Mariners' Lodge, St Minver - an idyllic retreat, sleeps 6, parking + dogs

Mariners’ Lodge is a spacious and modern three-bedroomed lodge with wrap-around private decking set in the grounds of an old manor house at St Minver Holiday Park, near Rock.
The lodge is situated in a quiet, corner plot which shows off the idyllic and picturesque area of the woodland park. It’s luxurious accommodation can sleep up to six guests in three bedrooms – master bedroom with queen sized bed, ensuite bathroom and wall-mounted TV, plus two twin bedrooms with an additional family bathroom. It has double glazing, central heating and a flame effect electric fire in the cosy open-plan lounge. There is a spacious family dining area equipped with all the appliances needed for easy meal times. The kitchen also includes a dishwasher and washer/dryer. To accommodate alfresco dining in the summer months, there is a good sized veranda adjoining the lodge with dining table and chairs and barbeque. There is private parking for two vehicles just outside the front of the lodge.

The park itself is in a rural setting and there are facilities such as a site-office, shop, launderette, swimming pool and sauna all within a few minutes walk (plus bar, restaurant and entertainment should you wish - including for younger children too. The lodge is also within easy cycling and walking distance of Rock, Padstow (via the short passenger ferry ride from Rock), Daymer and Polzeath beaches. Polzeath is a perfect beach if you are feeling adventurous and want to try your hand at surfing with surfing schools on the beach, which is patrolled by RNLI so it is safe for younger children along with rock pools where they can happily play. Daymer is a stunningly beautiful beach for walking and picnics - and the famous St Enodoc golf course adjoins it. Padstow is a great area for boat trips or fishing trips, shopping and of course to visit the famous Rick Stein eateries and join the Camel Valley cycle trail.

Not only are there gorgeous beaches but also some fantastic coastal/scenic walks and bicycle rides (including the mentioned Camel Trail which passes the Camel Valley vineyard - which is well worth a visit), together with some wonderful golf courses (The Point at Polzeath & St Enodoc, Rock) and relaxing spas like The Moritz Hotel Cowshed Spa.

In recent years, the Padstow and Rock area have become a food lover’s paradise welcoming guests to its many fabulous restaurants which are also closeby to Mariners’ Lodge. These include the Mariners pub (run by the renowned Paul Ainsworth) in Rock and also Rick Stein's restaurants in Padstow. Nathan Outlaw’s restaurant can be found in Port Isaac, the area of which has become a visitors attraction since the filming of Doc Martin. If you wish for something more basic the local pub in St Minver is within walking distance too.

We are sure you will enjoy your holiday at Mariners’ Lodge in this magical part of Cornwall creating wonderful memories and return to us again.
