Devon has some of the best cycling in the UK. Start by discovering our 40-acre private estate, where you can set out on easy trails and even discover secluded picnic and barbecue areas to make an afternoon of it. For a longer family-friendly cycling trip, drop down from Honiton and follow the River Otter, or explore the quiet country lanes around us. Make time for plenty of stops to enjoy nature and take in the views, as we are right on the edge of two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
If you are on a more full-time cycling holiday, explore hundreds of miles of the National Cycle Network in the Southwest, take a challenging climb in the Blackdown Hills on our doorstep, or head for Quantock Hills. Pick up the South West Coast Path at Sidmouth, just ten miles away or explore the bridleways and byways of Exmoor and Dartmoor.
Whether your UK cycling holiday is all about easy trails, nature watching and picnics or you’re a seasoned cyclist looking for new adventures, Otter Falls is in a great location to create your own perfect Devon cycling holiday.
After some serious – or not so serious – cycling, you need some downtime so that you can recharge your batteries for your next outing. Otter Falls makes a great base for your cycling holiday, with a choice of luxury accommodation, from lakeside lodges to stone cottages, sleeping from 2-10 guests. If your legs are aching, sink into your own private hot tub where the bubbles will work their magic, or cool down on the indoor swimming pool.
Once you’re feeling relaxed, head over to the Tickled Trout Bar & Bistro for a well-earned drink and plan tomorrow’s route over a drink or two. When you stay at Otter Falls, you turn a cycling holiday into a special holiday.
