Good location for exploring south west Cornwall. The lodge was well equipped and had just about everything we needed in the kitchen. Some better garden furniture and a more comfortable sofa and armchair would really improve the property. We really appreciated the cream tea and milk in the fridge when we arrived, a lovely touch.
Emma
Welcome cream tea was very yummy. The owners were very responsive in solving an issue we had. The trees around the cottage were beautiful and the location is very quiet (next to owners' home and other houses, but still very peaceful).

Very cold dark and damp. Sofa is worn out bathroom radiator doesn't work so wet towels the extractor doesn't extract and the bathroom has mould and alsorts of animals crawling around. It's also down 2 unmade roads which needs to be stated and under loads of trees making it cold dark and damp. Very disappointed really Very basic no nice touches. Very basic for the money. If your over 6ft the bed is a painful challenge. Garden not great either. Sad to say it's very tired and needs some love. Until these issues are done I would not recommend this to anyone.
