The cleanliness was 100% perfect and great attention to detail. The garden/ hot tub area was private. The owners were available via text when we needed to ask questions. We will definitely be returning in the future and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in a luxury lodge
Carol
Loved the house and the hot tub. The dogs loved their stay too. Loved the swimming pool. Newquay and Padstow only a few miles away. Beautiful beaches. Excellent family holiday. Highly recommend.
Stephanie
The property was very spacious, clean, comfortable and well positioned within the resort. It had absolutely everything we could ever need for a week away and the complimentary welcome pack was a lovely touch. As we visited out of season, some of the resort facilities were not yet open but we made use of everything that was, including the Flowrider which the kids loved! Within easy reach of both coastlines we were never short of new places to visit but it was lovely to have a home from home to come back to after a long day and the (very private) hot tub was an added bonus!
