“No WIFIi available at all throughout stay.”

Though initially promised by Kevin and Jaime would sort it out, nothing happened and no follow up contact was received from them. ...

Though initially promised by Kevin and Jaime would sort it out, nothing happened and no follow up contact was received from them. Heating times erratic - came on at 3.30 am and went off 7.00 am (making it very hot in the bedrooms during the night!!) then again on at 11.00 am - we were out duriing the day so goodness know when it went off again! Usually returned late afternoon by which time it was off and remained off all evening, which made it a bit chilly sitting around in the evening. Timer clock had not been altered to BST. Hot water was initially warm when arrived and lasted through to Wednesday evening when it remained cold for rest of stay making the shower in the bathroom un-useable. DVD only worked once and even though we tried different DVDs would not play through TV again. Stayed at Honicombe 4 years ago in a holiday apartment similar to Tamar 35 and had no problems which is why we booked again- not the same apartment though! We were shocked to see the state of the surrounds of the holiday park... long grass, full of weeds; looking unkempt and uncared for. We shall not be returning, even to a different apartment. Lesson learned for future: Only book holiday accommodation where the owner is on site or easily contactable. I think somesort of financial recompense is due for what turned out to be an uncomfortable few days. Things stated to be provided that weren't: Wifi; 2 showers; heating and hot water. Pleased to arrive home on Saturday. Two of the party left Friday!

“The park tidiness left a lot to be desired making it look a bit run down could do with sprucing up”

- Colin, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback re the park tidiness, we have contacted the site manager who has said, there are two reasons for the condition of the grounds, the first was that the groundsman was off ill for the week, so some areas were not cut as per usual. The second is that some areas are nesting sites and, given that this is a very rural site, situated in an AONB, there is a responsibility to the local flora and fauna, cutting is deliberately avoided until after May. We can confirm that our groundsman has returned and the site is back up to standard (apart from the areas mentioned above, which will be done in June). Property Owner

“There was a damp smell on arrival.”

Turns out the bedrooms are all cold and damp - not a problem for us as we were there in a heatwave and they actually aided sleep. However, in normal circumstances I would have been rather unhappy. Place is well equipped and really homely but the view was not as in the photos - the trees have really grown up and sadly almost blocked the view. Facilities were not ideal due to COVID. Pool booking was a pain. The games room was locked most of the stay and sadly the games had to be paid for. The photos make the site look nicer and the facilities bigger than in real life and there are too many properties sharing very small facilities. All in all, adequate but we won’t return.

- Ailsa, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback. Due to the sylvan location of the property this gives the downstairs bedrooms slightly less light. Covid has caused such an unprecedented times. Property Owner

“Really lovely accommodation.”

A lovely open plan space upstairs, with ample room for everyone to be relaxed and comfortable. Accommodation very well equipped. The main bathroom and additional shower room perfect for our family of 5. The site itself is lovely, the indoor pool was wonderful and due to covid restrictions was operated on limited occupants. Again this was excellent. I would highly recommend staying here for all the above reasons, but also as a good base for visiting the surrounding areas. 5 stars

“Accommodation was lovely and the open plan living area made it a good sociable space.”

Very quiet park.

Ruth June 2021

“We had a fantastic 2 weeks at 35 Tamar - the photos of the living area do not do it justice, the area is huge, and we soon worked out the heating/hot water arrangements.”

The owner and the housekeeper checked we were ok and sent us lots of information, which was also a lovely touch. The swimming pools and the bar/restaurant are both open and working well and the site is a perfect base to explore both the hills and the beach, just watch your sat nav, it will send you down a lot of single track roads (and we live in the country so we are used to them :)) - we all agreed we would want to come back again.

“The property was dirty which was surprising given Covid.”

We had to spend the first day cleaning. The property is dated and full of unnecessary clutter, again surprising given Covid. The shower was barely functional! The site itself was rundown and in need of a good gardener. However, the staff were fantastic, really helpful and friendly.

- Andrea, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. The owners were sorry and surprised to hear your comments: any such concerns could have been raised during your stay. Previous feedback has always been so positive and the owners stayed there themselves in the subsequent week and reported that they found it 'clean and tidy and the site looking the best it has been for the past three years. The electric shower in the property may not win any awards, but it is certainly functional and does the job.' In terms of the site itself: in some areas the grass has been left to grow long, but this is to encourage wildflowers and the bee population. Property Owner
Kim August 2020

“A brilliant base to explore Cornwall.”

