“Sunday morning at 7:30 we had no water.”

Telephoned the out of hours number (as quoted in the information pack & main reception recorded message) - this diverted into voicemail. Waited hour & half with no response. Discovered an alternative number stuck to keypad at main gate. Manager claimed not to have received our messages. We were unable to flush toilet or wash/shower. Manager later advised that pipe had disconnected but this was not resolved until the afternoon. Very unsatisfactory method in place for dealing with problems ...

Manager later advised that pipe had disconnected but this was not resolved until the afternoon. Very unsatisfactory method in place for dealing with problems. The information pack & recorded message should be updated & provide the correct out of hours number. Standard of cleaning in bedroom was poor. Dust on top of pictures & restaurant business card discovered under bed. Other than the above two issues everything was fine. The hot tub was cleaned every day & was fantastic

- Ms Lowe, September 2020
“We had a lovely time at Horizon View, the view from the Cottage & hot tub were beautiful, it was nice to see the site maintenance guy testing and treating the hot tub and on our final day he came and asked if we had finished with the hot tub?”

Then it was drained ready for cleaning & for the people arriving later that day. The bed was clean and comfortable so we slept well & the walk in shower was the best shower I’ve ever used. Horizon View gave us everything we needed for a self contained holiday & was a good jumping off point for Looe and Fowey which were only a short drive away. I would definitely recommend Horizon View & will use Sykes Cottages again.

- Mr Davis, September 2020
“Fantastic cottage in a very peaceful location.”

The hot tub was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely come back and be sure to recommend to friends.

- Mrs Sellers, August 2020
“The first nights stay was lovely.”

On the second night of our stay, we discovered the water had cut out and nothing was working. The sinks, showers and toilets did not work. I could not get hold of the general manager until the next day. When I was finally able to explain the problem, it was an hour before our checkout time. He apologised and explained he would sort out a refund for us. I have tried to contact the number I was given a number of times and I have sent an email but still have heard nothing back.

- Mr Bowden, March 2020
“Absolutely perfect retreat for me and my partner just to relax.”

The lodge was Exactly how it was listed and more. I would highly recommended for a nice couples get away. Self catering didn't even feel like self catering as we had everything we needed - Just had to bring food. Beautiful views. The hot tub is amazing with a beautiful view of the sun setting. Also had a Lovely little walk in the woods by a river.

“Was fabulous, couldn't have asked for a better time / place away”

- Mr Braden, January 2020
“This was the nicest UK holiday I have had to date.”

Spotless lodge loads of room beautiful scenery. Home from home. Have already booked to return. Love this place

- Miss Johns, January 2020
“The lodge was beautiful and the surroundings gorgeous.”

Very comfortable, relaxing and luxurious. However some finishing touches were missing. We had to supply our own toilet roll, washing up liquid and laundry detergent. We also had to buy a corkscrew. Some more towels would’ve been beneficial. Aside from that a perfect stay.

- Mr Rice, December 2019
“I enjoyed how peaceful it was.”

The location was great the only thing i would change is the windows on the roof in the bedroom i would put a blind up so in the summer you dont have the sun waking you up at 6 as its so light. In the winter for ourselves it was perfect. You could see the stars and all sorts.

- Mr Latham, November 2019
“Loved every minute of our stay plenty to do in the area even when wet.”

would recommend it as most relaxing holiday

- Mr Dodds, October 2019
“Our second visit to Southern Halt, Beautiful accommodation that is kept absolutely immaculate We will definitely be returning The only problem we had was a shortage of cups & glasses, 2 cups and 2 wine glasses, that was it!”

!

- Mr Bright, October 2019
“We had a wonderful holiday in 1 Horizon view, it was clean and modern with lovely extra touches like bathrobes and little packs of toiletries, there was also a small kitchen welcome pack with essentials and milk in the fridge.”

Sykes were great from the start with all the information needed for the holiday, we couldn’t fault it.

- Mrs Hole, October 2019
“On arrival we found the property to be clean and inviting.”

The tea and coffee was a nice gesture after a long journey too. It felt very private but we were next to the road and there was some road noise. I don’t think this would have stopped us from booking but maybe it should be mentioned in the description as it could bother some people. There are two bathrooms which was a nice surprise, his and hers lol. The main problem with this lodge is the bed, which others have mentioned too. It was so noisy, every time you moved it creaked. Please please get this sorted, it really lets the lodge down. If this was done we would definitely book this lodge again.

- Mrs Wade, September 2019
“The weather wasn't the best so we spent quite a lot more time at the lodge.”

It's absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed. The only one thing we would please urge to change is the bed, the frame is loose and it squeaks from just breathing. On one of the nights we couldn't sleep because of the noise and went to sleep on the sofa bed. Otherwise it's quiet and so peaceful and we had a lovely weekend together.

