mouth-watering evening meals.

Peaceful, picturesque, and perfectly placed for pure escapism, Willow Bay is the ideal base for your next Cornish getaway.


Please note, due to the location of the park, phone signal is limited.

James, Oxfordshire

Comfortable and clean

Oliver, Stockport
Date of stay: 7th April 2025

Really enjoyed our stay here, despite the slightly high prices. The overall experience made it worth every penny, definitely coming back!

Michael, Sunderland
Date of stay: 7th February 2025

We had a fantastic stay! The lodge was spotless and super comfy, with a big enclosed deck perfect for our dog. The hot-tub was definitely a highlight. Its clear the owners really considered everything, even giving us a torch for late walks since the park gets quite dark. Plus, having a washing machine and dishwasher was a real bonus. Loved it!

Jess, Nottingham
Date of stay: 5th February 2025

We had a lovely stay at the lodge. The decor was really stylish and everything was spotlessly clean, which we appreciated. Spending time in the hot tub was a highlight, especially in such a peaceful, quiet setting. Inside, it felt surprisingly spacious with plenty of storage and a nice dining table on the decking for outdoor meals. Having our own parking spot was a bonus too. The only small thing we noticed was that the sealant around the shower could do with a touch-up - its a bit discoloured and doesnt quite match the high standards of the rest of the place. Also, the skirting board near the shower looks a bit damp and starting to rot, but overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

Alex, High Wycombe
Date of stay: 24th December 2024

Really enjoyed the stay overall

Emma, Gloucestershire
Date of stay: 20th December 2024

Really enjoyed our stay, definitely coming back soon!
