Rowan

Our second stay here as one of our party is disabled.

We would have benefitted from a shower stool (not sure if we could have requested one)? Otherwise very helpful, responsive and prompt with any maintenance issues. Site lovely, peaceful and accommodation was spotlessly clean and we all slept well. A nice central location for all our favourite places to visit. Overall a lovely place to stay.

This was our fourth visit in a row to Rowan.

We have had no communication from the Killiow Estate other than an email giving a few details for access. We have previously had regular communication from Shelle checking that the facilities etc were ok and up to standard. This element of the stay no longer happens as her role has been removed. Towels etc were not replaced after the first week. A new dishwasher had been supplied but not installed correctly, so when you opened the door it moved forward and hit the plinth to. The grass in the fields around the lodges has not been cut for the second year, giving no access to the picnic tables/benches. The stay cost £2600, this is self catering, no club house or shops, just lodging. A great place to stay as a base, however without the personal touch (meet & greet etc) it falls short.

A lovely place if you want peace a quiet this is the place to stay, Truro very close

The Lodge and facilities were Spotless ,outstanding.

However ,the woodwork on the ramps needs upgrading ,showing signs of real ware ( rotting timbers ) This is only an observation .We would most definitely book again . Although this is an Eko friendly site ,it would of been nice if the fields were mowed ( pathways ) to walk the dogs and not getting soaked when the grass is wet . Overall ,would 100% recommend this place .

A beautiful location.

Home from home.

This was our third time in this property and as before, it provided everything for a great holiday.

The surrounding grounds are spacious and ideal for the dogs and the addition of The Arborist restaurant is a real bonus. The whole family have really enjoyed the break. Once again a mention for Michelle who provides an exceptional service.

The property was lovely and well equipped.

The wooden floors were very creaky especially when others are up in the night. The outside could do with a little maintenance as the wood is starting to rot on the decking banister and weeds around the property need treating. Couldn't fault the inside as the bed's were very comfortable and furnishings were lovely. I would go back there again as the location was perfect.

Third time at Rowan.

Fantastic as always, thank you Michelle.

Thank you to Michelle for her help, the immaculate cottage and the top tip about the cafe!

We’ll be back soon.

Excellent location, nice welcome, the only slight downside is the creaky flooring.

It was everything we needed.

Comfortable in a peaceful setting. Fantastic for dog owners. The lodge was well equipped and very well insulated so was very warm. Internet worked well.

We had a lovely time staying in the Lodge .

It was very light and airy and spotlessly clean. We were in Rowan (dog friendly ) no dog smells from previous occupants. It had everything that we needed for our stay. Michelle was friendly and welcoming. Only negative was the wooden floors creaking everywhere, and the road to get to the property has some large potholes. Otherwise a lovely property and would definitely return

Our stay at Rowan was absolutely perfect, there are no other words to describe it.

The lodge was comfortable, well equipped, warm and in the most beautiful surroundings. The fact that we could have our two dogs with us, who loved having the field opposite to play in (alongside the children) was invaluable. The manager of the lodges Michelle made contact prior to our arrival and couldnt have been more helpful to our needs, she even visited us shortly after our arrival to check we had everything we needed. We live locally and rented the lodge whilst we did some work on our newly purchased property, but we felt we would happily stay there again for a holiday as it was so lovely, peaceful and relaxing. We saw deer roaming past the lodge and grazing outside the window, as well as woodpeckers and foxes, which just added to the experience for us. A truly beautiful place to stay.

This was our second time at this lodge after four years and it is still in excellent condition and a wonderful holiday was had by all my family and is ideal for the dogs.

The accommodation provides all that is required for a very comfortable holiday to be had. A special mention must go to Michelle, the housekeeper, who met us on arrival to make sure all was in order and who dealt with a minor issue with a TV promptly and efficiently.

The lodge was excelent and the maintenace service was 1st class ,when the hot water stopped working easter sunday evening responded within 15 min

Excellent property but overheats in the sun even with blinds down.

