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, but there is no Wi-Fi and no washing machine.

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.

Three reviews average 3.6 out of 5, with equipment scoring lowest at 3 out of 5, and host Thomas manages the booking. **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, guests relying on Wi-Fi or laundry facilities, and adults expecting full-length bunk beds.
