Kamileon

Kamileon is a three-bedroom lodge on a holiday park outside St Merryn, a village about 2 miles south-west of Padstow. It sleeps 6, with far-reaching countryside views from the decked terrace rather than a sea view.

Two bedrooms have double beds, and the third has a bunk with 2-foot-6-inch beds, shorter than standard and suited to younger children. Two bathrooms serve the lodge. A private hot tub, an open-plan living and dining room and a dishwasher are included. The living area has a sofa, chairs and a six-seater dining table, and every bedroom has a TV. Parking is private, for two cars, and the park has an on-site shop and a seasonal pop-up bar.

The deck and garden include a barbecue, and parking is provided, though dogs are not accepted. Porthcothan Bay is 2.3 miles away, Treyarnon Bay is 2.5 miles and Harlyn Bay is 2.6 miles from the lodge. St Merryn's village shop, fish and chip shop and the Cornish Arms pub are all close by, and Padstow's harbour and the start of the Camel Trail are a short drive away. The St Merryn guide has more on the area.

**Best for:** a family with younger children wanting a private hot tub, two bathrooms and several beaches within 3 miles. **Less good for:** dog owners and adults expecting full-length bunk beds.
