What our customers say about their holidays

  The views from all the windows at the rear of the property are exceptional and to die for.

  There is no parking outside the property but the owners have taken out a parking permit for a space in the road below which was much appreciated. The property was well equipped, comfortable, and clean with the exception of the plinth on the wardrobe in the ground floor bedroom which had not seen a duster for some time. There is also an Alexa in the lounge which we found very useful in the evening. The location is easy for getting in and out of Falmouth and good restaurants and pubs are easily within reach. However, be aware that there are steep slopes and steps to and from the centre of the town and its facilities if you have mobility issues. This property was booked by us as there was a ground floor bedroom with an ensuite and a walk in shower. This led us to believe it would be suitable for my friend who has mobility issues. The open plan kitchen, diner and lounge are on the lower floor and have been converted from a cellar. As such there are some ten or twelve steep narrow steps without a proper handrail to reach the lower floor. The beautiful full length windows in the rear facing bedrooms give excellent views but the small windows at the very top are not easily reached if you have height or mobility issues. There are no hair dryers and the rear facing bedroom on the first floor does not have a socket within reach to use the mirror on the wall. The hospitality pack was very poor and not up to the standards of previous Sykes cottages we have rented. There were only tea and biscuits with a pint of milk in the fridge and no flowers. Some suggestions for the owners which they may wish to consider would be a grab rail at the front door as one of the steps is deep. Also grab rails and a full shower length bath mat in the walk in shower and waste bins in the bedrooms. We enjoyed our week in the property and would not hesitate at all to recommend it to people once they are aware of the issues mentioned above.

  We spent an absolutely amazing two weeks at Willow Lodge, nestled on the edge of a small wood it's picturesque, secluded and beautiful.

  On arrival we found a delicious cream tea waiting for us and some milk in the fridge, the lodge was very clean and well equipt with everything we needed, including dish washer tablets and hand soap. Not having to take towels was an added bonus too, the car was already chocker block! The lodge is a perfect base and is 30-60 minutes away from pretty much anywhere you want to go. The only thing I would say the lodge could do with is some hooks to keep the doors open as they kept blowing shut when it was windy, and some bath robes for when you get out of the hot tub would be brilliant. The hot tub itself could do with upgrading as a few of the jets didn't work but it was still a very welcome addition and was used on all but 2 of our 14 days, the kids loved it and after a final dip on the morning we left we forgot to take the swimming things out of the washing machine after spinning them, Anne was kind enough to return them to us along with a light control my son had left behind. Anne is an extremely friendly host and always on hand to help with any problems, our toaster was only toasting on one side which we said wasn't a problem as the other side side worked fine, but it was still replaced very promptly. She also checked in a few times to make sure everything was ok and was very helpful with some local questions we had. One tip, if using sat nav during your stay, don't have it set to quickest route, we only found this out in the second week after realising the A30 and A39 will lead you pretty much everywhere, sat nav will take you down all the narrow, winding (and frankly scary at times) roads because it thinks it's the quickest way but because you can't get over 10-20mph it can double your travelling time. Overall we would highly recommend this lodge and have already started saving to go back.

  Sat 07 Sept 24 - Thurs 12th Sept 24 We are very disappointed in our stay at this apartment as primarily our reason for choosing it and what we paid for fell short in the following areas.

  Firstly I’d like to address what was advertised in the description which we simply didn’t have. (I have screenshots of the apartment description if u need to see them) A Smart TV. There was no tv in this property whatsoever and we wouldn’t have booked if we knew this. We have a small child with us and on rainy days we could have used a smart tv to watch a movie, also it would have been nice to have the morning news on everyday. A Microwave, there was no microwave which made it very difficult to warm our babies milk in the morning and night and also warm up baby food throughout the day. The large extractor fan above the kitchen island doesn’t work and created lots of smoke when cooking. The extractor on the wall isn’t fit for purpose and is the opposite side of the kitchen. The garden is half finished. Not very nice to look at, and should feature in the photos as we were under the impression we’d have a recently refurbished garden as advertised. There wasn’t enough warm water for 4 people to have a quick shower each morning. This meant our son had a cold shower most mornings and there was no warm water throughout the day until 2pm. This again wasn’t advertised. The WiFi is incredibly slow as well. This combined with no tv meant we couldn’t even stream movies on our phones very well. I look forward to seeing what compensation u can offer based on the simple fact that what was advertised and paid for wasn’t provided. As a business owner myself, if I advertise a product and don’t deliver on what I advertised, I cannot in good faith charge for something that is essentially false advertisement. Kind Regards, Tony

  Below are the details from the webpage.

  I have a couple of issues. The first sentence is not correct, you head not only DOWNSTAIRS to the open plan living area, you also head down STEEP stairs. The listing states ground floor bedroom, which would perhaps encourage older people or those with disability, but there is no mention of the steep and narrow stairs to reach the lower ground floor. We had to carry our aged dog up and down them. Also, the accommodation would sleep 5 adults, but there are sofas for 4 realistically. It would be a tight squeeze for 5 adults. Other than that the property was very clean and well appointed, apart from lacking some basic kitchen items, (we left a note for housekeeping) including a large saucepan - again we couldn't have cooked pasta for example for 5 adults without using two small saucepans. Enter the property into a spacious hallway, with a handy coat rack to hang your coats and motion sensor lighting, head to the open-plan living area, with a newly-fitted kitchen, housing a range of integrated amenities, including a dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer and washer/dryer.Prepare delicious home-cooked meals, which can be enjoyed by the whole group at the lovely oak dining table, before retiring to the sitting room to relax on one of the sofas, admiring the incredible harbour views on offer, or enjoying watching the Smart TV.

  We had a wonderful week at Willow lodge.

  The lodge has been upgraded with new carpets and sofas which has improved the overall look of the lodge and was a pleasant surprise on arrival …photos online should be updated to show this. We stayed with three teenagers and they loved the hot tub which was used everyday and was very much the highlight of the lodge. We chose the lodge due to having a hot tub but also the location which was so peaceful and not overlooked at all. It was a great base in which to explore Cornwall. The lodge is spacious and the bedrooms had ample space for everyone staying plus lots of space for clothes storage. The beds were comfortable and the shower was more than adequate. A problem with the shower was dealt with promptly by the owners. Overall everyone in our group had a wonderful stay and we would recommend staying here. It would be lovely if there were some garden games stored in the outside cupboard as there is a good sized lawn in which to enjoy them, badminton sets or swing ball etc. Lastly, the personal touches of delicious scones, jam and cream on arrival were a welcome treat and loo rolls, washing up liquid and tea towels also welcome as an additional extra that most properties do not include.
