Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests have reported issues with cleanliness, including the presence of cobwebs, a musty smell, and unclean bathrooms. Some guests found the lodge to be tidy upon arrival, but the consistency of cleanliness appears to be a concern.
The lodge is praised for its great location, providing a central base for exploring Cornwall. The site's facilities and the surrounding area are appreciated by guests, although accessibility may be challenging for those with mobility issues due to steep paths.
The lodge is generally considered comfortable, with adequate space for guests. However, there are comments about uncomfortable beds and furniture, and some rooms feeling cramped, which affects the overall comfort level.
Facilities such as the hot tub and on-site pools are highlights for guests. However, maintenance issues with appliances, showers, and Wi-Fi detract from the experience. The property would benefit from updates and repairs to enhance the facilities offered.
While guests have mentioned special touches like tea, coffee, and biscuits upon arrival, there is insufficient information to determine a consistent level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or extra amenities. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such gestures are a standard practice.

There was smashed glass in the main bedroom under the bed and some in bin underneath the new bag. But other than that we absolutely loved the lodge hot tub was a bonus my kids loved it. I would definitely recommend staying here.

One of the kitchen drawer fronts had come off. The WiFi cables had been messed about but we got it working. All pretty minor stuff in the scheme of things and we had a nice week in a lovely spot.

No stairgate asked about having one only to be told the last users broke it and there was no replacement available. Everything felt really sticky as though it had been sprayed with something. Cobwebs everywhere especially around the hot tub of which the surround was falling to bits. No curtain/blind in the bathroom to keep the light from the outside light out. Would never of paid what we did if we knew it was like it wasâ¦.the whole site is very tired.
