If you are lucky, you might spot an otter playing on the riverbank or kingfisher darting along the river as it meanders past your garden. The quiet holiday village of Inny Vale is a great place to come and relax.
Your detached lodge has both a front and rear garden, both with garden seating where you can savour your morning coffee, or evening tipple after a busy day, listening to the gentle water and wildlife around you. Bliss. Once inside, you are greeted by an open plan space, with superbly equipped kitchen, dining area and cosy living area with inviting sofas and double set of doors leading outside, and woodland views. Stairs lead you up to the first floor where two ‘steeple’ effect bedrooms with wonderful wooden beams and eves await you. One has a kingsize bed, the second twin beds – children will love this room! A family bathroom with shower over a bath, perfect for that leisurely, long soak will also be found on this floor.
Should you able to leave this woodland wonder; you will find such delights as the coastal villages of Boscastle and Tintagel within 8 miles; the former pretty and unspoilt, the latter entwined with the legend of King Arthur, with both castle and amazing footbridge suspended over the crashing waves below you to visit. The beaches here are sublime, long stretches of gold with craggy rocks, inlets and coves plus rock pools to explore. To the North lies Bude, a family favourite town with many beaches, some ideal for all things water-sport, including surfing from the Atlantic swell. To the south, Padstow is a must visit, with boutique shops, cafés and restaurants inspired by celebrity chefs serving the freshest catches from the fishing fleet. Inland, the towns of Bodmin and Wadebridge have many amenities and the famous Camel Trail can be followed as it winds its way though glades and valleys, revealing beauty hidden from roadside view. Beach 6 miles.

Comfortable property with everything we needed. Enclosed garden really good for the dog. The children liked using the tennis court on site (free). Good location for beaches and sights.

Great place to stay. Really enjoyed the place. Very pet friendly and garden well fenced off. Very quiet and peaceful.However. Some small points that was a surprise. Didn't ruin stay but need attention. Only one loo roll. Couldn't get one set of doors to open. Light bulbs in downstairs and upstairs loo and main bedroom upstairs not workingHeater in upstairs bathroom not working. Not a fault of the owner. But the local. Chinese had really bad attitude and very rude and cash only. Local fish and chips and gurka were cash only be aware.
