“Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.”

The only negatives we had is we had to sweep and mop the floor upon arrival as it was a little dirty, not a big deal though. We had to contact reception regarding the bath and shower not working in the main bathroom. The engineer fixed the shower while we were out but the bath wasn't fixed. The plug was broken I think. My wife and son prefer baths to showers so this was a little disappointing. Apart from this it was a great holiday. Perfect location.

“It was an amazing break the accommodation was prefect, clean, prefect for families and couples.”

Would love to stay again.

Mrs Buckley September 2021

“The lodge was extremely clean when we arrived and so was the hot tub which was checked every day during our stay.”

Good location to go out and visit Liskeard and Looe and we also walked down to the village for Sunday lunch in the Highwayman pub which was nice. I would definitely recommend this lodge for a lovely relaxing stay. The position of the lodges mean that it feels very private but you also get an amazing uninterrupted view of countryside from your patio and hot tub.

“The equipment provided was of a high standard but there were no instructions for any of it.”

Dishwashers, hobs, and microwaves do not all function in the same manner and whilst we might possess them at home that's no guarantee that we can successfully operate items of a different brand without a modicum of help. We never did get the cooking hob to work and the TV had an annoying tendency to switch itself on at any time of day or night. I recognise that leaving paper instructions lying about in the midst of a Covid pandemic might be problematic but we have had 2 previous holidays this year in rented cottages where the problem was overcome. Moreover there was a drawer full of videos in the lounge area so perhaps Covid worries were not the cause of having no instructions. Having opened the top drawer of the freezer to put food in we found the freezer so iced up that the drawer would not close again so we removed it entirely. But perhaps the most annoying aspect was that the number given for enquiries and minor problems (such as that with the freezer) was permanently closed with reference to another number for "emergencies" only. Generally clean but the early discovery of an obviously used man's sock (one only) on the floor behind a bedroom door suggested that the vacuum cleaner had not been used in that vicinity.

Mrs Hammond July 2021

“As we are in a pandemic we thought the property would be deep cleaned for each booking, we were disappointed with the cleanliness, marks on kitchen units and showers not properly cleaned, As this property is sold as 5 stars we thought everything would be first class, the cushions on the outside seats were all stained, the decking was very slippery and the hot tub had a tide mark round it.”

No information given on contacts, and no information on using kitchen equipment. We were not given instructions on what to do with the bedding only towels to be left in the bath. The freezer was in need of a defrost (we didn't use it).

“The lodge was amazing.”

It had everything you needed for a short or longer stay. The welcome pack with the cleaning cloths and dishwasher tablets was very useful. The hot tub was cleaned throughout the stay a few times. The lodges were private enough, but may depend on your neighbours. We had a young family next to us, and it was no problem at all. I only marked down the comfort factor due to a couple of minor points- firstly the duvet was a 13.5 tog.. phewwwww it was a tad warm at night (a lighter summer duvet required!) and secondly one of the sofa's was a little hard after sitting on for a while. One other thing to note, the TV being connected to the internet meant that it would randomly change channels occasionally, or it would come on at night after we had gone to bed. Thankfully we quickly realised what the issue was so it didn't bother us too much. Overall, a lovely place to stay.

“Excellent log cabin with everything we needed, the hot tub was amazing.”

It was ideally located and very quiet with excellent views. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Mr Carter May 2021

“We booked this as a last minute getaway for our 5 year anniversary, and we were took back by how lovely the place was.”

Everything about it was so clean and they made us feel so welcome! We are both 21 and believe it is such a perfect place to stay for all ages. If you are looking for a relaxing retreat then we 100% recommend! Thank you for such a lovely stay.

“Such a nice little holiday cottage.”

Was very impressed with the cleanliness and in general the setup of the cottage. Have already recommended it to a few friends!

Mr Cross April 2021

“Had a lovely stay very clean and comfortable.”

We just had a couple of small issues the bedrooms get very light in the morning as the blinds float in front of the windows and are not very thick but also on our last morning had the hot tub man walking past the bedroom window while we were still in bed made us feel a bit uncomfortable didn't feel very private as he could easily see through the gaps in the blind if he wanted too also on the second night we were sat relaxing with the french doors open to see a dog on the decking and a dog walker smiling at us on the grass again didn't feel very private but apart from those small issues we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend

Dr Maccallum December 2020

“Very clean and tidy.”

Beautiful location. Exactly as described. Well equipped with coffee machine, washing machine, dishwasher, 2 bathrooms. Beautiful views. Hot tub was a great addition. Spotlessly clean

“Lovely lodge, beautifully clean and well equipped, stunning views”

Mr Rose September 2020

“Lack of shaver / electric toothbrush charging plugs is a small problem which would probably effect many people if they do not have a manual brush.”

Also the dishwasher didnt work to begin with but a friendly man from maintenance came and fixed the issue. Hot tub was Ace!.

- Mr Rose, September 2020
Mr Davies September 2020

“Second time we have stayed at number 3.”

Facilities are excellent and the property is clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished. Only one very minor irritation, the WiFi is not specific for number 3 and we found that the smart television in the lounge area would switch on, change channels, increase/decrease volume and switch to Netflix on its own. We can only assume that a smart TV in another property was interfering with ours. It was quite a shock to come home after dark following a day out to discover the tv on in the property. Minor issue though and probably easily rectified.

- Mr Davies, September 2020
Miss Beardmore August 2020

“Horizon View was a lovely place to stay, great location and views from the hot tub.”

