  • Well-equipped lodges at a peaceful park in west Cornwall
  • St Michael’s Mount 10 minutes’ drive; 20 minutes to St Ives
  • On the banks of the Hayle river, with 23 acres of land
Cornwall’s north coast is gorgeous… but then so is its south coast. And that’s why it really pays off to pick a location that’s pretty much halfway between the two, giving you equally easy access to both shorelines – and saving you the agonising process of having to decide. In the case of the lodges at River Valley Country Park, the location near the village of Relubbus also opens up the prospect of trips to the westernmost part of the county – it’s only about a half-hour drive to Land’s End from here. And although you’ll have to take a short drive to admire some of the county’s stunning seaside scenery (it’s a 10-minute drive to Marazion and about 15 minutes to Hayle), you won’t have to reach for the car keys if you’re after pretty views, since the site is right on the banks of the River Hayle. That riverside location makes this a most attractive spot for a Cornwall holiday – and a peaceful one too, with 23 acres of green countryside to relax in. It’s a properly chilled-out rural park, so no noisy entertainments or busy leisure facilities on site, but the essentials are covered with things like a launderette and a dog-walking area. Each lodge is fully self-contained, with its own bathroom and kitchen facilities, plus heating, a TV and outdoor furniture. The nearest supermarkets are in Hayle and Penzance (both about 10–15 minutes’ drive away).

Maple 2 bedroom lodge

Liked A well-maintained, warm, comfortably furnished and clean cabin, with everything you could need for a self-catering stay for a family of four. The site was quiet and accommodating of a peaceful new year’s trip, within easy reach of a wide range of beach & cliff top walks.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Maple 2 bedroom lodge (pet friendly)

Liked Everything! The Lodge was very good size, very clean, the heating worked great and we could adjust it as required. Clean running/drinking water, peaceful location with squirrels running around. There was wifi, TV, a fully equipped kitchen etc. Not a sign of pets having stayed there - no smell etc.

Local attractions

St Michael’s Mount (10 minutes’ drive) is connected to the mainland via a causeway that gets submerged at high tide. The islet has a pretty harbour area; the rocky Garden Terraces, where the local microclimate allows plants like agave and aloes to thrive; and the castle, with a diverse collection of objects including a mummified Egyptian cat. St Ives (20 minutes) has a wealth of important art institutions. Check out the modern and contemporary works at Tate St Ives, in a spectacular location overlooking sandy Porthmeor Beach, or visit the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden for a primer on the life and work of this 20th-century British sculptor. Try to score tickets for a performance at the Minack Theatre (35 minutes), up on a vertiginous rocky cliff high above the waves. If you don’t get to see a live show, the theatre is still well worth a visit, for both its dramatic location and for the well-tended surrounding gardens, full of colourful, exotic plants.
