Mellydonen Beder Del (Melly) Reviews

We had a lovely break in this amazing tranquil place. The views were stunning especially viewed from the hot tub. The cream tea was enjoyed by all and the dogs loved their treats. The village was a short walk away the local shop stocked everything for our stay. We walked a lot of the Camel trail while we were there nice flat walk suitable for all ages. The internet was a bit hit and miss at times. We are back again in June and looking forward to our revisit.
Vivienne
6 adults & 3 dogs all had a fantastic week long very peaceful stay in Melly. The welcoming cornish tea on arrival was gratefully consumed by the 2 legged guests. Kirsty was a gem of a host, always available when needed & genuinely helped make our stay enjoyable and memorable. The hot tub got plenty of use especially in the evenings when the night sky was at its best.
Elaine
Firstly a great big thank you to Kirsty. She was around for any queries and left us some mouthwatering scones. The lodge was wonderful, very bright and spacious. Imaculately clean and beautifully positioned. The hot tub we saved till the evening under the stars with a glass of wine. Overall a wonderful experience.
Jeremy
We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again as so many things to do in the area, especially if you like walking around Bodmin Moor or cycling along the Camel Trail. The hot tub was fantastic and we used this most nights. Wadebridge is not to far if you need to stock up on food. There is a pretty well stocked community shop in St Breward.
Prudence
Lovely property, very comfortable and clean. Wonderful views whilst sitting in the hot tub, or having our meals on the decking. The new garden furniture is lovely, well made and comfortable. The location is good for travelling from to view attractions and make day trips. The two lakes are beautiful, and peaceful. I'm certain they're good to have a swim in but I'm not a strong swimmer so wasn't brave enough to have a dip, but it was tempting. We'll visit again.
Lovely holiday home, clean and spacious with delicious complimentary home baked scones, jam and cream on arrival. Jacuzzi was nice and clean. The outside rattan furniture is a bit tired but Kirsty did advise that it had recently been thrown around in a storm. Kirsty came to visit to make sure everything was ok. Sykes directions were followed and we arrived without getting lost. We didnt manage to walk to town as its quite a hilly trek, although we did eat in the local pub quite a few times! Food is great. Lots to do within a 20 to 30 minute drive, although the narrow country lanes can be a bit challenging at times. We also met the local hounds being exercised early morning. We would highly recommend Tor Down Quarry. We had a thoroughly relaxing break.

