We had a fantastic weeks stay in this lovely lodge.

We had a fantastic weeks stay in this lovely lodge. The location is stunning so quiet and peaceful yet a short drive from all the resorts and supermarkets. The lodge is beautiful with lovely furnishings and everything you could want for a relaxing stay, set in its own private gardens and is spotlessly clean and really comfy beds. The owners are lovely and very helpful and the property is a credit to them. Would have no hesitation in highly recommending this lodge and we will certainly stay again.

Had a great week here.

Had a great week here. Gary was on hand to welcome us and see us settled in. Very cosy lodge, which a choice of garden areas in which to sit and relax. Very impressed by the high standards generally throughout the accommodation. We found this a very convenient base from which to explore the area. Beaches (eg Praa Sands) close by, plus several gardens and heritage sites. We would recommend this accommodation.
