Costentyn, Tor Down Quarry | Stunning UK Hot Tub Break

About Costentyn, Tor Down Quarry

For a family seeking fun and adventure on holiday, a stay at this contemporary and spacious dog-friendly lodge offers it all. Set within a large quarry, the two private spectacular lakes boast a variety of outdoor pursuits including diving and wild swimming.

Walkers and cyclists are also well catered for as within a mile is the start of the famous Camel Trail taking you through the moors and countryside along a disused railway line all the way to Padstow. After the thrill and excitement of a day on the moors or enjoying the exhilarating lakes, relax in the private hot tub directly outside the lodge before returning to the lodge, or gather your loved ones for a barbecue.

The lodge is both spacious and comfortable with an open-plan living room, well-equipped kitchen and cosy dining and sitting areas. When it comes to dining out, within two miles you have two of the finest moorland pubs in Cornwall.

Close by in the village is the award-winning Old Inn, dating back to the 11th century with homely dog-friendly bars and huge roaring log fires in the winter. A little further is the Blisland Inn famous for providing the finest range of real ale in the County and is a former national CAMRA pub of the year.

With so much to do and see in the immediate area, you could well spend your entire holiday here but you are in a good central location for touring Cornwall if you decide to venture further afield. A perfect base for an action-packed holiday whatever time of year.

This property can be booked with Tressa and Mellyone Beder Del (Melly) together they sleep 23.

Costentyn, Tor Down Quarry Reviews

Hosts were very welcoming and friendly. The hot tub was a lovely touch. The cream tea on arrival was outstanding and a lovely welcoming treat. We would highly recommend and would definitely return.

We had an incredible stay at Kristie and Johns cabin in Cornwall Saint Breward. The location is perfect, with plenty of nearby activities, and the hot tub added a luxurious touch to our experience. Kristie and John were exceptionally helpful and kind hosts, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. We genuinely loved every moment and can't wait to go back again. Highly recommended!

Costentyn Lodge was beautiful, and we really enjoyed our stay. The lodge had everything we needed for our time there. Very clean, we enjoyed the special little touches when we arrived, a homemade cornish cream tea. The scones and jam was lovely. Treats for our dog too. Enclosed decking area, so great if you have a dog. The quarry was beautiful to walk around, the top quarry seating area was great, so peaceful, beautiful views all around. Bottom quarry had a great seating area too. Great for swimming if you want too. Kirsty and John are lovely, they made sure we knew they were they if we needed anything, very friendly. I have already recommended Tor down quarry to a number of my friends. Keep doing what your doing Kirsty and John, it great.

Leanne

Had a lovely weeks stay at the quarry. Kirsty and her family were very kind and helpful but also respectful of your privacy. The views from the lodge are beautiful and having the bbq and bench to enjoy the outside space was fab. We swam in both the lakes such a great addition to have that we could use. They have done a great job with the place. It was a great base for exploring the north part of Cornwal and we would definitely return.

Really nice property and location, perfectly placed for seaside days out and great to have the fishing and swimming lakes on hand as well as the hot tub. We enjoyed the Camel Trail with the start located just 1 mile away down the hill. Lots of lovely areas to explore like Tintagel, Port Isaac and Padstow within reasonable reach by car. We had to cut our break short but will definitely be looking to rebook when we can.

Matthew

Amazing relaxing place to holiday ,couldnt believe how warm the water was in the lovely lakes , very friendly and welcoming owners , will be visiting again for sure .

We loved staying at costentyn , the perfect getaway for us, set in our now favourite place in Cornwall and made even better by your family being so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back . Many thanks Rob hollie Ava violet and Marlene x

Amanda

Really lovely cabin with amazing views and really well equipped and very clean. Beautiful surroundings and wild swimming is a must in the quarry pools! Bit disappointed that the hot tub wasn't hot on the first night, understand cleaning is essential and if we'd have known it wouldn't be available until the following day it would have helped. Would also be good to advise guests that you only get one towel each so that you can bring your own for the hot tub if you want. The signal for the tv is pretty glitchy but it's worth the sacrifice for the stunning location. The cream tea and milk was a lovely touch and overall we were really pleased with the cabin and would love to return in the future.

Brooke

We loved the area and the whole stay was fab. Kitchen was well stocked and the hot tub was clean and ready for us. It was everything we needed for a home away from home...with a hot tub!

