Guests have praised 7 Faraway Fields for its relaxing atmosphere, welcoming staff, and excellent hot tub facilities. The lodge is appreciated for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and beautiful location. While there are minor maintenance issues and occasional discomforts, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The lodge generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it lovely and clean upon arrival. However, there were instances of dog hair on the sofa, a clump of hair in the shower, and some dust, which slightly impacted the score.
The location is celebrated for its quietness, seclusion, and proximity to amenities and various towns. The occasional mention of a foul smell from a nearby stream is noted but does not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
Comfort is well-regarded, with the lodge providing a relaxing stay. Some guests mentioned the lodge being very hot during a heatwave and issues with bed size for taller individuals, which suggests room for improvement in comfort for all guests.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the hot tub. Maintenance issues such as a non-locking bathroom, a partially working toaster, and a heated towel rail that couldn't be turned off have led to a slightly lower score.
While guests have mentioned a lovely welcome pack, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of thoughtfulness across all stays. Therefore, the score is set to null, and it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.
7 Faraway Fields is a spacious three-bedroom lodge positioned on Bodmin Moor's slopes, near the South Cornish coast and charming villages of Looe, Polperro and Fowey. Designed for families seeking generous space and countryside exploration, it features a king-size bedroom with en-suite and dressing area, two twin bedrooms, a wraparound deck with hot tub, welcomes pets with secure outdoor space, and open-plan living with panoramic views. Set over a single storey, the open-plan living area flows naturally, with large windows framing the surrounding landscape. Natural light floods the space, and patio doors open to allow fresh air through during warm afternoons.
A well-equipped kitchen provides everything needed for self-catered family meals, with the dining table becoming the natural gathering point for mealtimes and planning days ahead. The king-size bedroom is a considered retreat, complete with en-suite and dressing area for privacy. The two twin bedrooms are well-suited to younger family members or additional guests, positioned near the family bathroom. Outside, the wraparound deck becomes the social heart of the property, where meals can be enjoyed alfresco before the family gathers around the hot tub as evening settles. Positioned on Bodmin Moor's slopes, this lodge offers direct access to moorland exploration. Walking trails begin nearby, ranging from gentle countryside rambles to more substantial moorland walks with far-reaching views.
The South Cornish coast is within easy reach. Looe provides beaches and working harbour charm for traditional seaside days, whilst Polperro and Fowey offer village exploration with waterfront character. Dog-owning families benefit particularly, with nearby beaches welcoming dogs year-round. The Old Mill Bar and Restaurant at sister site Stonerush Lakes offers dining without cooking duties. Whether seeking quiet moorland retreat or active exploration of coast and countryside, 7 Faraway Fields provides the space and setting for families to enjoy rural Cornwall at their own pace.
In addition to being close to the market town of Liskeard, the Bodmin Moor's slopes, and the stunning north and south Cornish beaches, the rural community of Dobwalls is surrounded by open fields and forested countryside. With the charming fishing harbours of Looe, Fowey, and Polperro only 15 miles away to the south and Padstow and the surfing beach at Polzeath just a short drive away on the North Coast, this is the ideal starting point for discovering everything that the area has to offer. Visit Siblyback Lake to take advantage of the fantastic sailing, fishing, and watersports available there, or go a little further to enjoy the fantastic walking on Bodmin Moor. A 25-minute train trip or 30-minute drive from the local Liskeard station will get you to Plymouth, which is within 15 miles of the Eden Project. This is an excellent place to stay when on vacation because of the Barbican harbour area, world-famous aquarium, and wide variety of stores, restaurants, and theatres.

I love how quiet it is & how clean & well maintained the site itself is. We love coming down here with the dog itâs such a nice get away - will be back in a few months no doubt

Comms where amazing, and despite it being over the Xmas peroid, and the main reception was closed, the staff called to ensure all we understood all the facilities, and were so welcoming. The location was great, and the lodge was just home from home; didn't want to leave. Would return and happily recommend.
