Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge receives high marks for cleanliness, with several reviews mentioning it being 'perfectly clean' and 'tidy'. However, a few guests noted cobwebs and a lack of cleaning supplies, slightly affecting the score.
The location is consistently praised for being quiet, peaceful, and easily accessible, with a beautiful setting that is convenient for exploring Cornwall and South Devon.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the lodge spacious and the beds comfortable. The presence of a cinema room and private areas add to the overall comfort, though there are suggestions for minor improvements.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the cinema room and jacuzzi. However, the score is affected by reports of minor maintenance issues, such as problems with the jacuzzi jet cover and the vacuum cleaner.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as balloons for a birthday celebration and milk in the fridge upon arrival. While these gestures enhance the experience, it is noted that such gifts are a pleasant surprise and not guaranteed.
About this property
This decadent, contemporary lodge is situated in the resort of Southern Halt, close to Dobwalls in Cornwall. 2 Southern Place is a spacious, airy lodge which is the perfect escape for a couple looking for a break in rural, peaceful surroundings. In a wildlife hotspot surrounded by nature, you'll be at home in your own piece of heaven for your holiday. The lodge boasts an open-plan living space, with everything you need to make the best of your stay here. You can cuddle up on the sofa before the large TV and Bluetooth music system or cook together in the well-equipped kitchen before enjoying a meal at the table. For a fully relaxing experience, the lodge has its own spa room, where you can take time out of your day to enjoy the warm bubbles and hot sauna, the perfect treat for your escape. After your spa-like treatment, you'll find a personal cinema room, ready for your favourite flicks. Dim the lights and let yourself recline and enjoy the action. After all this relaxing, lay your head to rest in the beautiful bedroom with its super king-size bed and stylish fixtures. If you feel like watching the sunset, you'll find the lodge has its own personal sky deck, complete with garden furniture to enjoy a glass of wine or cup of tea in your own slice of the great outdoors.

Nearby you'll find the local attraction of Golitha Falls and the River Fowey, with diverse landscapes and picture-perfect scenery. If you're a fan of walking and a lover of nature, nearby Bodmin Moor will offer you a fantastic day out, or if you'd prefer a more coastal surrounding, a trip to Looe and Polperro can provide a range of shops and a colourful harbour to enjoy. Guests are welcome to dine at the Old Mill Bar and Restaurant found on our sister site, Stonerush Lakes which just a short drive away. No matter the occasion for your break, 2 Southern Place will ensure you have a fantastic stay.
Dobwalls, a small settlement near Liskeard, Bodmin Moor, and the stunning north and south Cornish beaches, is bordered by farms and woods. The lovely fishing harbours of Looe, Fowey, and Polperro are 15 miles south, while Padstow and the surfing beach at Polzeath are a pleasant drive on the North Coast. Visit Siblyback Lake for sailing, fishing, and watersports or Bodmin Moor for great walking. Plymouth is just a short train ride from Liskeard station and 15 miles from the Eden project.

We came to relax and we achieved this. The team were available when required. Highly recommended.

CONS: We specifically searched for properties with a hot tub. THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE A HOT TUB. It has a large jacuzzi inside so was misleading. A nice touch was finding a TV to watch when in the jacuzzi but this does not work and apparently the intention is not to replace it. Car parking was the opposite side of the cabin to the entrance. This generally isn't a problem for most but for disabled people it meant loading and unloading the car took a while, particularly when trying to pull a suitcase over the gravel. Twice during our stay the boiler lost pressure which meant no hot water or central heating. Thankfully the underfloor heating in the kitchen area and shower room was effective so we still had one warm room. Maintenance service was prompt. PROS: The cabin itself was very well equipped and tastefully furnished with quality fittings. It was comfortable and when the boiler works, very warm and cosy. We slept well but a double duvet on a superking size bed isn't practical as there is no overhang at the sides. The shower was large and easily accessible. We were allowed to take our two small dogs and they were safely enclosed. We took blankets to use as they are not allowed on the white bedding and we didn't want them scratching the sofa. Our stay was the end of February and we found it very quiet which we appreciated. For a getaway retreat away from it all it's ideal. For those who like saunas that was an added pleasure. I do feel though that there should be adequate safety advice to safeguard those with health conditions. The local Morrisions store delivers to the site with online ordering so if you plan ahead you can have your groceries arrive shortly after you arrive. We won't be going back but will continue booking with Sykes to stay in places with a hot tub. (If the cabin had a hot tub we would).

Letâs just say at midnight on our last evening, we were booking for 6 weeks time in a similar lodge, to make our Leaving Day just that little bit less painful! Lovely property & areaâ¦tiny note to ownersâ¦we did miss the coffee machine(wouldâve brought our compact one) & maybe update Jacuzzi laminate as the TV is not working & unfixable (would've saved the Hunt The Controller before mentioning it to reception) Thanks for a lovely break away!
