“We had a great stay here in July 2025, we stayed for a full 7 days, which in reflection was too long in such a small space, but we agreed it is perfect for a long weekend or a few days.”
Estelle and her husband were so helpful prior to our arrival, answering my many questions etc. When we arrived, we had to phone Estelle's husband who came out from the farm and directed us as we got a little lost and he was so kind. I would say, if we had of known the very narrow road we had to drive down each time we wanted to leave the lodge and head out and return, we may have avoided, prior google maps search of this may give you an idea. Each time we were stuck behind a tractor or had to pull to the side as much as we could to let the locals past as they are so used to the road (and fast) for us, it was a bit scary, especially at night. If this doesn't bother you, then don't hold back. Yes it is close to Wadebridge, but preferably we wished we'd of booked closer to the coast (this is just a personal preference and not a reflection of the lodge)
We asked for extra toilet roll in the week and Estelle did give us 1, but we had to go the supermarket to buy more, as well as sponges for cleaning the dishes, only a J cloth was provided. If you are frequent toilet users (husband struggles with IBS) or need this for time of the month, take more with you.
We loved using the hot tub, Estelle had it ready when we arrived. But we could never get the temperature right, as it powered by log burners. It was either too hot or too cold, our own experience but found this limited us to jumping in whenever we wanted. A hose pipe is provided too, which we used to cool it down.
We had the very best views of all 3 lodges, one Morning I even spotted a wild deer running across the field, as well as many birds and wildlife. The family cat said hello too. We loved hearing the cows in the farm too, we even spotted the hurd one Morning off to be milked, it was great watching this. The lodge was beautiful and so sweet, beautiful small details to make it homely. It was very well kept and our friends and family loved the photos they thought it was so cute.
On the whole we had a great holiday, but as the lodge is small it lacked indoor relaxing spaces, other than the bed, like a sofa. Although plenty of seating outside for relaxing too, as well as table and chairs.
We probably wouldn't return, purely location wise, but would reccomend for shorter breaks, which the other lodges around us seemed to be doing.
Thank You Estelle and family.
