Mr Wilcox August 2020

“The check in and check out times are ridiculous its like losing two days of holiday after a 5 plus hour drive toget there we then had to wait a further 4 hours before we could access the rental, we looked inside through windows and the cleaning had already been finished this was 1pm, once inside we noticed the bedrooms to be damp and musty , when it rained we had water pouring in to the bedroom from the ceiling by window , so had to move bed away, also the floor was wet under the bed in other bedroom wetting the suitcase, the place was fairly clean but tired and in need of tlc, heater in dining room not working , we tried to enjoy our time there but could have been better.”

The worst thing was that we couldnt even pay to use swimming pools, because the owner didnt subscribe to use them , there is a lot of of inhouse arguments between owners of properties and owner of resort resulting in them saying no to people who rent private property such as our one, we were told that if we had said we were from the villages local we could have paid 4pound to use facilities sad state of affairs for a holiday resort, also the so called on site shop is virtually non existent hardly stocking much of anything and is situated inside reception so closes when they shut normally around 4 to 5 so no good if u run out of anything, lastly the pub on site is unwelcoming, quite barren and eating facilities leave a lot to be desired, apperently the gent who runs the pub also runs the pools and sad gym and originally had banned people from anywhere other than the resort owned properties to use anything and the whole place nearly closed so we were told by another owner , the place needs money and time spent on it and could be so much better ps the owner of our rental didnt subscribe to use pools because apperently they want to charge 1500 plus vat for the privilage, i dont blame him for saying no , would think unless they change the way they run the place it could dissapear sad as could be so much better, we wont be going back and will be telling family and friends not to bother either.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. Unfortunately due to Covid-19, for your safety, extra time is required by our housekeepers for cleaning the property for your arrival. This is unavoidable. With regard to the leak that you have mentioned, we understand that our Property Manager visited the property to check this and found no problem associated with water ingress, as we believe you were advised at the time. Finally, we do not subscribe to the on-site facilities, and we try to make that clear to our guests before they book. Owner relations

“Another lovely holiday can't wait till next year to go back”
Mrs Hamer October 2019

“On arrival there was a musty smell in all the rooms and we had no heating in the front rooms for one night.”

w#Was sorted out by the caretaker I think who came knowing the problem and had brought an extra heater with him anticipating the problem.. He told us that the heater in the room has not been working for years, this to me seems that the property is not being checked each year. Whenever we went out and returned there was still a musty smell. This is one property we will not be returning to.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to our feedback request. We are very surprised by your comments as there is a convector heater in the front room & none of the guests this year have mentioned any issues with the property heating. We have tasked our maintenance firm to investigate any issue and can assure future guests that the heating issue if any will be resolved. Despite the points raised we are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Owner relations

“This cottage was bigger than expected it was clean comfortable and lovely and warm, it’s also situated in a good location for travel round Cornwall and Devon.”

Would definitely go back there again and the actual park was also good for dogs.
Mrs Parfitt September 2019

“It was a good holiday.”

Close to many places of interest. Plenty of places to walk and good for dog owners and families.
Mrs Capper September 2019

Mr Stewart July 2019

“The facilities were great for us traveling each day, to explore Cornwall .”

Not much to do on site.
Mr Keeler June 2019

“The bungalow was absolutely fantastic.”

. so we equipped and so many games to play .. we will be back
Mr Dickens May 2019

“It was a pleasant experience staying in ManorCombe 40, very good value for money and when we stayed it was very quiet and peaceful.”

The dog loved having lots of grass to wander on as well. Very well equipped holiday lodge.
Mrs Brunt April 2019

“A lovely holiday home to visit, has everything you need to have a very comfortable holiday.”
Mr Howlett April 2019

“The property was listed as having wifi but only had an EE dongle that we were told would work in a laptop.”

It didn’t work in mine. Also who normally takes a laptop on holiday? I feel it should not be advertised as having WiFi. I did email you about this on our first day there as it was very necessary for us to have WiFi as we are walking lands end to john o groats and needed to look at maps, routes etc online as well as onward booking. There were other issues like if you were running a hot tap if you then ran another hot or cold tap the hot water system would airlock in the kitchen. So until the air found its way out, about a day later, we had to fill the washing up bowl from the bathroom. There should be written info on this somewhere in the property. We did notice in the guest book that several previous guests had complained about problems and having to call out the caretaker. We are normally the sort of guest that adjusts if things arnt quite right but on this occasion it was not possible and, due to the 2 reasons above, we left the property 2 days early on Thursday 11th April.

The property

Tamar Valley Resort offers great value accommodation in a scenic haven in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The villa-style accommodation is well placed for guests looking to explore both Cornwall and Devon and has some fantastic local attractions nearby.

Within a short drive is the National Trust property, Cotehele, a Tudor house and valley garden estate set above the River Tamar.

A little further afield you can visit the glorious sandy beach at Whitsand Bay with dramatic scenery and sheer cliffs.

Equally accessible are Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor National Park with undulating moorlands and a myriad of historic sites and monuments - a rambler's dream. Nestled deep in the heart of the Tamar Valley resort, are the Manorcombe bungalows - a collection of single storey holiday cottages designed with simplicity and practicality in mind.

Set back from the road, each property benefits from floor to ceiling windows showering the open plan living space with natural light. Manorcombe 40 provides a sociable holiday home to return to after a day of exploring the Cornish countryside.

The open plan living space is bright and welcoming with big comfy sofas for all the family to relax on, perhaps to watch a film or enjoy a board game.

To one side is a well equipped kitchen, perfect for keen cooks, and a separate stylish dining room.

However if you're not in the mood for cooking then you can head out to the pub/restaurant which is within walking distance.

There are two well appointed double bedrooms, both with ample storage, crisp linens and comfortable beds.

The peaceful rural location ensures a restful break.

A sparkling modern bathroom with separate WC completes the accommodation.

South facing the patio with all weather rattan seating at the front are perfect for a lazy lunch or simply relaxing in the Cornish sunshine whilst the children enjoy a game on the lawn beyond.

About the location

CALLINGTON

Tavistock 9 miles; Launceston 11.5 miles.

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.
