About this property
Camelford 4.7 miles. Perfectly located for touring Cornwall, Lilyvale is a homely, detached holiday home set alongside the upper reaches of the River Inny, in a picturesque valley on the Inny Vale Holiday Village near Camelford. The front door of the property opens into a porch with a slate floor, which in turn leads into an open-plan living area offering comfortable sitting and dining areas, as well as a fully-equipped kitchen. There are two well-furnished bedrooms, a double and a twin, both serviced by a sleek family bathroom. While outside there is a south-facing patio with a brick-built barbecue. This wonderful space catches the sun all day and is the perfect spot for alfresco dining, while just 100 yards away is a tennis court, free to residents. Lilyvale is set in the quaint village of Davidstow and lies, conveniently, a short drive from Camelford which houses local stores to help ease your self-catered stay and pubs including The Knights of The Round Table and Masons Arms which both serve delicious food, perfect for the nights when you don’t fancy cooking! Head over to Boscastle, a charming fishing port, for a full day out, explore the Site of Bottreaux Castle before strolling along the harbour where you can admire breath-taking views out to sea; there is also the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic for guests looking for something unique. Alternatively spend sunny days in the town of Tintagel and explore the historic links to King Arthur that are laced throughout by visiting Tintagel Castle, the supposed birthplace of King Arthur, The Great Hall and Merlin’s Cave. Just below the cave you can find Tintagel Haven, a true hidden gem where you can marvel at unbeatable views across the azure, or amble through the cliff top to just breathe in the sea air. Delight in the wonders of Cornwall with Lilyvale as your base.
Camelford, an ancient market town close to Cornwall's north coast, is a great base from which to discover Bodmin Moor's wild country as well as the region's high cliffs, hidden coves, fishing villages, and surfing beaches. This historic market town is stocked with stores selling delicious regional foods. The South West Coastal Path is popular all year round, and its surrounding towns and communities are home to many charming inns and eateries. To name just a few, there is Tintagel, Boscastle, Polzeath, Bossiney, Trebarwith, and Tregardock beaches for surfing and the fascinating tiny worlds of the rock pools, as well as Wadebridge for a great day out shopping and the Camel Trail for biking and walking. Another must-see is Launceston, the old capital of Cornwall with its 13th-century castle. Tintagel is home to a stunning castle, Merlin's Cave, the Glebe Cliffs and Tintagel Old Post Office (both of which are maintained by the National Trust), and the King Arthur's Arms Inn. In a relatively short amount of time, you can reach a wide variety of exciting destinations perfect for day trips.
