  I read another item of feedback on this property a couple of weeks ago from Wayne and have to say our experience was totally the opposite!

  We were welcomed in the property by a lovely welcome pack. The property was warm and welcoming and very clean. Our dogs were able to have the run of the garden as the fence (about 3 feet high) is secure The ground floor is open plan (as per the pictures) and has a log burner which was very welcome each night. There is a shower room with toilet and sink on the ground floor too. The kitchen is well appointed with a great fridge and plenty of pans and utensils. The piano needs a tune and a bit of work so my attempts at Bach may have had him turning in his grave! (That’s my excuse). Upstairs are three good bedrooms and a bathroom. All very well decorated and proportioned. There is a beam across the main bedroom which you have to remember is there at 3 in the morning - it hurts to walk into it! There is ample hanging space and plenty of drawers in each bedroom. Outside the hot tub was great to have and we used it regularly. I hope you have a great break there. We will go back as we love the area-there is so much around - the best being St Michaels Mount just over a mile away. I’d suggest driving as it is along a busy road with no footpath. There is also a beach about 20 minutes’ walk away at Perranuthnoe which is lovely. The village has two pubs, both 200 yards away, a village shop 400 yards away (and stocks plenty of everyday essentials) and a post office. Plus plenty of takeaways and restaurants if you are so inclined. The owner, Juliet, was great to deal with. Thank you for a great week!

  Huge thank you to Juliet who provides such wonderful holiday accommodation in such a beautiful Cornish location.

  'Home from Home' experience with a bottle of fizz waiting for us upon arrival and the hot tub warmed ready to 36 degrees ready for us to jump in! Gated garden was wonderful for all of us including our Cockapoo! Only a 15 minute walk to the nearest dog beach - Beautiful Perranuthnoe (summer months dog restricted hours to before 10am and after 6pm) and to join the South West Coastal Path. Dog owners can take a short 2 mile drive to Long Rock near Penzance to enjoy an all round very long dog beach! Very well equipped kitchen! Kids loved the American style fridge freezer with cold water dispenser. I loved the kitchen being central in the house so I didn't feel 'shut off' whilst cooking breakfast and dinner. Beds super comfy in ALL the rooms! Very friendly Cornish village - even got invited into someone's house whilst walking pooch and promised a meal if I come back next year! A great base for exploring the westerly side of Cornwall. We found loads to see and explore everyday day, including the old tin mines at Botallock where Poldark was filmed, the Minack Theatre, St Michaels Mount, Mousehole, St Ives, Sennen Cove, Lands End and Penzance! Would thoroughly recommend Roncon's Villa and hope to return!

  Borah Lodge was absolutely wonderful.

  Everything we wanted and needed! The lodge is set on a working farm, is tucked away in the corner and feels private. It’s exactly as described and was cosy and warm. On arrival, the lodge was extremely clean and tidy. There was scones, jam and cream waiting for us and they were delicious! Harvey and coco, the farm spaniels are so sweet and friendly, we loved having them around to visit us! The hot tub is so relaxing and was much needed after a long day walking across the coastal paths. The lodge is situated in the best place possible for exploring south Cornwall. Mousehole and Penzance are about 15 mins away and Newlyn is a 5/10 min drive. It’s the best place for fish and chips! St Ives is about 30 mins away and the amazing Kynance Cove and Lizard point is an hour away but well worth the drive. If you have a dog, Porth Kidney is the best beach around Highly recommend the Lake Side Cabin Cafe in Lelant for cream tea. The biggest and best cream tea and cakes we have ever had!! Overall, great location, relaxing, clean, tidy and exactly what we needed. Thank you!

  We had a lovely time at Borah Lodge.

  The hosts were there if we needed them but left us to our own devices. The lodge itself is everything we expected and more. The bed was the most comfortable we’ve ever experienced away from home, the lodge was beautifully warm, the hot tub awesome as it is undercover so when it rained we could still use it. We were met with fresh scones, jam, cream, tea, coffee, sugar and milk which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. When booking this lodge I did have reservations about the two chairs in the front room instead of a sofa as my husband and I like to cuddle up when watching TV. We needn’t have worried as the chairs were very comfortable and when pushed together we still felt close. Tv in the front room and bedroom were a good size and we moved the DVD player from front room to the bedroom when needed. Only draw back is that most things are a good 40 mins to hour drive away but we knew that when we booked. Fantastic lodge in every way!

  Unfortunately there was a serious leak under the kitchen sink caused by a burst expansion chamber which meant that we had to shut the water valve off and deal with the initial emergency ourselves by disconnecting plugs which had been soaked through.

  This left us without drinking water overnight and the fridge had to be disconnected. The property owner arranged for a plumber as quickly as possible for the next day but in the meantime we had to clean up the flooded units and kitchen floor our selves in the meantime and hot water couldn’t be restored until two days later as the plumber told us he had to order in the right part first. We allowed the sockets time to dry out before reconnecting but even then we werent confident from a safety point of view. Unfortunately this did effect our experience and given what the plumber told us about the condition of the part that had blown and the hot water unit we wouldnt feel confident returning to the cottage as nice as it is in terms of location cleanliness and comfort.
