  • 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 pretty much halfway between the two, giving you equally easy access to both fabulous shorelines. And 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 too – it's only about a half-hour drive to Land's End from here. And although some of the county's most stunning seaside scenery is within easy reach, you won't have to go far to find pretty views, as the site is right on the banks of the Hayle river. 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 wifi service, 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).
