This family-friendly lodge provides the ultimate Cornish bolthole for you and yours to spend quality time together. Located on the Notter Mill Country Park complex with fun facilities, it’s in Notter Bridge, 3.5 miles from Saltash. Suited to a group of friends or family, it makes a great spot for a multi-generational break with accommodation all on one level. There’s plenty to do on the complex itself with a shared kids’ play area, tennis court and swimming pool (open end of May to early September) and you have your own private hot tub to while away the hours in – relaxing by day or stargazing by night.
This lodge-style cottage has a wonderfully spacious feel and is bright and airy, giving it a relaxing and open vibe. The open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen has a double-height ceiling, with an open fire in a feature roof-height brick chimney in the comfortable lounge area, slightly off to the side and with access to outside. There’s room for all of you at the modern dining table which is next to another external door and also adjoins the contemporary kitchen which has all mod cons. You’re sure to sleep soundly in the wonderfully calm king-size bedroom with light decor and furnishings. The remaining bedroom is a triple with bunks and an extra single. Outside you have a private furnished patio with hot tub sheltered by a wooden gazebo, plus shared lawns.
There’s plenty to keep you occupied here. There’s even a pub within 500 metres for those nights when you don’t want to cook. The River Lynher runs past too, so wander its banks looking out for wildlife. It’s an excellent base for touring Cornwall, both inland and along its rugged coastline. The National Trust has offerings in the area: Antony, an 18th-century house in landscaped gardens (13miles); and the Tudor house and impressive estate of Cotehele (9 miles).