Heather
Beautiful quiet spot. Attractive comfortable cabin with everything we needed for a week. Fishing and swimming on site much enjoyed. Bodmin Moor was a real treat with great walks wildlife and scenery. Kirsty, the owner was helpful and friendly. Welcoming Cornish cream tea was delicious.
Fantastic property. Very spacious and clean. The wifi is not very stable which was important for us but may be OK for some. Beautiful views in a lovely location. Roads are very steep and narrow. The owner Kirsty is lovely! The hot tub was amazing! Such a relaxing week.
Absolutely loved this lodge and surroundings. So peaceful and quiet with amazing views. The Lodge itself is very warm and has everything you need. Will be looking at rebooking for next year. One word of warning the lanes to get to it are very narrow as you would expect in Cornwall.
Leslie
Really enjoyed our stay. Views were fabulous and the hot tub was a lovely relaxing welcome home after the long walks.
Shannon
Beautiful property with the most stunning views. The lakes are absolutely gorgeous! Great facitlities and comfort. The hot tub was a bonus and the children loved it too. We met Kirsty who was lovely and welcoming and overall we couldnt have wished for anything more! We will definitely be booking again
We absolutely love staying at Tor Down Quarry. This is our third stay. Previously we have stayed in Costentyn lodge but this year we stayed in Mellydonen. All the lodges are beautiful, really well kitted out, everything has been thought out so well. We loved the position of Melly, with the most incredible views over Bodmin moor from the hot tub. The owners Kirsty and John are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. On a previous stay we got a flat tyre on the last evening. Kirsty helped us with food for the kids as we were supposed to be going out, and John helped us get to the garage the next day. Really went out of their way to help. Its perfectly located to visit the north coast of Cornwall, but also the surrounding areas which is more inland , and the village of St Breward is lovely too for gorgeous walks, and has a brilliant pub. Totally recommend the Sunday roast! We dont return every year as we always think we should try somewhere new, but then we have to come back as nowhere in Cornwall compares for us. We will definitely be back.
Had a lovely stay here. . beautiful lodge, comfortable, well equipped & fabulous hot tub which was enjoyed very much. Delicious scones & cream tea for 5 left by Kirsty a lovely touch Thank you
Michael
Everything with the property was just perfect. The layout of the property was exactly what we hoped for and a lot more. Amazing views from the hot tub. Cant wait to return.
We absolutely loved our stay at Tor Down Quarry. Kirsty and Paul were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The property itself was fantastic. The facilities were great and beautiful choices of furniture. Set in the beautiful surroundings of Bodmin Moor, near a lovely village and well placed to travel to places of interest around Cornwall, Torr Down Quarry holds its own beauty with 2 quarry lakes to swim in. Lots of space to enjoy outside the cabin and sitting in the hot tube looking at the stars was a highlight. Inside the property doesn't feel like a cabin, but a very well presented cosy bungalow. We will definitely be back
Amelia
This was the best find a true hidden gem. As a large family we wanted to escape the rat race and have some quality time together. This was really perfect! Melly was more than we expected very clean, lovely welcome pack and treats on arrival, so much outside space, very private with nothing overlooking you from the decking space and hottub which was amazing to enjoy the stunning views and gorgeous sunsets. The lodge itself its ready to live in it has everything you could need and more. We loved that each room had its own bathroom. But our favourite was the open plan kitchen, dining, living area such a great space and perfect for family time even when cooking etc Kirsty and John gave us a lovely welcome when we bumped into them in our first evening stroll Kirsty walked us round the quarry, showed us where the lakes were and recommended local spots to visit too. Such lovely people who didnt encroach on privacy but were around and available if needed. We were in the lake every day and the quarry is a real serene place to enjoy the outside even in the rain we were enjoying in the lake This place really is a gem perfect surroundings, real high quality lodges, great location if you do want to have days out, lovely owners and views for miles especially from Melly Ive fallen in love with it here and already planning our return visit for next year if not before! Really found a little bit of heaven in Tor Down Quarry
Joanna
We had a fantastic time at Melly, a really lovely property very clean in a wonderful quiet location. 5 adults and 2dogs thoroughly enjoyed our week away. Kirsty was a great host gave us great advice on where to dine all appreciated and the scones, jam and cream were a real surprise. Many thanks hope to return soon. Jo and family
Sheryl
Had a lovely week. The lodge was spacious and comfortable with plenty of kitchen equipment, there were homemade scones, clotted cream, jam and milk on arrival. Comfortable beds. Lovely helpful hosts.
Kristy
We have visited Cornwall every year for many summers. This is the first time we have booked here and it is honestly the best place we have ever stayed! The lodge and surroundings exceeded all expectations. Everything about it is just beautiful. The lodge is immaculate, beautifully decorated, clean and well equipped for all your needs. The lakes are stunning and fantastic to fish or paddleboard! Kirsty is a fantastic host, popped in on arrival to check everything was to our liking and if we needed anything. Kirsty and her family are so welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be booking again for our future visits to beautiful Cornwall.
Idyllic , peaceful location with amazing sunset, views and lakes. Cabin exceeded our expectations with its high level of cleanliness , homeliness , every thing very well thought out for the utmost pleasure and ease of use, our grandson so loved the hot tub .. Kirsty was an extremely friendly , yet unobtrusive host . Would highly recommend staying here .
Melly was an incredible place. Very beautifully set out with lovely furniture, comfortable beds and everything you needed for the perfect stay. Very private in its tucked away corner with a lovely hot tub too and stunning views made even more wonderful by seeing the Aurora Borealis. We will be back!
Fabulous lodge , wonderful views , throughly enjoyed our stay

A Home Away From Home Our recent stay at Tor Down Quarry was an absolute delight and significantly contributed to the overall success of our holiday. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Melly , the hosts, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and wellbeing throughout our stay.

