What our customers say about their holidays

  First and foremost we had a very good holiday.

  The Mayflower lodge was well equipped, clean, spacious and wonderfully decorated. Potential improvements: - If the information on what was already at the lodge could be more detailed we would have been able to use the limited space we had in our vehicle to bring only the things we needed (for example there is an iron and ironing board but this was not clear). - A lot of people will (and should) shower every day as well as using the hot tub. After one to two days this will likely mean the one towel per adult will be damp for the duration of the holiday. Either double the number of towels should be provided OR a tumble drier (the washing machine had a 'air and dry' function but this did not seem to dry anything but just leave it warm and damp). - The HDMI cable for the Playstation was broken (where it plugs into the TV) meaning we could not watch any of the DVDs we brought for the kids. - The TV itself did not seem to be able to recognize the wifi and hence we were unable to stream anything on the TV, which would have been helpful with young kids with us. - The shower in the en suite to the master bedroom has two different heads. One at it's maximum height is too low for adults. The other is missing some of the rubber fixings meaning the water pours through unevenly. - The curtains in the master bedroom were quite thin meaning it was difficult to sleep once the sun had come up (will effect some more than others - I am a very light sleeper!) - We do not think we were given the code to the gate which evidently you need to enter the park beyond a certain time. Thankfully someone was outside and knew the code so we were able to enter but it would have been sensible to provide that to new visitors (perhaps we had been and I missed it!) - The wine fridge was a little confusing. It seems to intermittently cool but never very well and sometimes not at all. Sometimes it would start beeping relentlessly until we started pushing buttons. Not sure if it was user error or if it is actually faulty.

  Our 4th stay in a year at the Mayflower.

  Mayflower is a very comfortable, beautiful lodge, the hot tub is lovely. It is an ideal place to relax. We had booked for 14 nights as usual but unfortunately the alternator went on our car on the way to the lodge, trying to get a mobile mechanic was not easy, we booked the RAC mobile mechanic to do the repair, however due to difficulty sourcing the part the car did not get repaired until the day we were due to leave so we booked an extra week as had not travelled over 200 miles to just sit in the lodge or go for walks. We had a few food deliveries from Asda whilst there. We wanted a relaxing break and certainly got one and will go back as love the lodge watching the squirrels play and birds flying around by the woods. The cafe is a few minutes walk through the woods which serves lovely food. The location of Roadford Lake Lodges is ideal for trips out with Launceston being 10 minute drive. Tavistock 30 minutes away, Bideford 1 hour away, Plymouth 1 hour away and Padstow 1 hour away. All timings are approximate depending on time of day and traffic. The clothes airer still has broken wires which has been like it since our first visit in September 2023 but we took one from home to use so no problem for us. The Mayflower never fails to disappoint.

  We had a lovely week at Mayflower.

  Two families with four kids between us and lodge still felt roomy and spacious. Lodge facilities are good and really well equipped kitchen. The site is beautiful and was great to have use of the gym and to to be a few minutes walk from the playpark and lake. We loved the hot tub but do think it’s filter needed cleaning as there was leaves in it on arrival and as much as we tried to remove them, they seemed to stay in the tub for the whole week. The wine cooler is still broken as well and the high dry is snapped in places. All these are small things and we still had a lovely holiday but with no one ever on reception and maintenance coming now and then, we could have really done with someone on site we could ask about these things as they’re not big enough issues to call the owner. That would be my only feedback - we don’t really have a ‘middleman’ to sort out the smaller stuff. Aside from that - great lodge and location. We visited Lydford Gorge, Bude Beach, Chagford outdoor pool and Cotehele Hall - all roughly within 30/40 mins of the property and great family days out.

  This chalet was way over priced and nof a very low standard.

  The kitchen was in need of all new cupboards and drawers and the sofa needs replacing. The coffee table was covered in scratches and wobbled. You can't put any milk in the fridge over a 2 pint carton in the door unless you remove the shelves and tray. The double bed is too small for an average height adult. I'm only 5ft8 and my legs hung over the bottom of the bed. There is no storage or shelves in the bathroom or towel rail, it is very poor. The windows were filthy and and the drawers in the bedroom were full of hairs and bits of things I can't describe. The inside of the kettle was peeling away and contained lots of broken plastic that I thankfully didn't swallow. These chalets should not cost more than at least £400. I have photos and video evidence which I will posting to Trip Advisor. The poor quality of the chalet was the low point of our holiday. Also the attitude of the staff is you're staying in basic accomodation so what do you expect. £656 is not basic or cheap payment for accomdation. Very poor.

  Our 3rd time staying for 14 nights each time since September 2023.

  Mayflower is everything you want for a relaxing stay, it is luxurious with its furnishings, kitchen appliances and utensils. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing in late afternoon / early evening especially when you have been out for the day, we visit more places each time we stay including Bude, Newquay, Salcombe, Padstowe, Tavistock, Bideford and Launceston (which is where nearest Tesco is). The new privacy fence with towel hooks around the hot tub is great and just what was needed as the fence was missing on our last stay and we only had 4 weeks between stays. We love it so much we have already booked our next 14 night stay in September. Only criticism is the clothes airer has some of the wires missing, we brought a new one when there during our stay before this and took it back this time to use, as this is not a big issue for use. Once again I would definitely recommend the Mayflower, it does not have any direct neighbours and we think is in the best location on site.
