Just a short walk will take you into the village of St Day formerly the home of the many miners who worked throughout what was the one of the wealthiest mining areas in the world. These days the hustle and bustle is replaced by a quiet traditional Cornish village with a welcoming pub, the St Day Inn and individual shops. For real ale lovers the Star Inn, well known throughout the County for the well kept, constantly changing beers has been recognized by CAMRA is close by in the hamlet of Vogue and well worth a visit. A beautiful lodge in a great central touring location and available all year.

The lodge has three bedrooms, not two, the third being a small single. The bathroom is excellent, with rainfall and traditional shower and loads of room. The kitchen is fully stocked with all utensils, the oven is extensive, and everything is super clean. The garden is large, with decking and seating areas. The hot tub was always on and ready for use; it had loads of room and was fun. We will return to this lodge.

The property is maintained to a high standard and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. The hot tub was the perfect way to spend a relaxing evening after a busy day exploring the beautiful and stunning Cornish coastline. The owners were non intrusive and the lovely gift(s) on arrival were a really nice touch and very much appreciated. Only note I would add is Sykes listing show this property as a 2 bedroom, however there are actually 3 bedrooms.

The hosts were fantastic, a lovely arrival gift of Prosecco and chocolates to welcome us and the son Nathan always on hand with any questions and checking the hot tub daily which was a fabulous touch at the end of busy days exploiting. The accommodation is spotless, really spacious with a fantastic walk in shower. Outside a huge decking area with a hot tub with outdoor lights which was so lovely of an evening. We explored many areas of the local area from St Ives to Padstow and would book this place again when we return back to this part of the country. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Outstanding place.
