2 Water's Edge

First visit since Covid & all is as it was (which is a good thing) This site is off grid in nearly every sense of the word which suits us fine.

Yes there is a narrow lane to enter the site but it's passable in numerous places so don't let those comments put you off. We love the peace & quiet, the birds & the fact my mobile doesn't work ha ha. Within half hour you have Looe, Polperro Fowey and much, much more! The Hot Tubs are magic overlooking the water & very enjoyable day or night. Water's Edge 2 was a new lodge on us this visit. More overlooked than others we have stayed in but ok. Prefer the lodges that have the bedrooms overlooking the lake too. If you enjoy cooking then the equiptment was very poor in this Lodge. Very cheap for a 5 star Accomodation. Hob completely tempermental but we managed without the main burner. Would we return - definately but not this Lodge as prefer more privacy.

The location is great for accessing many Cornwall attractions and the holiday park itself is very thoughtfully designed with ecology and peace prioritised.

Staff at the resort were also so friendly. My only negative comment would be the furniture on the decking was a bit tired so could use replacing but everything else was spectacular and it felt like a home from home with everything catered for.

Property good amenities but the place needs a refresh.

Some mold in bathrooms, lifting floors due to water leak,

We had a lovely 10days as a family of 4 and a dog.

The waters edge gave us beautiful views over the lake and the hot tub was a relaxing treat at the end of the day. The property had everything we needed and was very clean. Only issue was the broken off slats on the blind in the en-suite bathroom which we managed to cover for privacy so not a major problem. Nicely decorated throughout and the beds were very comfy. The road in was not for the faint hearted and the corners on such a narrow road could cause incidents if drivers don’t take extreme caution and also us the small junction correctly which some didn’t. The site was very well maintained and beautiful to walk around. The restaurant and bar served very good food and staff were very welcoming. Supermarket was 20 min away and we spent most days driving out to explore the stunning coastline and beautiful towns. This was are first experience of a Cornwall holidays and Over all it was well worth it.

We really enjoyed our stay.

Nothing else to say.

We loved our cottage at Water's Edge, Stone Rush in Lanreath, Cornwall, where we stayed for 3 nights.

It had a lovely view over the lake and spacious living/dining area. The shower was great really powerful and the hot tub was in working order and easy to get into/out of. It is great for dogs too as it has a closed terrace, and there are some lovely walks around the area. I did ask for some advice on woodland walks in the reception and was recommended to go to Cardinham Woods just a 15/20 minute car drive away. We had a great walk with the dogs and some amazing wood land views. There are several walks you can do there, we did a 4.3km walk and it was moderate incline, but there are longer and shorter walks varying from easy to hard. So something to suit everyone and there is a café where you can get refreshments after your walk. Please do bare in mind that you have to pay for parking. We also visiting Polperro, Looe and Lantic Bay & Beach all within easy reach (by car). You will need a car to get around this area though. We had dinner onsite at the restaurant on our final evening and took the dogs with us which was no problem. The restaurant was so lovely furnished and cosy and the food was great as was the service. I would highly recommend this area for couples (with/without dogs) and families as long as you have a car and are happy to drive around and see the countryside and small villages. There is plenty to do and it is a stunning area. The only thing I could have asked for is better weather as it rained almost all the time when we were there, but it didn't stop us going out and about. Just bring waterproofs as lots of mud around.

We had the best stay we could have imagined, the chalet was unreal!

It had everything we could have wished for and no expense was spared with the cleanliness and what the chalet offered! We literally had everything we needed in there. The log burner was really nice! The hot tub was very clean and maintained also! The site is really nice with a nice pub/restaurant on site, and it is extremely nice to walk around. We Honeslty couldn’t have asked for anything better for the price and we are already looking at re-booking! Thank you!

We have stayed in 2 Waters Edge a number of times and love the location

Beautiful lodge in amazing setting.

