About this property

Superior holiday lodge in a tranquil setting including FREE GOLF & LEISURE !!!

No. 12 Oakridge is one of 20 properties located on a secluded private estate set in 40 acres of unspoilt countryside. The Oakridge Estate borders the famous St Mellion Estate in Cornwall.

As well as providing access to the golf & leisure facilities at St Mellion Estate (see further details below), the lodge provides a great base for exploring the wonderful countryside, beaches and numerous tourist attractions that Devon and Cornwall have to offer.

Lodge rental includes 2No golf passes* which permit two people FREE use of the two championship golf courses, plus 2No leisure passes which permit two people FREE use of the health & leisure facilities at St Mellion.
* Additional golfers are entitled to a member guest rate of up to 50% off the standard green fee rate (different rates apply depending on time/day/week/month, etc).

GOLF
St Mellion is renowned as one of England’s finest golf venues, boasting two championship courses which ensure it is a regular in the top UK course rankings being most recently (2025) ranked 23rd in the Golf World Top 100 Best Golf Resorts in Great Britain & Ireland.

SIGNATURE COURSE
Opened in 1988, the Jack Nicklaus design 'Signature' course was the Golden Bear's first project in the UK - the course opened to rave reviews with Nicklaus himself being quoted “I knew it was going to be good, but not this good..... it’s everything I hoped for and more”
The course measures 7,019 yds from the championship tees and provides a thorough examination, but there are tees to suit golfers of all abilities. The course blends into the landscape and the design places a premium on finding the correct position from the elevated tees in order to attack the flags. Inaccuracy will be punished severely by the strategically positioned bunkers and water hazards or the rough. The Signature course can boast hosting various prestigious events including the B & H International Open, English Amateur Championship, English Seniors Open & PGA European Tour's English Open and was the scene of some classic battles between the great golfers of the ‘80s & ‘90s. Past winners of St Mellion tournaments include Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Sandy Lyle, Bernhard Langer & Jose Maria Olazabal.

KERNOW COURSE
Opened in 1976 and formerly known as the Old Course, the Kernow offers a fine championship layout in its own right which hosted various prestigious events prior to the arrival of the Signature course, including the B&H International Open & the Tournament Players Championship.
Although it is not particularly long by modern standards measuring 5,782 yards, there is no shortage of challenge and intrigue following a major face-lift in 2008 which saw the addition of new lakes and bunkers, plus some totally rebuilt putting surfaces.
This has seen the Kernow develop into a very popular golf course with members & visitors alike - the relatively wide fairways & large greens means the course provides a perfect foil for the Nicklaus Course which has gained a popular following. In a recent survey it was included in the Top 5 "2nd Courses" in the UK’s best 36-hole golf courses.

LEISURE

The location was serene and beautiful, surrounded by peaceful countryside and greenery — exactly what we were looking for for a relaxing family getaway.The property itself was excellent: spacious, comfortable, clean and very well equipped. Everything we needed for a few days was available, and the layout was perfect for our family. The balcony/deck was a lovely place to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.A major highlight for us was the fantastic leisure facilities at St Mellion. The swimming pools were brilliant and our children absolutely loved them. Having access to the leisure facilities made the stay even more enjoyable and gave us plenty to do when we weren't exploring Cornwall.The location is also ideal for exploring the area, with beautiful beaches, Looe, Whitsand Bay, Rame Head and other attractions all within easy driving distance. It was wonderful to have such a peaceful base while still being close to so many places to visit.The property was exactly as described, and the whole experience was smooth and relaxing. Communication was excellent and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay.Our children had a fantastic time, and as a family we genuinely enjoyed every moment. We would happily stay at Oakridge again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable and family-friendly Cornish getaway.A beautiful property in a wonderful location — we couldn't have asked for a better stay!

An amazing and thrilling stay

We loved the house with amazing views, modern interior - it is a lovely family holiday home. The kids loved the quiet estate road, as they are free to roam by themselves on their skateboards. We loved our stroll along the beach at Whitsand Bay, with a breathtaking coastline, finished off with a delicious lunch at the Cliff Top Cafe.

About the host

Hosted by Simon Parker

Host profile image

Although we love to visit Oakridge as often as we can, unfortunately, due to work & family commitments this does not happen nearly as often as we would like.

As 12 Oakridge is not a cosy second home benefit for us, we are pleased to offer our guests the opportunity to enjoy everything that the property and location has to offer.

Our guest reviews and Visitor Book comments consistently indicate that people not only appreciate the accommodation and setting and the superb golf & leisure facilities that St Mellion Estate has to offer, but also consider that the lodge provides an ideal base from which to explore the numerous and varied local attractions.

We do hope that you thoroughly enjoy your stay at 12 Oakridge!

Kind Regards
The Parker Family

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for a holiday property in Devon or Cornwall as a long-term investment which we could also use as family getaway.

We stumbled across the Oakridge estate almost by mistake and immediately fell in love with the tranquil location and the lodges with their 'up-side down' living and views out over the St Mellion Estate Nicklaus golf course and immediate countryside.

Our love of Oakridge is helped by the fact that a number of family members are keen golfers & we were enticed by the superb golf on offer at St Mellion Estate including the Nicklaus Signature course and the Kernow Resort course which provide a varied, challenging & rewarding (at least some of the time!) golf in a superb setting.

The 13th hole of the 'Signature' course is just a short walk away across the bridge located directly outside the lodge, with the clubhouse and leisure club a short stroll away via the golf course buggy paths.

What makes this property unique

We provide two golf and two leisure memberships for St Mellion which provide access to the Signature and Kernow golf courses and the leisure facilities which include a 25m pool, leisure pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, gym, tennis courts, etc.

These passes are complimentary for our guests and are included in the rental price - we hope that people appreciate the facilities and make good use of them during their stay.

BARS & RESTAURANTS
St Mellion incorporates a number of restaurants......

The An Boesti is a 2 AA-Rosette restaurant and serves fresh, local ingredients in a modern decor. There is also an adjoining bar to enjoy some pre or after dinner drinks.
The No.18 Bistro is a less formal offering providing all-day dining in a relaxed atmosphere, serving freshly ground coffee, afternoon tea, homemade desserts and a selection of healthy options.

The Nicklaus Bar overlooks the 18th green of the championship golf course. It’s the perfect spot to get together after a day of golfing at St Mellion. There is a wide selection of hot and cold food available along with light snacks.

In addition to the golf and leisure facilities, 12 Oakridge provides a superb base from which to explore the beautiful countryside with so much to see and do within just a short drive - there is far too much to list but just a few family favourites are Whitsand Bay, Mt Edgcumbe Country Park, Cotehele House & Quay and Antony House.
