  The house has such great potential, however we had several issues during our stay, and some positives too.

  1) The dishwasher was broken, we were told when we arrived - as 3 families (11 people) this wasn't ideal, it was a lot of extra time washing dishes on a supposed luxury break, I know these things can't be helped, but it was not replaced until literally the morning we left (the irony!) this could have been resolved much sooner. 2) The hot tub was freezing cold for the first 24 hours, we were told it was due to it being 'cleaned' yet no other lodge we have stayed at had this problem, it was also never inspected for the entire week we were there, other lodges have someone come every morning to check the ph levels etc, which may have caused our illness (see further down). 3) The house was not cleaned to a satisfactory standard, firstly, let me say the main cleaner was absolutely wonderful, a lovely lady who tried her best, but that property is too much for one cleaner, you need a couple of cleaners to really properly clean it, the wooden floor was dirty, the sofa had a musty smell (why fabric sofa's in a lodge? Surely get leather easier to clean!) Positives; 1) The tennis court is brilliant, as are the swings/play area for the kids, clean and just a really good area, fresh air, no need for video game consoles! 2) The staff on site, particularly the main cleaner, and the lady in the main office who kept informing us of the dishwasher situation, she also sent the cleaner to clean the lodge when we mentioned the issue. 3) 2 Bottles of wine on arrival, very nice touch, and very nice wine. 4) Beds were comfortable, showers were powerful, rooms were huge. Unfortunately, out of 11 of us, 9 of us were sick during and following the stay, the children from the early part of the stay, later moving on to the adults - whilst we can't exactly pinpoint what caused it, we have our suspicions it was related to the hot tub cleanliness. When all is said and done, would we go back there? Probably not.

  House was very clean and well equipped.

  We went away with our children and grandchildren so there were 10 of us. The bedrooms we’re comfortable and spacious (4 with en suite). The lounge area didn’t have enough sofas for 10 people and meant some had to use the large footstool and dining chairs which weren’t ideal. The house is close to Dartmouth and has lovely views from 2 of the bedrooms. We were told the pool and children’s play area was out of use due to COVID situation but on arrival it was clear the children’s playground was out of use due to the building works being undertaken so that wasn’t so good. The hot tub had constant warm water that was cleaned daily. Tennis court was good and readily available for use. The house has a small decking area and no garden which we didn’t realise so that made it difficult for the grandchildren to run around freely. Would have been a nice touch for a small shop to get early morning milk, bread & eggs etc, but local supermarket a short drive away. House is well situated for a quiet peaceful holiday or short drive will take you to local towns, beaches and places of interest.

  Absolutely gorgeous house, I hired the house for myself, husband and 9 friends to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday together. The house is tastefully decorated with different themes in each room, Considering there were 11 adults we never felt crammed in and could all sit comfortably around the dining table, that we wish we could have in our own home, Our friends loved all the furniture and joked that I would have to frisk them to ensure they hadn’t accidentally on purpose popped it in their case. Angela the owner was there to meet us when we arrived and gave us the key and was available with any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this house as a perfect place to stay for a large group of people in very opulent surroundings that is right in the centre of town so great for eating and drinking but also so close to some beautiful places to visit like the Greyfriars Trail and the historic golf club. Thank you once again Angela , we all loved every second

  Overall we were very pleased with the property.

  Excellent location, beautiful house. Very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped. A really good welcome pack. There were just a few issues mainly regarding the showers/bathrooms. One shower stopped working after a few minutes, another ran at a trickle and the water took 5 minutes to warm up, another shower not very powerful. Also, shower trays would have been useful. The basement bathroom had 2 notices advising to use the extractor fan, but I couldn't find a switch. We could only get the small oven to work. The keysafe was open when we arrived, with the access number already showing, the house alarm wasn't switched on. One more little niggle was having to strip the beds prior to departure, especially as we had to be out of the property by 10 o'clock. But overall a very pleasant stay.

  Beautiful house in a great location in Cadgwith.

  The solid stone built house has been renovated and decorated to a very high standard. A lot of thought and effort has gone into making every room unique and lovely. It is also in a good central location in the village with excellent views but doesn't feel overlooked. There is lots of outdoor space and a large garden area ideal for kids to play games (quite rare in this village which is otherwise generally quite squeezed in). There is plenty of room for a big group with en-suite bathrooms for most bedrooms. The owners were very helpful and responsive. They also left us a wonderful welcome basket of fresh local food from the farm shop.. far exceeded anything we have ever had in any other rental. We have stayed in lots of holiday houses and ths is certainly one of (if not the) best...