The location proved to be ideal, offering easy access to beaches and we do have own hot bath outdoor in a complete view of country side Enhancing the Holiday Experience The true highlight of our stay was the warm hospitality extended by Melly.

All good, welcome pack included dog treats, hot tub was great, the lodge was very comfortable and warm, would definitely book again.
Excellent accommodation and great value for money!
We had a lovely stay at Tor Down Quarry and were made to feel very welcome by the owners. The views are stunning and it is a very peaceful location with an excellent pub within walking distance. The accommodation was really well equipped and had everything that we needed for our stay. The location is great as you get to relax in the countryside but are just a short drive to a number of attractions such Bodmin Jail, The Eden Project and the beaches of Padstow.
Stephen
A really relaxed break. Will return
The property was absolutely perfect beutiful grounds all well kept the two lakes upper and lower both amazing the granite rock mirrored in the still waters of the lakes breathtaking. the complex its self is quite central for visiting both north and south coastlines which we did making sure we got back in time to enjoy a soak in the hot tub.
We had a lovely stay here, the photos dont do the place justice. The view is absolutely stunning. Everything in the cabin is well maintained and high quality.
This is our second visit to Tor Down Quarry and we had a fantastic time! The lodge was lovely and spacious. It was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and then some! The view was stunning, with a gorgeous sunset on the doorstep! Nothing is too much trouble for Kirsty! We had a small glitch on our arrival and she quickly sorted it out! We can't wait till our next visit! 5 star all the way!
The property was really lovely, beautiful surroundings. The property was for 6 people, but had much more crockery , glasses etc to accommodate 6, and lots of cooking utensils as well. The owner came up to see us just after we arrived, she was very friendly and made sure we knew how to contact her if there were any problems there werent and and also told us what was in the area. Lovely peaceful place and the hot tub was a definite winner with us all. We would definitely recommend this property. Also a cream tea waiting for us was a lovely touch.
Justine
Mellydonen was a little slice of heaven. Three generations of women had a perfect stay. The lodge was absolutely beautiful inside with plenty of space, spotlessly clean. With a huge Veranda, the outdoor space and privacy with 180 view was stunning. Not overlooked at all. we felt like we were in a different world. I cannot recommend this lodge highly enough. We had such a fantastic peaceful holiday. The Veranda is a real sun trap all day. The added bonus of a daily swim in the lake for both my dogs was fantastic. Both the lakes are beautiful. The quarry is packed with bird life. Lots of bunnies bouncing around in the evening. Kirsty the host was on site if needed, but you had total privacy. Oh and lets not forget the hot tub, my 83yearold mother fell in love with it, and we watched the sunset from here almost every night. I cannot wait to return next year.
Another amazing stay at Mellydonen, our third time now and we already want to come back again! We love this place, so peaceful and in a gorgeous setting. Kirsty and family are so friendly and always around if you need anything. Until the next time!
Angela
We had a lovely weeks holiday, although the weather wasn't good! . Our holiday home was so much better than we thought it was lovely, very warm, spacious, & the view was amazing. Kirsty was lovely, very helpful & our 2 Grandsons didn't want to go home. Will we be coming back???. Most definately.
We've just had a amazing week staying in 'melly' which was fantastically equipped and spotlessly clean. Kirsty and her family were the perfect hosts. The nearby town of St Breward is also lovely with the all important shop and pub within walking distance. Can't fault a thing about it. So I think we'll be back before long!
Natalie
Had a fantastic stay at Melly. Location is perfect. The lodge itself had everything we needed and was spacious and conformable. Owners were super helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. Would love a return visit. Have recommended to family and friends.
We had a wonderful week staying in Melly at Tor Down Quarry, St. Breward.
