Driftwood - 54 Valley Lodge

Driftwood - 54 Valley Lodge is a reverse-level property at Honicombe Park near St Ann's Chapel, sleeping eight guests across four ground-floor bedrooms. The lodge has a private hot tub and welcomes up to two dogs, making it well suited for larger family groups.

The four bedrooms - one super-king, two doubles (one en-suite with bath), and one adult bunk - are all on the ground floor, along with a shower room. The first-floor open-plan living space has kitchen, dining area, and sitting room with access to a decking area. Kitchen equipment includes an electric oven, hot plate hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, coffee maker, and air fryer. Entertainment covers TV with Amazon Firestick, DVD player, Xbox, Nintendo Wii, and WiFi. A travel cot, highchair, and stairgate are available on request.

The enclosed garden-level decking has furniture and the hot tub. A separate first-floor decking area has a barbecue. On-site parking operates on a first-come, first-served basis. The nearest pub is 0.9 miles away, with a shop at 1.4 miles.

The lodge sits in the rural Tamar Valley, close to the Cornwall-Devon border. Whitsand Bay, a 4-mile stretch of golden sand on the Rame Peninsula, is 11.8 miles away. Downderry Beach, a south-facing mile of sand and shingle, is 11.9 miles. The Tamar Valley Line railway runs through nearby Gunnislake, connecting to Plymouth.

Good for a larger family group with a dog or two who want a hot tub and a rural Tamar Valley base. Less good for anyone wanting a beach close by, as Whitsand Bay is 11.8 miles away.
