Guests say
Guests generally enjoy the stunning views, luxurious amenities such as the cinema room, jacuzzi, and sauna, and the property's proximity to local attractions. The welcome box is appreciated, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, some maintenance issues and cleanliness concerns are noted.
Reviews indicate that while the property is well-presented upon arrival, there are concerns about deep cleaning and occasional issues with the jacuzzi cleanliness. Some guests encountered black mould-like sludge from the jets, and stained floor towels.
The property's location is highly praised for its peacefulness and convenience to local attractions such as the Eden Project and nearby towns. The proximity to a supermarket is also appreciated.
The comfort of the lodge is well-regarded, with a particularly comfy bed and relaxing jacuzzi bath. However, some guests mention issues with underfloor heating, a loud bedroom radiator, and the need for a blind on the skylight to prevent early morning light.
Facilities like the cinema room and sauna are highlights, but maintenance issues such as peeling paint, a confusing heating system, and jacuzzi jets turning on randomly detract from the experience. The TVs are also noted as outdated.
The welcome box and milk are thoughtful touches that guests appreciate, enhancing their stay. However, it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary.

The lodge was shabby and in need of a lot of maintenance. We would have left had we not been offered to be moved to a different lodge. The lodge we moved into was amazing. We would definitely not return to No 19. This review is based solely on No19 and not on the lodge we moved to which we would definitely return back to. Tracey was brilliant in sorting out our issues and offering the other lodge.

The advertisement and pictures donât align as this lodge is in need of some maintenance for sure and updates. The Jaquzzi bath leaked and the floor was lifting, the carpet to the bedroom area was threadbare and lifting and my partner who has MS nearly fell on lifted flooring and carpet also. The table and chairs on the bedroom veranda were falling apart and just at the end of days. It was a shame really but the only lifeline was the receptionist onsite who moved us to another lodge and it was truly appreciated. If this hadnât of happened then I feel I would have no option to return home and abandoned the holiday. So I was pleased with Tracey and her communication from the outset that saved the day.

As for the outside furniture was in a poor state the rattan on the back of the chairs was broken which made it very uncomfortable to sit on.
