Guests say
Guests generally find 4 Stonerush Valley a peaceful and relaxing retreat, with its secluded hot tub and modern amenities such as a freestanding bath and wood burner adding to the romantic atmosphere. The surrounding nature and on-site restaurant enhance the experience, although some guests noted areas for improvement in maintenance and cleanliness.
While many guests found the lodge clean and tidy, there were several mentions of dust, unemptied bins, and mould, suggesting room for improvement in cleanliness standards.
The lodge's location is highly praised for its tranquillity, natural beauty, and privacy, with the sound of a stream and local wildlife adding to the serene experience.
The lodge is often described as cosy and comfortable, particularly the bed and living areas. However, some guests mentioned issues with the mattress and a desire for more mirrors near power sockets.
Facilities like the hot tub, wood burner, and modern kitchen are well-received, but reports of maintenance issues such as broken appliances and the need for TLC lower the score.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
About this property
With its blissfully private hot tub nestled in a peaceful, wooded Cornish valley, 4 Stonerush Valley offers an indulgent escape for couples, solo travellers and four legged companions. Just a short drive from Looe, Polperro and the South Cornwall coast, this beautifully designed, pet friendly lodge is surrounded by wildlife, lakes and unspoilt countryside.
Inside, the lodge is bright, spacious and thoughtfully designed across one level. The open plan living area is bathed in natural light, with French doors opening directly onto the deck to create a gentle flow between airy indoor comfort and serene outdoor space. It’s the perfect setting for slow mornings, relaxed film nights and the kind of unhurried evenings that make a getaway feel truly restorative. The well equipped kitchen keeps self catering simple, while The Old Mill Bar & Restaurant, just a short stroll away, offers wood fired pizzas, relaxed date night dishes and lakeside cocktails without leaving the park.
The bedroom is a romantic sanctuary, centred around a striking four poster bed dressed in soft hotel quality linens. A soothing, spa like feel continues into the bathroom, where a freestanding feature bath invites long, luxurious soaks, complete with spa-style bathrobes, fluffy towels and quality complimentary toiletries to elevate your stay.
Step onto the private terrace and the lodge’s standout feature awaits. Nestled in a peaceful corner and surrounded by nature, the hot tub provides a wonderfully secluded spot to unwind - whether it’s a quiet morning dip, a restorative mid afternoon pause or an indulgent soak beneath the stars. With woodland scenery and the gentle sounds of nature as your backdrop, it’s an idyllic space for romance, reflection and pure relaxation.
For walkers, gentle routes weave through the Stonerush Lakes grounds, with nearby bridleways leading through woodland, countryside and lakeside scenery rich with wildlife. The South-West Coast Path is within easy reach too, offering spectacular coastal walks and sandy stretches at Talland Bay, Lantic Bay and Seaton Beach - all offering beautiful, year round dog friendly exploring.
Venturing a little further, you’ll find a wealth of unforgettable days out. Explore the dramatic landscapes of Bodmin Moor, wander the cascades of Golitha Falls, or spend the day at world class attractions including the Eden Project, Lanhydrock House or The Lost Gardens of Heligan. With picturesque harbours, beaches, coastal towns and countryside all close by, the lodge puts you at the heart of some of Cornwall’s most celebrated scenery.
Combining tranquillity, privacy and a wonderfully indulgent setting, 4 Stonerush Valley is a refined and romantic hideaway - the perfect choice for couples reconnecting, solo travellers unwinding and dog owners seeking a peaceful, luxurious retreat in every season.

Could not fault anything. Must be the best place we have ever stayed. The only down was the restaurant was closed temporarily when we were there so we couldnât sample it. But never mind, we went to the Jubilee Inn at Pelynt for our evening meals. Great eatery. Tried Jamaica Inn further afield, food was awful for the price so would not recommend! This place has a lovely, serene atmosphere, and the Christmas tree was a lovely surprise. Thank you Stonerush Lakes. Hoping to come in May next year for another short break.

Set back in the trees, very private and peaceful. The wood burner added a cosy touch and the hot tub, checked daily, was lovely. The staff at the restaurant were friendly and the food delicious, we will be back! The only very small thing I can think of to add would be a mirror in the bathroom.

There were so many amenities not listed that you had (the washing machine, iron, freezer, wifi - etc) we were very impressed. We felt the bed was a little uncomfortable and could do with a memory foam matress topper or similar as we could feel the springs in it. The only other thing we could improve would be to have a mirror in the shower room above the sink. One could be attached to the cupboard easily or have a shaving mirror in there - as it was a little awkward to keep going from the bathroom to the bedroom to use the mirror, rinse the razor etc. Otherwise a perfect stay. Lovely. We have family in Cornwall and look forward to returning next year.
