“Unfortunately on arrival we where greeted by dog poo on the balcony and no cot or stair gate, ordered through Sykes at least 1 week prior to staying!”

This property could be a little gold mine but it needs a complete refurbishment...we had to clean stuff off the wall,there is decking dumped at the back of the building, the bath is cracked and badly fitting front panel which could cause an injury and the draws in the bedrooms where unusable because you couldn't open the draws. There is still no information on how to work the heating or hot water, no contact number if there is a problem and no leaflets for people to browse. Unfortunately when we stayed the electric kept tripping out! By then we had been to reception and managed to get hold of Tom who was looking after the place, he did offer us another place but we had already unpacked and with 6 lots of luggage etc to move we stayed where we where so where offered a meal free of charge. The meal was superb and Tom was very helpful supplying the gate and cot for us, Sykes hadn't informed him of our request! All in all this place has potential, at the moment it's a bit like faulty towers, needs work and updating, information on how heating and water works, a full check of cutlery, plates etc and electrics the pat test on toaster are out of date by 3 months, and the fake grass is black with mould.

“Tom looked after us well.”

Sadly the previous guests had broken a couple of bed frames so guests had to sleep on a mattress on the floor. However Tom made sure we were comfortable and bought us a meal at the local pub, which was delicious. Thank you Tom for making our stay a lovely one. The Stockers.

“Unfortunately the Internet did not work despite sending 2 e mails to Sykes and speaking to someone directly on site.”

A welcome / instruction pack would be useful.

“None of the bedroom doors fit their frames and they dont have door handles either.”

The bathroom door hadca handle but could nit close because it was also too big for the frame. There was no hot water or heating. No manuals to enable me to turn hot water on. The house was six person but there were not enough cups or glasses. There were lots of lamps but no sockets for many to be plugged in and used. It was all very bizarre. I have no idea how the owners think no door handles are acceptable. Our documents said check in was from 3pm but the cleaners thought it was 4pm and had only just arrived as we did. This is not acceptable.

We are sorry to hear about this, we would have liked to have helped you during the stay, but unfortunately we were not contacted, and neither was Sykes, so we had no opportunity to assist you or recitify any issues raised. The Wifi was available during the stay. Property Owner

Ascend the stairs to a bright and airy open-plan living space where you can host, prepare, and enjoy meals with the whole family ahead of unwinding on the sumptuous sofas in front of the TV.

If you prefer to dine alfresco, step outside onto your private balcony to relish a feast as the sun sets and indulge a late-night tipple before another day of adventures.

Wash away the day in a generously-sized ground-floor bathroom with a long soak or revitalising shower before drifting off to a nights refreshing embrace.

For a splendid retreat promising a fun-filled holiday in Cornwall, stay at Buddy’s Place.

Honicombe Holiday Lodges

Honicombe Holiday Lodges are a collection of eight homely abodes, situated in an elevated position on the edge of the Tamar Valley AONB in St Ann’s Chapel, near the bustling town of Callington in Cornwall. Boasting large, shared fields with private balconies with furniture where you can while the days away with a glass of wine, reverse-level interior, and access to on-site facilities, Honicombe Holiday Lodges provide the idyllic spot to unwind and spend quality time with loved ones and four-legged friends within the stunning Cornish countryside. With most lodges featuring a barbecue or luxurious hot tubs, perfect for melting your worries away beneath the starry skies, you'll find the ultimate setting for both relaxation and unforgettable evenings spent with loved ones. Set off on one of the many scenic hiking or cycling trails and footpaths right from your doorstep, you won’t have to venture far to fill your days here. Spend your mornings utilising the marvellous selection of on-site facilities; take a refreshing dip in the indoor heated swimming pool, work up an appetite in the fully equipped gym, or challenge your friends to some fun in the indoor games room featuring a miniature arcade. If you opt for some home cooking, stock up on the essentials at the on-site shop, while the kids blow off some steam at one of the exciting play parks. For special occasions, treat your loved ones to a delicious meal at the on-site pub, The Honicombe Arms, where you can savour some hearty pub grub in a welcoming setting. The Tamar Valley Donkey Park rests less than a stone’s throw away from the properties where you can get up close and personal with some of their furry residents including pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs and of course, donkeys. If you prefer to immerse yourself in history, spend the day touring the grounds of the National Trust owned Cotehele, a Tudor House with medieval roots and a working mill on a historic quay set within a magnificent garden with valley views. For impressive views of granite structures, visit Foggintor Quarry ahead of experiencing Dartmoor Prison Museum. Further afield in Golitha Falls National Nature Reserve traverse the vast expanse of the stunning countryside and be sure to relish the unspoiled beauty at Golitha Falls waterfall; alternatively, head north to Moor View Alpacas or uncover the naturally formed tower of the infamous Cheesewring (Stowes Hill).

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.
