The small village of St Mellion is situated on the Devon/Cornwall border, close to Crocadon quarry, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (sssi) and the St Mellion International Resort, which offers golf, leisure and spa facilities. Just 6 miles away is the town of Saltash, which is dominated by the magnificent Tamar Bridge, one of Brunel’s masterpieces of engineering. The bridge takes people from Devon to Cornwall across the Tamar River, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the town also offers a number of shops and pubs, as well as narrow streets, which rise steeply from the banks of the river. From the old quayside there are river trips up stream to Calstock, a pretty village with white cottages on a steep hillside. Here, the 120 foot giant 11-arched Calstock Railway Viaduct towers above the River Tamar and carries one of Britain’s most picturesque branch lines down to the coast. The area offers some beautiful walks and cycle routes within the locality of St Mellion, plus the exploration of both moors, Bodmin and Dartmoor and the picturesque coastal paths and beaches of North and South coasts. The city of Plymouth is within driving distance, from where there is plenty to occupy visitors, including the historic Plymouth Hoe and Barbican quayside area with cafés, shops and bistros, the National Marine Aquarium and several theatres. There is something for everyone. Cornwall has many cultural attractions with National Trust properties, such as Cotelhele House & Quay just a few miles away, or the Minnack Theatre, Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project all within easy reach. St Mellion is the perfect base for exploring both Cornwall and Devon.

In truth, it would be hard to find any faults at all. The cottage is beautiful; spotlessly clean, equipped with everything you could need. In fact the pictures don't really do it justice, especially with the size of the property. We had 6 adults and 2 dogs in our party, and we had more than enough room. The hot tub was a nice bonus too! Mark and Leeanne were always very helpful when we saw them. During our stay we visited Looe and Polperro Village (30 minute drive), and Padstow (60 minute drive). For the more active, Adrenalin Quary is only 15 minutes away. All in all we had a wonderful time, and would certainly highly recommend this property.

Very clean and tidy on arrival with a nice little welcome package. Having a hot tub under the stars was an amazing experience. Plenty of space for parking multiple cars, would definitely go back with all the family.
Paul
Great location. The pictures don't really show the sheer size of the old barn. Good secure garden for the dogs. Well equipped throughout. Great hot tub. Good WiFi but very little phone signal ( which isnt a bad thing!) Had a couple of queries that were dealt with very quickly by the owners. Hopefully will be back , would recommend .
