  We had a great time regardless of the weather.

  We chose this lodge as the hot tub is under cover and can be accessed directly from the living room (next to the wood burning stove). Handy hooks were in the right places for robes. We picked up some wood from a petrol station (remember to also get firelighters & kindling), as the stove really made the lodge cosy, this was even serviced during our stay, Sally made sure this was convenient for us. The lodge was very clean (thank you housekeeping) and would say if staying for a week, you only have enough washing up liquid for a couple of days, the same with shower gel etc so bring extra. We had a Waitrose delivery which made life very easy. We did pop down to the restaurant a couple of times, although a small menu, Amanda is so welcoming and is really on the ball with dietary restrictions. The grounds are very well kept and our dog had a lot of fun, we were not overlooked and there is plenty of space between lodges. lots of wildlife, rabbits, squirrels, birds of prey, pheasants, herons - Thanks again to Amanda for recommending the Merlin bird app. Would recommend Sarah's Pasties in Looe (they also do gluten free), Inkies Smokehouse at Golitha falls is a great visit (25 mins in the car), Seaton is great with dog friendly beaches, also Talland Bay is a lovely cove. Would recommend flip flops for going in and out to the hot tub (avoids slips). Also bring your own ice, as no ice trays in the freezer. the wooden table set outside is a little green and just needs a refresh (we have had a lot of rain this year), but there is also a plastic rattan patio set. The hot tub was regularly checked and maintained, just remember to put the lid on when you are finished for the day. If you need anything contact Sally, she kept us informed with regular email updates and helpful information. We really needed a relaxing break as its been a difficult year, and this was certainly what we got. Not a big menu in the restaurant and check for opening times, perhaps restricted as later in the year but plenty of options within a small drive. We brought citronella candles and did use them, as backing into the woods and near water, only a few midges but this sorted the problem. Only gripe would be that the lodge is lovely and light but no black out blinds in the bedrooms, did have blinds but not as effective (we are easily woken). Will bring a sleep eye mask next time as not a deal breaker.

  Sykes description of this property, in my opinion, is a misrepresentation.

  It does not have a combination microwave ,but a normal one .. no dining table only a nest of tables .. we could not cook anything so had to eat out every day...when we ate at the property we had to eat off two trays... no bath only a shower .. no adequate storage facilities. .. we had to live out of our suit cases on the living room floor There was a small clothes rail and a basket filled with blankets, located in the living room .. the bed was positioned next to the wall so had to climb over each other. Storage was one underbed drawer full of blankets etc. To drive out of the property we had to reverse out on to the main road due to other vehicles that were in the driveway. . This is not a barn conversion,in my opinion, but a large garage conversion. .. the outside wall is next to the road and every time a vehicle goes over a grate in the road it sounds through the property .. the sofa was covered with two throws and was not stylish in any respect and uncomfortable. The property was cramped and not what we expected for £616 a week. .. The owners were very nice people and the welcome gift of cream scones and wine was a nice gesture .. we agree the property was clean and tidy but that does not make up for a weeks holiday accomodation which was not what we expected.. had a true description of the property been advertised we would not have booked it. ..Too small and cramped for two people. ...

  We enjoyed our first stay when this site was under the previous owners and were looking forward to returning; especially as we had not managed to take a break for some 7 years.

  The first cabin we stayed in had a lovely position but was extremely dated with items damaged and scratched; it was also fairly dirty all over, with sinks and showers blocked too. We were making the best and ignoring the down points; we run a wildlife rescue centre so spent most of our time enjoying the wildlife. On our one and only day out, we received a call asking us to return to the cabin and move all our belongings to another cabin as there was a leaking pipe under the cabin. We didn't really want to cut our day short, have to repack or move cabins and since the leak had been found just after midday, we asked if it could be repaired. They insisted we move and that it could not attempt a repair; funny it was fixed the next morning. Obviously things happen and items break, but their approach was that they'd given us another cabin and everything was fine, don't worry, it was only a holiday we'd been waiting for, for a very long time. There was an offer of some type of refund, but after move we had no replies from them and to date, no reply or recompense. Here's a tip, we were a customer and you are not doing us a favour. I may have glossed over it if your attitude hadn't been so poor, hence I took the time to write this.

  We had a lovely stay, We had no facilities to eat there so we had to eat out everyday.

  We were told we would be given plates, bowls so forth but wasn't so got very expensive as we had taken food to cook. On the 2nd morning of the stay I nearly fell as the decking was so slippy by the toilet. - weather was rubbish so having to walk from the car park with all the luggage was difficult would of been a lot easier to park next to the lodge. Grass was really long meaning our feet got soaking. Was a very clean lodge. It was a lovely place for our little sausage dog. We had a brand new shower and water pressure was lovely. There is a window in the shower and people can see right in so go careful this happened to me in the shower very embarrassing! Signal isn't great around the area for EE Or O2 so would have been nice to have a little Tv or something for entertainment in there in the evenings. It's a good place if you're just using it for somewhere to sleep and if you have pets.

  The setting of this lodge is perfect - to the rear, you feel like you're in a forest and the steam running below provides some tranquility.

  The lodge was spacious, light and very clean and the sheltered hot tub was a huge bonus when there was the occasional shower. The site is very quiet and it's fine for kids who are easily entertained but there is no play area so look elsewhere if that is a must for you. The Old Mill restaurant onsite serves great food and the staff are great - special thanks to Amanda. The park staff were amazing - we had some significant car problems during our stay and nothing was too much bother when it came to offering assistance, support or just a listening ear. Laney and the team are a credit to the park. Our holiday was unfortunately cut short because of the car, but we've booked at the sister Southern Holt site for Easter 2024 and have no hesitation in recommending Stonerush Lakes.
