Guests have had a very positive experience at 7 Faraway Fields, praising its relaxing atmosphere, cleanliness, and the hot tub feature. The lodge is appreciated for its size, secure site, and beautiful location. Staff are noted for their attentiveness and friendliness. Some minor issues were mentioned, but overall, guests are keen to return and recommend the property.
The lodge generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it lovely and clean upon arrival. However, there were isolated incidents of dog hair on the sofa, a clump of hair in the shower, and some dust, which slightly affected the score.
The location is highly praised for being beautiful, quiet, and secluded, yet conveniently close to amenities and various towns. There was a single mention of an occasional foul smell from a nearby stream, but this seems to be an infrequent issue.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with the lodge described as cosy and the hot tub adding to the relaxation. However, some guests mentioned a lack of air conditioning during a heatwave, a bed that was too short for taller individuals, and a lack of comfort in the lodge's furnishings, which impacts the score.
Facilities are mostly appreciated, especially the well-stocked kitchen for self-catering and the maintenance of the hot tub. Points were deducted for minor maintenance issues like a non-locking bathroom, a partially working toaster, and a heated towel rail that couldn't be turned off.
While guests have mentioned a welcome pack and the staff's attentiveness, there is insufficient information to determine if thoughtfulness in terms of gifts is a consistent practice, so this score cannot be accurately provided.
7 Faraway Fields is nestled a short distance away from the charming village of Dobwalls and found on the slopes of the Bodmin Moor. This spacious holiday accommodation has been designed for a family in pursuit of a special getaway, allowing you to explore Cornwall’s finest coast and countryside.

In addition to being close to the market town of Liskeard, the Bodmin Moor's slopes, and the stunning north and south Cornish beaches, the rural community of Dobwalls is surrounded by open fields and forested countryside. With the charming fishing harbours of Looe, Fowey, and Polperro only 15 miles away to the south and Padstow and the surfing beach at Polzeath just a short drive away on the North Coast, this is the ideal starting point for discovering everything that the area has to offer.

The Southern Halt site is beautiful. The lodge was beautifully located, not overlooked at all. Great layout and plenty of room for a family of 5. We enjoyed using the hot tub and the decking area on a daily basis. It was honestly so lovely to enjoy some peace and quiet. Even our 3 children commented on how nice it was to only hear the sounds of nature. We will be coming back again.
