Snaptrip says
Guests consistently praise the lodge for its immaculate condition, well-equipped amenities, and the privacy and safety of the grounds. The serene and secluded setting is perfect for both families and couples, with a hot tub adding to the relaxation. While some minor issues with maintenance and comfort are noted, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many looking to return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its spotless condition upon arrival. The grounds are also well-kept, contributing to the overall clean and tidy impression.
The location is appreciated for its peacefulness and privacy, though some guests note the lack of horizon views and the growth of shrubs and trees affecting the openness. The site is well-situated for exploring Cornwall.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with the lodge being spacious and well-presented. However, some guests find the beds and pillows too soft, and there are comments about the gloominess inside on less sunny days.
Facilities are well-regarded, with the lodge being equipped for guests' needs. Maintenance issues such as a broken toilet flush and non-working outside lights are mentioned, but the hot tub is a standout feature, despite some comments on the jets.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
Sitting at the head of the spectacular water feature that meanders through Faraway Fields in Dobwalls, Cornwall, is this delightful, detached home, 15 Horizon View, occupying a simply stunning location for a family of four. Three sets of French doors lead from the open-plan living space providing level access to the garden with extensive decking lying on two sides of the property, a luscious wrap-around lawn, and a hot tub, privately screened yet positioned for sunshine. The living space is light and airy and stylishly designed, featuring plush seating, a dining area, and a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for rustling up and enjoying mealtimes. From both the home and decked area there are wonderful far-reaching views towards the surrounding countryside, recommended to enjoy before venturing to one of two bedrooms, including a double with TV and en-suite, and a twin. During your stay you may fancy venturing up the North Coast to Padstow, Rock Polzeath or Port Isaac, however if you would rather stay closer to home, nearby Bodmin Moor offers endless walking opportunities as does the South West Coast Path, or nearby Liskeard offers extensive shopping and other facilities depending on your interests. Guests can enjoy the bar and restaurant at our sister site, Stonerush Lakes, which can be found a short drive away. Gather your loved ones at 15 Horizon View.

So much better than anticipated. It was such a quiet location which is what we wanted and the dogs enjoyed sniffing around on their walks where the wild rabbits had been. Our hot tub was topped up and extra cleaning took place regularly. We loved finding all the local facilities with a shop a few mins drive away, take aways 10-15 mins drive and a great location to explore Cornwall. For me, the mattresses were a little soft which caused some discomfort but that is a personal thing and not the fault of the owners of the lodge, we cannot be the same. But overall, a really fantastic holiday with everything in the lodge that you will need.

Horizon 15 was perfect for us, it is not overlooked by other lodges and you have your own private garden area which is just so lovely to sit and relax outside, as well as sitting in the hot tub. If privacy is one of your musts, then this is the perfect lodge. The grounds are immaculate, well maintained and clean. Tracey on reception has amazing customer service. She called ahead to inform us that our lodge was ready early if we wanted to arrive earlier then expected, she followed up the day after to see if our lodge and stay was going well etc. The lodge itself was bright and extremely clean and comfortable. Can not fault our stay at all. If we were to nit pick, then we would say that the jets in the hot tub arnt that great, but this did not put us off from rebooking.
