Southern Halt
Resort overview
Rediscover real time out from it all at Southern Halt Lodges in a beautiful corner of Cornwall, a brand new collection of luxury lodges in the heart of the countryside. Perched quietly on a field-flanked hilltop, these cedar-clad homes from home enjoy beautiful views across sleepy farmland and over to Bodmin Moor – the landscape made famous by BBC 1’s Poldark.
Just three miles from the historic market town of Liskeard, Southern Halt makes a peaceful retreat from the rest of the world, and every lodge has a bubbling hot tub that makes a stay that little bit more indulgent. Perfect for couples, families and friends, Southern Halt Lodges showcase the surrounding views to perfection, and each one has stylish features throughout. Including that hot tub just for you
How’s this for real relaxation, you’ll be able to step through the double doors in the living space and out onto the decking to sink into your own welcoming hot tub. Whether you unwind in the bubbles after a long day exploring the surrounding area or just start your day by succumbing to sheer bliss, you’ll be able to sink back and admire the country views while you enjoy true time out.
Cornwall sunsets are spectacular however you sit back and watch them unfold, but they look all the better from the warm waters of your very own hot tub. Better yet, as your tub will be submerged within your private decked terrace you’ll only be a step away from indulgence when you’re enjoying time in the outside living space.
Liskeard is an ancient stannary and market town in south east Cornwall. Located approximately twenty miles west of Plymouth and twelve miles east of Bodmin, the town is at the head of the Looe valley in the ancient hundred of West Wivelshire.
Located on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor, Liskeard was granted its first charter back in 1240 and became an important market town which flourished with the onset of the copper mining boom in the nineteenth century. Today that prosperity can still be seen in the fine buildings dotted around the town. Webb’s House, a huge early Victorian former hotel dominates the town centre; shops have original Edwardian facades; medieval Stuart House once provided lodgings for Charles II; and the Guildhall is a fine example of Victorian grandeur with its imposing clock tower. Liskeard is a great place to stock up for a picnic or have a stroll around the old town stopping for a coffee at one of the many cafes.
Just four miles outside the town is home to Adrenalin Quarry - home to one of the UK’s biggest zip wires at over half a kilometre and one of the highest giant swings. Six miles away on the edge of Bodmin Moor is the ancient stone circle known as The Hurlers and the granite tor known as the Cheesewring.
Southern Halt may be a dream come true for those of you keen to just retreat from it all for a few days, but it’s still within easy reach of some of Cornwall’s most popular spots and sights. If you fancy dining out in style, The Old Mill bar and bistro at the nearby Stonerush Lakes lodge resort always offers a warm welcome, and its menu showcases Cornwall’s local produce in style.
You’ll also find the traditional harbour towns of Looe, Polperro and Fowey a short journey away by car, so if you want to experience Cornwall in all its bobbing boat, whitewashed cottage glory then you’ll find some if its most recognisable resorts easy to discover.
