The kitchen surface top is moldy, we didn't have contsnt hot water throughout our stay, it was either only cold or hot then turning cold again. We used the jug at the end to shower. There was a bad smell in the bathroom which was rectified. I would not recommend this place and unfortunately we will not be booking this site again.

However, the property we stayed in was a great disappointment. There was mould on the bathroom walls and the shower screen was broken as well as the plug, so we were unable to have a shower without soaking the floor. The condition and state of the kitchen was far from what was advertised with wood rot or mould on the worktops, particularly around the sink where years of being soaked had gone untreated. The bed was dated and very uncomfortable, providing little support, to the point where the sofa was a preferred option for one of us. It was on the second day that we discovered the most disturbing issue the lodge suffered. When opening the dishwasher door the kick-board came away from the cupboards to reveal 4 or more rat traps and trays of poison. The floor was covered with old and fresh mouse and rat droppings. It was disgusting and very unhygienic. The fact the owners were clearly aware of a problem but were happy for customers to live and eat amongst this health hazard was concerning, especially when paying a premium for the privilege. This problem should have been addressed and not covered up at the potential cost of customers health. I believe this property is for sale which might explain the reluctance to properly maintain, but it is unforgivable to put profit above the customers well being. This thoroughly spoilt our holiday. We have of course taken photos if required on request.

It was so peaceful and quiet. The area is surrounded by trees, so it was lovely to sit on the balcony and listen to the birds. The bed and seating area were comfortable - although a couple of loungers or footstools to go with the 2 seats & table on the balcony would be an added touch. The kitchen facilities were fine for two people, but an extra tea towel would have been useful, but a minor detail. The staff we had any contact with were always helpful and polite. So we definitely recommend it for a holiday, in fact, one of our friends is now looking into it. And we would stay here again if we were visiting Cornwall.
