What our customers say about their holidays

  First glances, the property was lovely - just as it was portrayed.

  However, things started to go wrong almost immediately. I tried both contact numbers given to me as I had an issue with not being able to use the 'smart' TVs - the first number was unavailable, and I left a voicemail on the second number (Malcolm or Matthew?), requesting a call back, which I never got. So, for the whole holiday, we were only able to use the TVs as normal, terrestrial sets. Not a major thing, but the fact that no-one could be bothered to ring us back got me quite angry - and that's when the other faults started to raise their head (remember, one returned call would have sorted all of these issues). Below is a list, in no particular order: We were unable to use the gas hob – the safety lock had been engaged, but the knob to release it was broken off (it looked like this had been gone for some time, and that various attempts had been made to glue something to do it) – so, oven cooking only. There was an unpleasant smell in the property; on the day we arrived, a plumber gained access to replace something in the upstairs toilet, as he said the smell had been reported previously – this obviously didn’t fix it. Bird Poo – I know this is a major issue in the park, due to House Martins nesting in the eaves of the properties; however, I didn’t expect to have to ‘jump’ over the doorstep because it was covered in this stuff – there was nothing available to clean it with – I didn’t pay the sort of money charged, just to have to clean poo away every day, anyway. Finally, there was the outside décor; this property did not look like it had been painted for a while, and there was a lot of peeling paint. Also, there were broken boards on the panel at the front – one ripped off and lying on the ground, and 2 or 3 others hanging off.

  Palm Lodge is in a lovely location and has the potential to be really something.

  However, the lodge has now reached the stage of needing some TLC and renovation. It was very damp even when using the dehumidifier provided. The bedroom and bathroom doors were sticking and unable to close properly. Several of the windows were difficult to open and close due to the affects of the skin of the structure being damp. Even our clothes in the bedroom drawers and wardrobe were feeling damp after a couple of days. There was mildew on the shower head and in the grooves of the shower doors and walls. The bathroom is in desperate need of a regular size sink with proper running hot and cold water (no timer tap for cold / no small side boiler for hot - this gave lukewarm water at best and sometimes there was no pressure and nothing came out - not good when you're wanting to wash your hands after having been to the toilet particularly) Fridge needs looking at - didn't feel like it was holding the temperature and we lost freshly bought food and milk within a couple of days. Lounge area ceiling is in need of repair - looked like it had had a previous leak and with the rain we had we were constantly worried that this was going to happen again with a very obvious visible split in the ceiling. Unfortunately we came away feeling very disappointed and that we'd paid way too much.

  This property was great.

  Two couples one with mobility problems. So the downstairs bedroom and bathroom worked well. We also took our young springer spaniel and he was settled too. All Was Very clean, kitchen well stocked with most things you need for cooking. Sitting area downstairs good for daytime, upstairs used during the evening. We found the location enabled us to access local attractions on both coasts. A lovely relaxing break. We were very lucky with the too which helped! It would be helpful to have local information available, away resorts didn't give us their pack, but we collected one and left it behind, also a visitors book were recommendations could be left would be good. We loved birds of prey, which was just a few miles away. We had a lovely visit to Padstow Trerice national trust property was great, fabulous afternoon tea offer! Watergate beach was beautiful. We had a drink at the beach hut the food looked and smelt amazing, but booking is essential! St Austell as a place to visit us is rubbish but the beaches along that coast are beautiful we are told!

  My wife and I have just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday staying at Palm Lodge.

  Praa sands 14/8/20-21/8/20. Firstly we want to say a big thank you to Andrea for making our stay just perfect, what a lovely welcome a bottle of bucks fizz , scones jam and clotted cornish cream, cornish biscuits and a vase of flowers. Palm lodge surpassed our expectations it has every thing you could've possibly wanted. It's spacious comfortable well equipped kitchen immaculately clean throughout and even has a BBQ and sun loungers on the decking. It was such a wonderful relief to finally get away after months of lockdown and to have a bit of normality in our lives. And palm lodge was just what we needed It is a ideal place to stay for a couple. and is close to the beach and perfect base to explore Cornwalls beautiful beaches quaint fishing villages We highly recommend palm lodge and will certainly be returning again ourselves in the near future.

  We stayed at this property for 5 nights and it was a lovely stay, the place is well equipped and has a nice holiday feel to it.

  One thing that surprised me was how private it was. We had minimal face to face contact with the owner, but kept in contact by text throughout our stay and he was lovely and very helpful, he even notified us that the cleaner was due a few days after our departure and so allowed us to check out a bit later on the day, allowing the whole morning on the beach! The walk to and from the beach is very manageable, and there's a good amount of shops nearby, there's a handy Co Op just 5 minutes down the road. Everything was just very easy on this holiday, and there was nothing we felt the place was missing. Would definitely recommend and would happily stay there again!
