Upon arrival, I was shocked by the lack of cleanliness throughout the property. It was immediately apparent that the lodge had not been properly cleaned prior to our arrival. Specific issues included:- A wet, foul-smelling bath mat - Stained and musty towels - Thick dust on the cooker hood and vents cakes in grease.- Thick dust on Skirting boards and stairs case.- An oven that appeared not to have been cleaned for months - Dirty kitchen utensils that required washing before use - Cobwebs and spiders behind the microwave - Unhoovered areas beneath sofa cushions and rugs - Radiator vents coated in dust - Floors so dirty they left our feet black, despite being asked to remove shoesThe only aspect that seemed to have been refreshed was the bedding. Overall, the state of the lodge was unacceptable and far below the standards one would expect, especially given the otherwise well-maintained park facilities and good location.

The lodge was an ideal location for us to travel around Cornwall. The site is nice and quiet.The lodge was lovely. However, there were issues with the water running hot/cold when we wanted a shower, which made it more difficult for a family of 7.
