After a days walking being able to warm up quickly with the log burner was perfect. Great location for getting to see lots of places. The only small suggestion I would have would be to have a mat by the back door for when muddy/wet paws or feet come in from the garden.

Ideal for long coastal walks, local facilities were great and the local pub is a little gem, we cannot wait to book for next year

The lodge was clean, comfortable, warm and in a lovely location. Thank you to the owners for leaving us some scones, we really enjoyed them after a long journey. We would both recommend this place to our friends if they are heading to Cornwall anytime in the near future.
