  We found the booking process was straight forward and without problems.

  We arrived at 15:45H ready to take over the propery at 16:00H, unfortunatley only at 15:50H did the clearers desended upon the property and told us they would be ready around 16:20H which they were. So a bit late but ok, can happen. The Property itself was clean, although for a "luxury" property it did look tatty in places. Examples, the couch was shot. No comfort at all, totally sat through and without any support. Urgently needs replacing. Paintwork inside in places tatty and flaked off, repair work on wall above sink not finished. The 1st time we filled the indoor whirlpool and switched on the pumps we were greeted by black slimey stuff coming out of the jets. So after letting it run for an hour, emptying and re filling twice it seemed we had solved this problem. Very strange and a pain was the fact that there were only 4 of everything. 4 plates, 4 bowls, 4 knives, forks, spoons, and a total lack of kitchen accessories. And only 1 oven glove ??? @Sykes.. Have you ever tried to remove a hot heavy oven tray/Dish with only 1 oven glove? Is is a no go! There was a dishwasher which we never got around to using, then due to the lack of everything we had to wash everything up in the sink straight away. Very annoying was that on arrival the Wifi was offline and the Provider needed 5 days to get it fixed. Not the fault of Sykes but none the less for me who needed the wifi for work a real problem. If the above issues were sorted before our coming then our stay would have been a 8 or 9 out of 10. The region itself is lovely and well worth a visit.

  We had a wonderful stay at Ducks Ditty.

  I had my three children who are 11, 18 & 20 with me and of course our three year old Cocker Spaniel. I was amazed at how clean it was and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I took some fans as it has been so hot so that was handy on the hottest day. The grounds are maintained beautifully and everyone was comfortable. It was a great place to visit some of the sights in Cornwall from and very dog friendly. But be warned it is quite secluded so if you are after the more commercial sights, you will need to navigate the winding Cornish roads. However, if you want more secluded, slower pace where you can explore with the dog, then this is perfect. There is a recommendation of a nice walk with a pub that is dog friendly in the visitors book and we all said we would definitely return to take our beloved pooch there. I would highly recommend booking this place, the owners maintain it so well and there are lovely little personalised touches such as hand made biscuits on arrival and individually personalised cottages, bags with blankets, towels and bowls for the dog. It was simply a very pleasant stay. Thank you so much, we would love to return one day. We have some lovely memories of our time as a family there, the kids were able to get their Wi-Fi working, I was unable to but I didn’t mind, it was a welcome break for me. It was so nice to get them all off their devices and get outside in nature and we all thoroughly enjoyed taking a break from our busy lives.

  Me and my girlfriend adored our 4 night stay at 19 Meadow Retreat, celebrating our 6 years of being together.

  We couldn't of asked for a more perfect place to stay in Cornwall, with it being close to many wonders such as: Eden Project, Looe, Plymouth, Bodmin etc. Conveniently there is a Morrisons only a 6 minute drive away in Liskeard, so we could stock up our fridge with ease. The facilities within the lodge are amazing, with notable mentions of the Cinema room. A large flat-screen TV with a surround sound system is great to watch movies on and play games. The jacuzzi, shower and sauna being located within the bedroom is convenient as-well. The morning views over Liskeard is worth every penny. The reason for rating only 4 stars though is there is a couple problems with the lodge: - The jets for the jacuzzi turn on randomly, so had to turn off by the fuse at night to avoid a scare! - The underfloor heating system is confusing (4 thermostats on the wall in total) and I never noticed a difference with how much I played with it. - The bedroom radiator is extremely loud (possibly trapped air) and needs repairing as had to keep the thermostat off so it doesnt activate. - The towel rack next to the jacuzzi doesnt work at all, only the one in the toilet. - Two single beds put together is not nice, kept falling through the middle. But besides them couple points, it was an amazing experience and I would stay here again if these problems are rectified. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

  Enjoyed our stay here, the site was so peaceful & quiet.

  The bungalow itself was nicely decorated although we didn’t spend much time in it during the day, we only stayed in it in the evenings. Upon arrival it looked spotless, although there were white cat hairs on the sofa & I'm allergic so had to get some antihistamines, I explained this to the owner when we left & said he would have a word with the cleaner. There was also a used bin liner in the food caddy & as we didn’t cook anything in there until the day before we left we didn’t notice it. Despite this we’ve had a lovely 2 weeks & would definitely book again in the future. It’s idyllic & I couldn’t have had a better holiday if I tried, my dog also enjoyed his holiday. It said there was a dishwasher but I never saw one & as we ate out during the day there were only breakfast pots & cups to wash anyway so did them by hand. If you like a quiet, peaceful holiday I would definitely recommend staying here & the weather made it even more enjoyable. I’d say it’s not a site if you have children as there’s nothing to keep them occupied, it’s more suited to over 50’s when the kids have left home & you want peace & quiet, this site gives you that without a doubt. We’re so looking forward to coming back in the future

  I usually stay at 9MR, so this was first time in the property but not first time at Southern halt.

  As with 9MR the property is well maintained and has all the right features for a relaxing break, with the added bonus of a balcony overseeing the adjacent Fields. Southern halt is a great place to stay if you have a car as you can really get about exploring all the wonderful parts of Cornwall. The only things I'd mention for 19MR that are mentioned in other reviews is the spa bathroom and bedroom is all one room so I can imagine in the summer you will rise early as the skylight brings in the new day (wasn't an issue during my stay as coming to the end of October it's still dark at 8am!) and privacy is harder to come by in the kitchen living room due to the front door being open glass, but to be honest it's not like people will be walking by peering in at all times as I'm sure they will be enjoying their own properties. I would say if you are looking to enjoy some cinema room time then the TVs could probably do with updating, they are older smart TVs (both front room and cinema room) so you are only able to get Netlix and Prime, (no Disney, apple etc.) All in all another great stay at Southern halt, will be back again.
