Three bedroomed, modern bungalow. Well-equipped for all your holiday needs. Sleeps up to 4 people in one double and two single rooms. Situated in a small wooded valley at the foot of Bodmin Moor, this is an ideal place to 'relax and get away from it all'. You are surrounded by typical Cornish countryside. Within easy reach of many attractions though. Pub and restaurant nearby and many eating places in the area.
*** Must stress though, this is a quiet and peaceful place, not an 18-30 style holiday camp! ***

'Mallards' has three bedrooms, one double and two singles, a spacious lounge/diner, a very well-equipped kitchen and a bathroom, with shower. Immediately outside the back door is an allocated space for one car. At the front of the bungalow is a patio with garden furniture, ideal for those ’al-fresco’ meals and drinks.
Entry through the side door, immediately next to the allocated parking space, brings you into the kitchen/diner area, pictured below. The kitchen is well -equipped with a four-ring cooker, oven and grill, a microwave oven, toaster and a refrigerator with a small freezer compartment. The dining table comfortably seats four people. A wide range of cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery makes self-catering easy for you. A cupboard next to the kitchen houses the hot water tank and some useful shelving space.
The comfortable lounge area benefits from the 'french windows', having a southerly aspect and letting in lots of light. Summer visitors will no doubt, be tempted to open up these windows, allowing access to the patio area, ideal for soaking up the sun and enjoying a relaxing drink, or even a barbeque. The lounge has seating for four people, a coffee table, a television with 'freeview' box and video player as well as a small radio/tape player.
An efficient night-storage heater in the short corridor between the kitchen and the bedrooms, is well situated to spread warmth around the bungalow on chilly mornings.
The main bedroom has a double bed, a dressing table and a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom has a single bed, a wash-basin, bedside cabinet, a chest of drawers and a built-in wardrobe. The third bedroom has a single bed, a chest of drawers and a free standing wardrobe.
The bathroom includes the toilet, a wash-basin and a bath with an electric shower over. There is also a shaver point and a heated towel rail.

Local activities in and around Liskeard, South West
Although Mallards and our other bungalows are all wonderful places to ‘get away from it all’ and to spend time in a peaceful and relaxing environment, they are also well situated as a ‘centre’ from which to visit some of the many attractions in South-East Cornwall and South-West Devon.
The fishing villages of Looe, Polperro and Mevagissey are a short drive away. Golitha Falls are just a five minute drive from Mallards. Sibleyback and Colliford Lakes, both within 20 miutes, offer fishing and watersports as well as nature walks.
Ramblers have the expanse of Bodmin Moor, and even Dartmoor, given a short car trip.
Garden lovers and National Trust members are spoilt for choice in Cornwall. The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Lanhydroc, Boconnoc, Cothele and many more.
Children can be entertained at Dobwalls Theme Park (5 minutes away), Trethorne Leisure Farm (30 minutes away), or any of the beaches on the North or South coasts.
Plymouth is just a 40 minute drive away, with the National Marine Aquarium, the Barbican and the Hoe, the Plymouth Dome and the Theatre Royal. The Tamar Valley offers many quiet retreats, as well as places such as Cotehele House and the Quay at Calstock.
For golfers, St. Mellion is just a 20 minute drive away and plenty of other courses are within easy reach. Follow the link to 'Local golf' for further information.
Of course, the Eden Project will top the list for many visitors and 'Mallards' is well situated, just 25-30 minutes away by road.