We felt very welcome from the moment we arrived very late at night and saw our lodge was lit up for our arrival. We cant wait to rebook later this year. Our cocker spaniel loved looking out at the ducks on the lake after a lovely walk. Sally, Martha and the team were always on hand to assist with any query. We also wanted to thank Amanda in the old mill for here very kind hospitality.

Beautiful place to stay- will most certainly be back again!

Both myself, my partner and our dogs didn’t want to leave! If I was being extremely picky, the bin could do with replacing and the mattress was a little springy however this was very insignificant compared to what a lovely stay we had here, have already recommended to many friends!!

We absolutely love this place and it’s the second time we have stayed.

It’s so clean and peaceful here. The Old Mill Restaurant is fantastic. The staff are wonderful and make you feel so welcome. The food is the best. Thank you for making our stay amazing. Can’t wait to return, Cheryl, Steve and Max the dog x

No2 Water's Edge was excellent.

Very spacious and had everything needed for our break. Being autumn there were loads of leaves around but the hot tub was still spotlessly clean. Only one thing to note was the very squeaky double bed. Apart from that, it's a fantastic place.

This was a lovely property , well equipped, and very clean and tidy.

The view from the balcony was exceptional and the visiting shoal of carp provided us entertainment each morning. We even managed a dip in the hot tub ,in the rain !. All in all a lovely short break made complete by the fine accommodation, spotless grounds and very helpful staff. We hope to return soon.

Everything was absolutely perfect for us.

You can’t expect absolute immaculate cleanliness when you are allowing people to have pets but it was still lovely and clean for us and our dog. There were far more facilities for us to use in our cottage than we could use i.e dishwasher and washing machine etc. We were very very comfortable and happy with our stay and will be definitely returning. Thank you.

Cabin was filthy, the dining table was full of grease which we couldn't fully remove, must have been there for months.

The dishwasher doesn't work properly, looks like the heating element has failed some time ago. This meant all the pots in the cabin were dirty and we had to spend the first few hours cleaning. Beds are uncomfortable, very hard, door handles havent been repaired since last time we stayed. Blinds have been broken in the bathroom meaning there's clear visibility from outside. There has been little to no maintenance, which is a shame as we love the cabin and the site. This is the 4th time we've stayed in No.2 lake side and it isn't usually like this, but maybe it's time for a change

Overall excellent weekend we had here.

Very clean and tidy. Lovely hot tub on the lake edge was perfect. The only thing Iv marked down was the cleanliness - some of the kitchen plates, sauce pans and cutlery were not clean and still had dried old food on them, Looked like the dishwasher didn’t get it completely clean and the last people in most likely put them away dirty - really wasn’t expect to have to wash things before we could use them but besides that - loved our weekend here and not a reflection on the lodge

The fridge door bottle holders were missing The wire on the deck was broken and the lowest strand was flapping Sally from reception was amazing pre holiday call to make sure we knew the details and a follow up call to check we had enjoyed our stay

Wonderful setting on the lake, very peaceful.

We enjoyed our stay. A few improvements to mention; a couple blinds had bits broken off and is in need of repair. The bed was uncomfortable, both myself and my husband had bad backs when we woke up. The drive way needs looking at, our car kept skidding when trying to reverse up it.

Everything was exactly as advertised, we had a lovely time at stonerush lakes, a real wild life haven too, if that is what you are looking for, then this is the place to be.

The facilities are warm and very comfortable, the sunken hot tubs are a lovely addition to the lodges too, the onsite Bar and restaurant are absolutely fabulous, and would strongly recommend a visit.

We have just come back after spending a week at Stonerush lodges.

We had a fantastic week. Location is perfect. So many places to visit and not too far away. The lodge was perfect, had everything we needed, beds very comfortable. Views on the decking were gorgeous. Lodge was lovely decorated. If I had to be really picky, I would of liked abit more outdoor lighting( just for night time and letting the dog out) but it has been perfect and we are already pricing up for a return next summer.

