Shaun and Christina are amazing hosts....from being in contact before arriving, excellent communication on how to get there and even meeting us on arrival...!!!.. All week, they were so kind to us, nothing is too much trouble and looked after us like we were in the best 5 star hotel Hot tub ready on arrival, fresh bread,,jam,butter( not that we saw that thanks to our 17 year old who found it amazing) The lodge was so spacious,utterly spotless inside,top quality fittings,and even fresh flowers in the lounge!!! They've created a folder that you get with such detailed information on the local area, which helped enormously when eating out,travelling etc The patio doors open onto a large patio area with a fantastic view of the garden and pond It was perfect timing to see the butterflies bees and birds The lodge is so private,the hosts never intruded but were just wonderfully kind to us. Perfect place to get to all of Cornwall, st ives,land end,eden project but we found a gem in Portreath 2 miles away for surfing lounging and ,esp The Hub for lunch THIS will be the best lodge, by a country mile, you will ever visit.....Thank you Shaun and Christina for helping to create lifelong wonderful memories of Cornwall for our boy...

  Everything has been thought of, you can tell straight away how proud Maureen is of the gem she has created for guests to share with her.

  As the cottage is called little bear, there are bears absolutely everywhere, the cottage is extremely tastefully created with that bear touch. Maureen left us some scrumptious scones and apples and all around the cottage she left little things for if you forgot them, such as toiletries, washing aids, candles etc. The cottage is perfect if you take a furry friend both the front and back are fully contained. Maureen even left toys and treats, bowls and blankets for our dog so that she would be comfortable and have fun too.The best bit is having a huge field to use to walk the dog right outside our gate. There is just peace and quiet and all you can hear is the occasional car but all the surrounding birds and wildlife. Absolutely loved the massage chair, used it every evening after we had been walking. The back garden has the sun all day long so we were able to have a hot tub in the morning watching the sun rise and in the early evening while the sun left us and the garden twinkled all night allowing for a Christmas party feel to the end of the day. Having the dog we personally found Perranporth beech absolutely amazing and Falmouth was also a joy to walk around. We had an extremely restful and pleasurable stay. Thank you Maureen. We would love to see you again soon, when there is some availability in your fab cottage.

  Honest review.

  .. location wasn’t the best nothing really around apart from 1 pub (for local people) and a londis, closest supermarket about 20 minute drive each way. We did more driving than anything this last week nothing local that’s any good. Lodge itself. Jacuzzi was brilliant perfect for relaxing after a long drive everyday. Outside furniture seats just left out to ruin in rain which was disappointing. No bbq at the lodge, I think you had to request one from reception. No washing line of any kind to dry towels or bathing suits,(other 2 lodges do have one each) Living room/kitchen open plan good setup all modern appliances in kitchen all work as they should. Don’t expect to be able to put a lot in fridge only essentials. Comfy sofa in room and a single chair also tv with freeview reception goes quite a bit but your not there to sit and watch tv. Bedroom 1 3 quarter bed very comfortable little wardrobe and plenty drawer space. Bedroom 2 two single beds again comfy and enough storage. Shower room. Shower wouldn’t drain properly and had a leak. Toilet and basin as expected. Overall 6/10 was ok probably wouldn’t stop again as location too far from anywhere but that was my fault when booking not Sykes. Looking forward to our next holiday in Newquay with Sykes though.

  We went for a week to chill out prior to spinal surgery and that’s just what we got.

  The Lodge is really homely, spotlessly clean and very well equipped with quality items. Christina has really thought about the extra little touches, the fresh bread, butter, jam, milk and even a box of Cornish Fairings (biscuits) and a jar of sweets to welcome you after a long journey. When baking during the week Christina even gifted us a couple of tea cakes which were so tasty, The wild garden is a joy and so appropriate for the setting. We even had a deer visit one corner of the garden. The couple are extremely good hosts, there if you need them but never intrusive which was lovely, The area itself is very pretty with nice beaches nearby. A visit to the headland at Godrevy (NT) is a must and a little bit of heaven to be cherished. Most of the touristy places are also very accessible such as St Ives, Falmouth, Penzance etc. All in all we had a wonderful, restful holiday and we can highly recommend. To Christina and Shaun, thank you so much for making us so welcome and we hope to be back soon and to see the buddleia and lilac bushes in all their glory!

  Absolutely amazing.

  From start to finish, we had the best experience ever, from the initial enquiry with Sykes to the holiday at Lazy Lodge itself. The welcome from Shaun and Christina was the best we've ever had - such lovely hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and they provided a lovely welcome pack (including fresh home baked bread, baked by Shaun - thank you, delicious!). The lodge was well equipped, very comfortable and spotlessly clean, the best we've ever had in the last 20 years of staying in Cornwall. All the little extra touches were appreciated. Whilst the owners live alongside and are available to help as required, they are in no way intrusive. We had a fabulous relaxing time at Lazy Lodge - the setting is amazing surrounded by trees, the lovely pond and wildlife (whilst we were there, we saw a fox with her cubs, ducks on the pond and even spotted the local woodpecker). The location is perfect for exploring both the North and South Cornish coasts with easy access to lots of great places. Looking forward to returning very soon. Thank you both for everything.
