The facilities in the lodge are excellent, providing everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. The location is beautiful, with Roadford Lake and forest providing lovely scenery for walks with the dog. We would definitely return and would recommend staying here.

The lodge is really spacious and has everything tht is needed for a self catering holiday. It was cleaned to a good standard upon our arrival so we quickly unpacked and relaxed on the two large confortable sofas. The Roadford Lake site is beautiful, all lodges looked well maintained and the site in general was spotless. You do need a car to get about as it is in the middle of nowhere but that is why we booked it. It's only a 10 minute drive to Launceston which has both a Tesco and Lidl so everything you need to stock up. We made daily use of the Hot tub which our daughter loved. Other reviews have stated issues with the WiFi but we didn't encounter any such issues. We had a number of devices with us to use the WiFi and never had any connection issues. As a possible area of improvement I would suggest some anti bacterial spray or wipes to clean down the kitchen surfaces after preparing a meal. Also a squeegee to clean the showers screens after use would be useful but this is more of a habit from home. None of this distracted from a great holiday and we certainly plan on returning in the future. Many thanks.

If youâre wanting a relaxing break or a fun filled holiday this lodge fills both your wish list. The tranquil setting and the hot tub allows you to relax and unwind but if you fancy more then your just a short drive from the water sports on the lake to the hustle and bustle of the Cornish town of Bude and beyond. We managed to fit both a relaxing holiday and more as we visited Bude and the Eden project with their amazing zip line and even had a go at the water sports. He hot tub was frequented regularly and the cafe and walks around the lake too. Fun here for all the family! Will definitely recommend and already looking at booking again!!!!