The accommodation was very cute, however could benefit from new kitchen utensils as they kept falling apart. Overall, I would definitely book to stay again.

Mr Smale March 2020

“Fantastic place to stay and we loved every bit of it.”

The hot tub is amazing, nice and warm whilst having a glass of Prosecco. If you want a relaxing lazy stay then this place is perfect.

Miss Little October 2019

“This was our second visit to Southern Halt and was lovely to see how the site has grown.”

The plants have all matured offering more privacy and just a beautiful environment. We were lucky that neither of the lodges next to us were booked so it felt really private, but even if there had been people there they way it is set out offers privacy while making the most of the open views. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thanks for a lovely stay

The accommodation is even better than the photos. Standard of cleanliness was outstanding. Absolutely spotless. Would definitely recommend and definitely make a return trip.

Mr Simpson July 2019

“Lovely setting with spectacular countryside views.”

Very quiet and relaxing. Hot tub was a welcome bonus to relax in at the end of each day. Excellent base from which to explore all that Cornwall and Devon have to offer. Modern and very clean accommodation with all facilities provided.

- Mr Simpson, July 2019
Mr Morling July 2019

“Excellent lodge in a good location and all the facilities in the lodge were of good quality and worked as expected.”

We had a fantastic holiday and visited many of the local attractions. My only criticism of the lodge itself was that it would have been useful to have a few basic elements such as Fairy Liquid, tea towels, kitchen roll and more toilet rolls.

Ms Livingstone June 2019

“Some salt and pepper would be good”

“The accommodation was exceptional!”

So much so we booked for May next year while we were there.

Mr Humphries April 2019

“Our stay at Horizon View was brilliant!”

The lodge was as described if not better and there was no issues to report during our 4 night stay. We would 100% recommend staying there, lots of places are within a 30 minute drrve that are worth seeing. Another review mentioned Golitha Falls, what a beautiful place to visit! We are already looking at another booking with Sykes Cottages for next year purely based on just how good our stay was. Only 1 slight thing to mention was that the knives we used were blunt and could with a sharpen which in no way spolied our trip just was a bit awkward preparing dinners in the evenings. This would not put us off visiting again!

- Mr Humphries, April 2019
Mr Burnett April 2019

“The lodge was beautifully furnished and clean.”

The beds were the most comfortable to sleep on, and the view over the fields were to die for. Everything you needed was there, but the funniest thing was the TV. You put it on and it says you are connected, but gives you the Central news (Birmingham and the Midlands), and not Cornwall. The hot tub was the real star though. Very enjoyable after a hard days discoveries. There is a menu for the Old Mill Restaurant on the table, but it is a 15 minute drive from Horizon View. If you visit the Old Mill, then you are in for a treat, as the food is excellent, and reasonably priced. Sally, the lady behind the bar is lovely and friendly. If you want peace and tranquillity, then we thoroughly recommend Horizon View. Nick & Becky.

Curtis March 2019

“We recently spent two nights at this wonderful lodge and the only thing I regret is not staying longer.”

The moment we arrived at 3 Horizon View we loved it! The light open spaces and spotlessly clean rooms were just wonderful. The beds are so comfy! The one thing I would suggest though, is a tv in the twin bedroom as my son's did miss one. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need and is kept spotlessly clean. The living room was also clean and apart from everything being wonderful it really missed a rug! (Agreed this is a very minor issue) but with it being all laminate flooring it would have created a more warmer cosier space, especially during the wintery nights. Outside was just brilliant! The immaculate lawn areas and the incredible view was faultless, the hot tub was the highlight of our stay. My family and I spent many hours relaxing and chatting over the bubbles whilst enjoying the views, total bliss. The hot tub is cleaned daily and again is spotless! The whole lodge site at Southern Halt is pretty much stunning!! Absolutely immaculately kept, although we really think it would benefit from an onsite restaurant/pub as the one at stone lakes (sister site) was much further away than we thought! It was quicker to drive into Looe which was only 5minites away Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and have already recommended it to a few friends and family. We most definitely will be returning! Thank you Sykes cottages for this little beauty!

Miss Reed February 2019

“The accommodation was AMAZING.”

It was so picturesque and the inside was both modern and cosy. The beds were super comfy and we loved the robes. The only thing that slightly affected our visit was the gentleman cleaning the hot tub on the morning we were checking out. We were trying to eat breakfast and he was just outside the window the whole time. As checkout was 10am we thought he could have waited until we had left. Please feel free to print the good stuff as I think Sykes is great. The hot tub feedback is just for you guys

Mrs Burton February 2019

“Me and my partner travelled down for a quiet weekend away for Valentine’s Day , the lodge was very easy to find , it was in a nice quiet peaceful part of the town .”

Once arrived and unpacked we got straight into the jacuzzi which was amazing , especially with the stunning views ! We couldn’t fault this place at all , it had everything I could ever need and want , the lay out and decore was 5* and the place was absolutely spotless . We will definitely be returning soon :)

Miss Walker January 2019

“I can't wait to return back here, I got back yesterday and spent the evening looking at available dates for this year.”

It was such an incredible stay and I honestly didn't want to leave, I could easily live there. It was so peaceful and relaxing. It has everything that you need!! No complaints what so ever. The only thing I'd like to mention is that the blind next to the television is loose and not secured properly. We shut it fine on Friday but when my partner opened this Saturday morning it nearly hit him on the head. Also only one dressing gown had a robe but that wasn't an issue as we didn't end up wearing them. Such a well kept lodge, can't wait to come back. Many thanks for such a wonderful, welcoming stay
