Hillside

Hillside is a detached alpine-style lodge at Honicombe Manor Holiday Village in Drakewalls, between Callington and Gunnislake, in the Tamar Valley. It sleeps 8 guests and is built on a reverse-level plan, so the open-plan living space, kitchen and dining table are on the first floor, opening onto a large balcony terrace with furniture.

The main bedroom is a ground-floor super-king with an en-suite walk-in shower. There is a twin room and two more twins with zip-and-link beds that can be made up as a double on request, and a ground-floor shower room serves the rest. Fuel, power, bed linen and towels are included in the rent. A travel cot, highchair and stairgate are available on request.

Guests share the estate's leisure club, which has an indoor heated pool, an outdoor heated pool from May to September, a sauna, a gym and tennis courts. It closes only on 25 December and 1 January. The Honicombe Arms pub and restaurant is on site. Parking is off-road and close by, and WiFi works in the lodge and in the leisure areas.

Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome; smoking is not allowed and worker bookings are not accepted. The lodge is reached by 14 steps and may not suit anyone with limited mobility. It suits a family group or two families, and is less good for guests who cannot manage steps.
