  It was a lovely break thank you, an enjoyable two weeks.

  Very comfortable. Have read earlier reviews regarding the bed, pillows and cinema chairs but we disagree…..everything was good thank you, maybe they have been replaced. Very comfortable indeed, as was the sofa. The only thing I didn’t find comfortable was sitting at the table as the chairs were modern and high . We would have preferred a standard dining chair. Had it been summer we would have eaten at the outside table …. It was lovely having Wrendale crockery. All very new and spotlessly clean. All appliances worked well with the exception of the tv above the jacuzzi bath. This was reported on our first day and we were told that a part would need to be ordered to make it work, that it would be ordered on the Monday and it would take a few days. We chased it up three times but no part arrived and it didn’t work for the duration of our break. No one got back to us so we gave up. This was annoying , especially as if it didn’t work for us it can’t have worked for the previous occupants. On reading reviews it is apparent the tv in the jacuzzi area hasn’t worked properly for some months so I’m at a loss to know why we were basically fobbed off in this regard. Obviously we have stayed on the site previously ie pre Covid when things were newer. I expect there is some sort of ongoing maintenance on this property, and I think the next thing which could improve this property would be to replace the kettle as this looked shabby, especially next to the beautiful crockery which looked almost new. I appreciate it gets a lot of use but I don’t expect a kettle to look quite like ours did. Someone had in the past attempted to open the door near the bath without first opening the blind and this is damaged which looks a bit unsightly but people should be more careful and given the expense of repair I understand why this was left as it was. Please understand this is constructive criticism, not a complaint. It’s just that we had stayed in the lodge nearby previously and that was immaculate. Having said that , it was pre Covid and a lot of visitors will have been in both since , so maybe the newness has worn off there too. With staying two weeks we had to ring to find out what arrangements would be made to freshen laundry and the towels. Clean laundry was supplied at the end of week one and we changed our bed and put the used laundry outside for collection. It would have been better had we not had to arrange for this ourselves. Indeed I phoned before we set off for our holiday about this and no one got back to us. It shouldn’t really have been us requesting/ chasing. It should be something we are told will happen on whatever date. We stayed in the lodge quite a lot as we just wanted a rest rather than a holiday and it was good to be familiar with our surroundings and know where local shops etc were. The fridge , freezer, cooker were all adequate, it was nice having a wine chiller which gave us more room in the fridge . We had plenty of cooking utensils and equipment including a microwave , dishwasher and washing machine so it was very home from home. The owners were very generous in leaving films to watch in the cinema as well as a few books. Wrendale playing cards too ! We buy Wrendale for family and friends as we live not far from the person who designs it. What a small world ! The sauna was well used by us and despite earlier reviews, we found it spotlessly clean. A very relaxing break thank you but I hope that our comments and feedback are used to remedy the issues raised for the benefit of future clients.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 5 Faraway Fields.

  The trip was a break for our 20th wedding anniversary and we couldn't have found a better property for a relaxing break away from the normal stresses of life. The spa room was absolutely lovely and the only thing that wasn't quite right was the TV in the bath which had poor reception for some reason. The kitchen was extremely well equipped so we felt no need to venture out for food as it was actually easier to make food at the lodge. We would have appreciated some better instructions on how the heating worked but as tech-minded people, we figured it out as the weather did turn a little chilly one night. The bedroom was designed beautifully but I felt the pillows were a bit old and could definitely do with replacing as two of them smelt a little stale. The bed was reasonably comfortable but obviously, a mattress is a personal choice. I do think the listing for this property should mention that it has a rather good hairdryer as I bought my own along and really didn't need too The cinema room was amazing. As we stayed over the Platinum Jubilee it was great to watch the coverage on this as well as stream movies. My husband and I had a thoroughly relaxing time and would love to return to this or another property in this lovely, quiet, and super luxurious holiday lodge development. The only thing we couldn't get was fantastic weather to enjoy the beautiful secluded garden around the lodge!

  Amazing Holiday, Thank you!

  We had a really lovely stay at Orchard View, it was in a great position that's not overlooked and people aren't walking past which was great for Amber my dog. The views over the countryside from the decking/hot tub were stunning. The lodge was really comfortable and had everything we needed. The sofas and bed were comfy, the kitchen was well equiped even with a full sized fridge/freezer so plenty of room to store food. Made good use of the furniture out on the decking as well as the hot tub! Someone from the site did check the hot tub daily, and apart from the first day when they walked in unannounced and were greeted by 40kg of protective Ridgeback, it wasn't too disruptive. They did shout from the gate for the rest of the week if we were in and usually arrived between 9:30am & 10:30am. The site was quiet, the cafe next door and the icecream van across the road were both amazing. The views across Bossiney Haven were really stunning and access to the west coast path couldn't have been easier. We had an amazing holiday with weather so good we couldnt have wished for better! We would definitely recommend Orchard View and would love to return for another holiday, thank you for a fantastic stay!

  Nice lodge, not over looked so hot tub was quite private, clean tidy but to get the car into the allocated parking space was so tight!

  If there had been a car in the allocated space of the lodge at the bottom of the hill then there is no way we’d have got our vehicle into our parking place! Also visitors need to bear in mind the walk to the beach is extremely steep, there are hand rails which are very much needed, the beach is however lovely but take account of tide times as if tide is in then there is no beach. The walk into Tintagel is lovely via the coastal route but a good 30 mins away more the 1/2 mile! There is a lovely cafe next to the holiday park where the owners are very welcoming with a wealth of knowledge of the area and they do a great breakfast but they shut at 5pm so if you are looking for evening food then there is nothing local so it’s either a walk to Tintagel or a drive to somewhere else. We enjoyed our stay, the dogs had a great time, we were extremely lucky with the weather so walking into town for food each night was no issue, it would have been a different story if it had been a week of rain! Lovely lodge just make sure you research the area as a car is needed!

  Our short break was absolutely brilliant and was most enjoyable.

  Very comfortable lodge, sofa and bed. Bathroom was well equipped with an excellent shower. If I were to be at all critical, I’d say the parking was a little tight at lodge 13 (had to reverse it in from the narrow main road of the park, which was already on a tight corner) and not particularly well lit for a nighttime manoeuvre. The fire didn’t seem to work, not sure if it was the remote control or fire itself, but we couldn’t get it to turn on. The central heating however was excellent. Sadly, the temperature of the hot tub was too cold upon arrival and so although we stayed two nights, we’re only able to use it once. I realise you are changing the water for each visitor, but perhaps if it could have been put on earlier, we might have made the benefit of a lodge with a tub. All in all, a brilliant stay, excellent location with things to do, places to visit and walks to explore very close by. Thank you.
