The cottage we stayed in met our expectations but generally around the site needed some upkeep and modernisation, the pool changing area definitely needed upgrading. The Bar/Restaurant provided excellent food at good prices , the staff were very friendly.

The property

This spacious semi-detached holiday chalet sits within the peaceful grounds of Honicombe Manor Holiday Park, set in the Tamar Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

In a beautiful wooded setting, this property offers comfort throughout, a well-equipped kitchen in which to cook family meals with delicious Cornish produce and it is built in an upside down style to make the most of the far reaching views of open countryside from the first floor sunny balcony.

Furnished in a rustic style with pine furniture and a country style kitchen, it will appeal to those seeking a spell in the countryside, yet with easy access to the Cornish coast.

Leisure facilities are free of charge at Honicombe Holiday Park including indoor and outdoor heated pools and at the nearby China Fleet Country Club, a free pass is provided with facilities including swimming pool, sauna, badminton, squash, an excellent venue for a family day out just a half hour drive away (for full details see amenities section).

There are plentiful walks close by, plus just a couple of miles is the National Trust property of Cotehele; a beautiful estate by the River Tamar with woodland walks and formal gardens.

For the less energetic, take a train from Gunnislake to Plymouth, enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Tamar valley as it passes over the Calstock viaduct on the way.

After all this sightseeing, you can return to this to relax and unwind.

About the location

GUNNISLAKE

Tavistock 5 miles; Plymouth 18 miles.

The small rural village of Gunnislake lies on the steeply wooded banks of the River Tamar. It has village pubs and a small selection of shops. Notably, the village sits at one end of the scenic Tamar Valley Railway - with regular services along the river bank to Plymouth. The area is perfect for exploring Dartmoor, the south and north coast beaches and the attractions of Cornwall’s far west. Close to hand, the Dartmoor town of Tavistock with its pannier market, pubs and restaurants is a must, as well as the popular fishing village of Calstock, renowned for its crafts and festivals, while the Donkey Sanctuary and Cotehele House and Gardens (NT) are just 10 minutes away. Enjoy a round of golf at St Mellion (8 miles), explore the restored Victorian mining village at Morwhellam Quay (4 miles), search for otters and deer along the Tamar Valley footpath, visit the National Trust owned Lydford Gorge, or take a trip to the beach and picturesque harbour at Looe (25 miles) - there’s something for everyone. For something really different, why not ride the scenic Tamar Valley Railway into Plymouth and spend the day in the fabulous Marine Aquarium or strolling the historic Plymouth Hoe?
