  • "We had a lovely stay at Tor Down Quarry and were made to feel very welcome by the owners."

    The views are stunning and it is a very peaceful location with an excellent pub within walking distance. The accommodation was really well equipped and had everything that we needed for our stay. The location is great as you get to relax in the countryside but are just a short drive to a number of attractions such Bodmin Jail, The Eden Project and the beaches of Padstow.

    The lodge was lovely and spacious. It was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and then some! The view was stunning, with a gorgeous sunset on the doorstep! Nothing is too much trouble for Kirsty! We had a small glitch on our arrival and she quickly sorted it out! We can't wait till our next visit! 5 star all the way!

  • "The property was really lovely, beautiful surroundings."

    The property was for 6 people, but had much more crockery , glasses etc to accommodate 6, and lots of cooking utensils as well. The owner came up to see us just after we arrived, she was very friendly and made sure we knew how to contact her if there were any problems (there weren’t) and and also told us what was in the area. Lovely peaceful place and the hot tub was a definite winner with us all. We would definitely recommend this property. Also a cream tea waiting for us was a lovely touch.

  • "Mellydonen was a little slice of heaven."

    Three generations of women had a perfect stay. The lodge was absolutely beautiful inside with plenty of space, spotlessly clean. With a huge Veranda, the outdoor space and privacy with 180° view was stunning. Not overlooked at all. we felt like we were in a different world. I cannot recommend this lodge highly enough. We had such a fantastic peaceful holiday. The Veranda is a real sun trap all day. The added bonus of a daily swim in the lake for both my dogs was fantastic. Both the lakes are beautiful. The quarry is packed with bird life. Lots of bunnies bouncing around in the evening. Kirsty the host was on site if needed, but you had total privacy. Oh and let’s not forget the hot tub, my 83-year-old mother fell in love with it, and we watched the sunset from here almost every night. I cannot wait to return next year.

    On arrival, the lodge was immaculate and very homely. It had all the facilities you could wish for and the owners also thought about all the basic necessities, no need to bring towels, linen, kitchen utensils and the like as this lodge has it all.

    From the Fantastic location we were able to explore the more hidden parts of Cornwell. The setting of our Cabin was tranquil and relaxing with amazing views across Cornwell. The owners made us welcome, and the home made scones, jam.and cream, were a fantastic surprise and very much enjoyed! The hot tub was secluded and enjoyed the fabulous views. Our Cabin was amazingly well equipped with everything you could need on a self catering break. There are 2 lakes one within easy reach on a little further away both of which are gorgeous and would be fantastic in the summer to a swim, but looked stunning even in January! Basically if you want a fantastic relaxing holiday in Cornwall away from the coast (its within easy reach) then I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here, you will bot be disappointed!

The property

Mellydone Beder Del is a stunning, single-storey lodge situated on the outskirts of St Breward in Cornwall.

Set within a large quarry and with two lakes, this unique retreat offers a first-class getaway for families and friends to Cornwall.

Illuminated with natural light, the contemporary open-plan living space offers a delightful space to relax in the evening; take a seat on the sumptuous sofa before the Smart TV, tuning into your favourite on-demand shows or simply reminiscing over the holiday so far.

Head to the breakfast bar and keep the chef of the group company whilst they get acquainted with all the mod cons, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, so you won’t have to lift a finger when it comes to washing up!

When the evening draws to a close, retire to one of the three bedrooms, each tastefully furnished with crisp white bed linen and enjoying en-suite facilities and Smart TVs, so you can resume your binge watching in bed!

After the thrill and excitement of a day on the moors or enjoying the exhilarating lakes, relax in the hot tub out on the terrace, before returning to the lodge, or gather your loved ones for an alfresco meal.

When it comes to dining out, you have two of the finest moorland pubs in Cornwall just two miles away; head to the award-winning Old Inn, dating back to the 11th century, or book a table at the Blisand Inn, famous for its quality range of real ale and former national CAMRA pub of the year award.

Nearby, Poley’s Bridge marks the beginning of the Camel Trail, a 17-mile long route, which follows a long, disused old steam engine railway line to Padstow.

Pop on your walking boots to venture into the rugged landscapes of Bodmin Moor, or head to the coast with your buckets and spades and enjoy a day on one of the many beaches resting along Cornwall’s northern coastline, including Polzeath Beach, Harlyn Bay Beach, and Tregardock Beach.

Alternatively, you might prefer some sightseeing so visit the TV home of Doc Martin at Port Isaac or venture to Tintagel where the legend of King Arthur abounds at Tintagel Castle and Merlin’s Cave.

With so much to do close by, as well as being within reach of the north and south coast of Cornwall, a stay at Mellydone Beder Del promises life-long memories with your loved ones.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

About the location

ST BREWARD

Bodmin 7 miles; Lostwithiel 14 miles; Padstow 17 miles; St Austell 20 miles.

St Breward is a small village set amongst beautiful countryside in Cornwall, about 7 miles from Bodmin. The village offers all the amenities you will require during your stay with a shop, village hall, church, two playgrounds and a pub. A footpath in the village creates a nice circular loop past the holy well, the church and across the River Camel. Nearby, you can also enjoy the Camel Trail which is popular with both walkers and cyclists and winds its way through the town Wadebridge on its journey to the sea at Padstow. On the edge of the town of Bodmin is the fascinating museum and haunting presence of the old Bodmin Jail, which was built from granite excavated from this very quarry back in 1840. Close by are the open spaces and wind swept grandeur of Bodmin Moor while the incomparable Eden Project (11 miles), Falmouth’s National Maritime Museum (30 miles) and the beautiful harbour town of Padstow with its famous pubs and restaurants (16 miles) make for great days out. There is a good choice of country pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area.
