Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge generally appears to be clean, but there have been reports of a persistent smell in the bathroom and a damp smell due to a leaking dishwasher. These issues seem to be isolated rather than indicative of overall poor cleanliness.
The lodge is set in a lovely, peaceful location with perfect views, providing a sense of privacy. The location is appreciated for its tranquillity and natural beauty, although one review suggests the nearby pub is not recommended.
Most guests find the lodge very comfortable and roomy, with the most comfortable bed ever mentioned in one review. However, one guest suggested the need for a thinner duvet, indicating room for improvement in adapting to guests' comfort needs.
While the hot tub is a highlight, there have been several reports of maintenance issues, including a non-functional dishwasher and a sewage smell in the bathroom. These issues have affected the enjoyment of the facilities for some guests.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
About this property
With an idyllic location, set back from the hustle and bustle of Dobwalls village in Cornwall, is this stylish holiday home, 8 Horizon View. You will find accommodation to the highest possible standard, nestled across from the slopes of Bodmin Moor and the southern Cornish coastline, inviting six guests to enjoy a true escape with a private hot tub, flexible sleeping arrangements, and an open-plan living space. Stepping into the lodge, the solid wood furniture and contemporary fixtures and fittings add a touch of class to the interior; a place where you can gather with friends and talk about the days gone by. Use this space to cook up a delicious meal for the whole family or put your feet up with a good book and wallow in the peace and quiet. Step out onto the decking and feel the fresh Cornish air on your face; the patio furniture makes a good spot for dining alfresco. Why not take a dip in the luxurious hot tub and admire the patchwork of green and yellow fields, lined with hedgerows and trees? Retreat to bed, selecting between a double with TV and en-suite, a twin with TV, and a further twin, all serviced by a sleek bathroom, before awakening to an itinerary filled with adventure. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, activities and attractions are in abundance; outdoor enthusiasts can spend their time exploring the surrounding area, including the idyllic Bodmin Moor, Moyclare Garden during warmer months and Adrenalin Quarry is open all year round for those feeling more adventurous. Set amongst a stunning backdrop, visit the breath-taking Siblyback Lake and enjoy a relaxing cruise or test your hand at a range of water sport activities. Venture into the nearby towns of Liskeard and Bodmin should you fancy an amble around a network of quirky streets, popping in and out of independent shops in search of a souvenir to take home. The Monkey Sanctuary in Looe makes a lovely day out and the picturesque fishing harbour offers crabbing and local pubs aplenty. Sit out and enjoy a pint as the boats glide out to sea. Polperro is another delightful village worth a visit, with narrow streets and colourful houses among gift boutiques and pasty shops. 8 Horizon View is remarkable retreat to be enjoyed in all seasons.
This village is surrounded by open fields and countryside, and is close to the market town of Liskeard. Explore the many delights the region has to offer, with the fishing harbours of Looe and Polperro within 8 miles. Take a trip to Siblyback Lake and enjoy the sailing, fishing and watersports available, or take full advantage of walking on Bodmin Moor.

The place was simply stunning and the view was incredible that we had at the back of the lodge. Its by far our best weekend weâve had away. If your a couple looking for a little break this is perfect for you. Your completely separate to others and the view that the back looks upon is simply stunning whilst enjoying the tub The staff are all lovely and the community are so friendly. We wish we found this stay before! We will 100000% be back and be recommending. Thank you for a beautiful stay

I had 3 lodges for my family 8,10 and 11. They were particularly clean and the decking dangerous for the little ones. There was a leak in the bathroom at 11 which looks like it had bern leaking for a long time by the colour of the wooden floor. We stay the same week every year not sure about next year now very disappointed.

We were told to open windows and doors which we did do but it never really went away. I do not understand how when the property was checked earlier in the day it was not noticed as it was really strong. We just dealt with it. We did speak to the lady who we saw completing hot tub checks. There was not the usual amount of bubbles coming out of all the jets. She said she didn't have the right tools and would come back the next day to sort it. Two different people did come and clearly with tools trying to fix it but really it did not improve.
