Amy was great at keeping in touch and responding to messages. The location is great for exploring north Cornwall. The lodge was spacious, and had everything we needed. The hot tub was hot on arrival which was perfect! The housekeeper was very helpful and unloaded our Morrisons delivery which had arrived earlier than requested so thank you very much to him. The bar was great for a drink and to watch the flow rider. Book a massage from the spa in advance if you want one as they were fully booked!

Had a fantastic family holiday in Amy’s lodge. Had everything you would need including hot tub. Really great set up and totally clean. Noticed lots of baby “stuff” in one of the wardrobes so will return when our son and daughter-in-law’s baby arrives as it saves bringing so much
