The property
Set on a hillside within the peaceful grounds of Honicombe Manor Holiday Resort, enveloped by the beautiful Tamar Valley, is this delightful retreat.
Ideal for family and friends looking to get away and breathe a different kind of air, this Alpine lodge boasts upside down accommodation, making the most of the views from the first floor.
Walk through to a cheery set of bedrooms on ground floor, accompanied by a shower room and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom so you can get ready morning and evening with ease.
There is an open-plan living room upstairs, leading to a sunny balcony with comfortable dining furniture and views over open countryside; a wonderful place to sit with a drink or exchange pleasantries over dinner.
To the exterior, the grasses are bordered by trees and a quiet patio area rests with a hot tub.
Relax in the luxurious bubbles and listen to the sounds of the babbling brook running down the side of the garden nearby as you sip a glass of something cold.
The on-site facilities include indoor and a seasonal outdoor heated swimming pools and tennis courts, as well as use of the gym if you're feeling particularly energetic.
Close by is Gunnislake hosting a small selection of shops, pubs and the Tamar Valley Railway with regular services along the river bank to Plymouth.
Cotehele is a couple of miles away near Calstock, a National Trust property and rustic, working 19th century mill on the banks of River Tamar, with woodland walks and formal gardens.
Tavistock, with its pannier market, pubs and restaurants is a must, as well as Dartmoor National Park for exploring a region of wild open moorland, distinctive tors and green fields separated by stone walls.
This lovely holiday let is just what you need to rejuvenate in a superb area of Cornwall.
