1 Mary Dawe

A single-storey wood-clad lodge in a riverside park near Notter Bridge, sitting beside the Lynher River with a private patio and picnic bench. Two bedrooms sleep five across different layouts: a double and a triple room with a bunk bed plus an additional single. The open-plan living area has a wood burner for cooler evenings, useful for early- and late-season stays. All guests share 1 bathroom. Shared facilities across the park include a heated outdoor pool and tennis courts - both included in the stay.

Saltash is around 3 miles away, with road and rail connections to Plymouth across the Tamar via Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge. Whitsand Bay, a long south-facing beach below steep coastal cliffs with consistent surf, is approximately 9.8km. Downderry Beach is 10.2km and Kingsand, a quieter fishing village cove on the Rame Peninsula, is around 12km. Bodmin Moor - for walking and the Golitha Falls nature reserve - is under an hour by car. A dishwasher and parking are included. Dogs are welcome. From £528 per week.

Best for families or small groups seeking a rural riverside setting with shared pool access. Suits those who plan to divide the week between the Rame Peninsula coast and Bodmin Moor, both reachable by car. Less good for anyone without transport - the park is rural, and shops and restaurants require a drive to Saltash or further.