Melissa

This was a fantastic little break with the family over new year, the lodge was beautiful, and clean, and had all amenities you could possibly need. Kirsty is a lovely host, she left chocolates, fresh scones with clotted cream and jam, which I thought was a lovely gesture! We all had a lovely time, and spent a lot of Time in the amazing hot tub, very relaxing in a beautiful setting! Highly recommend, we will be happy to come back! Thankyou kirsty x

This has been one of the best holidays we have been on! We are still here and only a few days in but l can not fault Tor Down Quarry! The lodge is fantastic, it has met all of our expectations! The surroundings are absolutely stunning! We have the choice of two quarries to swim in! Both are picturesque with seating areas if you only want to enjoy the view! Gorgeous sunsets...friendly owners...its just perfect! Not forgetting the Sunday lunch we enjoyed at the Old Inn...perfect!

Catherine

Great location for exploring Cornwall. The hot tub at this property really added an element of luxury. Its perfectly positioned for watching the beautiful sunsets ! Also enjoyed swimming in the private lakes.

Excellent Lodage, Great location, Could not be better.

The place was clean, spacious and comfy, the enclosed decking was perfect for the dog and the hot tub was huge! We loved it, would go again

Joanne

A really lovely lodge in such a peaceful location. Everything was perfect and the little extras like dog treats, local milk and homemade jam were much appreciated. We will definitely be back.

Lovely place to stay. Very Welcome and attentive hosts. Homely touches in the property e.g. cream tea with fresh baked scones on arrival, a radio and a bluetooth speaker. Beautiful views and nature walk. Enjoyed the camel trail cycling which is just on the 'door step'. It will feel better for the environment, to having a separate food waste bin or even a composite on site for food waste. Which can later be used to nourish the Beautiful trees and plants around the site.

Charlotte

This was a fantastic place to holiday! Would 100 recommend! Lots of walks and other things to do around too!

We really enjoyed our stay at Tor Down Quarry we stayed for 7 Nights and were blessed with some fantastic weather. This was a great base for exploring both North and South Cornwall and the local amenities of St Breward are just a short walk away. The Lodge benefited from a newly installed Private Hot Tub & Decking which was excellent and proved a great addition for early mornings and evenings. The lodge was spacious and well decorated WiFi was a little slow but can't be helped in the remote location The Hot Tub made up for it. Kirsty provided a warm and friendly welcome and was on hand to answer any questions, the Scones, Jam & Cream were a lovely added touch, thankyou for a great week!.

We had a lovely stay . Kirsty gave us a warm welcome and was close by if we needed anything. Hot tub was great we spent many days in it after our adventures. We will be back again for sure. Thank you Kirsty and of course for the lovely scones. Five stars.

Simone

We had a fantastic break despite the weather. The hot tub was fab and i was very impressed with the WiFi signal too. Lovely touch having cream tea provided. Only thing that we might have found helpful would have been a site layout as we never did find the lakes! Thank you The Millers

Claire

Had a great week here would recommend to anyone even when the storm hit on ... Had a great week here would recommend to anyone even when the storm hit on Friday they where out checking to make sure everything was OK cant wait to book again in the near future x

This was our second visit to Constantyn at Tor Down Quarry, and we will be returning! Kirsty and John are really lovely, and nothing is too much trouble for them. On this visit we didn't need them, but on our previous visit we had car issues and they helped us with that. The cabin is beautiful, the beds are comfy, and there is everything you need. We love wandering the quarry land, though we haven't been brave yet and swam in the quarry. The hot tub is great. Its just a lovely place to holiday. Beautiful scenery, loads of great walks, close to some lovely places, we visited all the favourites Padstow, Rock, Port Isaac, Trebarwith Strand etc. And totally recommend the local pub always busy with locals, a great atmosphere and great food. We will definitely be back!

Our accommodation was very clean and comfortable and was more than we expected. We had lovely views of the sunsets. Our hosts went above and beyond, with their friendliness and helpfulness. I cannot recommend this accommodation enough.

The cabin was great with a beautiful backdrop and lovey views. This location is very remote so be prepared to drive everywhere! The other cabins had more outdoor furniture than ours which was a shame as I would have liked to use the outdoor area. More towels would have been nice as we were using the lake and hottub. Having the home appliances was handy and made being away easier. Communications with the owners was good and we very helpful.

Such a beautiful location. The cabin was so cozy and clean. We all felt at home there.

Patricia

Loved the solitude of the location and the standard of the lodge was excellent. Although it was rural it was very easy to visit all the different towns and villages. Would definitely visit again.

In a perfect location, about 30 minutes from north or south coasts, accommodation lovely and clean plenty of space between lodges each with own BBQ area and stunning views.

