  My wife an I stayed at the property for the last week in October half term 2024.

  We chose to book the Friday to Friday because the price difference like everything goes up by alot for half term, the Saturday to Saturday was going to cost alot more. We arrived on Saturday morning, we had no choice but to loose a day already because of work commitments. We were a little disappointed, we had our towels changed because the ones already in the property had old make up stains on them. Every single blind covering windows had damaged shutters on. There was marks all up some of the walls like someone had dragged a suitcase across it. But most of the walls in the property had marks or scratches on them. Make up hand prints on the walls in the bathroom. The floor was a state, all round the edging of the laminate/tiled style flooring in kitchen that went into the bathroom was all chipped and worn away. Inside the draw under the wash basin in the bathroom looked liked it had something burned/spilt into it. The coffee table in the sitting room had horrible black marks all over it, and what looked like chunks of wood chipped out of it. The ceiling light hanging down in the sitting room looked like it was hanging off. Not all lights for the outside porch area were working. The fencing on the decking behind the hot tub had broken slats hanging down. Plant pots with weeds growing in them which just made it all look really run down. However, we didn't allow it to effect our holiday, and we can't fault the staff, we made the ladies on reception aware straight away because the last thing we wanted was to receive an email to pay a house keeping charge after the holiday, and luckily we did as they made us aware that they were ONLY aware of ONE blind being damaged. But the ladies were really lovely and understanding, they took note of everything we had mentioned. The area itself where the lodge is was lovely, very quiet and secluded. But the big question, would we stay there again? And a simple answer would be no :( and it's such a shame because in the pictures it looked amazing. We just feel that for the money that we paid, it just wasn't worth it. If we had paid for the Saturday to Saturday, I think it would of been more upsetting for us because of the extra amount of money wanted for that week.

  Perfect peaceful location.

  St Breward provided a super base away from the hustle n bustle but in the centre of all the things we wanted to do(1/2 hr to Padstow-camel trail and sea safari we got to see dolphins n kinky whale breath taking/Tintagel- searching King Arthur and coast walk to Boscastle spectacular/Port Isaac-Sea food fresh from the sea n Doc Martin's house /Bodmin Jail- Crime n punishment old style). We were given fabulous friendly welcome right from the moment we arrived we felt it was a home from home. We didn't want to be on a huge site and with just a couple of rental units it was ideal our neighbours were friendly and so the shared use of hot tub worked well we were there different times. We had the top lake to ourselves which was one reason for our choice Learning SUP so it was sheltered, safe and secluded. The Buzzards we're flying above and there cry could be heard before you saw them birds were skimming the lake for insects, there were lots of damsel flies and carp in the lake who were curious what we were up to. We booked late and although the outside isn't picture box cottage, I think the inside was perfect well decorated clean, warm and so well stocked with games, books binoculars I find it hard to think of anything else that would make it more perfect. Our local for the week 'The Old Inn' gave us the perfect traditional pub feel we ate here three nights because it was so welcoming, the food was very tasty ie Lamb shanks(super tasty), Steak(tender n well cooked), steak n Ale pie(well filled) and Mussels (great portion). All were all great it was hard to choose washed down beith a tasty Rattler. At the end of our stay we didn't want to leave and we will be going again I don't think a week was long enough.

  Tressa was set in a beautiful quarry and the surroundings were extremely peaceful and made for a lovely holiday.

  The lodge itself was fantastic but let down by the most uncomfortable mattress in the ensuite bedroom. The mattress was very old and tired so I thick foam mattress topper had been put on top which was boiling hot and you rolled around like you’re on a marshmallow. My daughter was so uncomfortable she slept on the sofa for four of the nights. The mattress in the other bedroom was perfect thankfully as my mother has a terrible back and neck condition. The quarry behind our lodge was lovely to swim in. However the ladder installed to get down into the water rather than having to grab handles only had one which was not fixed securely and the space between the treads was very far apart and because you were holding your hands together in front of you when I tried to get in the quarry there was too much space between the treads and I fell very badly injuring my elbow arm and leg. I think a proper ladder with grab handles either side would be far more stable as had my daughter not been with me I would not have been able to get out. All this said if the ladder was changed swimming was an absolute dream in the quarry. I hope the mattress gets replaced had it not been for the lack of sleep I would without question book to return to Tressa as it was the most relaxing place to be. The most important thing with any holiday is getting a good. Night sleep and having a lovely hot shower. It always amazes me when people do not invest in decent mattresses. Please sort them out as we would all love to return

  This place is truly amazing.

  When you see all the reviews about how well equipped is, it really is. Everything that you could ever need. The place is comfy, clean and the cream tea (including the home made Jam) that was waiting for us, was also wonderful. We cooked in most nights and it was very easy. Lots of herbs and spices left there. The lakes are just something else. We came with two boys and a dog and the lower Lake was easier to be use as its a gradual walk in. Unlike the higher lake that you enter by a ladder which is a little harder, however the higher one is very quiet and secluded with a lovely wooden seat to sit and look out. I swam everyday... it was certainly fresh but amazing once you were in. The hot tub over looking the lower lake was also very welcome after a swim. We walked the dog the mile to the local pub every evening. The walk takes you up alongside the river which is lovely. The pub was great and we were met by really lovely locals. We didn't eat there, but heard only great things. We will defo be back. Thank you again Kirsty for your great and very quick communication. Liz x

  We managed to book this beautiful lodge very last minute and we were so pleased with our stay!

  The location, the comfort and cleanliness was 10/10. It was a very smooth booking and check in/ check out. We felt really safe and relaxed throughout our stay. We were spoilt for choice between the hot tub outside as well as the bath tub indoors which included hot tub features! The TV system both in the bedroom and living area was very convenient too. WIFI was not a problem at all and we were able to use Netflix. The interior overall was very stylish although there was some cracks and stains on some of the flooring/ furniture as well as one of the blinds not working, this wasn’t a major issue. You are given a small amount of necessities to cover however many nights you are there but some things that you might want to take with you is washing up liquid, hand wash, kitchen tissue rolls, extra tea bags, sugar, bin bags. We would definitely recommend this for anyone looking to get away for a relaxing break. Thank you!
