“Floor not cleaned under the sofa a lot of dust and fluff etc - Please do not put this bit in to be published for general public this is just for cleaners info.”

You can publish this piece onwards though This was a lovely place very peaceful and ideal place for a break to unwind near the coast, ideal location. Hot tub was a big hit. Very relaxing break!

- Mr Bowden, September 2019
“We had a fabulous week, despite the weather.”

The lodge was amazing and was ideal for our family. The site was really quiet and in a great location for the local attractions. Thank you

- Mrs Williams, August 2019
“Brilliant lodge in fantastic setting, really enjoyable holiday despite the weather.”

There was a few minor things that if addressed would make it perfect. In the main bathroom the 'pump' is really noisy, particularly at night, I raised it with the maintenance company but they informed me had tried to fix it previously but couldn't stop it being noisy! Being a dog friendly lodge it would have been useful to have a gate on the decking similar to no. 14. The bin/recycling bins weat the entrance to the site, however there were bin stores located throughout the site with no bins in them

- Mr Bater, August 2019
“The accommodation was excellent, everything of a high standard.”

The hot tub was kept clean everyday by the pool boy. Any maintenance issues were dealt with promptly. The area was superb, beautiful view and very quiet. It could be improved by small things such as a bottle opener, chopping boards in the kitchen. Also towel rings for the hand towels in the bathrooms. All the patio doors would befit from restrictors so could stay open on windier days without being propped by chairs. Additionally a gate across the outside steps would keep the property safe and secure for toddlers and dogs.

“This holiday was for my husbands 70th and for our 14 year old dog we enjoyed the lodge very much the views were fantastic the pond and ducks a bonus loved seeing them the lodge had everything we wanted our dog had his own room.”

We enjoyed the evenings in the hot tub ideally placed very private. We enjoyed an evening out for my husbands 70th at The Old Mill at stonerush lakes which was recommended and our dog was aloud to be with us loved the food and service. All in all our time in Cornwall and at the lodge was fantastic.

- Mrs Smith, July 2019
“It was lovely, however we didn't like the flying mini ants!”

On Sunday the lodge and us were covered in them, making it very uncomfortable and itchy. We left Sunday because of this.

- Mrs Munt, July 2019
“We had the most amazing and much needed relaxing break.”

The who area and property was immaculate and of a great standard

- Mrs Lumb, June 2019
“This is our third visit to Faraway Fields now and our first booking through Sykes Cottages and it was a really great experience especially having the AP with all of the information of the property before we went which was so handy.”

We have had a lovely holiday and will definitely be booking again.

- Mrs Odell, June 2019
“More toilet roll.”

Kitchen roll, salt and pepper would be nice to have as well

- Ms Croft, May 2019
“Top drawer lodge, only complaints were the missing bottle opener and bread knife - hardly critical to holiday happiness.”

We had a fabulous time, great location with amazing open views without the loss of privacy. Highly recommended

- Mr Forster, May 2019
“It was absolutely beautiful, we loved the openness of the lodge and fitted all 6 adults, plus dog, more than comfortably.”

The hot tub is a great feature that added to the relaxation of our stay! My only small issue was that the blinds in our bedroom (one of the double single bed rooms) were very thin and therefore we were woken up very early due to it being so light outside and the blind letting it all in. We also ran out of toilet paper which we weren’t prepared for and there wasn’t any in reserve in the lodge which was surprising seeing as there was a pleasant attention to detail everywhere else. It would have also been great if there was a gate on the decking from where you exit the lodge to the cars, so that the dog would be able to roam freely without escaping which did happen once or twice. Only minor things however and definitely wouldn’t stop us from staying again :) We absolutely loved it and never wanted to leave!

- Miss Lee, May 2019
“The holiday lodge was very clean upon arrival, including all appliances and it proved to be very comfortable for our week long stay.”

However there were a few things that could be improved upon. The distance to the bins for disposal of waste is rather inconvenient, more drop off points would help. The lodge was listed as having Wifi, very important for keeping in touch with work and for keeping little ones entertained in the evenings. However, this was not working for days at a time. Multiple phone calls had to be made to chase this up and was difficult to get anyone to answer the phone. A gate to secure the outside terrace is in my opinion a necessity, especially for families with young children and in such close proximity to a large pond. We also needed a travel cot for our stay which was present in the lodge. However, it was only by chance prior to our arrival that I rang to ensure that one was available that I was told no mattress or linen is provided for this cot. I have stayed in lodges elsewhere where this came as standard so I was surprised by this and no doubt it will catch some people out.

- Ms Sewell, May 2019
“We have stayed at Southern Halt on at least 4 previous occasions so know what to expect.”

We love the views and the way that the rooms are filled with light. It was the first time that we had stayed in 15 Faraway Fields and it has the benefit of decking protruding over a small lake - idyllic!

- Mr Cowling, March 2019
“The lodge was amazing set overlooking a beautiful view!”

no hassle of checking in and out! very spacious, clean and had everything we needed for a girly hot tub weekend, will be booking again very soon

- Miss Coombes, March 2019
“This is my first time staying ere and in a log cabin.”

Wow just wow the view the cabin it sell. The area was lovely and because i was travelling all over cornwell. It was very central as well. I will be going again but nexy time 7 days for sure.

- Mr Hendren, March 2019
“Dressing gowns would of been handy with the hot tub with walking back and forth and privacy glass around hot tub.”
