Lodge 53 Una, while in need of refurbishment, offers a homely and spacious stay near beautiful beaches and coastal walks. Guests appreciate the clean facilities, including a nice pool, and the welcoming treat on arrival. The responsive management ensures a relaxing break in Cornwall.
The lodge is generally described as clean, with particularly clean spa and pools. However, some reviews mention tiredness and wear, which could affect perceptions of cleanliness.
The location is praised for its proximity to beautiful beaches and coastal walks, although it is noted to be in Carbis Bay rather than St Ives, which is a short walk or train ride away.
The lodge is considered homely and spacious with huge beds, but some guests found the beds too firm and the lodge not suitable for disabled guests due to difficult stairs.
Facilities like the pool are appreciated, but there are several mentions of the lodge being tired, with cracked tiles, damaged kitchen units, and appliances on their last legs.
Guests were delighted by the welcoming treat on arrival, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
Escape to Una, relax and unwind in serene surroundings with on-site leisure facilities and a lavish spa experience. Immerse yourself in nature’s beauty while enjoying ultimate tranquillity, making it the perfect retreat..

Stayed at Una many times in some lovely accommodation. However Lodge 53 is poor. It is now extremely tired with stained carpets, cracked floor tiles and failing door and window furniture. The primary TV only operates my means of individual Apps per channel and the dishwasher is on its last legs. We were advised by housekeeping that this lodge is due refurbishment which may benefit future guests but was of little comfort to us. If considering staying please explore the many superior lodges on this development.
