  Beautiful property in a beautiful area.

  Due to it being new there are a few more things that are needed to make it perfect. Coffee machine supplied but not even 2 pods there so you can see which ones goes with that machine, theres just so many at the supermarket, we just dodnt know which one goes with that machine. Not even a salt and pepper pot, the cupboards were absolutely bare. We didn't realise we needed to take everything. There was a plate with some tea, coffee sachets, sugar sachets, 2 hot chocolate sachets and a couple of biscuits. We thought they would have some local products like scones, cream and jams as a meet and greet welcome gift, in the fridge there were a few small pots of milk. Let's face it, everyone who comes to Cornwall has a long drive there and it would be nice to have something there when you arrive. Very bare minimum kitchen utensils, could do with a masher for potatoes for example, due to being out of session a lot of places in the evening are closed so we cooked at the lodge. I think if they are going to continue to rent it out during the winter some more kitchen utensils are needed. We had a problem with the heating, they did try to fix it so for 3 nights we were freezing then on the last night it was fixed but went ro the extreme and it was like a sauna. There is no thermostat to control the heat, theres a hub but not even the staff new how to work it, so maybe an easier option would be better. There is no doubt that this is a top quality lodge, it just need tweaking. It looks brand new and it is truly beautiful, but things like the towels could be bigger and better quality to suit the lodge. There is even a wine cooler and a dishwasher (tablets supplied) but no spare bin bags or dish clothes. You don't go on holiday and thunk you need to buy theses things. No pillow protectors, could do with better quality pillows to be fair. Ironing board and iron. Somewhere to hang your washing, either in or outside. We asked for a clothes stand and they gave us one without a problem, they thought the washing machine was a dryer too, if it was we couldn't work it out. Maybe some instructions if it is. No Internet up in the lodge. We used up our data because we are too far away from the signal of the camp site so a booster up there would be great. I have my own business so I need Internet and it is advertised as having Internet just not in the lodge. Bins, very small bin in the kitchen. Could do with bins outside in a enclosed container to put your rubbish in and to be able to recycle better. You have to put your waist in your car and take it down to the main bins. We are not saying we wouldn't come back due to theses small tweaks, we are saying for the price of the lodge to bring it up to standard of the price you are paying. Staff very friendly and very beautiful location.

  A True Hidden Gem My wife surprised me with a stay at the Northcott Hut in Cornwall for my 40th birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience.

  Situated on a secluded family-run farm with picturesque views of the sea, this shepherd's hut is a true hidden gem. From the moment we arrived, Andrea was the perfect host, ensuring every detail was taken care of. She even organized a balloon and a bottle of bubbles for my birthday, which was a delightful touch. The hut itself is wonderfully appointed, with all the facilities one could need. The log burner was perfect for the cooler months, creating a cozy winter retreat, while the outdoor BBQ and beautiful outdoor jacuzzi made for a perfect summer escape. The jacuzzi can be used all year round, and with the outdoor burner, evenings become even cozier as you watch the beautiful stars. Sun loungers are also provided for those sunny days. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the cosy blankets for evening outdoor seating around the log fire to the robes and premium toiletries provided. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed a BBQ with fresh fish from the local fishmongers, making the evening even more special as we watched the sunset. If you're a couple looking for a romantic getaway in Bude, look no further. The photos don’t do justice to the stunning views, especially at sunset. Northcott Hut is truly a perfect blend of comfort, seclusion, and natural beauty. Highly recommended!

  Spotlessly clean, and really comfortable stay!

  We would definitely stay again. As per the last review, there was a sea view that was not mentioned, which was a lovely surprise and that we enjoyed in evening with a glass of wine! The Lodge itself seems to have had some new additions from the pictures on the website when we originally booked. Very comfortable, the new owners have clearly spent some time and effort with new blinds, bedding etc….. bathroom has been re vamped since the last pictures which again was a nice surprise. The kitchen is very well equipped, with more than just four of everything!!! Location is great, really easy to walk into village for food, supermarket and pub. We missed the opening of the new pub on-site , but looking forward to visiting when we return. You can even get the bus into Bude. We loved Sandymouth Beach , which is less than a ten minute drive and has a lovely café overlooking the bay. It is also dog friendly all year round with no restrictions! Overall, we loved the lodge, loved the area, brilliant value for money and we will be back!

  Short concrete path leads directly from car park to the property.

  I have had back trouble in the past so really appreciated the orthopaedic mattress - so much so that I have taken its details and have ordered one for mysellf, The owners obviously take pride in providing everything a guest could wish for. Cupboards/drawers full of books, games videos etc for if weather is bad (luckily we didn’t need them). Every conceivable kitchen implement was there including Tupperware boxes to make a picnic if desired. Towels were the softest we have ever felt and smelt like summer - name of fabric conditioner please. Cottage very clean with enough cloths and comprehensive cleaning materials to clean a medium sized hotel. All we needed to bring on holiday were our clothes and toiletries- everything else was well provided for. Well located near Bude and beaches. Comfortable stay for two people using second bedroom as storage for suitcases etc. Might be a bit snug for family if four. All in all would book this dog friendly cottage in future

  A really lovely little cabin.

  My partner and I and of course my dog stayed here for a week. The cabin was really well equipped. I would say pack a oven glove no oven glove. We.used a towel. The dog said thank you for the jar of biscuits. The cabin was clean except for the shower under the slip mat had hairs so I was joined by someone's long black hair. I know it wasn't mine my partner and I are blonde. But I was impressed with the cabin and bed was very comfortable. The local pub the red lion is dog friendly the manager loves dogs it is a comfortable pub really friendly the locals welcome you in and will have a good old chat. Also fuss the dog. My advice is park the car at the back of the pub you have in the grounds. To unpack and load up because the hill from the main car park to the cabin is a killer when trying to take your stuff in. The area around is lovely. We had a really lovely week. Thank you so much.