Good points: 1/ Park setting excellent.

2/ Lodge setting excellent 2/ Excellent relaxing stay, barring the early wake up's due to light in the bedroom Things to Improve: 1/ The entire park is very badly lit up. Hardly any lights in the night time, if walking the dog. One or two solar lights might work on a certain evening / night. Can do with some fixed mains lightings on roads. 2/ The lodge itself is beautiful, but the choice of placing a the Velux in the bedroom not a good choice. Due to which you get the light in the bedroom so early in the morning. 3/ The windows are long & no way you can keep them open at night for some air on warm nights. 4/ Wooden blinds & netted curtains on the windows no good for summers when you are trying to sleep & so much light coming through the windows along with the velux from the roof. Can do with some thick curtains. 5/ The bathroom didnt need that long windows & the glass not being obscure, it doesn't feel very comfortable in the bathrooms while showering etc. Add to that some broken pieces from the blind, the condition can be bit more concerning. The points mentioned above could be specific to this lodge. Overall an excellent park & stay & would be even amazing with these few improvements to the park & the lodge!

Could have done with a broom/dustpan and brush.

Outdoor furniture needs updating. Beds were comfortable and both showers were amazing! Had everything you needed and was very peaceful, we had a great week and would definitely return and recommend.

Beautiful setting, clean well equipped and the hot tub was maintained daily as promised.

Restaurant and bar on site, friendly staff and food was good. You would need a car for this holiday and expect to drive everyday as nothing in walking distance. However walks around the lakes were stunning and the whole area was beautifully maintained

This property was clean and cozy!

The lodge had everthying you would need for cooking.... absolutely loved the view of the lake from our window and decking the was the fish were amazing! The whole park is very well kept and very clean! The workers are friendly and happy to help!

All in all, we have enjoyed our holiday.

Regarding the lodge, the kitchen and the bathrooms are great, the view absolutely lovely but the lounge furniture was uncomfortable, the terrace had very dated and broken wooden furniture with faded cushions which was such a shame. The double bed was comfortable (but it is a shame it's not a little bit bigger, we have a superking at home and it was very hard to get used to a small space). The twin bed mattresses very uncomfortable. There's Wifi in the lodge but we were not allowed to use the lodge's personal, secured one, we had to use the unsecured one from the site as we had absolutely no reception on our mobile phones (Vodafone) so could not use our data. That was really disappointing. ALso, it would have been lovely to find a booklet (or even a single sheet) of basic instructions (eg telly/washer/drier etc) and also recommendations for local attractions/restaurants. The site is lovely and well maintained. We didn't get to try the restaurant, we had 2 meals booked there and also a takeaway and they cancelled all three. Someone had tested positive and apparently they all had to self isolate and close the restaurant, even after the 16th Aug.

On the listing they said don't forget dvds but we didn't have a dvd player, the washing machine wouldn't dry washing.

The dishwasher worked twice then it wouldn't, the mouldy shower head was disgusting, the double bed was uncomfortable. The sky light didn't have a blind so when it was 6 am the total light woke you up. The patio chair arm was missing a bolt, the was no broom to sweep up outside

We have had a amazing holiday, great setting shame the restaurant closes 2 days per week but considering the price we paid the lodge itself is looking very tired, the outside with wire fencing we found totally unhelpful and less than useless with the dogs and couldn’t let them out, some other lodges had glass which would be much more dog friendly.

The furniture was old and one lounger was broke and held together with a cable tie which broke. Inside the beds are very comfortable but the sofas were so uncomfortable, the dish washer didn’t clean the dishes, lots of pairing hooks on the walls but no painting and we packed DVDs to fine no player but a excellent TV with Netflix access, so that needs updating on your description. All in all we did have a wonderful stay but expected more given the price

We had a lovely relaxing week and will return.

Base of shower door was grubby.

