“What a great location, private and quiet.”

...

The area surrounding the Southern Halt is beautiful; a local Spar shop and pub in the village proved handy. Liskeard is only a short drive away for everyday essential shopping/items. The property is spacious and in good condition; some signs of early ‘wear and tear’, nothing major though. I understand the property is almost one year old. The windows require an urgent clean, both inside and out. Various hand marks/smears and spider/fly webs are present... The kitchen area is well equipped and relatively clean, various smudges and unnecessary cloth smears across the stainless steel items. NB. The toaster is broken (two of the four slice compartments are jammed). The utility cupboard was equipped with additional cleaning items; bucket, mop, vacuum and a iron and ironing board. (I did email Sykes ahead of our holiday to determine if an iron and ironing board were available, I received a reply stating they were ‘regrettably not...’). NB. There is also a washing machine/dryer at the property, this is not listed in the Sykes site/advertisement online. The bedding and towels were beautifully clean and soft, no offensive laundry smells. The hot tub is opposite both bedrooms at the rear of the property, it has an audible humming sound as it operates to maintain the filtration system. It was annoying and effected our sleep. (TIP: switch it off overnight ONLY... electric fuse box in the main bedroom wardrobe). Neil, the hot tub operative visited every day including Christmas Day, he was friendly and engaging. We stayed at Christmas time, the main room was dressed with an artificial tree. No other decorations were in place; there was no reference to Christmas at all in the welcome pack, not even a greetings card with a seasonal message. A small carton of Cornish locally produced milk was left in the fridge.

“The place is fantastic high quality lodge definitely be going back there in the near future”

- Mr Gravenor, November 2019
“The lodge is extremely clean and has everything you possibly need.”

Bathrobes, towels, welcome pack and travel toiletries were provided. The outside space and hot tub were completely private and had nice views of the countryside. The hot tub is cleaned daily and the staff we saw were extremely friendly. One of the best places we have ever stayed at!

“Fab little cottage!”

Beautiful decorated and awesome hot tub. We had a wonderful family holiday and will definitely be returning again.

- Mrs Hovard, October 2019
“We have stayed in a number of lodges over the last few years and most have been okay but the lodge we stayed in this holiday was exceptional.”

It was a pleasure to stay in for our week, the location was excellent quite, well spaced lodges and good access. The lodge itself went beyond our expectations it also made access to number of places we wanted to visit easy and to top it all we had a very good week with the weather, so many thanks for an enjoyable holiday

- Mr Lipscombe, September 2019
“Such a tranquil environment with beautiful views across the countryside.”

The lodge was beautifully decorated and furnished; and equipped to such a high standard. The photographs do not do it justice, so upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised!

- Mr James, September 2019
“Literally. THE BEST LODGE IVE EVER BEEN TO.”

It was so lovely. So peaceful. So romantic and just relaxing. It was secluded enough to feel like home away from home. The only thing I’d say is make sure you drive as local travel ie buses are a bit of a pain and the taxis can be unreliable. I will definitely be returning this time for longer!

- Ms Young-rodriquez, August 2019
“Fantastic villa lovely views would definitely book again.”

- Mr Barton, August 2019
“The lodge and location were both absolutely stunning!”

Far exceeded our expectations! Great base for exploring local area and attractions!

- Mrs Avery, July 2019
“We arrived to a note stating the bi folding doors in the living room were broken so we were unable to use these doors during our stay which was so very disappointing as the cabin was quite warm due to the heatwave & to access the hot tub or outdoor area we had to get access through the bedroom or walk around from the side doors.”

We booked this holiday Saturday & arrived on Monday and it seems the doors have been broken for a while, I would have appreciated knowing this prior to booking so as I would have had the option to book a different property

- Mrs Thomas, July 2019

The bi-folding doors have been repaired, apologies for any inconvenience. Owner relations
“The accommodation was fabulous, with great views of the Cornish countryside.”

The hot tub was a bonus. We had a great time and the weather was very favourable. The location was ideal to visit all the places we wanted to go to. Only things I would like mention are : key pad on entrance gate to Southern Halt was very temperamental ( esp the number 1 key ) the gravel driveway takes getting use to... esp going up and down slopes please these points are only minor and did not hinder our holiday , put we saw people struggle with the key pad..

- Dr Mistry, July 2019
“Certainly has the WOW factor.”

Photos on the website don’t do any justice to this place. That view!!! Well equipped kitchen with attention to detail. Beautiful artwork throughout. Loved the hot tub. We will be booking again for next year.

- Mrs Birchall, April 2019
“The place was amazing stunning location with brilliant views.”

Very private. Inside was comfy and cozy and had everything you could need (except washing up liquid and hand soap in the kitchen) The hot tub was lovely especially with those views. Highly recommend. Will be visiting again.

- Mrs Draper, March 2019
“The chalet was warm, comfortable and very clean, the views were wonderful.”

My Mum and I were troubled by a few things: It would have helped to have a receptionist to greet us and show us how to work the appliances. The shower mat for the bathroom was unable to stick properly with the suction pads, so I slipped and badly bruised my leg in the bath trying to shower. The dishwasher didn’t work, even when the plumber was called out. The washing machine door was firmly locked, and even when I referred to the instruction manual the door could not open, so we weren’t able to use that. These issues were a problem and disappointing. I hope they can be resolved for future customers. Anne Hindle
