Beautiful lodge, extremely clean, and well equipped, the grounds itself needed tidying up, grass overgrown, the little stream beside us was overgrown with brambles, it would have been lovely if we could have seen it , the pub was excellent, very friendly, nice staff very helpful, and extremely good food, very impressive dinning room

“The owners of the lodge were lovely, always available to deal with queries via text or phone and left a lovely carrot cake and some biscuits for our kids.”

The property was great, lovely living room space big enough for all 7 of us and the kitchen was well equipped for what we needed. Great location to visit the tamar valley area.

“Lovely place, comfy and clean.”

Owner’s home made cakes lovely. Only recommendation would be a heated towel rail as towels always felt damp. Would stay again

“Beautiful, clean and well equipped lodge.”

Gorgeous homemade cakes upon arrival and some necessities (tea, coffee, sugar). Shelley very helpful the whole stay, answering texts promptly. The lodge is next to a brook/stream and after a busy day at the beach, was perfect to sit on balcony and listen to the running water. Didn't use the onsite swimming pool or pub as too busy (half term & Bank holiday) but the site is lovely with no reason to leave if you want a relaxing break. Would definitely book and stay again. There were 6 of us and the lodge was plenty big enough. Do have to travel to get to a beach but that wasn't an issue to us- we went all over and investigated lots of Cornwall. Easy to find, donkey sanctuary next door and cute pub a few minutes away (Carpenters Arms) thank you Shelley

“The lodge was well equipped and the home made carrot cake was lovely.”

As recommended by Shelley we went to Kit Hill the views and walks were amazing. Would also recommend the Sunday roast at Honicombe Arms friendly and welcoming. Also used the outdoor pool which was clean and with only one family at a time was fun

“The lodge was well maintained and equipped.”

Plenty of room for our party of 7 plus 2 dogs. Homemade cake on arrival was a lovely touch. Despite the current covid problems the lodge was spotless and we had no issues at all.

“The lodge was beautiful, finished to a very high standard.”

The bedrooms were very clean, tidy and comfortable. There was plenty of room in the living areas and we had all the amenities needed. The outside area had ample space for the kids and dogs. Overall a lovely lodge and highly recommended.

“Very pleased we found the lodge very well equiped and homely.”

Wi-Fi is a massive plus as everyone could use their phones etc: Enjoyed the Cakes on arrival and very welcome after a Long Journey. Only very slight critisicm was their was only a Bin in the kitchen it could do with a small bin in each bedroom. Apart from that highly recomended.

“The beach was a very long way a way even lady at the shop said fakes advertising.”

- Anne, August 2019

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Valley Lodge 55. We were sorry to see you were disappointed with the distance to the sea. The property is advertised as located in the Tamar valley and not as a beach holiday destination. The nearest coast is indicted as 10 miles from the property. Cornwall has many beaches which depending the coast you wish to visit, can be 30 minutes plus to get to, depending on holiday traffic. We were pleased to see from your ratings you found the lodge clean and comfortable and that despite the point raised you enjoyed your stay at Valley Lodge 55. Property Owner

“The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed, but it didn’t look like ...”

The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed, but it didn’t look like it had been cleaned very well, the balcony hadn’t even been swept and the bedrooms were so damp all the bedding and our clothes were damp to the touch and it aggregated my chest condition, I wouldn’t stay in that particular cottage again but we would use your company, also I contacted you prior to our visit to ask if there was a freezer and you said no, but there was so you need to have all the information on the properties

- Annette, July 2019

We were sorry to hear you were unhappy with our property. I did remain in contact with you during your stay and I'm sorry you didn't mention anything about the damp or bedding. Our bedding is professionally cleaned and beds changed on day of your arrival. I do understand it was a very humid week you stayed, We have not had a damp problem within our property due to its construction the bedrooms are always cooler being on the ground floor.

“A great place to stay, it had everything we needed for a good time.”

The weather helped for sure and my daughters would have been happy to spend everyday in the outdoor pool. Directions could be smarter, the “right turn before the outdoor pool” is about 150 yards short of the outdoor pool so you have gone way past the turn when you find the pool?? The right turn itself is an acute turn and not within the turning circle of most cars too, which after a week became slightly tedious. But they are the only issues we came across. All in all we were all very happy with our time there.

“On arrival we were greeted with homemade carrot cake tea coffee and a fresh bottle of milk witch we did not expect.”

Shelley the owner went out of her way to make us feel at home.thank you shelley for a great holiday.

No visitors book I like to look through the visitors book to see what previous visitors recommend pubs cafes dog-friendly beaches excetera and which of these to avoid apart from that one small item I would highly recommend Valley Lodge 55 and would definitely go again

Alex May 2019

“The lodge was extremely clean, well furnished and had everything we could want and more.”

Ideal location, good facilities on site and owner left us home-made cakes on arrival, as well as letting us arrive early and leave later than advertised. Would love to stay here again!

- Alex, May 2019
Jess May 2019

“Lodge 55 was great, spacious and clean and tidy.”

It felt like a home from home with a cupboard of kids toys, and a freshly baked cake for when we arrived. No booking after us so we were offered a later check out, and this was after Shelley let us check in from 1 instead of 4. Great extra touches that made the difference. Wifi was great and worked perfectly. Top balcony is also in the sun all day as well which we weren't expecting. Lovely lodge that is set on its own not next to any other lodges so nice and quiet. No complaints at all Holiday Park feedback: Disapointing that the outdoor pool wasn't opened, we went away at the same time last year and it was classed as summer season. No information on the holiday park website about what dates winter/summer season is. Pub on-site didn't do lunch, so had to drive elsewhere. If you come here with dogs, head for Kit Hill down the road, beautiful views and great walks.

“Our joint family of seven enjoyed an Easter break at Valley Lodge.”

The lodge is located in a beautiful area from which there are many walks and local attractions to visit. I would happily revisit this part of the world again.

Lyndsey August 2018

“Beautiful well equipped lodge in a great location.”

Personal added touch of afternoon tea being left for our arrival. Home away from home feel. Lovely site enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pool. Would definitely visit again

- Lyndsey, August 2018
Richard August 2018

“Property was very well-equipped, all appliances worked properly, everything was very clean.”

Clearly the owners were very aware of what might be helpful for a family for a stay if at least a week. The site facilities were excellent, entertainments were fun and overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

“The accommodation suited our family, however the fridge was too small.”

- Elizabeth, August 2018
Sarah August 2018

“The lodge was beautifully decorated and very welcoming.”

It is situated in a lovely area with plenty of activities in driving distance. The people at the manor are very friendly and the facilities were great. We all enjoyed our holiday and literally had family ranging from seven to seventy staying.

“Absolutely perfect holiday.”

From the moment we opened the doors of the lodge. We were welcomed with a spotless lodge. Cupcakes and biscuits left on the table. A folder full off everything we needed for the lodge including brochures of places to go. The lodge exceeded our expectations. The onsite facilities where nice with a pool, small games room and bar with amazing food. Will definitely be returning to this place again.

About the location

CALLINGTON

Tavistock 9 miles; Launceston 11.5 miles, Plymouth 14.6 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.