Paintwork very grubby/old. Considering price paid for 3 nights I felt poor in relation to a tatty small box with teabag/ coffee, mixed in with dishwasher tablets, very strange! Shower gel available in main bathroom but not in en-suite..why? No washing up liquid, hand soap or basics to tide one over. Simple things too like a clock in lounge that doesn’t work, log burner with wood but no fire lighters. I own a holiday let in Bournemouth and have a basket with tea/coffee/chocolate/biscuits/bottled water etc for guests arrival (esp handy if arriving late at night). Supply 5 dishwasher tablets and washing machine tablets. I felt you are basing your price purely on location and hot tub, but the general standard of the mobile home I would say is not up to scratch by any means. I was writing to you this afternoon to inform you of all this but I have your form now! This is before holiday season gets going so not a good start. Kitchen drawer handle not fixed properly. Another point, you advertise the restaurant on site as being open for outside dining and takeaway. Having a stressful job I was looking forward to not driving for a few days. On arrival I was told the restaurant was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, we arrived Monday pm and were leaving Thursday So no good at all! This meant we had to go out in the car each day for meals we didn’t intend to have this costing us a lot more money which was mis representation of the facilities at the property. This needs to be re checked and brought upto a really good standard if you want people to visit in the future.

Relaxing holiday would recommend this location each time we are going to book again in the near future.

What a perfect hidden paradise!

Such a beautiful setting and the perfect relaxing get away. Certain aspects of the lodge are starting to look a little tired and the dish washer was pretty useless. Other than that, a very comfortable and relaxing week.

Absolutely lovely and peaceful setting.

Extremely relaxing. Would definitely visit again. If you want to get away from the hustle this is the place to visit.

Exactly how it was described great location.

Good place to go and switch off for a while

An excellent lodge for a relaxing break, would certainly stay again On site facilities good, very helpful & friendly staff at the Old Mill, and excellent restaurant Lodge would benefit from an update of decking furniture, nothing major, just some new seat cushions which could be stored inside for visitors use.

It looks like they are left outside in all weathers so are not in great condition Although lodge was very clean, some of the kitchen items needed a re-wash before use. Often an issue with self catering properties, where everything tucked away in cupboards cannot be checked thouroughly on every changeover. Appreciate that not every visitor will be cooking meals so some pans etc are not used regularly.

There is absolutely no phone signal or WiFi in this lodge.

Lovely bright accommodation with a few things that let it down. The outside furniture was unusable dirty and covered in mould, in fact the whole decking area was in poor repair. Decking was sodden due to not being sealed. Constant dripping from gutters after rain due to leaks kept you awake at night. Beds were uncomfortable too soft, but that is personal preference rather than a complaint. We did visit the restaurant and would not recommend. I had lamb off the specials board, can’t remember how it was described on the board but it definitely did not describe it as tiny tough pieces of lamb and bone in a watery salty sauce served with greens, think it was cabbage, in a white sauce with mash. My partners meal was slightly better but not great. There was a note in the lodge asking you to let them have a chance to put any problems right. Considering someone in August complained about patio furniture and it’s still the same, they obviously take no notice. Would I stay again ? For the money the answer would have to be no.

I think it is important to point out that there is actually no available internet connection and very poor/no signal on mobile devices unless you are stood in or at The Old Mill reception.

The lodge was relatively clean but could have done with a spruce up. If you love budget IKEA, then you will love all the fixtures and fittings. The cushions on outside chairs had been left out and were actually green and mouldy. The decking and balustrade in a poor state of repair. Most functions worked on the hot tub although one didn’t and if you adjusted several of the jets you would find they came off in your hand. Although this did give you something to do while relaxing trying to get them to stay back in. We did venture to the Reception. Was met by a very blunt and quite frankly rude lady, who seemed to work all week. If I pay for a bottle of beer, once she could be bothered to tell me what they sell I don’t expect for what was left in the bottle to be thrown because it didn’t fit in the glass! On another occasion ordering an Americano coffee I was greeted by what’s that.......and why do people call drinks what they like....just ask for what it is. They have a proper coffee machine, I would expect them to know, as this is a very standard name for a black coffee. My partner an I never felt welcome at all, but she may like you as seemed to depend on who you were. The locations and layout are really nice of the lodges, not overlooked and very private.

