Where Is Rockpool Lodge?
Rockpool Lodge sits in an elevated position within Ladram Bay Holiday Park near Budleigh Salterton in East Devon.
What stood out immediately is that it feels more private than many holiday park locations.
Positioned on the edge of the park with open surroundings and views towards the coastline, it feels noticeably more spacious than standard accommodation positions.
Parking is excellent too, with room for up to four vehicles.
One thing worth noting - there are steps up to the lodge, so accessibility may not suit every guest.
The outdoor space at Rockpool Lodge with sea views - one of our favourite areas to relax during our stay.
Outdoor Space Review - The Feature That Makes This Lodge Stand Out
If there’s one reason we came back, it’s this.
The outdoor space genuinely feels closer to a private holiday home than standard holiday park accommodation.
Included outside:
✓ Private hot tub
✓ Outdoor dining table seating eight
✓ Outdoor sofa area
✓ Artificial lawn
✓ Sun loungers
✓ Elevated sea views
The hot tub sits in a separate enclosed area overlooking the Devon coastline.
During our previous visit we barely used it - so this time we made sure not to repeat that mistake.
On a sunny evening, this could easily become your favourite part of the stay.

If you’re self-catering, this kitchen is excellent.
Included:
Full-size fridge freezer
Oven and gas hob
Dishwasher
Washer-dryer
Wine fridge
Microwave
Tassimo coffee machine - including a few pods, but worth taking your own as well.
Ninja Air Fryer
Plenty of cookware and storage
This feels practical for larger groups and longer stays.
