    This stay changed my perception of the south - and would move here in a heartbeat.

    Wasn't long enough. Initially the sat nav took us past the entrance, which, if i'd taken 2 seconds to look, i wouldn't have missed.

    Upon arrival, was met by the owner of the restaraunt. Guided me to the lodge (we were able to drive directly up to it, but weren't 100% sure initially) and was able to book us in for food (we arrived early evening on a Sunday). Got to the lodge and as well as it being spotless, there was a folder prepared for us with information about the property and local sights and amenities. Had a good chat with the owner who showed me around the other parts of the property as well as the adjoining foot/rugby golf courses. Was refreshing to not just be a lodger who was there to line the pockets. Aside from that, found the travel to other areas really easy and relatively quick. For groceries & fuel etc, a large Tesco Extra supermarket was only a 5 minute drive away, the coastal town of Porthleven was only 15 minutes away (with free parking after 4pm). Lands End and St Ives were barely 45 minutes drive away (avoiding small single track roads).

    Not enough storage for clothes in bedrooms. Shelves needed in bathroom to put toiletries on and another cupboard in kitchen to store food.

    Beautiful view overlooking golf course and countryside. Perfect for visiting local beaches and attractions.

    4ft double is too tiny, personally I would compromise the bed side cabinets for a bigger bed

    Absolutely idyllic, all you could need is there.

    The restaurant on site was very over priced. We would have eaten there more if it was more reasonable. Nice enough just too expensive and not family friendly enough

    It was lovely & clean. We loved the location. The park was great for the kids. We loved that the kids had a separate bedroom. And being able to park just outside the lodge was a lovely bonus too

    Not enough storage for clothes. A shelf in the bathroom for toiletries would also be useful

    There was some confusion regarding the code for the key box. Booking.com sent a pin number but this wasn't the correct code. Fortunately, I was able to phone the owner and the problem was easily resolved.

    The mattresses and bedding. The bunk beds were short, with not much height between the top and bottom bunk. Fortunately my adult daughter is 5.2. The mattresses, particularly on the bunk beds, were quite uncomfortable and the pillows very flat.

    The view, ease of parking, the warmth and the kitchen and bathroom facilities. The property was clean and the hosts accommodating re arrival time. The free round of golf was a pleasure and we also enjoyed a meal in the Wheal Dream restaurant close by.

    All good but could be improved with the addition of a gate to the rear garden for pet safety. This was a smaller lodge but nonetheless a mole size for us, a couple with our two small dogs.

    Great location; beautiful views and easy access to all the popular places; lovely walks with our dogs too. Attentive service and good restaurant on site. We would certainly recommend.

    Beautiful view from the property, located close to nearby attractions such as the Seal Sanctuary, Lizard Point & Kynance Cove. Instructions for check-in were very clear and the whole process was hassle free. The lodge was very cosy and homely, with everything we needed to make our stay complete. Would definitely return for a longer stay & to enjoy the golf facilities.

    It was a bit small for a family of 4 staying for two weeks but would have been perfect for a shorter stay.

    We liked the location on the golf club with a lovely view from our logde. It was quiet and not too far from nice beaches like Praa Sands and Portleven. Thank you for providing the racks for the clothes as there is no other storage and we would have really struggled without them.

    The only improvement I can suggest is the quality of beds. These can be better (something like Premier-inn quality, so guests can sleep better). Having said that, I will happily book again if travelling to this side of the country.

    Scenic location and total privacy. The rooms were clean though slightly small, but this was not an issue as we were out the while day and came back to the room only to the night sleep. It was conveniently located to explore the far ends of Cornwall such as St Michael's mount, Lizard point, Kynance cove, Flambards theme park etc. There are large Tesco and Sainsbury just 5 mins drive away.

    The decking outside the entrance of the lodge extremely slippery as I had a bad fall. I landed on my side to which I hurt my ribs. I wanted to bring this attention to prevent anyone else hurting themselves.

    Location was great. Views were lovely
