"Had great experience. No need to even check in or wait for someone to take you to lodge. This was fab for us as we'd had a long drive and it was such a bonus being able you just grab key and walk in. The lodge was great, very clean and modern decor throughout. It would be nice to see local artwork to make you feel like you're in Cornwall but that's just me! It really was very lovely. We couldn't work through radiators to dry our (own) towels and there were no instructions (other than a warning sheet) for the hot tub. I ended up downloading some to figure it out as not easiest thing to use without instructions. If the owners would like my electronic copy of the instructions please do drop me an email as I would be more than happy to email them over. Hot tub was otherwise warm, clean and extremely relaxing. Accessible through the main double bedroom and plenty of privacy afforded. Loved loved loved it! Kitchen great and clean with lots of utensils and great toaster. Lovely big dining table in addition to outdoor seating on the balcony overlooking fields. Really lovely. We'd asked for use of hot tub and cot. Both were ready upon our arrival so we were able to get baby to sleep fairly quickly and use hot tub on first night. We were reassured upon our departure that the hot tub is freshly prepared for each new guest. A chap came an emptied the hot tub at 9am on the last day. However we were bit confused as we had the lodge until 10am and we had toyed with the idea of packing up and having one last dip before we left that morning. Our lodge in particular was very private and not really overlooked by anyone. We used the indoor swimming pool twice. It was lovely and warm enough too. Our daughter loved it. The bar is a bit tired but great to have it as an option as bit too far to walk to another pub. If you're anything like us though you'll be too tired after a day of sightseeing and fun around beautiful cornwall. Loved every minute. Wish I had booked two weeks! Thanks guys"

"the lodge itself is lovely, very warm, spacious and very clean a nice bottle of bubbly as a welcome and the owners of the lodge could not have been more helpful. They were the good points, we were told by Sykes that all the amenities were open at the time of booking, with only a 3 weeks to go before we went they told us the restaurant and the bar were not open then 2 weeks to go there was no cycle hire and no site shop. the site is in the middle of nowhere so with out transport you were in a fix, further more there was no apology from Sykes, we have had 3 holidays with this company and it will be the last. If you are not to steady on your feet I would not recommend the site as it is very hilly and and lots of steps everywhere, the nearest pub/restaurant is about 3 miles away down very dangerous lanes not advisable to walk. The actual site is very run down and needs a good make over. I would have loved to give this a good report just for the sake of the owners of the lodge but as you see I can not."

"The third time we have stayed in this property. It is our dream cottage because of the huge ornamental gardens and the large duck pond, the comfort and the central location. Most places are within an hour to an hour and a half drive away. You can go down to Plymouth coast, across to Newquay coast or more locally Bodmin and Bodmin moor. There is plenty to do if you like walking particularly. Lots of leaflets/books in the cottage for ideas. The owners are fantastic and so welcoming. The town is only a few minutes away with supermarkets and pubs etc. Plenty of parking , ample hot water and heating. Only downside is that wifi only works in the parking area. Comfortable four poster bed, lounge diner with tv, dvd, radio and a kitchen with a guaranteed one of everything you could possibly need. We love it. Well recommended."
