A short UK break at any time of year can often do you more good than some longer family holidays, and The Mole Resort in north Devon has those easy, refreshing getaways down to a fine art.
Find your perfect short UK break at The Mole in Devon
The Mole is a fabulous new destination resort in north Devon. Just opened in summer 2023, it offers a range of luxurious, eco-conscious lodges, as well as traditional hotel rooms in an Arts & Crafts Manor House, and a range of other family accommodation set around a lovely 125 acre country estate.
Relax, these lodges have impeccable green credentials
Not only do all The Mole lodges feature hot tubs, they each have a private balcony or deck, with spectacular views of the surrounding Devonshire countryside. Step inside, and you’ll find everything you could ever want on a luxury family break, including a fully equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms and an airy, open plan living room.
If green credentials matter to you as much as they should, you’ll be pleased to know The Mole is also home to the UK’s first energy-positive lodge. And in addition to that, the entire resort has been awarded Green Key accreditation in recognition of its sustainable hospitality efforts.
Come and play in 125 acres of unspoiled Devon countryside
Although nothing comes greener than the heart of Devon and The Mole lets you make the most of that with a huge selection of outdoor activities ranging from pickleball and tennis to archery, axe throwing, golf and five-a-side football. During their stay, lodge guests can even swim in the Manor House pools: outdoors in summer or indoors any time of year.
However, if you really want to put The Mole’s promise of the best of all worlds to the test on a family break, drop into the Devon View Restaurant for dinner. One of many reasons why the Manor House has won AA Two Rosettes for seven years in a row, this charming restaurant focuses on fresh, local and seasonal produce; yet another sign of The Mole’s commitment to sustainable hospitality.
The Mole loves your dog almost as much as you do
Of course, it’s not only children who love the freedom, space and wild fun at The Mole, dogs are pretty keen on all that good stuff too. So it’s fortunate that all lodges here are also pet friendly, meaning everyone in the family gets to unwind, reset or walk till they drop: depending on whether you have two legs, or four.
Have your next short break anytime at The Mole
The Mole is open year round and offers a choice of 2, 3 or 4 bedroom lodges, as well as interconnecting lodges. Not only perfect for a short UK break, but eco-conscious too; a mood you can continue if you arrive by train. Regular trains run from London Paddington to Tiverton Parkway Station and the journey takes just over two hours.
