Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its spotless condition upon arrival. This indicates meticulous maintenance and housekeeping standards.
The location is frequently described as ideal for accessing local attractions, beaches, and walks, making it a prime spot for visitors. The proximity to Porthleven and the peaceful setting are particularly appreciated.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests noting the lodge's cosy atmosphere, comfortable furnishings, and the peaceful environment that contributes to a restful stay.
Facilities are well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped property and thoughtful amenities. However, there is a minor note about TV reception and a suggestion to include a hairdryer in the description.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through welcome gifts such as cream teas and Easter eggs, although such gestures are not guaranteed. The provision of local information and the rescue hen eggs add to the personalised experience.

It's in the garden of the owners but surrounded by delightful gardens and safe for dogs. A quiet location but just a few minutes drive from cliff path and the many independent shops cafes and restaurants in Porth Leven.