Comfortable, warm accommodation in unseasonable May weather. Views are great and the many local footpaths of St. Breward are a delight to discover. Short drives to some fantastic beacheslocations. Easy to walk down to the start of the Camel Trail at Wenford Bridge and the Snails Pace Cafe. Cabin was stocked with ttowels, dishcloth, condiments, dishwasher tabs and such. There was some delicious welcome scones and local jam to partake of. I think I found the local provider of said jam and bought some more to take home. Plenty of roadside eggs to buy in village with honesty boxes. Hosts were helpful and friendly. I will happily return to stay at the quarry again.

We had a great time staying at Tor down Quarry. The cabin was very clean and decorated to a high standard, we had everything we needed to relax and enjoy ourselves. The views across the local countryside were beautiful and the lakes were a spectacular place to have fun with the family. we stayed for three nights and didn't feel the need to leave the site as it was such an enjoyable place to be. We arrived late on our first night as traffic was bad but Kirsty made sure that once we had got to the site picking up the key and getting into our cabin was super easy. Once in we were greeted by a delicious plate of local scones along with plenty of tasty jam and cream to go with them which we all enjoyed tucking in to! We highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a great place to relax and unwind.

Richard

Excellent week Kirsty couldnt be more helpful everything you could need,lovely peaceful place and so close to everything. i even caught a fish on my last day we will be back and sample the new lodges. THANKS.

We really enjoyed the location and the facilities. Lovely friendly welcome from Kirsty and John and felt we could ask if we needed anything. Fantastic touches with dog bowl, poo bags and treats as well as Milk, yummy scones, jam and cream! A unique location which added to our experience. It wouldnt suit all, but we loved it. It is one of the few places we have been which we would love to go back to. Loved visiting lots of beaches and exploring. We found The cabin very dog friendly and were pleased that the dogs were able to stretch their legs just outside the cabin not always on leads, which always makes life a little easier! Kirsty and John are developing the site which it would have been nice to know before hand, but the quality of the cabins and thicknesss of the windows meant very little noise and also the worker on site we found was very considerate. Its such a lovely location we are not surprising they are adding another cabin! We took dressing gowns to walk to and from the hot tub, which I would highly recommend on chilly days evenings! Also a torch is required when wandering to the hot tub at night.

Michelle

The accommodation was bigger than expected and spotlessly clean. It felt very homely and every single detail was met and catered for plus additional gestures like dog treats etc. The hosts were extremely accommodating, welcoming and happy to share local knowledge and recommendations. Highly recommend and we will be booking again for next summer.

The cabin was great in a lovely quiet location but with easy access to beaches, coastal walks and the moors. It was well equipped with everything we needed including good Wifi and Netflix! We loved the quarry lakes which we swam in every day and Kirsty was very welcoming and helpful.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. It was so clean, comfortable and super welcoming. Milk and scones on arrival

Georgiana

We had the most amazing 7 days holiday at Tor Down Quarry. Our cottage was extremely clean and well looked after. The facility of enjoying fishing or relaxing while looking at the two private lakes makes your stay ever more enjoyable. You also have a huge space where to play with your kids and even to enjoy more activities. The amazing traditional scones will be waiting for you when you visit the property. You must try them. They are beyond expectations and homemade by the owner. The owners were very friendly was well and they was very good checking on us every time they had the chance. Will definitely return back.

Philip

What a great place, important for me when staying anywhere is a comfortable bed and a decent shower. We had these but also a beautiful location with brilliant red sunsets, birdsong instead of traffic noise and a well equipped comfortable place to spend the week. Overcome your doubts and swim in the quarry, a beautiful, tranquil place with water that invigorates your mind and body. Add great hosts, walks across the moors, and good road access to all the major attractions and beaches, and I will happily stay here again and again .

Denise

This is by far the most well equipped cottage we have ever stayed in But the major bonus was the owner and her family. Not only did we meet them but they couldn't have been any more friendly and welcoming. We were even invited to their BBQ A beautiful setting with great sunset views and the dog loved it The Cornish cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch Thank you Kirsty, John and those wonderful kids We'll be back

Great location out of village but could walk to pub and close to Padstow. Cottage tastefully decorated and we appreciated all the extras bored games, dog bowl, dog treats, kitchen scales, hand wash etc etc. May well book it again

Fantastic holiday with the location and suitability for all ages. Our family were made very welcome by Kirsty and John and the little personal touches they added made the holiday very special. Kids loved the scones!
