A two-bedroom lodge on a holiday park in Par, on Cornwall's south coast, sleeping four with access to the park's shared swimming pool, spa, and children's play area. Rated 4 stars, the lodge accommodates four across a double and a twin room, with two bathrooms and a washing machine. The decked platform at the front is a practical outdoor space away from the park's busier areas.

The lodge sits on a well-serviced park with a cafe on site, meaning meals out are optional rather than essential. A garden and parking are included. Two dogs are welcome. No dishwasher, but the kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering.

Carlyon Bay - a wide sandy beach with a gently sloping seabed suited to families - is 2.3 miles. Readymoney Cove, the sheltered sandy cove below St Catherine's Castle at Fowey, is 2.7 miles. The Eden Project is under 5 minutes by car from Par, and Par has its own mainline rail station - one of the few Cornish holiday bases reachable without a car.

**Best for**: families or couples wanting mid-Cornwall south coast access with pool facilities and Eden Project on the doorstep. **Less good for**: those seeking a self-contained rural property away from park life - the site is a managed holiday park with neighbouring lodges and communal areas.
