“The location was perfect for going out to explore especially with dogs and if you enjoy walking, plenty to do for a week even in winte,r nearby we visited the Eden project and St Austell, Looe and found a lovely village in the Tamar Valley called Calstock 3 miles from Honicombe Manor.”

...

The Honicombe Manor site had everything and was open over the Christmas/New year week the only day closed was New years day. All facillites were operating, an indoor swiming pool and fittness centre, resturant with good selection of pub style food and good size portions, a bar with good selection of wines, beer and spirits. We had a fantastic New years eve here the owners and staff very friendly and welcoming, loved it even more because dogs welcome. Will defintley go back again. I want to just say that the cabin we booked was so well stocked with pots and pans, lots of plates cups, glass ware we had dinner for 7 on New Years day which we cooked in the cabin the kitchen very well fitted out, all looks quite new with dishwasher and washer dyer in the kitchen . Rooms all freshly painted and very clean plenty of warm bedding and lovely views from the balconys front room. Hot tub was great fun and used lots by us, dogs walked every day on site and plenty of dog bins around.

“The lodge was lovely and very clean.”

Few comments to make it better though. The downstairs toilet intermittently kept running and making a noise, the mattresses on some of the beds may need replacing as there were a few complaints of feeling the wires/uncomfortable, could do with a new non stick frying pan and pan in the kitchen. Finally WIFI would be helpful in the lodge- I can’t decide whether it was nice to be without it for a week or not! The comments are not complaints just touches to make it even better- we had a lovely week. The pool and staff on the restaurant were great.

“I think the lodges would benefit from a visitor guest book or feedback form in the properties.”

That way we could have commented on how terrible the showers were but that they were the only thing that was a disappointment. Would also allow guests to suggest places they have visited - things to do or avoid. We had such a lovely holiday.

“Had a brilliant holiday.”

Cottage was very welcoming. Special touches on arrival of tea, coffee and biscuits was much appreciated, new installation of the washer dryer was lovely bonus. Hot tub was brill after a long day out. We had a few inquires and the owner and management team came back to us within the hour which was fabulous service. Would higher recommend this cottage for its peaceful and quite location and a lovely restaurant and facilities within the site. Reading all older reviews I can confirm that all the little niggles have been rectified. I would higher recommend this cottage and would definitely return. Thank you again for a lovely holiday.

The lodge is very tired both showers need looking at the extractor fans don't work so when you have a shower the steam fills the bathrooms the locks on the bathroom doors don't work all the down stairs room are wet/damp so your clothes are damp The hot tub needs attention as the lid lifter is broken some jets don't work and a cover over the pump inlet is missing Honicombe manor park is very tired and is more like a residential park than a holiday park The trees are that tall there is no view from any lodge This is one place we would not go to again

“We loved our holiday in Cornwall and I will definitely return.”

I would not go back to lodge 58 though. When we first arrived I was a bit worried when I seen the outside of the lodge. The weeds were quite high around the entrance and decked area and the wall was cracked. The outside decking and veranda area had not been swept or washed and cobwebs were everywhere. We had to buy air freshener to get rid of the musty smell in the lodge. The beds were very uncomfortable and even the kids were longing for their own beds by the end of the week. Where the park was situated was very isolated and you had to take the car whenever you wanted to venture out.

- Mrs Wilson, July 2018
“The lodge was good value for money.”

It was clean and fit up to 8 people comfortably. The hot tub was a real highlight. The holiday park itself was basic but had a warm pool and the bar/restaurant was ok.

“It was a great place to spend my sisters hen do weekend in, it had everything we needed, on the write up though it said we did not have a freezer or a dishwasher, but it did!”

!! So a big bonus for us but it needed to be on the info so we could have then ordered more frozen food etc for our stay. We ordered a big Tesco shop and they were able to access the lodge easily too Log in time on the generic email siad 3pm but the owners on speaking to them said 4pm, so that was a little confusing, the lodges have only had access to wi-fi in the last twelve months, so it is best to check which lodges have it installed first if that is what you need etc! The on site bar and restaurant have wi-fi though which is only a 2 minute walk up the hill. A very good find :-)

“We loved the lodge very nice.”

People around area where friendly and such a beautiful location

- Mr Harrington, December 2017
“Grandchildren had a wonderful time excellent location, lodge very comfortable and warm, but a few issues in shower room tiles coming off wall and shower surround coming off light wouldn’t say on went off half way through having a shower.”

Bathroom with bath full of little spiders nest toilet took ages to fill , bathroom door difficult to open from the inside. Pulled blind down in kitchen full of dead moths etc so pulled it back up and didn’t pull down again . Kitchen tap very loose sink leaked a bit put a bowl underneath. I know these are only little issues but could be put right very quickly. We was going to write a comment in the visitors book but noticed all the pages ripped out. Bar was closed for a couple of days but didn’t bother us enjoyed the pool and hot tub .

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.
