We had a lovely stay at lodge 53 una . The lodge was lovely, clean and spacious. Angela was very responsive when we couldn’t get the tv working. Location wise , it’s quite a way out of Carbis bay, and sadly there is little around . The coffee shop on site is convenient, but it is a shame the restaurant no longer operates and both places down the road, one of which I think was the Italian , have closed. You do need transport to get around unless you are fit enough to do the hill! That said the villa itself was perfect

Amazing stay at Lodge 53, Una St. Ives in Carbis Bay. The house was amazing. Unfortunately it is not an enclosed rear garden where the hot tub is located but otherwise couldn’t fault the location or facilities with both the house and the resort.