The cottage was good and it was exactly as described.

It is a nice quiet location and the view over the lake was lovely. The little welcome package was useful and the kitchen had everything you needed. Hot tub was a really lovely treat and the parking was perfect for two cars. The only downsides were for us, the cottage was way too hot even though the central heating was turned right down and although I appreciate we were bringing dogs and wouldn’t expect it to be spotless, there was a lot of dog hair on the floors and sofas. The only other thing is that we had a crawling baby with us and the deck that overlooks the river is only fenced off with wire rather than a hard barrier. It wasn’t a problem but just something to be aware of!

A great location, lodge well equipped.

No wifi or telephone signal in lodge however available in Old Mill.

Really lovely lodge.

Clean and well equipped. Lots of nice touches (nice set of mini toiletries in each bathroom, dressing gowns, welcome package). All mod cons and luxury feel added to with the lovely hot tub. Which we made good use of. Outdoor furniture could do with an update or fresh cushions that aren't left outside. Great for peaceful retreat. Comfortable and spacious. We did't eat at the restaurant but food looked lovely and staff very friendly. Nice to chill for a bit in the evening, play pool and grab some wifi time. In the day people tend to hover outside or go into the restaurant/bar to pick up the signal when needed. There's no wifi in the lodge which the details do say. What the details didn't make clear is there is zero phone signal in the lodge. Can feel a bit isolating. Don't trust sat nav! It is well signposted from the main road (B3359) heading towards Pelynt (we just used the spar shop in Pelynt as our satnav point to get on the right road while we got our bearings and it's less than a 5 min drive from there). Look for the wind turbine and you'll see the signs with the turning for Stonerush Lakes. Would definitely recommend and return. Thank you

Lovely site and surroundings.

Lodge was comfortable and clean. Restaurant food excellent friendly helpful staff.

The lodge was clean and beautifully placed right on the lake, very peaceful which is what we wanted.

The hot tub guys coming every day anywhere between 9 - 4.30 were a pain and sometimes awkward. The veranda area was secure for a dog, but having a small dog the gaps between the wire fencing were too wide for us. The veranda furniture was very old and needs updating. At times there was a drainage smell outside the lodge.

Great well run and very scenic site, with friendly and helpful staff.

Our lodge location was fantastic, in the trees right on the lake edge with frequent visits from the local wildlife. Old mill bar and grill served good food and drinks at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended, we will return.

Booked Stonerush for my parents, they absolutely loved it and are planning to return.

It is set in a beautiful location, offering a tranquil experience. My parents said the food at the Old Mill was very good, and the alcohol was very cheap. They had a lodge on 'waters edge', and my Mum loved sitting on the decking watching the ducks and fish go by. I am planning to book a hol myself!

A very well presented lodge set in incredibly beautiful surroundings.

thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will definitely return in the future.

Had a great time in the WaterSide cabins.

Entered into a beautiful, modern, open, spacious cabin equipped with all the luxeries you want including; a balcony with fabulous views, log burner, TV, WiFi, and a fully kitted out kitchen including a dishwasher which great (who wants to do dishes on holiday)? The hot tub was perfect on the night, with the perfect temperature for the chilly nights and amazing views of the stars and surrounding landscape. The staff were very friendly and drinks were reasonably priced with an additional 20% off drinks during certain times. The food was also tasty for the nights you dont want to cook! Walking around the grounds was very scenic and I recommend walking around the lakes. Had a great time and we really valued the privacy we had from other visitors and staff, whilst knowing they were only a seconds walk away.
