About this property
9 Honicombe Park is a well-equipped detached timber lodge within the Tamar Valley Resort near Callington in Cornwall. Well placed for families and friends looking for an easy-going base with on-site facilities such as a swimming pool and shop, proximity to Dartmoor National Park and allows dogs. Pull up beside the lodge and unload with ease, with a designated parking space just outside and plenty of additional parking available in the main car park. Pause for a moment before heading in, taking in the setting from the front veranda, where the outlook stretches across the neighbouring lodges in the distance, giving a real sense of being away from the rush of everyday routines.
Step inside and make your way through the reverse-level layout, where the bedrooms rest on the lower floor and the social spaces wait above. On the ground floor, the double bedroom offers a calm place to switch off, with patio doors opening directly onto a paved and secluded sitting area outside, ideal for that first cup of tea in the morning air or a quiet moment before the rest of the house stirs. The Jack-and-Jill bathroom can be reached from here, ready for a long soak after a day out, while the twin room offers a flexible space for children or friends to settle in.
A separate shower room on this floor adds welcome convenience, whether you are freshening up after a swim or getting everyone ready for the day ahead. Head upstairs to the heart of the lodge, where the open-plan living space invites everyone to come together. In the sitting area, soft carpet underfoot leads you towards two sofas and a pair of armchairs, giving everyone a place to stretch out at the end of the day. The Freeview TV, along with a Blu-ray and DVD player, makes it easy to turn the evening into a film night, while conversation can drift easily between the sitting and dining spaces.
Continue through to the kitchen, where white appliances sit ready for mealtimes and easy holiday living, and where the dishwasher helps with the clearing up after supper. The washing machine is tucked away neatly in the airing cupboard, keeping the practical touches close at hand without interrupting the flow of the space. Step out onto the balcony when you fancy a slower moment, with outdoor furniture ready for a drink in the evening light or a quiet start before the day begins. Outside, this lodge continues to offer little pockets of space to enjoy, from the veranda at the front to the tucked-away paved patio outside the main bedroom, while bike storage is on hand for guests keen to head out on two wheels.
Guests also have the benefit of the holiday park’s facilities, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, bar/restaurant and on-site shop, so everyday essentials and a change of pace are always close by. A pub is only a short stroll away, while the nearest shop is just a short drive when you need to stock up. When you feel like exploring, Gunnislake is nearby for riverside scenery and trips through the Tamar Valley, while Callington offers handy amenities and an easy route into the surrounding countryside. Plymouth is within comfortable reach for a day by the waterfront, with time to wander historic streets, browse the city centre, and watch the boats come and go along the harbour.
Return to 9 Honicombe Park and make it your base for Cornwall adventures.
