This lodge is situated approx 3.5 miles away from HMS RALEIGH and is therefore perfectly located for attending 'Passing Out' Parades. HMS RALEIGH is in Cornwall not Plymouth. Therefore, any advertised accommodation that is in Plymouth and appears closer in mileage to HMS RALEIGH would mean you need to take into account the Torpoint Ferry queues and crossing time from Plymouth into Cornwall.
There is also a direct bus service form Whitsand Bay Holiday Park into Plymouth, which stops directly outside HMS RALEIGH. The added benefit of staying at Lodge 47 is that it also sleeps 6 people and the cost of your accommodation could be split between various members of your party and you also have your own privacy, fantastic accommodation, amenities, location and a 'get away from it all' break too! Especially if your son/daughter is going straight onto their next training establishment 2 days after their Passing Out Parade, you will at least have the opportunity of spending time together.
It has to be better than staying in a B&B or hotel room. The price is pretty much the same to stay at Lodge 47 with the bonus of the cost being equally shared out amongst yourselves. In addition, you will be entitled to a 10% discount off the published weekend tariff because you are HM Forces family members. Email us with your enquiries, dates and what we can leave in the lodge to make your short stay easier for you. There are various packages available including celebration balloons etc.
Lodge amenities described apply to Lodge 47 only.
10% Discount is offered to all serving and ex members of the Military/MOD/NHS & their families.
Cornwall's pasty and cream tea reputation is still thriving and now due to the enthusiasm of some celebrity chefs, Cornwall is now well and truly on the international foodie-map. The food scene has ballooned here since Rick Stein first broadcast rumour of the finer fresh and local ingredients produced here and Jamie Oliver opened another of his famous restaurants named 'Fifteen' at Watergate Bay, here in Cornwall in the summer of 2006.
Sourcing food locally has become a nationwide trend to nurture the environment, and Cornwall has the highest concentration of organic and traditional food producers in Britain. The best pubs and restaurants advertise their links with local farmers and fishermen. What is local here in Cornwall is often the very best in the country.
Nearby Plymouth is a large University City, with a fantastic theatre (Theatre Royal) and is positioned on the estuary of the Plym and Tamar. I
