Snaptrip says

Dartmoor Valley Lodge is a well-appreciated cottage in Cornwall, praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and warm atmosphere. Guests enjoyed the beautiful Tamar Valley location and the on-site amenities, despite some maintenance issues with the hot tub and Wi-Fi. The property offers a cosy stay with a touch of rustic charm.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The lodge received mixed feedback on cleanliness. While some guests found it spotless, others reported issues with hot tub cleanliness and general upkeep. The property seems to be clean overall, but specific areas require attention.

The location in the Tamar Valley is highly praised for its stunning views and proximity to local attractions. Guests were pleased with the peaceful setting and the convenience of nearby facilities.

Guests found the lodge to be cosy and the rooms of good size. However, there were complaints about squeaky floors and beds, and some discomfort due to dampness during a wet week.

Facilities like the hot tub and Wi-Fi were frequently mentioned as problematic, with several reports of non-working jets and slow or non-existent internet service. Other amenities, such as the swimming pool and park, were appreciated when available.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness of the property based on the available information.

Gunnislake is a little town in the countryside that sits on the forested slopes of the River Tamar. There are some stores and pubs in this small town. The settlement is located at the beginning of the beautiful Tamar Valley Railway, which runs along the riverbank all the way to Plymouth. Dartmoor, the beaches of the south and north coasts, and the sights of Cornwall's westernmost region are all easily accessible from here. Nearby attractions include the Donkey Sanctuary and Cotehele House and Gardens (NT), all less than ten minutes away, as well as the Dartmoor town of Tavistock with its pannier market, pubs, and restaurants. You may go otter and deer spotting along the Tamar Valley walk, explore the restored Victorian mining community of Morwellham Quay 4 miles away, visit the National Trust-owned Lydford Gorge, or head to Looe's beach and charming harbour, which is 25 miles away. For a change of pace, take the Tamar Valley Railway to Plymouth to see the fantastic Marine Aquarium or to wander the ancient Plymouth Hoe.

    The hot tub however was not pleasant, not sure when it had last been cleaned, there was a green film to the bubbles when the jets were on & the filter was revolting. Whole thing needs emptying, cleaning, filter replaced & refilled.

  • Jayne

    Outside where we stayed had 6-8 normal Biffa waste bins, surely recycling could be made available. BBQ was dirty couldn’t use it and some of the jets in the hot tub wasn’t working.
