“Car parking was not very good when we went out and came back our space had been taken.”

We didn't think lodge had been deep cleaned as it should have been. Both showers were very poor, the fridge was not very clean inside, and the door racks had been screwed back with woodscrews and would not hold any bottles. Settees and beds were uncomfortable. All in all this lodge needs a thorough overall to get it back to the standard we have always had booking with Sykes. We will continue booking with Sykes as one as we have always had very good holidays in the past.

“Run down and unclean.”

Damp issue and mould that could easily of been wiped left all over. Radiator leaked and lots of the light bulbs didn't work. Disappointed overall. Stated free WiFi but that's a lie. No WiFi available on the site atall and signal isn't great, no 4G. Left it cleaner then when we arrived. Parking is far away and hit and miss, only space for 3 cars, long and steep walk to the cottage. It was ok as a base, had the bare minimum to make it functional.
Miss Langlois February 2020

“Very happy with the accommodation, the downstairs level where bedrooms were, was bigger than anticipated, lovely decor.”

Everything you need in the kitchen My favourite part was the sitting room with a beautiful large french door leading to the balcony, comfortable, warm, plenty of sofas for the family to gather. Also our first private hot tub holidays, and think it will be difficult to go without on our next holidays, because that was such a plus !
Mrs Hodder February 2020

“The only thing i would advise people that is not in any listing, I have now stayed in two Lodges at Callington , just remember the upside down house/lodges seem to be a really good idea , but not in the morning when you have early risers all you can hear is the creaking floor and I mean its so loud you definitely can't get back to sleep, something to think about if you want a nice relaxing non early rise holiday.”
Mr Clarke September 2019

“We had a lovely time in lodge 58, The whole place was clean and tidy when we arrived and the hot tub was ready to use straight away.”

There is not a lot around so i would advise doing a shop on your way otherwise its a drive to Callington but even that is not that far once you find the way!!! (we may have got a little lost!!!) There is no wi-fi in the lodge but there is up in the main house so its not like we couldn't get online when we needed and after all we were on holiday to relax and get away from it all, So we sat in the bar every night and checked in with email etc . . . What a shame we had to do that with a large Gin !!!! All in all we had a lovely time I would recommend booking Pentillie castle near St Mellion for an afternoon tea and walk around the grounds also the old steam fair was amazing. Thank you for a lovely holiday, We will be booking again.
Mrs Hutchinson August 2019

“We had a lovely time at this cottage, it was comfortable and had all that we needed.”

The hot tub was especially good. However there was a few bad points, the first being the cottage needed a thorough deep clean. We needed to clean the majority of the kitchen before we used it and the cottage was in a general state of disrepair which is a real shame because it would be beautiful with a bit of TLC. If this was sorted we would definitely stay again !!
Mrs Patrick August 2019

“Lodge needs updating and new beds and settees Couple of issues we had were rectified asap by the owner and the maintenance staff (who was very friendly and helpful) but the main problem was damp downstairs in the bedrooms.”
Mr Greenwood July 2019

“General comments - 1.”

Bed mattresses very uncomfortable. 2. Indoor Decoration poor. 3. Outside ground floor patio in need of repair. 4. Outdoor paintwork needs attention. 5. General state of the cottage run down for start of the season. 6. Not withstanding the above we had a good holiday and would return to the site, but likely to request a different cottage. 7. On site staff very friendly and very helpful. 8. General site clean and tidy.
Mr Jay June 2019

“The issues we had with the cabin was the car park was so far away and with the steeps paths to the cabin this was a problem, the advert said about steeps paths and steps but a photo would of been handy.”

I wouldn’t have booked this cabin if I would of known this. The trees nr the balcony need pruning as the view was looking into a dead tree and another tree which would of been nice if this had been pruned so we had the view of the valley. The main issue of the cabin was it smelt very bad once we came back every day. I think the carpet upstairs smelt like wet dogs, my personal opinion get rid of the carpet and put down a wooden floor with a rug.
Mrs Falla-wilson April 2019

“Valley lodge 58 provided us with a fabulous central base for our holiday.”

The property was clean and ready for us on arrival (including hot tub temperature). A very relaxed and dog friendly site including pub and entertainment . The kid loved the pool, tennis courts and games room. The information we recieved before arrival was very helpful, especially road closures.
Mr Scott April 2019

“No way did it say in the brochure that is WAS not suitable for people with mobility issues.”

...the steps up to the lodge were very very steep and very uneven, especially trying to carry all the luggage and it was almost impossible for some of us with leg problems...I really think you should have said more about the accessibility up to the lodge, and when it was dark there was no lighting round back, could not see all the pot holes....this was just awful ....you should have checked this out ....the table could not be used as it was impossible to cook and eat at the same time....it was a really horrible holiday...we all hated the thought of going out and coming back...you needed to be a mountain goat, why did you not say all this in your brochure .....we paid a good money for this few days a way....don’t think we will use you again.
Mrs Extence December 2018

“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.
Mr & Mrs Haycock October 2018

“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.
Mrs Harding October 2018

“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.

The property

Tamar Valley Resort offers great value accommodation in a scenic haven well known for its outstanding natural beauty.

The lodge-style accommodation is well placed for guests looking to explore a little of both Cornwall and Devon with some fantastic local attractions nearby. 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. Just a short walk from the on site leisure facilities including indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, bar/restaurant, shop and reception are the Valley Lodges.

During the school holidays there is a busy programme of entertainment including quiz nights and karaoke plus sporting activities (seasonal, subject to availability, extra charges apply) including archery, rock climbing, canoeing and abseiling.

Arranged in small clusters along the valley stream, these typical lodge-style holiday homes are arranged over two floors with upstairs and downstairs terraces from which to enjoy the outside space.

With the living space upstairs, guests are able to step out on to a decked balcony and take in the rural outlook towards Dartmoor and across the Tamar Valley. The accommodation is spacious and well presented; perfect for families and friends to kick back and relax after a day at the beach or walking adventure.

The private hot tub on the decked area is a real luxury - ideal for an evening tipple or sun soaked bathe.

The open-plan living room is the heart of the homestay with doors to the decked balcony with seating and table for sunshine dining and leafy views beyond.

The dining area with big table for feasts and board games, makes a great social space and the kitchen is modern and bright.

The ground floor bedrooms are comfy with ample storage space; the master leads out to the decked patio area and has a Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom.

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.
