    “We absolutely love staying at Tor Down Quarry.”

    This is our third stay. Previously we have stayed in Costentyn lodge but this year we stayed in Mellydonen. All the lodges are beautiful, really well kitted out, everything has been thought out so well. We loved the position of Melly, with the most incredible views over Bodmin moor from the hot tub. The owners Kirsty and John are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. On a previous stay we got a flat tyre on the last evening. Kirsty helped us with food for the kids as we were supposed to be ...

    This is our third stay. Previously we have stayed in Costentyn lodge but this year we stayed in Mellydonen. All the lodges are beautiful, really well kitted out, everything has been thought out so well. We loved the position of Melly, with the most incredible views over Bodmin moor from the hot tub. The owners Kirsty and John are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. On a previous stay we got a flat tyre on the last evening. Kirsty helped us with food for the kids as we were supposed to be going out, and John helped us get to the garage the next day. Really went out of their way to help. It’s perfectly located to visit the north coast of Cornwall, but also the surrounding areas which is more inland , and the village of St Breward is lovely too for gorgeous walks, and has a brilliant pub. Totally recommend the Sunday roast! We don’t return every year as we always think we should try somewhere new, but then we have to come back as nowhere in Cornwall compares for us. We will definitely be back.

The property

Mellydone Beder Del is a stunning, single-storey lodge situated on the outskirts of St Breward in Cornwall.

Set within a large quarry and with two lakes, this unique retreat offers a first-class getaway for families and friends to Cornwall.

Illuminated with natural light, the contemporary open-plan living space offers a delightful space to relax in the evening; take a seat on the sumptuous sofa before the Smart TV, tuning into your favourite on-demand shows or simply reminiscing over the holiday so far.

Head to the breakfast bar and keep the chef of the group company whilst they get acquainted with all the mod cons, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, so you won’t have to lift a finger when it comes to washing up!

When the evening draws to a close, retire to one of the three bedrooms, each tastefully furnished with crisp white bed linen and enjoying en-suite facilities and Smart TVs, so you can resume your binge watching in bed!

After the thrill and excitement of a day on the moors or enjoying the exhilarating lakes, relax in the hot tub out on the terrace, before returning to the lodge, or gather your loved ones for an alfresco meal.

When it comes to dining out, you have two of the finest moorland pubs in Cornwall just two miles away; head to the award-winning Old Inn, dating back to the 11th century, or book a table at the Blisand Inn, famous for its quality range of real ale and former national CAMRA pub of the year award.

Nearby, Poley’s Bridge marks the beginning of the Camel Trail, a 17-mile long route, which follows a long, disused old steam engine railway line to Padstow.

Pop on your walking boots to venture into the rugged landscapes of Bodmin Moor, or head to the coast with your buckets and spades and enjoy a day on one of the many beaches resting along Cornwall’s northern coastline, including Polzeath Beach, Harlyn Bay Beach, and Tregardock Beach.

Alternatively, you might prefer some sightseeing so visit the TV home of Doc Martin at Port Isaac or venture to Tintagel where the legend of King Arthur abounds at Tintagel Castle and Merlin’s Cave.

With so much to do close by, as well as being within reach of the north and south coast of Cornwall, a stay at Mellydone Beder Del promises life-long memories with your loved ones.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

About the location

ST BREWARD

Bodmin 7 miles; Lostwithiel 14 miles; Padstow 17 miles; St Austell 20 miles.

St Breward is a small village set amongst beautiful countryside in Cornwall, about 7 miles from Bodmin. The village offers all the amenities you will require during your stay with a shop, village hall, church, two playgrounds and a pub. A footpath in the village creates a nice circular loop past the holy well, the church and across the River Camel. Nearby, you can also enjoy the Camel Trail which is popular with both walkers and cyclists and winds its way through the town Wadebridge on its journey to the sea at Padstow. On the edge of the town of Bodmin is the fascinating museum and haunting presence of the old Bodmin Jail, which was built from granite excavated from this very quarry back in 1840. Close by are the open spaces and wind swept grandeur of Bodmin Moor while the incomparable Eden Project (11 miles), Falmouth’s National Maritime Museum (30 miles) and the beautiful harbour town of Padstow with its famous pubs and restaurants (16 miles) make for great days out. There is a good choice of country pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area.
