Accommodation details

This enchanting family-friendly retreat, set on the impressive St Mellion Estate, is just the place for a memorable break, with room for two adults and two children or four adults on a getaway. A wealth of wonderful facilities can be found on-site while, for younger members of the family, South Devon beaches and the Tamar Lakes Area of Outstanding Beauty are both within a 15-mile drive.

Venture across the River Tamar on a ferry and into the bustling city of Plymouth (12 miles) for fun-packed days out or evenings at the theatre. For more leisurely exploration, National Trust properties and gardens abound, including Cotehele Mill, family-friendly Morwellham Quay and Port Elliot Gardens (within 12 miles). Enter this reverse-level turret accommodation and into a spacious hallway with a magnificent spiral staircase, that leads you up into the open-plan living space.

On the ground floor, there are two bedrooms, including a good-size bunk bedroom with storage space. The other bedroom is the master super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom (which can be made up as a twin on request at the time of booking).
