Guests say
Guests have praised 4 Miller's Island for its peaceful and tranquil setting, surrounded by nature with a private hot tub and wildlife visitors. The unique layout and bright living area provide a cosy retreat. Some attention to outdoor cleanliness and maintenance would enhance the experience.
The interior cleanliness is generally appreciated, but there are mentions of kitchen items and outdoor furniture needing better cleaning. The presence of wildlife contributes to some untidiness outdoors.
The lodge's location is highly regarded for its serene environment, surrounded by a lake and stream, offering a perfect retreat for a peaceful holiday with lovely views and local wildlife.
The lodge's cosy layout and the addition of blinds for extra cosiness at night have been well-received. However, suggestions for curtains and shade options indicate room for improvement.
Facilities like the hot tub are a highlight, but there are comments on the need for clearer instructions and maintenance of the outdoor decking area. Some outdoor lights were not working.
Guests appreciated the welcome pack and consumables box, which added a nice touch to their stay. However, as gifts are not consistently mentioned, they should not be expected in every stay.

Lanreath is a village in southeast Cornwall, five miles west of Looe. Lanreath is rural in character with a local shop and Post Office as well as a parish church. There are a number of ghost stories associated with Lanreath. The best-known features a ghost in black driving a coach pulled by a headless horse. Nearby Pelynt is home to a parish church, a number of local shops and pubs, especially the Jubilee Inn, which was an original farmhouse dating back to the 16th Century. Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. Polperro is a little further away and is a historic fishing village nestling at the head of a long valley leading down to the sea. With plenty of areas to visit, Lanreath is a quiet, pleasant place offering easy access to the coast, the moors, National Trust properties and Cornwall's famous gardens.

The layout was great, big space for 4 of us, hot tub was excellent and had everything you could want for a week away. Blinds have been put up on side windows which was extra cosy at night which had been previously mentioned. Now the not so good point..... cleanliness. Several items in the kitchen were dirty, bowls, cutlery & plates. The table placemats were filthy with dried food on still too. The decking area,outside windows and outdoor furniture were also grubby looking and dirty. Couldn't use any of the seating or the hammock. Needs a good jet wash and removal of bird poo/cobwebs off of seats and windows. 1 outdoor light by hottub was also not working. Would return though again

The hot tub was set in a glorious woodland area with complete privacy and the visitors which included ducks, squirrels and even a heron were wonderful. The outdoor decking area however does need some attention to be able to enjoy it. The decking and seating areas were not cleaned and so unusable and some stinging nettles need to be cut back. The soft furniture looks to be always be left out so could do with being cleaned and taken in after each stay so people can then bring it out if desired (plenty of wardrobe space for those). If this area could be sorted it would be 5* all round from us as we did have a wonderful stay and would love to come back if some attention could be given outdoors.

The very small thing that was disconcerting was there was not curtain for the entrance window which at night make us feel a little unsure. There was reference to instructions by the hottub which didn't seem to be there and I was confused about what to do regarding the rubbish which wasn't clear in the welcome documents but fortunately I was able to check with the cleaning crew before leaving. Loved the little welcome pack and box of various consumerables which was a nice touch. Reception staff were very nice and friendly. Overal a very positive and relaxing long weekend. Thank you.
