Our only criticism would be the fitted sheets. They are too small for the bed.The office staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I would like you to tell them how much we appreciated all they did for us.

The lodge was comfy and the campsite well maintained and nice with a playground and games room. Location was ok - about 20 minutes to drive to nearby beaches/attractions/pubs that we wanted to go to.

The lodge was great for us. A family of 5 plus 1 dog.We had plenty of space. The location was perfect to get to other various locations/beaches. Our only disappointment was the duvets were all stained. Which makes you question how clean the lodge is? Also the garden, was a great space but for an inquisitive dog, he could fit through the chicken wire and escape into the surrounding woodland. So we had to be with him at all times.We visited Perranporth, the beach was great. Sandy, welcoming of dogs and in the middle of the beach, there is a fantastic large, rock pool, my kids loved jumping into the seawater.The sea was fantastic too. My kids loved to body board. The promenade had some independent stores, which my kids love and plenty of cafes and ice cream parlours.We also visited Falmouth. This place was fantastic for shopping. They had loads of independent stores along with the well known ones like Superdrug. Plenty pubs cafes and ice cream parlours. We had a fantastic time just looking and shopping.Overall, we had a fantastic stay!At the lodge, they had entertainment on most nights with a different array of food vans to help with them evening munches.Not a fantastic range of alcohol, but we got by.They have a laundrette on site which we found very useful.We had a great time in Truro and on the campsite. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone wanting to visit Cornwall.We would love to visit again...
