  Property was falsely advertised as having Wi-Fi.

  Additionally, when we got to the property, there was an eco-toilet, which was not mentioned in the advertisement – it’s standard to mention this feature, and we had ruled out other options because they had an eco-toilet. The property’s kitchen was not clean to an appropriate standard – there were crumbs across the surface, sticky rice in the chopping board and the utensils were not properly clean. I have coeliac disease, and any trace of gluten makes me violently ill, so this was a big concern for me. There were cobwebs across the property, demonstrating a lack of maintenance and cleanliness. On the day, we got contacted by Sue (the owner) to let us know the previous guest had broken the blind in the bedroom. She stated her husband was not able to fix it, but her son would come by later on to fix it – when we got to the property, it had not been fixed, which meant we had no privacy inside the hut. The other side to the privacy issue was that the property advertisement was misleading in that it used language emphasizing the privacy of the garden and hot tub, including tactical angles on the pictures, when in reality, there’s another hut right across from it, so every time you’re outside at the same time there’s essentially no privacy. The blind in the bathroom was also not working properly. This trip was meant to be a relaxing experience to enjoy my birthday, and it just turned into a nightmare. I refused to spend my birthday in such a place, and we contacted Sykes Cottages exposing all the issues encountered. They took responsibility for the false advertisement of the Wi-Fi and refunded us the booking fee - £42. They did not take responsibility for anything else and suggested we went back to the hut so the owners could attempt to make things right. We refused to go back and in hindsight my instinct was correct. I looked at reviews on Google of their campsite Pattacott Farm Glamping and Camping (where the hut is located), and there were multiple 1 star reviews alluding to police presence, knives, and domestic abuse between the owners. I wish I had checked these reviews beforehand. Funnily enough, Sue messaged me saying they had never had any issues before - if you look for those reviews, you will see it's simply not true. According to Sykes Cottages, Sue refuses to offer compensation even though we only used 1 out of 3 nights (out of necessity, otherwise we wouldn't even have stayed the 1st night), so we lost £311 for absolutely nothing.

  What can I say!

  This place is amazing. The Lodge itself is beautifully presented. It’s immaculate and extremely clean. It’s got everything you need for a break away. The owners Simon & Nicky were very good with communication by texting us details and making sure we were ok during our stay. We felt reassured knowing that we could contact them for anything (not that we needed to as all was perfect). The little touches were great. The area itself is brilliant for exploring the area. There are clifftop walks, beaches and a lovely cliff top cafe for food and refreshments. We even bought a lovely framed picture that was painted by a local artist so we can keep that special memory of our break away. We were very lucky with weather too considering the time of year. There is a bus stop a few minutes walk away where we got on the bus (only £2 each way) to go to Plymouth for the day. The bus goes to Torpoint Ferry port, then onto the ferry over to Plymouth, then to the town centre. It’s about an hour in total. So worth the money. We paid £8 for 2 adults there and back! Would have cost a lot more in a car for petrol and parking. What a bargain! Tregantle Beach and St Michael’s Chapel is a must too if you have no mobility issues. There is an on-site bar and restaurant, cafe and pool too. Would definitely go back. Thank you to Simon & Nicky for letting us stay in your beautiful lodge and everything.

  The lodge was very clean, well-maintained and well equipped - e.

  G. kitchen with many pans and dishes, fridge with freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, large table and sofas, beds with good mattresses. There is a beautiful view from the spacious terrace over the landscape, the surrounding is very quiet and beautiful. What I liked very much was that there is lots of space between the lodges to feel private. Personally I didn' t like the wirlpool too much and the noise it made from time to time, but of course many people will like it. A few seat cushions for outside would have been nice, but this is not really of importance. The whole little holiday complex where the lodge is situated is very clean and nice with friendly people at the reception and a restaurant and café. The steep coast is right on the other side of the hill (a few minutes' walk). The holiday park has an own bus stop where a bus runs regularly between Plymouth and Cawsand. It' s half an hour' s walk to Millbrook, a nice village with shops for food and a pub too, the way back takes a bit longer as it goes up quite a bit. The owners are very nice, helpful and easily to contact. So I fully recommend this lovely home to everybody who likes nature and relaxation in a quiet and beautiful environment.

  We had a lovely week at lodge 22.

  The weather was far from ideal but the hot tub was great to come home to each day. There wasn't anything we needed that wasn't in the kitchen too so we could cook properly which saves money with teenage mouths to feed. The view across to Plymouth was unexpected and fab. The nearest beach was our favourite from the week, and almost deserted thanks to the steep steps down to it. Well worth it if your knees can take it. The lifeguards were running 1 to 1 ratios with swimmers! The cafe at the cliff bottom is better described as a vending machine really, so take food! We did surf lessons there with Adventure Bay. Very fun. Cawsand and Kingsand also lovely. As was the ferry ride from Cawsand to Plymouth. Looe Bay very close by for boat trips, crabbing and a more bustling seaside option, and Eden Project less than an hour away and perfect for the Amber weather warning day !! The park restaurant was good food for our treat night out. But we didn't make use of any other facilities there. All in all, a great week, and responsive and helpful hosts. I recommended the lodge to a friend before we even left!

  The property was absolutely fantastic.

  Prior to arrival, communication about the property (directions, access etc.) and amenities was excellent. On arrival, access to the lodge was exactly as described. The lodge was exceptionally clean, and has everything and more needed for a super comfortable stay. We loved the additional touches such as some milk in the fridge, fluffy pillows and dressing gowns. The large TV with access to Netflix and Prime allowed for cosy movie nights in (when we weren’t in the hot tub of course). The hot tub was perfect, with beautiful views over the country side. There were no problems with it at all, and the hot tub elves checked it regularly to make sure it was topped up and clean. The location of the site is also fantastic, easy access to main roads and beautiful countryside walks. We visited the crows nest pub for food as per some of the recommendations, and the staff and food there was excellent! Having a list of nearby pubs emailed to us beforehand, and also in the the lodge was so helpful. We really enjoyed our stay at Faraway Fields, and can’t wait to come back!
