Upstairs, catch some rest in the remaining two bedrooms, another double and another twin, each with TVs, ahead of another busy day of exploring. Warmer months can be spent out in the garden, home to a picnic bench and a barbecue, giving you an alternative dining arrangement for dinner and wine in the last of the summer sun. Take advantage of the facilities on the Honicombe Park site, which range from tennis courts and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, to children's play areas and archery lessons. You can even dine out with the nearby restaurant, and stock up on your essentials at the local shop. Alternatively, visit Callington, a nearby town with a fantastic selection of shops, pubs, and eateries, as well as attractions such as the 15th-century St Mary's Church, the Pannier Market, and the wonderful mural project. For the more active, there are miles of walks in the Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or spend an afternoon at Cotehele, a National Trust property. Cross the county line and into Plymouth for a day of shopping and plenty of restaurants and pubs to choose from. The Harbour Seafood Restaurant and Takeaway is a great place to enjoy fresh seafood, and there are plenty of other attractions in this historic and beautiful city, including the National Marine Aquarium, Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park, and Devil's Point.
