A market town in Cornwall called Callington has a long history of mining. Kit Hill, the highest point there is, was given to the people of Cornwall by Prince Charles to commemorate the birth of Prince William. Fantastic vistas throughout southeast Cornwall and as far as Plymouth Sound may be seen from Kit Hill's summit. Ginsters Cornish pasties are made in Callington, which is located in the Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Callington also has an excellent assortment of shops, inns, and cafes. A few miles away, in the Tamar Valley, the charming village of Calstock clings to the rocky riverbanks and is dominated by the magnificent Calstock Railway Viaduct, a massive 11-arched stone building that supports one of Britain's most scenic branch lines.

.) all amenities you would require and more, kids loved the place loads of board games for the evening and extensive dvd collection (didn't get round to watching any tho) kitchen had all mod cons,always had parking, site very quiet (perhaps due to not being a school hoilday) the site shop has all you require at a fair price if you need a few forgotten bits,all in all a pleasant stay,would we stay again the kids said yes we said maybe not because we prefer to be closer to the sea but this year decided to try a hoilday park(but that doesn't take away from the hosts hospitality) out of ten we give it a 8

Overlooks a lawn and small children's play area, with no dogs allowed. A good location for walks in the unspoilt Tamar Valley AONB as well as Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. We used the map supplied by the owners to walk from the house to Cotehele and Calstock via Danescombe Valley (very nice but hilly!). Liked the open plan upstairs area and balcony and made good use of the huge range of DVDs in the evenings. Comfy beds. Only areas for improvement - provide an information folder with instructions for TV etc. plus details of local pharmacies, hospitals, farm shops and café/pub recommendations etc. Also a bathroom extractor fan and longer shower curtain would help. Note that one of the beds in the 'twin room' is a folding bed only suitable for children. The off-road parking isn't allocated so it's first come first served but we had no problem getting a slot next to the house even in peak season. For teenagers there's a games room on site with table tennis, pool table and table football. Bring pound and 50 pence coins since the bar won't provide change!

It was very spacious and well equipped and had some lovely personal touches. It was well situated for going places either in Cornwall or Devon. I would definitely go back!
