  Only downside it was a bit of a pain transporting the luggage down to the lodge.

  As it was down a gravel path of about a 100 meters. Luckily we had taken a collapsible trolley truck but still has to make 3 trips on arrival and departure. The complex has electric golf type trollies outside reception but presumably for booking made through Whitesand bay holiday park. Ours was privitaley owned but we were offered there luggage trolleys. The view from the Lodge patio deck was amazing looking over Plymouth sound and rolling hills. The only sounds we could hear came from sheep on the hillside, birds and the wind. It was quite breezy for all of our 5 night stay. But welcoming in the hot sunshine. We could not fault the lodge as it had everything one needed for a home away holiday. The owner catered for a pleasant stay with milk tea and coffee in the fridge and cupboards. The park facilities were good with a pub and restaurant. Although as it was early session the pub and restaurant closed at 20:30 during the week. We enjoyed a plentiful lovely Sunday lunch on the patio outside the restaurant. There was a pool opposite but didn't use on this occasion. There wasn't a shop on the park but don't know if there is one in high season. The nearest shop was a few miles away in Millbrook down narrow precarious country lanes. The nearest major supermarket was Sainsbury's in Torpoint about a 20 minute drive also down narrow lanes until you reached wider B roads. I did a major shop there the day after our arrival. So we had enough supplies for a few days. After a day out to Perrenporth we topped up at Tesco Extra in nearby Plymouth. We came back to Cornwall on the Torpoint ferry, not to be missed. There are some wonderful places to visit nearby like Cawsand and Kingsand villages next to each other with charming streets houses an little sandy bays. A visit to Mount Edgcumbe House and gardens is highly recommended. A walk down through the park takes you down to the shores of Plymouth Sound where you can watch the boats and ships sail in and out. Pont Avon departed to Santander while I was there. There's also a foot ferry from there across to Plymouth. An enchanting pub to the left of the lower entrance gates. I can't wait to go back to the lodge to explore beautiful Cornwall Futher!

  We had a wonderful stay at Ducks Ditty.

  I had my three children who are 11, 18 & 20 with me and of course our three year old Cocker Spaniel. I was amazed at how clean it was and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I took some fans as it has been so hot so that was handy on the hottest day. The grounds are maintained beautifully and everyone was comfortable. It was a great place to visit some of the sights in Cornwall from and very dog friendly. But be warned it is quite secluded so if you are after the more commercial sights, you will need to navigate the winding Cornish roads. However, if you want more secluded, slower pace where you can explore with the dog, then this is perfect. There is a recommendation of a nice walk with a pub that is dog friendly in the visitors book and we all said we would definitely return to take our beloved pooch there. I would highly recommend booking this place, the owners maintain it so well and there are lovely little personalised touches such as hand made biscuits on arrival and individually personalised cottages, bags with blankets, towels and bowls for the dog. It was simply a very pleasant stay. Thank you so much, we would love to return one day. We have some lovely memories of our time as a family there, the kids were able to get their Wi-Fi working, I was unable to but I didn’t mind, it was a welcome break for me. It was so nice to get them all off their devices and get outside in nature and we all thoroughly enjoyed taking a break from our busy lives.

  The cottage was well cared for and very clean and we has a lovely week.

  It was great have a smart TV and homes at the property. We did find the double bed very hard and a mattress topper would have helped, black out blinds or curtains were needed as it was very bright from 4am. Larger towels or at least listing no bath towels included. I would have been good if the information booklet could do with an overhaul the local beaches, supermarkets etc were just listed with a name and postcode, distance and facilities would have been helpful. The biggest issue us were the directions given on the email 'easy to find by sat nav' was jus other good enough. We arrived late at night in the pitch black, there was no street lighting and bo lights on the entrance to the holiday park, there was a small sign only and the entrance looks like a drive to a house, so we missed it and ended up round the other side opposite the manor where there was a huge sign however could not get through to the holiday lets and bo information how to get there. This could have been avoided with a bit more information on the emailed directions. We did have a lovely time and these things would just make it that bit better

  Lodge 23 at whitsand Bay Fort, immaculately presented with fantastic views, There are some nice little touches such as milk, tea, coffee and sugar on arrival.

  We took our dog and relieved that the veranda is totally enclosed and gated at each end so he could 'potter’ around safely. Very Impressed with amount of storage in all areas of the property, (small thing -could do with more clothes hangers) Bedrooms felt warm at night, even though the outside temperature was 14° so a fan would be welcome particularly on the very warm summer nights. Contact with Lodge owner has been great, they emailed us a map of the site and have answered any questions we had swiftly. The site facilities are very good, though the swimming pool was closed for refurbishment on our visit. Restaurant is very good, with reasonably priced food, all the staff were very friendly. The site cafe great for a good cooked breakfast. Car parking, you get one allocated space, any additional car is charged at £10 a day, which I felt was excessive, you can park free on the road but space looked limited. I would certainly recommend Lodge 23 as a lovely place to stay, we’ll certainly stay there again.

  The lodge was amazing.

  The views were stunning. We would love to go back again. The only bit of downside to it was even though we could not park our car outside the lodge which we accepted , what we didn’t know is it we had to carry all our luggage etc from the car park down to the lodge which is quite a hike unfortunately the owners of the site seem to have a bit of an attitude towards privately owned lodges as they had Electric vehicles which they could’ve taken our luggage down, but it was a no , also, if you come in 2 cars you have to pay an extra £35 a week . I’m sorry owners, but I think you need to pay a bit of tension on the crockery as we found the dishes was still dirty. No doubt not cleaned properly from dishwasher also had to retrieve items from under the settee could do with being hoovered. We are looking forward to going back again because we had such a great time , don’t be put off by what I’ve just said as it’s only really trivial, but I felt as though I should mention it ,happy holidays .
