Upon entering the lodge you will be taken by the luxury that exudes throughout.
Oak floors and quality furnishings grace the open plan living room, which is ideal for relaxing on the reclining leather sofa at the end of the day with a film or on which to plan further adventures.
Oak floors, crystal light fittings and the Victorian king-size bed grace the sumptuous bedroom, whilst the stunning en-suite double shower ensures an energising start to the day.
Outside though, is where you will want to be.
The romantic swing seat or comfortable lounging chairs invite relaxation and the quality dining furniture tempts you to indulge in alfresco dining, all the while admiring the marvellous views, which you will never tire of.

About the location
CALLINGTON
Tavistock 9 miles; Launceston 11.5 miles.
Callington is a Cornish market town, rich in mining heritage and overlooked by Kit Hill, the highest point in the area, donated to the people of Cornwall by Prince Charles to celebrate the birth of Prince William.
From the top of Kit Hill there are fabulous views across south-east Cornwall as far as Plymouth Sound.
Callington is set in the heart of the Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and offers a good selection of shops, inns and cafes, as well as being the home of Ginsters Cornish pasties.
A few miles away, the quaint village of Calstock clings to the steep banks of the river Tamar and is dominated by the splendid Calstock Railway Viaduct, a giant 11-arched stone construction supporting one of Britain’s most picturesque branch lines running through the Tamar Valley.
Other interesting places along the river are Cotehele, a beautiful historic house and gardens owned by the National Trust with a small quay and inn, and Morwhellam Quay, a theme park that staged a living history production for the BBC and where visitors can explore the rich mining heritage and watch blacksmiths, potters and craftsmen at work.
The pannier market town of Tavistock is only nine miles from Callington and is well worth a visit on your way to a day’s walk on Dartmoor.
A splendid base to explore south Cornwall and West Devon..
