About this property
Valley Lodge 61 is a lodge-style holiday home in Tamar Valley Resort, a development of purpose-built and privately owned self-catering holiday cottages in Callington. The lodge-style accommodation is perfectly placed to explore both Cornwall and Devon and has some fantastic local attractions close by. This detached lodge sits in a beautiful setting with big country views from the balcony. Perfect for socialising, the open plan sitting area is light and airy and offers plenty of space, opening onto a balcony for alfresco dining or sundowner drink. The separate kitchen is contemporary. Located away from the roads and traffic noise, guests will enjoy a good night's sleep in the four ground-floor bedrooms.
Just a short walk from the on-site leisure facilities, including indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, bar, shop and reception. During the school holidays, there is a busy program of entertainment including quiz nights and karaoke, plus sporting activities (seasonal, subject to availability, extra charges apply), including archery, rock climbing, canoeing and abseiling. Within a short drive is Cotehele, a Tudor house and valley garden estate set above the River Tamar or a little further afield, you can visit the glorious sandy beach at Whitsand Bay with dramatic scenery and sheer cliffs. Equally accessible is the magical Dartmoor National Park with undulating moorlands and a myriad of historic sites and monuments - a rambler's dream.
Valley Lodge 61 is a real home from home and perfect for families, friends and couples.
Callington is a Cornish market town, rich in mining heritage and overlooked by Kit Hill, the highest point in the area, donated to the people of Cornwall by Prince Charles to celebrate the birth of Prince William. From the top of Kit Hill there are fabulous views across south-east Cornwall as far as Plymouth Sound. Callington is set in the heart of the Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and offers a good selection of shops, inns and cafes, as well as being the home of Ginsters Cornish pasties. A few miles away, the quaint village of Calstock clings to the steep banks of the river Tamar and is dominated by the splendid Calstock Railway Viaduct, a giant 11-arched stone construction supporting one of Britain’s most picturesque branch lines running through the Tamar Valley. Other interesting places along the river are Cotehele, a beautiful historic house and gardens owned by the National Trust with a small quay and inn, and Morwhellam Quay, a theme park that staged a living history production for the BBC and where visitors can explore the rich mining heritage and watch blacksmiths, potters and craftsmen at work. The pannier market town of Tavistock is only nine miles from Callington and is well worth a visit on your way to a day’s walk on Dartmoor. A splendid base to explore south Cornwall and West Devon.
