24 Meadow Retreat

Initially we had booked number 12 meadow retreat, but less than 48 hours before our holiday had an email from Sykes offering us 2 'suitable alternatives' as our initial booking had had a leak in the bathroom and our stay had been cancelled.

One of the suitable alternatives would've cost us £380 extra (not sure how that is a suitable alternative?) So we ended up with number 24 meadow retreat. Upon receiving booking confirmation Sykes had charged us another booking fee and removed our blue light card discount, so i contacted them and they offered to refund this money as a 'goodwill gesture' it's not really a goodwill gesture if it's money that shouldn't have been taken in the first place and no additional compensation was offered. A week and a half later we're still waiting for the refund that we were told would be going back to our initial payment card and even after contacting Sykes several times i've had no response. The customer service from Sykes has been poor and I'm very anxious about upcoming bookings we have through them. Moving onto the 24 meadow retreat, whilst it isn't what we booked or wanted for our holiday, the cabin itself was lovely, although does need a bit of TLC ripped bedding, lifting lino flooring in the entrance hallway, blood stain on the bedside lamp and a large brown stain on the curtain in the kitchen isn't quite the luxury we had hoped for. But given the stress of thinking our holiday was cancelled with less than 48 hours to go then the panic we might have to pay extra, we were just grateful to be away.

Lovely place to stay, everything was clean and came with a bottle of milk and some basics to get you going (coffee, tea, sugar, dishwasher tablets, soaps, etc.

). This is my first time staying in this cabin but I have stayed previously in other cabins, all of them are excellent and I would recommend to anyone. One small point for improvement is the lock on the front door needs some attention you have to put quite abit of effort into pushing the handle up to be able to lock the door, I was a little worried about damaging the door handle sometimes.

We had a great time, the accommodation was as listed and very comfortable.

The hot tub was private and hidden. The nearest supermarket was 5-10 minutes away. There's Netflix, Amazon, Now TV etc. I'd recommend signing out of them before you come here so you can use them (and sign out when you leave

September 2024 The weather was lovely and sunny all week.

It was lovely to go in the summer as normally we come in November. The only downside we found was there was no coffee table as shown in booking so nowhere to place drinks only on the floor if sitting on the sofa - and breakfast bar stools was again different to brochure - not adjustable or very comfortable to sit on whilst eating or playing board games / cards of an evening after dark. We went and brought a folding table to use for this purpose and use the poofies to sit on as was more comfortable. We do appreciate that things need to be replaced as and when. It maybe an idea at some point to add a small lamp for lounge in the evening as only ceiling lights as such. Having said all that we did have a lovely stay and otherwise accommodation was just as it states perfect. Thanks for a lovely break away.

Our third year at Meadow Retreat.

A different lodge this time. Good outdoors space not used due to the weather. Good facilities. Comfortable although the bathroom was small. Liked the split levels.

The most lovely stay in a beautiful and quiet lodge!

It was absolutely perfect, there were a few small niggles but nothing that negatively impacted our stay. We would definitely rebook this lodge for another break! The team were fabulous letting us know that our lodge was ready early and checking in on us during our stay to ensure we were happy! We couldn’t recommend this place highly enough

Property was excellent, as was the Customer Service from Sykes The Property owners were very obliging too.

An overall first class experience Thanks.

Had a wonderful stay in Cornwall in Oct ‘23.

The chalet is ideally located and comfortable after long days seeing the area. Brilliant for a staycation. Had a couple of little niggles, i.e with surround sound not working as it should in the cinema room, but that’s just being picky. Looking forward to going back next year.

Spent a week at Dobwalls and stayed at 24 Meadow Retreat, the cabin had absolutely everything including sauna outside spa bath gym with a bike and rowing machine and to top it all a cinema room, although the dvd player was unfortunately missing the remote control.

It was brilliant and Dobwalls is central to lots of attractions without having to travel too far. Hopefully we will return definitely worth staying here it's great

Fantastic, comfortable, well equipped cabin very enjoyable stay only a couple of points which could have made it even better.

Toilet installed too close to the wall (left side when sitting) you hit the roll holder when sitting hence why it was hanging off the wall. Unable to use the cinema room as I don’t have Netflix or the like, there were no dvd’s or any other way to watch films.only able to watch films in the living room as a previous customer had left their Netflix signed in. Thank you “nip slip”

Very enjoyable break in a peaceful location.

The property had everything that was needed for my needs, in fact it had more.

First impressions on arriving was amazing and very happy we chose this lodge.

Over the week we settled in and found all the facilities accommodating and enjoyable so well done. To be picky a couple of things were disappointing The toilet floor was noisy and got to be annoying and bad smells from time to time from drains.the sink had greasy marks. No table in the lounge to play cards etc as the stools didn't sit flat on the floor as they were sat across the carpet.had to sit at each end of breakfast bar.1 foot rest has been bent down and could lead to breaking off. The sofa was worn out and uncomfortable The TV room was a great idea but the led around the walls didn't work and the sound bar didn't play through the TV only through Bluetooth which was pointless Outside decking needed an outside brush to clear away all the branches from the seating area,instead we had to use the inside soft brush.why was this not cleared before arriving and outside glass cleaned and not left green. The bath was left with grease marks as not cleaned. You may need to lubricate the front door as getting very stiff on mechanism. Overall we had a good stay and a great holiday

A very private, comfortable and warm lodge; some dilapidation is evident ~ a few areas require ‘housekeeping’ attention (dusty blinds, smeared windows)… Importantly, beautiful Cornish winter weather for this adhoc get away!

PS: The site staff are friendly (new onsite reception office is a positive addition). Thank you.

This lodge was an ideal getaway for a relaxing break away.

It has everything you need, and was clean and warm, with beautiful views over the fields from the lounge and decking area. A short drive from Looe. We had a wonderful winter holiday.

Absolutely loved our stay, very clean, everything we needed, great location, comfortable, literally my only negative is that I didn't realise there were any steps in the property, I think it would be helpful if that was mentioned, I am disabled so found the steps a challenge sometimes, fortunately my husband is my carer so helped me when needed, but it didn't stop us from having a lovely time and I would recommend the property to anyone, and I think needless to say we loved the cinema room, such a great touch.

The tub outside was lovely, but took a long time to fill, but was definitely worth it when in it ☺️ overall a great time and would return

An absolutely wonderful place to stay through rain, cold and sunshine.

. Just a minor problem in not finding instructions for the Sauna or Jacuzzi. Look forward to returning

Other than a couple of things that needed sorting which was dealt with the property owner and manager, who were very quick with replies and very helpful.

The overall stay was lovely, everything we needed for a relaxing time away. The cinema room was our favourite bit of the lodge along with the jacuzzi bath outside. We would definitely come back and recommend

The outside area perfect.

However I booked this expecting a hot tub. It was only after booking that I realised it was an outside bath. The lodge is lovely, very spacious. We did feel that a coffee table would have been nice. Also a dressing table would have been very useful. We had a lovely break and really enjoyed the lodge, the cinema room was fantastic. We just felt that a few little touches could have made it feel a little more luxurious.

Very well maintained

Such a lovely trip, great accommodation and facilities.

Would definitely recommend and come back again! Only small things to note is the plug in the bath doesn’t seem to work too well, so had to twist it instead of pushing. No chopping board supplied & led lights in cinema not working. Otherwise an amazing place!

Brilliant short term stay with a good location for bird watching!

Peaceful and quiet. The sauna and jacuuzi were a lovely touch, the gym was adequate but the bike machine seemed to only be big enough to sit one butt cheek on (and I'm pretty slim) rendering it unusable. Overall a very good stay.
