  10th November 2019.

  Group of three. The accomodation we chose was the Dragon lodge and what a delight it was. Spacious, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Our hosts, Kev and Julie, were absolutely fantastic and provided all our needs and more. The secure entry ensured no one could access the lodge as the key is placed in key safe upon arrival. The rooms were airy and the central heating system controls are modern and easy to use. In fact all the facilities are first class and new. The hot tub is just wonderful and a lovely place to be in the evening as the dark draws in and gets colder. Its cleaned and treated daily. The log burner is fantastic and heats up the lodge in no time at all. I struggled with getting it going at first but a quick message to our hosts and Kev arrived within ten minutes to get it started for me. Thats one of biggest stand out points too, that our hosts were courteous, very pleasant and handled any queries we had in a timely manner. The kitchen is modern, new and has everything you need for your stay. Tea, coffee, sugar, bread, a complimentary cake and even little things like dishwasher tablets were provided that make things easier and more comfortable for you to settle in. There is a smart TV with remotes in all bedrooms, the beds are super comfortable and even my best mate with back problems had a good nights rest with no issues. The bathrooms are also a highlight with new rain style shower heads that give you great hot water with a decent pressure. There are plenty of towels given in the rooms for the bathrooms and hot tub use. Your children can also have fun trying to find the elusive Dewi the dragon that is hidden somewhere within the lodge. Parking is fine, close and adjacent to the lodge with no problems for access with anyone with mobility issues or wheelchair users. My friends and I had an amazing time during our short stay and we would just like to say a big thankyou to Kev and Julie for being so hospitable. We will definitely be returning in the future as its an A* venue.

  Perfect peaceful location.

  St Breward provided a super base away from the hustle n bustle but in the centre of all the things we wanted to do(1/2 hr to Padstow-camel trail and sea safari we got to see dolphins n kinky whale breath taking/Tintagel- searching King Arthur and coast walk to Boscastle spectacular/Port Isaac-Sea food fresh from the sea n Doc Martin's house /Bodmin Jail- Crime n punishment old style). We were given fabulous friendly welcome right from the moment we arrived we felt it was a home from home. We didn't want to be on a huge site and with just a couple of rental units it was ideal our neighbours were friendly and so the shared use of hot tub worked well we were there different times. We had the top lake to ourselves which was one reason for our choice Learning SUP so it was sheltered, safe and secluded. The Buzzards we're flying above and there cry could be heard before you saw them birds were skimming the lake for insects, there were lots of damsel flies and carp in the lake who were curious what we were up to. We booked late and although the outside isn't picture box cottage, I think the inside was perfect well decorated clean, warm and so well stocked with games, books binoculars I find it hard to think of anything else that would make it more perfect. Our local for the week 'The Old Inn' gave us the perfect traditional pub feel we ate here three nights because it was so welcoming, the food was very tasty ie Lamb shanks(super tasty), Steak(tender n well cooked), steak n Ale pie(well filled) and Mussels (great portion). All were all great it was hard to choose washed down beith a tasty Rattler. At the end of our stay we didn't want to leave and we will be going again I don't think a week was long enough.

  This was a perfect fit for us; for one of us with new chronic illness, the other with limited mobility and a young lively dog. It is 3 minutes from door to centre of woodland if you can clamber over some logs/stones, a minute more if you need to walk on flat. We found it so peaceful/ serene. Our dog was much more at ease with so little surrounding noise (except a military flight path which didn't bother us at all, somehow it was still just so quiet there).It's small which makes it very cosy with the log burner and rainwater shower plus roll top bath adding restorative cosiness. Fully equipped kitchen, there were even lots of useful things like oil and kitchen foil which made everything easier.If, like my illness, you have extra sensitivities, ask that the scent diffusers are removed in advance. You need caution with the spiral staircase in lounge area as you could bump head on it, so it could be issue for some disabilities, but we placed dog bed there to remind us not to cross the room that way.Very helpful responsive owners. We will certainly try to return. It was hard to find especially in dark. We gave feedback so hopefully instructions will improve. It's a very long off load track that not all cars/ people would enjoy/ manage well, but if you can, the remoteness is wonderful.As pictures illustrates, we were there in Autumn but the yard looks like it would be lovely for summer al fresco dining and was good for hot chocolate under the stars. Also look at our dog's smile on the last morning. He was refusing to leave the forest.

  Tressa was set in a beautiful quarry and the surroundings were extremely peaceful and made for a lovely holiday.

  The lodge itself was fantastic but let down by the most uncomfortable mattress in the ensuite bedroom. The mattress was very old and tired so I thick foam mattress topper had been put on top which was boiling hot and you rolled around like you’re on a marshmallow. My daughter was so uncomfortable she slept on the sofa for four of the nights. The mattress in the other bedroom was perfect thankfully as my mother has a terrible back and neck condition. The quarry behind our lodge was lovely to swim in. However the ladder installed to get down into the water rather than having to grab handles only had one which was not fixed securely and the space between the treads was very far apart and because you were holding your hands together in front of you when I tried to get in the quarry there was too much space between the treads and I fell very badly injuring my elbow arm and leg. I think a proper ladder with grab handles either side would be far more stable as had my daughter not been with me I would not have been able to get out. All this said if the ladder was changed swimming was an absolute dream in the quarry. I hope the mattress gets replaced had it not been for the lack of sleep I would without question book to return to Tressa as it was the most relaxing place to be. The most important thing with any holiday is getting a good. Night sleep and having a lovely hot shower. It always amazes me when people do not invest in decent mattresses. Please sort them out as we would all love to return

  This place is truly amazing.

  When you see all the reviews about how well equipped is, it really is. Everything that you could ever need. The place is comfy, clean and the cream tea (including the home made Jam) that was waiting for us, was also wonderful. We cooked in most nights and it was very easy. Lots of herbs and spices left there. The lakes are just something else. We came with two boys and a dog and the lower Lake was easier to be use as its a gradual walk in. Unlike the higher lake that you enter by a ladder which is a little harder, however the higher one is very quiet and secluded with a lovely wooden seat to sit and look out. I swam everyday... it was certainly fresh but amazing once you were in. The hot tub over looking the lower lake was also very welcome after a swim. We walked the dog the mile to the local pub every evening. The walk takes you up alongside the river which is lovely. The pub was great and we were met by really lovely locals. We didn't eat there, but heard only great things. We will defo be back. Thank you again Kirsty for your great and very quick communication. Liz x
