Rowella 41

A reversed-living turret cottage at St Mellion Estate, sleeping 2 across 2 bedrooms - 1 super-king (configurable as twin) and 1 bunk room. A spiral staircase connects the bedrooms to an open-plan lounge and kitchen on the upper floor, which is the distinctive feature of the Rowella design. Guests have complimentary use of the on-site health club and pool, with an 18-hole golf course and restaurant available.

The Tamar Valley AONB surrounds the estate, and Plymouth is 12 miles away. Downderry Beach is 13.9km - the nearest accessible coast. A shared pool and BBQ garden are included in the stay.

Best for couples who want a UK resort-style stay without travelling abroad. Ideal for golfers or health-club users who want a base with activities on-site. Not great for those who prioritise beach proximity - Downderry is a 15-minute drive.

The Rowella design sleeps 2 across a super-king (configurable as 2 singles) and a bunk room - the bunk room adds a second sleeping space without increasing the headline occupancy significantly. The estate's shared pool and health club are included in the stay without additional charges. A BBQ and garden are accessible, and a dishwasher, washing machine, and wifi are all provided. St Mellion is inland near the Tamar Valley AONB, so the landscape here is wooded river valley rather than coastal cliff. Downderry Beach at 13.9km and Whitsand Bay at 14.4km are driveable in around 20 minutes - not ideal for a daily beach trip, but manageable for occasional visits.
