These two attractive and comfortable alpine
style cottages are situated next door to each other and can both be booked
for larger groups. Each lodge has 3 double bedrooms, 1
bathroom, 1 shower room and sleeps 6/8 plus cots. They lie at the top of the site, looking down
the valley and enjoy all the facilities of the holiday site including
indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, fitness centre and
on-site restaurant and bar.
The
holiday village lies in the Tamar Valley, an unspoilt and uncommercialised
area of Cornwall/Devon with AONB status. It is within easy reach of historic Plymouth, the ancient
market town of Tavistock, the gloriously wild open spaces of Dartmoor and
Bodmin Moor and the wonderful beaches and coastline of North and South
Cornwall.
The
area is suitable both for relaxed or energetic holidays with many sporting
opportunities available. The Tamar
Valley Tourism site is an excellent source of information about the
local area and has interesting links to the successful World Heritage
Status bid site for historical tin and copper mining in Cornwall and
Devon. Morwellham Quay and mine are only a few minutes drive away on
the Devon side of the border, near Gunnislake and are a wonderful day out
for adults and children alike.
For
those interested in horticulture or history, there are several superb
National Trust properties in the area including Cotehele just 1 mile
distant, renowned for the beauty of it’s daffodils in March and Buckland
Abbey, home of Sir Francis Drake, just over the border into
Devon.
Or you can venture a little further to
Caerhays
Castle, Trewithen
or Lanhydrock for magnificent magnolias and camellias.
The Eden Project and The
Lost Gardens of Heligan are both approximately 30 minutes drive and
make a fascinating day out at any time of the year.
There are also many ancient monuments and standing stones in the local
area.
Railway (and
Real Ale) buffs will enjoy the 14 mile Tamar
Valley Line with a station 1 mile distant at
Gunnislake. Enjoy a trip to
Plymouth
alongside the magnificent River Tamar and over the Calstock viaduct and
see Brunel's famous bridge. If you want to explore further afield
the Tamar line joins the main
Penzance
to
Exeter
line at Plymouth.