- Mr Lang, August 2019
“Lovely lodge, however the only negative was there is two sky lights in the bedroom with no blinds therefore you're awake at 4am during a summer visit.”

And the bed frame could do with changing, very unstable and wobbles from any movement.

- Miss Buckingham, June 2019
“We had the most amazing relaxing week at 1 Horizon view.”

The quality of the furnishings and facilities were fantastic and the view was spectacular. So relaxing to sit out on the decking and just take in the surroundings. The spa pool/jacuzzi was so nice! We jumped in every morning and after a long day out in the evening. The site itself was so tranquil and peaceful that you hardly knew anyone else was there, only for a few cars parked outside the lodges. We felt totally refreshed after our week there and were so sad to leave the place. We were so impressed that we booked up for a week in September. Altogether a lovely relaxing holiday in a great location to visit many attractions in Cornwall. Nice pub down in village, within walking distance and also a very handy convenience store if you haven't stocked up in Morrisons, which is only a ten minute drive away. Very impressed with the experience and how smoothly things were organised through Sykes. Plenty of information and handy tips. Many Thanks....Jim & Shirley Lee

- Mr Lee, June 2019
“Cabin was beautiful with amazing views and peaceful but bed was noisy every time ...”

Cabin was beautiful with amazing views and peaceful but bed was noisy every time you rolled over the wifi was very intermittent and lack of TV service come the evening but recommended people to go and we'll be visiting again

- Mr Gardener, May 2019
“Accommodation was beautiful!”

Great location to explore Cornwall from. A beautiful place to go and relax after our wedding.

- Miss Schult, April 2019
“The log cabin was fitted out to a very high standard everything that you needed was there We really enjoyed our stay and the hot tub at the end of the day was great.”

We would definitely come back again although we probably try the the sister site as it had a restaurant etc.

- Mr Fitzgerald, April 2019
“I think an extra toilet roll to replace the one provided would be a good touch ...”

I think an extra toilet roll to replace the one provided would be a good touch Little things like ensuring salt and pepper pots are topped up Maybe provide a small amount of washing up liquid/anti bac spray for when prepping meals/wanting to wipe sides down after Obviously, these are just small touches I would include if I was running the park, we did have an amazing time and the lodge and grounds were stunning, great job on making the lodges feel private

- Miss Church, April 2019
“We had a lovely break away at 1 Horizon View.”

Just perfect for two. There is plenty of space but there is still a really cosy feel about the place. The hot tub was an added bonus and the views from this lodge were amazing. A little bit of feedback to the owners would be that a few blankets in the living room would be beneficial as it can get a little chilly and some blinds for the velux windows in the bedroom wouldn’t go a miss to block out out the light of a morning. It’s also worth mentioning that as well as the listed facilities, there is an iron and ironing board and a hair dryer for use. There is also a second bathroom which is seen on the images, but the listing says 1 bathroom. It is also worth taking a few cleaning products, washing up liquid, disinfectant wipes, dishwasher tablets etc. as there was only 2 tea towels, 2 dishwasher tablets and a sponge left for use.

- Ms Collinge, April 2019
“I did find a few dirty areas that had not been cleaned.”

There was food reminence in the cutlery tray and some of it was dirty and unwashed. There were crumbs under the dining table and also a hair on the bed sheets. Overall we love staying here but I do think last time was better the hot tub man was at our lodge before 10 and I found that off-putting. Also didn't think it was good that the hot tub was closed on Monday morning as we might of wanted to go in it before we left. My main issue is the velux windows not having blinds. We were awake at 6.00 every day because of the light coming through which isn't what you expect or want when your on holiday. Also when we last stated and it was managed by Blue chip they left a welcome pack which had a pint of milk and bottle of wine which I thought was very nice which we didn't receive this time. We do like this lodge alot which is why we came back again but I'm not sure we would come back anymore because I don't want to be woken up by the light when we are having a child free weekend. I did call and report it and was told nothing could be done.

- Miss Prestidge, April 2019
“The lodge itself was lovely- very clean and looked after and the hot tub was amazing.”

the only thing I would suggest is maybe getting blinds to fit the windows in the roof? because in the bedroom they are right above the bed and we were awake at 6:30 every morning because of the light! but as always, these probably won’t bother most people and just a personal preference! overall was a lovely get away in a peaceful location!

- Miss Brealy, March 2019
“It was absolutely amazing, nicest break away I've ever had.”

The only down fall was it was abit cold at times as the heating was set on a certain temperature and the hot water lasted 30 mins or so in the shower and didn't fill the bath up. But other than that we loved our break away and would definitely come back again, if you'd have us :)

- Miss Hopkins, March 2019
“There was no door on shower cubicle so water came out on to bathroom floor.”

Some of the blinds in the bedroom were broken. Also could do with having a map or some form of lighting near the numbers on the lodges as we struggled to find our lodge when we first got there as was so dark.
