Elm

Very Peaceful and tranquil retreat but just a short drive to major towns.

All facilities you require are supplied. Beds very comfortable. All amenities to a high standard. We had a disabled person with us and the facilities for her were excellent. Would highly recommend this escape. The hostess was easily contactable and greeted us shortly after arrival. Directions were excellent with easy access to property.

We loved our stay at Elm - it was spacious, clean, luxurious, light and airy.

The beds and sofas were lovely and comfy so we were always well rested for our Cornish adventures. We also really appreciated the welcome pack and bottle of milk after a long journey. It is set in a stunning rural location (a deer strolled past the window as we ate breakfast!) but really close to Truro and all its amenities. Lovely and central for wider journeys around the county. The on-site cafe is also lovely and well worth a visit. We would would definitely stay here again.

Lovely clean and comfortable lodge everything you need for it to feel like home from home

We stayed at Elm in 2023 and returned in June 2025.

We had a wonderful greeting from Michelle as we did previously. The lodge itself was everything we expected but we were disappointed by the overall appearance of the site, grass had not been cutin a long time, tall weeds surrounding the lodge whereas in 2023 the grounds were well managed. Also the decking area has not been decorated in a long time and now looks very shabby.

lovely time have visited a few times now couple of things the flooring needs some attention as its sliding about and leaving gaps( trip hazard would be good to have replacment batteries for remote controls and light bulbs which are easily replaced also instructions for coffee machine would be usefull

We had a lovely stay.

The location was great for exploring Cornwall. The lodges were on a very quiet location, with lovely countryside views. Yet only a very short drive to Truro. The lodge is clean, spacious and well equipped. It has a spacious balcony to sit out on sunny days. The only downside is we found the floors really creaky, which probably isn’t an issue for most, however when putting our toddler to bed, we found it disturbed him getting in and out of the room/walking along the hall: this probably won’t bother most people’s stay though and was only a minor inconvenience of an otherwise very lovely stay

Beautiful location near Truro surrounded by nature.

It was great for a family holiday. The modern accommodation is spacious and all on one level making it very accessible. Nice and clean throughout. Overall very happy with our experience.

Very Friendly welcome from Michelle, went through everything with us and made us feel at home, Would definitely recommend a stay here,

On walking through the front door, we both said “Wow”.

Very impressive hallway and then we went into the lounge/dining/kitchen. Everything was of a high standard. The bedrooms and en suite shower rooms were impressive and the walk in shower room we renamed The Ballroom - it was huge. The kitchen was very well equipped with washing machine, tumble drier, dishwasher, fridge and freezer as well as high quality crockery, glasses, cutlery and cook wear. Couldn’t think of anything that I needed which wasn’t provided. There was even a Lavazza coffee machine with pods and a welcome pack containing Cornish shortbread biscuits, fudge and tea which was a lovely touch. The beds were extremely comfortable and provided a very good night’s sleep. The decking area provided the opportunity to sit outside in the sun - yes it did shine for the majority of our 2 week break - and enjoy morning coffee as well as entertaining friends for lunch. Michelle, the property manager, was extremely helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble for her to deal with - thank you. Would we return to Elm Lodge? You bet we would.

Fantastic lodges in a central location- not far from Falmouth, Newquay, St Ives etc.

lodges we’re certainly 5 star. Modern, spotlessly clean and everything you need for a lovely holiday. Michelle, the site Manager, was brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Our stay at elm was absolutely fantastic from the moment we arrived to the moment we left ( did not want to come home ) the owner met us on arrival and was very helpful moving some of the funiture as I am wheelchair bound and suppllying a shower chair as I left mine at home.

We found the cottage very well equipped with all the white goods you need kitchen was nice the wheel in shower was great very powerful. There was plenty of shops nearby . Would definitely book this again

The only thing I would change is the position of the television in the lounge.

It is far too high. I know there’s a trend for placing TVs high on a wall (typically above a fire place) but it only works if you are standing up (like in a pub) otherwise it’s literally a pain in the neck when trying to watch from the comfort of the settee.

A wonderful stay.

The lodge had fantastic facilities and Michelle was extremely helpful with showing us the lodge on arrival as well as imparting local knowledge. If we stay near Truro again, we will definitely book this accommodation. Thank you.

The site is located just a 5 min drive from Truro, and near to 3 main supermarkets and the town centre.

The site is very peaceful away from the main road, good for walks around the surrounding countryside - however we used it more as a base for exploring the surrounding area. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are about 40-50 min away the beaches just outside of Hayle around 30 min, the fantastic Porthcurno beach, Land’s End, and the Tin Coast a bit further - probably 1hr to 1hr 20 depending on traffic. The lodge is well kitted out with all main appliances and smart TV’s in each bedroom and the living area (not Apple TV). Enough crockery for a family, but could do with more if the dishwasher is to be used efficiently. Facilities at the site are lodges only, so bring ball games etc. we brought a Swing ball and left it up all week. The deck is nice for an evening meal / drink. We thought a great addition would be a hot tub for sunny evenings / sunsets to put the icing on the cake! All in all it met our needs, some small tweaks to make recycling easier, the decking door needed some play to close, and we couldn’t get the outside lights to work (but could just have been us!) but otherwise a very enjoyable stay to explore the surrounding area. Many thanks!

