  Beautiful property in a beautiful area.

  Due to it being new there are a few more things that are needed to make it perfect. Coffee machine supplied but not even 2 pods there so you can see which ones goes with that machine, theres just so many at the supermarket, we just dodnt know which one goes with that machine. Not even a salt and pepper pot, the cupboards were absolutely bare. We didn't realise we needed to take everything. There was a plate with some tea, coffee sachets, sugar sachets, 2 hot chocolate sachets and a couple of biscuits. We thought they would have some local products like scones, cream and jams as a meet and greet welcome gift, in the fridge there were a few small pots of milk. Let's face it, everyone who comes to Cornwall has a long drive there and it would be nice to have something there when you arrive. Very bare minimum kitchen utensils, could do with a masher for potatoes for example, due to being out of session a lot of places in the evening are closed so we cooked at the lodge. I think if they are going to continue to rent it out during the winter some more kitchen utensils are needed. We had a problem with the heating, they did try to fix it so for 3 nights we were freezing then on the last night it was fixed but went ro the extreme and it was like a sauna. There is no thermostat to control the heat, theres a hub but not even the staff new how to work it, so maybe an easier option would be better. There is no doubt that this is a top quality lodge, it just need tweaking. It looks brand new and it is truly beautiful, but things like the towels could be bigger and better quality to suit the lodge. There is even a wine cooler and a dishwasher (tablets supplied) but no spare bin bags or dish clothes. You don't go on holiday and thunk you need to buy theses things. No pillow protectors, could do with better quality pillows to be fair. Ironing board and iron. Somewhere to hang your washing, either in or outside. We asked for a clothes stand and they gave us one without a problem, they thought the washing machine was a dryer too, if it was we couldn't work it out. Maybe some instructions if it is. No Internet up in the lodge. We used up our data because we are too far away from the signal of the camp site so a booster up there would be great. I have my own business so I need Internet and it is advertised as having Internet just not in the lodge. Bins, very small bin in the kitchen. Could do with bins outside in a enclosed container to put your rubbish in and to be able to recycle better. You have to put your waist in your car and take it down to the main bins. We are not saying we wouldn't come back due to theses small tweaks, we are saying for the price of the lodge to bring it up to standard of the price you are paying. Staff very friendly and very beautiful location.

  Beach Combers is the perfect location for anyone wanting a relaxing stay in a modern, comfortable property within 5 mins walk of an outstanding beach. The property is brand new and the modern feel was fantastic. The large open kitchen, dining and living area opens up onto an outside seating area with a small charcoal BBQ. The bathroom and bedrooms are ideal for a family of four (two adults, two children). The combi boiler ensures you never run out out of hot water, especially useful if you have all just returned from the beach! The kitchen has all the essentials with a washing machine and dishwasher. Although the kitchen was well equipped, the property could do with a tea pot, tray, a couple of additional chopping boards and some place mats. The local beach at Widemouth Bay is perfect for sandcastle making, relaxing, surfing, body boarding, rock pool hunting or just going for a swim. Life guards were on duty during our stay and the cafes provided a large selection of food and drinks. Bude, to the north, is about a 70-80 minute walk via the South West coastal path where you will find plenty of shops, restaurants and another fantastic beach (which is well sheltered for windy days). Overall, a great cottage in a great location. We all throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the property for a relaxing stay.

  I was a little worried after reading the last review, however it could not have been further from the truth!

  We found it to be spotless, comfortable and very well equipped . Everything was excellent quality, furniture was good quality and very comfy sofas ( we had our own sofa blanket for the dog but blankets were supplied ) . Clearly time and effort has been invested in this lodge to make it so comfortable. It looks like the outside of the lodge has recently been refurbished to a high standard and we had a lovely evening sitting outside the lodge on a quiet still evening. Beds were really good. comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. It's a very nice quiet clean park. It is a great base for seeing the local area. Having been in hospitality for years my baseline is always whether or not I would stay again, and I would absolutely stay here again, really enjoyed our stay! Well situated to enjoy the local attractions, A must is an afternoon at Clovelly which is a half hour drive. The National Trust Sandymouth Bay Beach is two miles away , we went there every morning with our dog who loved the rock pools as we enjoyed a coffee overlooking the bay . Live music at Crooklets Beach Bar in Bude and dinner in the local village pub close to the park (Kilkhampton ) , perfect end to a perfect stay. We will be back !

  Would highly recommend this cottage. Location wise the beach is literally a 5 minute walk down the road and there is also a lovely cafe there. We did miss being within a short walking distance to shops/pubs however Bude is only a 10 minute drive away. The cottage itself is lovely and modern and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner stopped by on our first day to check we had everything we needed which was as a really touch. The cottage surfaces and floors were clean on arrival however we did notice some cobwebs & dust around the property. The interior doors were extremely squeaky/noisy to close too (this would never usually be an issue however we came with our 7 month old son who woke at night everytime the bathroom & bedroom doors were opened and closed). These were the only small negatives and this wouldn’t put me off recommending the cottage. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

  A really lovely little cabin.

  My partner and I and of course my dog stayed here for a week. The cabin was really well equipped. I would say pack a oven glove no oven glove. We.used a towel. The dog said thank you for the jar of biscuits. The cabin was clean except for the shower under the slip mat had hairs so I was joined by someone's long black hair. I know it wasn't mine my partner and I are blonde. But I was impressed with the cabin and bed was very comfortable. The local pub the red lion is dog friendly the manager loves dogs it is a comfortable pub really friendly the locals welcome you in and will have a good old chat. Also fuss the dog. My advice is park the car at the back of the pub you have in the grounds. To unpack and load up because the hill from the main car park to the cabin is a killer when trying to take your stuff in. The area around is lovely. We had a really lovely week. Thank you so much.
