Valley Lodge 2

Valley Lodge 2 is a 3-bedroom property at Honicombe Park near Callington, sleeping 6 with 2 bathrooms. The three bedrooms sit on the lower level - a king-size en-suite double, a double, and a twin - with open-plan living and dining upstairs. One well-behaved dog is welcome, and parking for 2 vehicles is on-site.

The park has a shared leisure club with an indoor heated pool, an outdoor heated pool open May to September, a sauna, a gym, a games room and tennis. Wi-Fi, dishwasher, and garden are included. The first-floor balcony needs supervising when children are staying.

Callington sits in east Cornwall near the Devon border, with Gunnislake about 1.9 miles away. The nearest beaches are at Whitsand Bay (11.8 miles), Downderry (11.9 miles), and Kingsand (12.4 miles) - all on the south Cornwall coast. The distance from the beach makes this better suited as a countryside base than a beach holiday. Dartmoor is within 20 minutes east, and the Tamar Valley - a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - runs along the border nearby.

This suits families or groups of 6 who value the on-site pool and leisure facilities over proximity to the sea. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Good for those who want a base for exploring east Cornwall and the Tamar Valley. Less good for anyone prioritising beach access - 11.8 miles to the nearest coast means the sea is a significant drive away, and this is a rural park setting rather than a coastal retreat. Saturday changeover.