The Elm was spotlessly clean, well equipped to a high standard.

As in other reviews the floorboards do creak a lot and are loud, so if anybody is a light sleeper it can be a problem. Do to the hot weather the patio door seems to stick so is very hard to shut.

Wonderful location and accommodation.

2Nd Visit to elm really enjoyed it Quiet site easy access to local ameinties well managed and maintained no issues at all

My husband and I stayed at The Elm with my mother and it was a really lovely and quiet place to stay without being overlooked.

We were greeted by Michelle who was absolutely lovely. Everywhere was well maintained and clean inside. A fabulous lodge and perfect for our needs. The only small annoyance was the creaky floorboards that were everywhere. I found myself trying to get down the corridor figuring out where to walk to prevent creaks like Indiana Jones avoiding booby traps. Windows could have done with a clean on the outside as the view was lovely and was spoilt by the cobweb’s. However it was the countryside so I am probably being a bit picky even though the spiders were huge.

Another lovely holiday stay at Elm, this time with a friend with accessibility problems who was able to relax and enjoy the space.

Two small issues in need of attention 1) the incredibly squeaky floors 2) the beautiful picture windows in need of a good external clean. Otherwise everything fabulous

more crockery would be useful so as to use the dishwasher economically.

toilet roll holders were annoying as roll kept falling off. option for more pillows for the beds as they were a bit flat.

Our stay was all positive, very nice place, ideal for touring around Truro.

Property was we equipped in our day to day requirements. If you can add a frying pan the non stick type would do the wonders for the future visitors. We had a great time and if all ok we will be back for seconds Cham :). Wigan Lancashire

Lovely place to visit all of Cornwall but a peaceful location just outside Truro.

The accommodation was just perfect.

The manager (Michelle) was very friendly and helpful. We are completely happy

Beautiful lodge beautiful surroundings, perfect lodge for our family of 6 including 1 adult electric wheelchair user, all the utensils you could possibly need ,lots of room in the bedrooms and shower rooms ,hallway is large so as not inconvenienced when charging the chair .

thanks for a lovely holiday ,Michelle on hand to greet you when you arrive. will definitely be back thanks.

Our stay at Elm lodge was just the tonic we needed as a family, the last 12 months have been somewhat difficult but our well being has improved enormously after our holiday.

The lodge exceed our expectations, having a family member who is disabled accessibility issues can be a worry. No such worries with Elm lodge, ramp access to lodge, spacious doorways and a wonderful wet room/toilet. Also Michelle and Vinnie, lodge management, were absolute stars. Nothing was to much trouble their help and assistance made our stay 5 star. Will definitely be returning and would recommend this accommodation to anyone, especially if you have mobility issues. Again big thank you to Michelle and Vinnie

Lovely staying in Elm Great location Very quiet Lots of walks and drivable to the best spots in Cornwall Changeover was very smooth Lovely to have outdoor seating and a Woodburn I suppose a barbecue would be useful but that's all I cooked inside and we sat out We will definitely be coming back Pete

Amazing accommodation, peaceful family holiday!

! Was ideal for our 2 young children and also their elderly grandparents!! Would highly recommend!! Already booked return vist for summer 2022!!

Amazing accommodation, Ideal for any location you wish to visit all only a reasonable drive away.

Site so peaceful & quiet, we took our disabled granddaughter excellent facilities

Perfect for our family holiday.

Quiet, well presented, well equipped, comfortable, what more is there to say

The accommodation is lovely; it's modern, spacious and well equipped.

It's in a quiet and peaceful location which suited us.

lovely chalet it would of been nice to have a BBQ and some form of shade on the balcony

Overall the property was spacious, clean, and good value for money.

The three bedrooms are large with TV and the two en-suite are clean and modern. If I was to be picky they need a shaver/ electric toothbrush socket and my wife said that it would have been nice to have a full length mirror. The premises are in the middle of nowhere and the golf club is abandoned so the nearest bar and shop is a couple of miles away up a very steep road. Overall the accommodation is excellent but you are a drive away from any amenities.

Missed not having a pint glass and full length mirror

Lovely place with excellent facilities.

Exceptional!

Had a wonderful week in This lodge, very clean and spacious and very quiet surroundings perfect for a peaceful getaway and a very good location for sight seeing, We hope to return next year,

Great holiday host who simply could not do enough for us.

A fab holiday and I would highly recommend.
