The friendly on-site staff contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, and the property's upkeep is praised. While some guests have concerns about privacy and cleanliness, the overall experience is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The cleanliness has received mixed reviews. One guest mentioned stains and a lack of thorough cleaning, suggesting room for improvement. However, no other reviews corroborate this, so the score reflects a below-average perception of cleanliness.
There is insufficient information to accurately score the location as the reviews do not specifically mention attributes related to the location's convenience, scenery, or accessibility.
Comfort has been a point of contention. One guest found the bed uncomfortable, while others did not comment on comfort specifically. Given the lack of consistent feedback, the score is set slightly above average, acknowledging the negative comment.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of new lodges and a well-maintained hot tub. However, there are minor issues with maintenance such as a partially working toaster. The score reflects good facilities with some room for improvement.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, the score is set to null, and it should be noted that while gifts are a delightful surprise, they are not guaranteed.

That's the only criticism. Hot tub was fantastic and regularly checked by staff. The staff on site were so friendly and welcoming.

Couldn't have asked for more, nice small site, we've been to Cornwall many times but further down, we did lots of exploring and looked forward to coming back to the lodge every day for a dip in the hot tub. Couldn't recommend the lodge more and we would definitely stay again.
