  This was our first time in Cornwall so we were really excited to stay in number 39.

  It is a really quiet, peaceful, safe place. In a great location, lots of space, clean and tidy. Fab facilities - most appliances seemed new. DVD player and dvds brilliant for the evening. Our children loved the fudge/shortbread/harribo gifts. Plenty of towels, and plenty of cleaning products too. There were some things that I felt i needed to mention: A long handle sweeping brush and a vacuum cleaner would be useful (especially the vac if pets stay) Instruction manual for warm water, shower, washer, leaving the property (what is required regarding bedding and towels), site facilities etc.. would be useful. New shower as the current one is not very powerful. Colander in the cupboard needs a good wash as it looks mouldy. One of the chairs needs fixing as one of the bars kept popping out and the table needs tightening up. The bedrooms are damp - bedding feels damp/cold every night, clothing feels damp and smells musty. We left the windows on the latch to help with condensation but nothing really worked. Wardrobes smell really musty so we couldn’t use them. Unfortunately we had to leave a night early as the dampness set off one of my children’s and husbands asthma. So we felt it best to leave early to ease the asthma cough/breathlessness. Apart from the dampness we had a lovely stay.

  The bungalow is very well equipped for holiday stays, lots of kitchen items, cleaning products and overall very comfortable and homely.

  The downfall is the bathroom, both my girls were looking forward to having soaks in the bath (only a shower at home currently), but the bath takes a considerable amount of time to fill with the hot water only lasting for approx 1 minute before this stops. We called the owner to be told this was normal and the shower was electric so to use this instead, however the shower jumped from extreme hot temperatures to freezing cold regardless of the settings used. The TV had low or poor signal the whole time, which prevented us from watching any other channel than BBC 1 without it cutting out all together or looking at a black screen every few seconds. The bungalow is a great base for families to explore Cornwall, and situated in a lovely spot for children to play on the play area, whilst always being in eyes view. With a few adjustments this would be perfect for all to enjoy. We booked for the week so the lack of shower & bath really affected our enjoyment of the bungalow.

  We could not fault 17 Valley Lodges.

  We stay in a lot of holiday homes & the owners of this one had thought of absolute everything!! It was immaculately clean & beautifully presented. The location is ideal especially for families, a 1 minute walk to the indoor pool & even less to the outdoor pool. The pub, recreation & games room again is all just a minute away. We used the football area & tennis courts - the lodge even provided tennis rackets & balls. This was not a negative for us but if you had mobility issues the site is pretty hilly & you cannot park directly outside the lodge. You are just a 30 second walk to your car on a footpath but just worth a mention. We would highly recommend it here. We have 2 boys of 6 & 8 & it was brilliant that the pool depth was a maximum of 1.1m depth. It just gave the younger one real freedom in the pool. It’s a brilliant family holiday we loved it. Thanks so much!!!

  Beautiful little chalet.

  The website says to take tea towels etc but it actually had it all there. Was very clean and surprisingly spacious. We only stayed for 2 days as we were more in the area to see family than have a holiday. Would have been nice to use the pools, but it says only available if the chalet owner has a swim membership. We couldn't find that information anywhere so assumed we couldn't use it. Also the TV has sky but it was not working, it didn't think it was connected to the Internet. The Internet was working fine as we all connected to the wifi. Anyway the vast dvd collection saved the day. The key code is given as 1970 but actually its 1980 so we were lucky to get in. Improvements, add a park map to show where it is and where to park and maybe a welcome pack. We would definitely stay here again.

  We really enjoyed our stay.

  We felt at home straight away and loved the layout of the property. We had everything we needed and the welcome treats were great (thank you). The property was clean and had lovely bedding. The 2 bathrooms were fab. It has a lovely outlook. On warm days the verandah is wonderful. The fact the membership for the swimming pool and gym is included is a real plus. We went swimming 3 times during our stay (it was very quiet at this time of year). We ate at the on site pub twice and the food was delicious! The on site shop was useful too. The train journey from Gunnislake to Plymouth was delightful with some stunning scenery. We also recommend a visit to Kit Hill and Cotehele NT both a short drive away. We look forward to another stay in the future.
