  Great week away with our puppy.

  Michelle (thanks), text to check we had the email information on what bed make up we would like and the door code; days before and greeted upon arrival. Electronic door lock which meant no worries on “have I got/ where are the keys”. Relaxed stay, with no issues. Only minor point as mentioned in other feedback are squeaky floor boards. Being able to park directly outside the lodge made easy to load and unload the car. Having dish washer tablets there made cleaning easy. Nice to have the decking, outdoor table and chairs; enjoy the sun and knowing the puppy couldn’t get out. There’s an area next to the lodges of grass area to walk the dog (with a few bins around the place, so we’ll thought of with those with dogs), or I particular liked walking along an old path (which leads to the main road near a Shell garage, so had to turn back) or the actual drive in and towards Kea Church (again a pretty building). For those who don’t know the area like us until we got there, it’s less than 10 minutes drive to Truro where you will find shops, supermarkets and takeaways. About 20 minutes to Falmouth and 35 minutes to where we spent most of our time, exploring the north coast line, which are very picturesque, great for kids, rock-pools, sand, waves for bodyboarding (between St Ives and Newquay) Many thanks

  The Smithy is a beautiful property in a great location call Feock which has great access by car to the far reaches of Cornwall and places we've never visited before. The property itself is easy to find and plenty of parking outside including a EV charging point which was extremely handy to charge my Volkswagen ID.7 overnight and prepared it for the next day adventures. The accommodation has everything you need including a full equipment kitchen and Neff appliances. As the nights were chilly during our stay the Hive controlled heating system was extremely useful and the wood burner was the icing on the cake. The Smithy is beautifully decorated and owner Marion's attention to details is amazing and it feels very homely. The bed was comfortable and firm and the duvet was like sleeping under a cloud. The sauna is brilliant and perfect after a long day. Bathrobes and slippers provided added to the boutique luxury feeling. Behind the property is a field and then unadulterated views of the rolling countryside and as there is little light pollution the night sky is so beautiful to see. Marion was always on hand during our stay by phone/text and you could tell that she's really cares about The Smithy and the guests experience. I highly recommend staying and will be returning as we loved it so much.

  There were a number of issues, as well as a number of recommendations.

  Issues: - Really bad smell permeating the whole lodge. Seemed to be originating from the bathrooms - Frebreeze, air freshener and scented candles couldn't shift it all week. - Storage heater the front double bedroom didn't work. - We had to clean all of the plates, glasses, cutlery, saucepans and the grill, as they were dirty. - Remnants of a McDonalds was down the side of the sofa/under the table. - The cooker had been switched off - had to reset the clock to get it to work. Recommendations: - Lamps in the lounge - the lights are too fierce to relax. - Need bins in the bedrooms - Need a colander and a tablespoon in the kitchen. - The visitors comments book contains some local information, but we didn't find it until the last day. Recommend a client information pack including emergency numbers for doctors, dentists and the owners. Details of local shops, pubs and takeaways would also be useful.

  On arrival we found over 20 wasps which had been sprayed and were either dead, docile or quite lively!

  ! There was an awful smell emanating from en suite as the drain on shower had not been replaced by cleaner correctly. The owner of lodge was very amenable and fixed the drain and sprayed where the wasps were getting in. The smell from drain took a few days to fade and we kept finding the odd wasp up to the end of our stay. The lodge itself is ok but we found it to be very hot after the sun had been on it all day! There are not enough mugs, glasses or plates either to fill the dishwasher. The living area needs a lamp, the mattresses on beds are extremely uncomfortable and the en-suite and main bathroom need a mat to stand on after having a shower. The lodge is well situated for visiting most places in Cornwall as it is not far from the main road that runs down the length of the Cornish peninsular. The area surrounding the lodges is very quiet and fairly well maintained.

  We had a great stay, the property was extremely clean and tidy.

  Well organised key collection and all in all it was an easy and lovely place to stay. In the middle of all the attractions, however, far enough away for it to not feel touristy. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need and more. It was an outstanding property. We even had a text from the owners checking in which was a lovely touch, thank you! The only tips I would give would be; to make the garden area nicer for guests to spent time in, a washing line to hang towels and swim wear, Option for bed guards for the single beds as they were exceptionally high for our two children. And the mattress on the king size bed could really do with being replaced for a firmer mattress. Thank you for a great holiday to Cornwall and the added welcome hamper
