What our customers say about their holidays

  The house was nice, although cold and the pillows supplied in the bedrooms were very hard for our taste.

  The grounds are lovely if you are after woodland and long grass, however this is not at all what we were expecting. The garden is described on your website thus - "Outside there is an acre of garden to enjoy with garden furniture for relaxation on sunny evenings." We then looked at the photos supplied. There is an image of a patch of lawn and the rear elevation of the house. This clearly does not show an "acre" of garden, however there is another image of a very large, bordered garden laid to lawn which is quite easily an acre in size. I don't think it unfair therefore to make the connection that this is likely to be the garden to the property, as there is no reference to say otherwise and no further description of the garden. Our children love to play outdoor games and were looking forward to a big open space. We were incredibly let down to find a lawn that was no bigger than the garden we have at home, and that 90% of the garden could not be used as it is heavily wooded, left to grow into a meadow with only a narrow mowed pathway around the edge, and many areas overgrown with brambles and stinging nettles. It is also incorrect to state that the sunny evenings could be spent outside. The garden was in shade well before evening. If you are advertising an acre of garden, should you not specify that most of this acre is inaccessible? We were so disappointed we ended up spending most of our days out, when our original aim was to relax at the property. Please consider your property advertising more carefully.

  We've been coming down to the Penwarne Lodge for a few years now, it is generally speaking our preferred cottage.

  We love the secluded location, gardens, space the house has (for 2 people + a dog), comfort, fire place and general presentation of the house. Within the house itself: The bed is massive, we always get a good night sleep in there. Kitchen is of a good standard, extremely spacious and well kitted out. We have cooked a full roast here before easily. Both bedrooms are of a good standard, though the second bedroom is for kids really. Generally the house is in good condition, it could probably do with a lick of paint but don't let that put you off. The only downside is the bathroom, which is downstairs in the coldest part of the house. The shower and bath are good though. The location is one of the real highlights. We usually come September-November. We love the fact its secluded though not too far away from shops. As well as all the beaches, Argal Resovoir is just up the road, we walked around there a few times with the dog its a good walk. Mawnan Smith is a really small village and is just 5 mins away in the car, there is also some national trust gardens just up the road too. The cottage is down a track and whilst it should be fine for most cars, anything lowered would probably struggle to get down there. The people who look after the cottage are always really friendly, if you need anything they are on it straight away via text message. We always enjoy coming to Penwarne, and we will continue to comeback.

  We have just returned from a fabulous week at Penwarne Lodge.

  The lodge had everything we needed. scones, jam and clotted cream, milk, teabags and coffee were a very much appreciated welcome. The large master bedroom's superking size bed was so comfy, and the twin room was a good size too. We did find, as previously said in reviews, the TV kept dropping channels (mainly the itv ones) but we brought our Amazon Firestick so that wasn't a problem and the Wi-Fi was fine for streaming Netflix etc. The garden is large and the grass had all been cut. The sun moves to the front in the afternoon so we moved the table and chairs to the front to make the most of the last sun of the day. Just to note......although The village of Mawnan Smith is just a mile away, it really isn't a good idea to try and walk it....there isn't any form of path and it's quite a busy road....we tried and turned back....much better to take The car.....and while there I'd recommend the pub there, The Red Lion, lovely welcome and food. My only regret for the week is that we ran out of time to go round the gardens. The lodge is a home from home and I would love to return. Thank you Simon for coming to see us before we left.

  The cottage was wonderful, we had contacted the property manager before our arrival and confirmed our arrival and details of gaining entry.

  We were able to stay for the whole week, we had a relative arrive for one night during our stay. Unfortunately with the use of the coat hook it came off the wall, my husband was able to re-fix the hook back to the wall but being a carpenter he noted that it was only fixed to a partition wall/dry wall and probably should need better fixing to ensure that this didn't happen again. The house was very warm and inviting, comfortable and clean, we did note that there was an issue with ladybirds at the top of the stairs and we appreciate there would be some sort of 'wildlife' when staying in the country. It in no way affected our comfort or stay. We had our dog with us and we were very comfortable with the facilities available for us and also for our dog, she is well trained and slept on her own bed and we had our own blankets we used on the larger sofa so the dog may sit on the sofa and didn't mark it in any way. Thank you again for letting us stay at your property, we really enjoyed this property and staying in this location and the local walks and pub was lovely.

  We really enjoyed Penwarne Lodge again, we stayed the same time last year and it was perfect and so we wanted to re-create that.

  Well we did so two fold, the house was so warm, a few changes made to make things more easier for us and we had all the equipment to hand that we needed. Having the Woodburner was perfect as we were able to have the fire going on a couple of evenings but in reality that wasn't needed for the heat as the house was plenty warm enough. Perfect walks from the house that we took advantage of and the dog really enjoyed those, as well as sniffing her way around every inch of the garden and squirrel spotting! We cooked a couple of evenings and all the equipment was available for us. Only one comment that some of the knives could have been sharper but then I'm spoiled at home with really sharp knives. Lovely nights undisturbed sleep, lovely to be able to hear the owls hooting in the distance. We're looking forward to returning to Penwarne, perhaps even in the summer so that we can enjoy everything in the nice weather!
