About this property
Gunnislake 2.5 miles. This spacious, pet-friendly lodge is located on the Honicombe Manor Resort in the gorgeous Tamar Valley AONB and is ideal for families who enjoy the outdoors as well as seeing all of Cornwall, South Devon, and the moors. You will always have something to do, whatever the weather, with your own private hot tub and full access to all the resort's recreational facilities, including an indoor and outdoor heated swimming pool, on-site gym, health spa, a superb range of walks and cycle routes, games room and on-site pub and shop, for which the owners have provided membership. The property benefits from two off-road parking spaces, and a private patio with furniture and barbecue, perfect for alfresco dining, along with a bubbling hot tub for indulgent soaks. Be welcomed into the light and airy open-plan living space, where you will find a well-equipped kitchen for rustling up your best dishes, ready to savour at the dining table for eight, before retiring to the plush sofas to watch a much-loved film on the wall-mounted flat screen Smart TV. Completing the ground floor is a sleek shower room, where you can freshen up at the end of the day, along with two well-presented bedrooms, a double and a twin, ideal for those with limited mobility. Head upstairs where you will find a beautiful bathroom, complete with corner bath, along with two further tastefully decorated bedrooms, a double and a twin. Don’t miss out on the neighbouring Siblyback Lake and Outdoor and Active Centre, which offers a variety of family-friendly activities for novices and experienced watersports enthusiasts, making it a great place to learn something new. There will always be a choice when selecting on your day out, with so many beautiful towns close by to explore, including the idyllic riverside village of Calstock and the great National Trust holdings. The pet-friendly lodge is in a lesser-known region of Cornwall, in an Area of Outstanding National Beauty, although it's only 20 miles from Whitsand's sandy beaches and Looe's gorgeous harbour. Crab fishing in the harbour will be a hit with both kids and adults. For an unforgettable stay in Cornwall, choose Dartmoor Valley Lodge 2. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 933451, together sleeping up to 16 guests.
Gunnislake is a small rural community perched on the riverbanks of the Tamar, which are heavily forested. There are some stores and pubs in this small town. Notably, the settlement is located at the beginning of the picturesque Tamar Valley Railway, which runs regularly down the riverbank all the way to Plymouth. Dartmoor, the beaches of the south and north coasts, and the sights of Cornwall's westernmost region are all easily accessible from this location. Tavistock, a town on Dartmoor known for its pannier market, pubs, and restaurants, and the charming maritime village of Calstock, celebrated for its crafts and festivals, are both within a short drive, while the Donkey Sanctuary and Cotehele House and Gardens (NT) are even closer. You may go otter and deer spotting along the Tamar Valley walk, explore the restored Victorian mining community of Morwellham Quay 4 miles away, visit the National Trust-owned Lydford Gorge, or head to Looe's beach and charming harbour, which is 25 miles away. Take a trip on the Tamar Valley Railway and spend the day in Plymouth, where you can see the amazing Marine Aquarium and the historic Plymouth Hoe for a truly unique experience.

On arrival the hot water wasn't working. When I called the number from my bookung email I spoke to a very well meaning gentleman from the cleaning company. He was helpful and very apologetic but did let slip that the owner said they would contact us to let us know about the lack of hot water. I'm still waiting for this information from the owner. A plumber was apparently booked to come the next morning. No one arrived. The helpful gentleman from the cleaning company allowed us to move to the lodge next door which is owned by the same people. We saw the plumber arrive late in the afternoon so thank goodness we moved beforehand. The general disrepair of the whole lodge was very different to the photos. I would not recommend these lodges to anyone. Sykes Cottages who we booked through were helpful throughout and the gentleman from the cleaning company was too. However the owners severely let down the whole holiday.

I have been challenged for face covering despite being exempt and wearing bracelet but the receptionist who did not wear the face mask herself. On the question why am I being challenged she said "my boss told me to do so". When Ive asked either she understand the law and either she is not allowed to ask me this question - she didnt bother. When Ive asked why she is not wearing one, she said "my boss told me not to wear one as Im behind the window" - what a joke. Phones were down with no information to customers at all. It was the hottest week in the UK but we were unable to use outside swimming pool because some filter got broken. absolute joke to dont have a critical spares on side in case of any issues. The reception seemed not bothered at all and only displayed the notice that swimming pool is out of order without any indication how long this will take. Nobody on arrival. Unable to find property we booked. Went to pub to ask the question and yet rude woman asked me to leave because she is not reception and she could help if I tell her where do I stay (haha) which I didnt know from Sykes booking. Left and avoided the place. Property - owner feedfback Property itself great fit for our family. Very well equipped home. The frying pans were out of use but after communicating with the owner, I had replacement within hour (yes! within an hour). Owner very amazingly supportive, directed me to the property as Sykes booking website has failed to provide clear details how to find the property. Paul - the maintenance guy very friendly, came and resolved heating issue for me. He meant to come every day to clean the hot tub but he has not arrived in last 2 days - pity. Location amazing, quiet, green in the middle of nowhere really but with 25min drive to the beach. Local towns lovely (Looe charming). It was amazing stay! Id recommend 100%.And owner first class as I said - very supportive! Dont bother with reception and pub - you dont need them to have a lovely holiday !!
