    “When we arrived at the property, we were pleased with the general look of the park and the surroundings.”

    On the inside, however, it was a completely different story. The smell of damp (which had been mentioned in at least one other review) was present as soon as we walked in, but wasn’t too bad on the first day. In the kitchen, there were lots of unclean glasses and crockery, the fridge was dirty and we spent the next couple of hours cleaning the kitchen….not ideal at all!!!!

    On the inside, however, it was a completely different story.

In the kitchen, there were lots of unclean glasses and crockery, the fridge was dirty and we spent the next couple of hours cleaning the kitchen….not ideal at all!!!! The rest of the property was pretty good, though there was mould on the ceiling of the main bathroom. The property was quite spacious and would have been a great place to stay had the damp feel of the property got worse as our holiday went on. It became so bad, that even our kids were commenting on it. On the positive side, the property accommodated 2 adults and three teenagers and the park itself was well maintained. On the negative side, the damp, unclean kitchen, mould in the bathroom and a couple of worrying rotten timbers on the balcony left us disappointed with our holiday…..so much so, that we left a day early because we didn’t want to sleep in a damp environment.

    Hello Roy. I'm very sorry to hear of your experience, I can only apologize about the unclean state of the kitchen, I have spoken to housekeeping about your concern. We have been waiting to install a positive input ventilation unit, which has now been installed in the lodge and should eliminate the problem with any damp issues. Property Owner

The property

Valley Lodge 61 is a modern lodge set in the leafy Tamar Valley Resort, in Callington: a collection of purpose built and privately owned self-catering holiday properties. Ideally located to explore the delights of Devon and Cornwall, there are some local attractions within easy reach, too.

This detached property is peacefully situated away from roads and traffic noise.

It boasts four ground floor bedrooms including: one double room with doors opening to the terrace, two twin rooms and a further double.

There is a Jack and Jill family bathroom with bath, shower over, basin and WC plus an additional ground floor shower room with a basin and WC.

The contemporary kitchen /dining area and sitting room is located on the first floor with doors leading to the balcony – suitable for al fresco dining.

Just a short walk from the on-site leisure facilities including indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, bar, shop and reception.

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

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 scenic Dartmoor National Park with rolling moorland and seemingly endless historic sites, tors and monuments - a rambler's dream.

Valley Lodge 61 is a real home from home: an ideal choice for families, friends and couples.

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.
