The lodge is appreciated for its cleanliness by some, but others have noted issues such as greasy marks, dusty blinds, and smeared windows. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent problem.
The location is praised for its peacefulness and proximity to local attractions like Looe. The beautiful views and quiet setting contribute to a positive experience.
The lodge is described as comfortable and warm, with a particularly enjoyable outdoor decking area. However, some guests mention uncomfortable furniture and a noisy toilet floor, slightly detracting from the overall comfort.
Facilities such as the sauna, jacuzzi, and cinema room are highlights, but maintenance issues with the LED lights, sound system, and gym equipment are concerns that affect the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

The hot tub was private and hidden. The nearest supermarket was 5-10 minutes away. There's Netflix, Amazon, Now TV etc. I'd recommend signing out of them before you come here so you can use them (and sign out when you leave

A different lodge this time. Good outdoors space not used due to the weather. Good facilities. Comfortable although the bathroom was small. Liked the split levels.

It was lovely to go in the summer as normally we come in November. The only downside we found was there was no coffee table as shown in booking so nowhere to place drinks only on the floor if sitting on the sofa - and breakfast bar stools was again different to brochure - not adjustable or very comfortable to sit on whilst eating or playing board games / cards of an evening after dark. We went and brought a folding table to use for this purpose and use the poofies to sit on as was more comfortable. We do appreciate that things need to be replaced as and when. It maybe an idea at some point to add a small lamp for lounge in the evening as only ceiling lights as such. Having said all that we did have a lovely stay and otherwise accommodation was just as it states perfect. Thanks for a lovely break away.
