  • Well-appointed family accommodation on a peaceful Cornish farm
  • Roadford Lake 15 minutes' drive; Bude half an hour
  • Spacious two-bedroom lodge a short walk from a private pond
From making your way over tors and forests to paddling and fishing off the shore of Cornish seaside havens, Country View Lodge at East Panson will kickstart your adventures in Cornwall and Devon. That’s because this rural site is in the Cornish countryside, within easy reach of the county's north and south coasts, as well as the border with Devon. You’ll be cosy here… in the grounds of a working farm, the lodge accommodation has two bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen, a bright and airy lounge, a dining area and a half-length bath with a shower in the bathroom. Alfresco meals are bound to be on the menu, as there’s also outdoor decking with seating where you can relax in the open air, a barbecue and a small garden area. Elsewhere on the farm, there’s a peaceful nature pond where you can sit, feed and watch the fish, but for those of you who are itching to explore the local area, you could make a beeline for the two well-liked local pubs, village shop and post office in the tiny village you’re staying in, called Saint Giles on the Heath – these handy spots are only five minutes' drive away. As for those cool places that are further afield, Country View Lodge is approximately a quarter of an hour's drive from Roadford Lake and half an hour from the seaside town of Bude, with historic fishing villages, crazy coastal castles and rainforest biomes all options for other days out.

2 bedroom lodge

Liked: It was easy to find using the Google maps location provided in our confirmation email. The owner was absolutely lovely and welcoming. Car could be parked under cover right by the entrance, so unloading was nice and easy.
Accommodation was clean and well kept throughout with plenty of storage, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and beautiful views!
There is plenty to do with or without children in the area, so you won't get bored. Ours also really loved the sheep in the field right next to us!
Already hoping to book again to stay for a relaxing weekend away.

Frances R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

2 bedroom lodge

Liked: The lodge was very clean and had lovely fresh decor. The very modern kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans and all utensils needed.
The wonderful new washing machine was a great bonus and meant we didn’t need to pack as many clothes.
Our car was able to park right next to the lodge undercover from the elements.
The view from the lodge is wonderful and you can watch the sheep. It’s really quiet and peaceful.

Disliked: The lodge was extremely small and had low ceilings. That isn’t clear from the photographs. As a family that are 6 foot it was small for us. I wouldn’t advise anyone to come who is taller than 6 foot.
The lodge isn’t easy to find and satnavs get confused.
Be prepared that everything you likely want to visit is about an hour drive each time due to the smaller roads and speeds.

Local attractions

So, you want watersports? Get off to a flying start at Roadford Lake (15 minutes' drive), where there are kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and sailing boats for hire, or activities like archery and climbing onshore. Seeking out trails? Forests, tors, Bronze Age circles and valleys can be tracked down around Dartmoor National Park (20 minutes), including the long-distance Two Moors Way, Dartmoor Way or Templer Way. The coast has all sorts of activities on offer, from surfing on Bude’s beach (half an hour) and rowing on the canal to a wreck fishing trip from Boscastle harbour (40 minutes), or crabbing from the Victorian bridge in the fishing village of Looe (an hour). The crazy landscape of Tintagel Castle (50 minutes) will turn your tour of the coast into something a little more historical, with Arthurian legends swirling around Merlin’s Cave. There’s also the Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre (20 minutes) for anyone who’d like to see the rides that were used in the first incarnations of the fairground. With rainforest and Mediterranean biomes, a zipwire and a giant swing, it’s easy to see why Eden Project (50 minutes) is such a big Cornwall attraction, so get on down there too.