Lots to do within a short car ride from trail walks, beaches and the train station. The house has everything you need and plenty of space, even with 4 children. The bedrooms can get chilly in the evening but heating soon sorted that out. One of the best holidays we’ve had!

- Kim, August 2020

“Two broken shelves in fridge door.”

Dishwasher would have been perfect. House was very well equipped spacious and comfortable. Site was clean and swimming pools a great asset.

“The lodge was bigger than the pictures make it look.”

It's in a great location to discover either east cornwall or even Devon.

Emma April 2019

“We have just returned from a week's stay and you can't quite tell from the pictures just how big the apartment is but it was huge!”

! On arrival there were scones, cream, jam and a bottle of prosecco which was a really lovely touch. You literally just need your clothes and turn up as there was washing up liquid, washing powder and softener there already plus sachets of milk in the fridge, tea bags, coffee sachets and sugar ready for your first cuppa. There are lots of games, books, dvds, cds, kids toys in the apartment which our 4 and 8 year olds thought was amazing! The site is lovely, as is the indoor pool. We will definitely return in the future :-)

Christel March 2019

“The accommodation was fantastic.”

Very we’ll equipt and comfortable with everything you could need come rain or shine. There’s a great supply of books, walking maps and kids games at the property. The on-site facilities were also very clean and good for filling a rainy day. Cream tea on arrival to the property and a bottle of wine was also a lovely supprise. We had some issues working out how to turn on the hot water on arrival and Sykes were very helpful and quick to resolve the issue. I would definitely recommend this property and will hope to stay here again.

Susan October 2018

“We stayed at Tamar 35 and had a fantastic time.”

After a 7 hour drive the wine, scones, cream and jam where a lovely surprise. The lodge was very spacious and had everything you could want and plenty to keep kids of all ages entertained if the weather isn’t great. The site facilities are good, the swimming pool was warm, the pub is dog and family friendly. We walked through the forest to Cothele and also visited Calstock both are well worth a visit, calstock is free parking and a good walk along the river for the dog and there is a great ice cream shop. We will definitely book again

“Everything a family could possible need was supplied at this cottage, brilliant holiday and weather was very good as well!”

- Carole, September 2018
Jason August 2018

“Good sized, well appointed, furnished & equipped accommodation.”

The living space was particularly good for a family of 5, which meant rainy days were not too stressful. The holiday park was OK, perhaps a little dated. The indoor pool was well used by us, and a good size for our family. We didn’t use the bar/restaurant area, as we found an excellent 15th century pub (Carpenters Arms) just a few mins drive away in a nearby village.

- Jason, August 2018
Sue August 2018

“Beautiful property, very clean and equipt with so many extras that made the holiday perfect.”

We went for a week August and have booked for 2wks next year as we were sad to leave. Swimming pools beautiful and clean and bar facilities for food and low key entertainment which all the family could take part. Dogs fully welcome. Area very good for visiting a large number of destinations to suit all ages. Parking cannot be guaranteed to be outside your premises but everyone found a space and everyone seemed quite relaxed about it. WiFi may not be great to some but it's better than my part of Wales so we were quite happy . Telephone reception a bit intermittent but I got a good signal near the bar and also sometimes within the property. I mainly used the WiFi. Brilliant holiday, can't wait to go again.

Jaimie May 2018

“When we arrived at the property we thought the facilities were good, we did notice a damp smell as soon as we walked in, over the week the smell got worse to a point that we left early (I have a 10 month old baby and didn’t want it affecting his health).”

The facilities at the rest of the site were ok but dated and the grounds were unkept. It is in a good part of Cornwall With activities close by. I was disappointed if I knew how damp the property was I wouldn’t have booked it

“The property Tamar 35 was a delightful place to spend Christmas with family.”

Spacious, cosy, light, great layout. Well equipped. Nice decoration. Beautifully clean when we arrived. Indoor pool was much bigger than we expected and big hit with the children. Great place for walking and not far from dramatic north coast. We had a great time.

About the location

CALLINGTON

Tavistock 9 miles; Launceston 11.5 miles, Plymouth 14.6 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.
