  If you are looking for a wonderful, peaceful place to stay on a break away, Langdale Lodge is a must.

  Set on a farm, you have a beautiful view from the living area looking out on to fields, lake and farm animals. We stayed during winter, which at times was quite a wet period but it was lovely, we chose to stay in and lit the fire which warms up the lodge and makes it nice and cosy. One of the most amazing things about the lodge is the wildlife cameras that you can watch. The farm is blessed with lots of wild animals and Mike kindly sends updates if there is anything exciting that comes through during the night. We spent most of our time when in the lodge with it running, periodically checking out what there was about and saw owls, mice, birds, geese, ducks and a rabbit. Those staying over the spring period will have such fun watching the owl houses too if there are owlets! The lodge has great facilities, the bed is comfortable, shower has good power, you can cook using the all in one and stove top. The settee is amazing as it’s a recliner, so you can sit back and relax whilst looking out of the huge window or watching the TV, which has the ability to login to any streaming services you might wish to. The wifi is good if you need to use. If going in better weather, there’s a lovely outdoor seating area on the decking. It’s all enclosed which was perfect for us and our little dog to be out in. We were made to feel very welcome upon arrival and even got to purchase some eggs from the hens on the farm. Thank you also to Mike who allowed us to say hello to the some of the farm animals too which was really special. We look forward to hopefully coming back again in a warmer period to enjoy all the fun things Devon and the lodge has to offer in a different season. Highly recommend staying here.

  We had a lovely week at An Drowes in June 2023 and would highly recommend.

  The property was spotlessly clean upon arrival and we were very impressed with the quality of furnishings and facilities. Everything feels brand new! We also thought the hand written card and freshly baked scones upon arrival were a personal touch. Location is great for access to the town and beaches as well as exploring other areas of Cornwall. You also have lots of choice nearby for food as well as several supermarkets. The only downside to our stay (which was quickly rectified) is that we noticed on arrival that the hot tub water was green in colour rather than clear/blue with a very strong chemical smell. We didn’t think anything of this and also didn’t want to complain, but unfortunately after the first use two of our party had experienced a burning sensation and rash on their back and legs immediately after coming out of the water and after the second day and use we all had the same. We notified this to the owner and on the same day the hot tub water was replaced with crystal clear water and we didn’t experience any further issues. Despite the small issue as it was handled quickly and as it didn’t spoil our stay, we would highly recommend choosing this property and would revisit again in the future when deciding to stay in Newquay. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  We had a lovely time, clearly a great deal of time and money has been spent on making this holiday home into a great place to stay.

  Very modern, clean and tidy. We were very comfortable staying here. Shame about the area it is in as it is very run down, but it didn’t spoil our stay at all. A couple of things I think need addressing and that is when I stripped the bedding as asked before we left. there were no pillow protectors. This is a must especially with what we have all been through in the last year, also on the duvet itself, on both beds were some yellow stains. The mattress had a protective cover but they didn’t want this stripped off. I would say that needs washing each time. Also we were very lucky with the weather and spent time sitting outside on the outside furniture. There was a lot of dried bird droppings and would of been nice if this could of been washed down and brushed away. If you have an electric toothbrush take an adapter as there is no electric shaving sockets in the bathrooms. The owners left us homemade scones with cream and jam on our arrival and milk. Which I felt was a lovely touch. Also a card welcoming us with some great recommendations for dog walks. We felt very at home all week and the hot tub was a bonus and very relaxing. Thank for letting us stay.

  Hot tub was green and disgusting to use, had to contact the owner twice to resolve the issue as it had not been cleaned properly, so didn’t use it in the end to which is disappointing as we paid for it.

  The fact they had an engineer booked to service the dishwasher due to the misuse, from other people renting the apartment before us our holiday to which ruined our last day is disgusting, tradesmen shouldn’t be in the holiday rental until it’s vacant as we paid for privacy etc.. The main tv in the living room is terrible and won’t work properly as dated and needs replacing, so don’t expect much from this on an evening when you put kids to bed and want to relax. The owners sit back and make thousands of pounds without a care of who’s holiday they ruined, won’t be visiting again as its not as advertised and falsely advertised. Also it’s worth mentioning the pictures look like your based on the sea front, unfortunately your are not and it’s actually located in the middle of people’s garages and rear gardens so no privacy whatsoever. Enjoy your stay at An Droves the place is beautifully miss advertised.