Nice to have so much outside space but grass is very long, after dew or rain you need wellingtons to walk, grazing animals would be a welcome sight. A few mown paths would help guests to find their way around (& direct them where you want them). Very surprised at lack of wildlife (rabbits etc) & particularly birds - we saw two crows & a solitary pigeon in the whole week. A very quiet & peaceful week, excellent standard of accommodation but would be nice to wake to the sound of birdsong.

Fantastic week, definitely go back next year.

The lodge was well equipped & very comfortable.

Good quality linens & towels. Set in peaceful surroundings but only a few miles from shops. Michelle, the property manager made us feel very welcome & provided useful tips for getting to places. It was so nice to stay at a small site, with excellent accommodation that wasnt over commercialised, a rare find. Hope to be able to stay again.

We chose this for a months stay as a base for our SWCP walk Excellent accommodation.

Clean comfortable quiet. I ideally placed as a base for t the SWCP walks would definitely stay again

This was a wonderful holiday home with every little detail well thought out with lots of luxuries in a beautiful peaceful area.

we were met by michelle who was lovely and felt we could contact her if we needed anything. The welcome pack was lovely and as I am disabled the added addition of a shower seat was well appreciated. I did find the flooring slippy with my zimmer frame so was mostly mobile on 4 wheels to be safe but this aside did not spoil the holiday and the wood flooring had a lovely smell. We would return again

Fabulous location and spacious well equipped and very clean lodge.

Only critism would be that the blinds in bedrooms let in too much light, though resulting in early wakes.. Thoroughly recommend and enjoyed our stay..

Property is set in beautiful open meadow, alongside around 9 other lodges.

Rowan is situated on the edge of the lodges with lovely uninterrupted views. Fully accessible, well equipped with all the equipment needed for a great stay. Others commented on creaky floorboards, they do, but it is part of the character of a lodge in my view. The only minor point for me was it was uber warm in the lodge, in peak Summer not sure I would have managed to sleep due to the heat. Finally the lady who meets you on arrival - Michelle is an absolute gem, polite, helpful and on hand if any issues occur. Fantastic lodge, fantastic venue and would choose to stay again if visiting Cornwall.

Absolutely loved this place.

Quiet and relaxing, plenty of space specially for the dogs to have a run around. The lodge itself was beautiful comfortable and clean. plenty of space. was greeted when we arrived which was lovely. Kitchen well equipped. Bathroom clean and lovely. Rooms were lovely clean and comfortable with tvs in all rooms which pleased the kids.

A lovely clean spacious lodge situated in its own grounds.

Three large bedrooms with two of them having exceptional good en-suites. Would not hesitate to book again.

Great lodge in fabulous area very peaceful.

Michelle is very helpful and at the end of the phone when needed. Dog walking area was slightly overgrown so had to keep to paths to much for our small dogs to run in. Overall very nice lodge will recommend to all dog owners especially.

We all really enjoyed our relaxing break here.

It is a central base to go off in all directions to show what Cornwall has to offer. Michelle the lady who greated us was amazing from start to finish. Nothing was to much hassle or trouble. The site itself is beautiful and peaceful and some good walks local to do on a evening. The lodge is excellently equipped with everything you need and having 2 rooms with ensuite is a bonus. All in all a fantastic place to have a break away from every day life.

Beautiful quiet and peaceful country location.

Host was very welcoming and helpful. Very comfortable stay.

Lovely, peaceful, spacious lodge.

Great location, we were able to avoid most of the crowds quite easily. Lodge starting to show need for some minor maintenance, but not enough to detract from the overall impression that this is a nice place to be. Could do with an additional comfy chair if there are 6 of you staying, the sofas aren’t really big enough. No oven gloves or working tin opener or scissors. Listing shouldn’t mention golf club as it’s closed.

A home from home, perfect setting.

Quiet and peaceful. Amazing lodge.

Great for dogs Michelle was excellent - very helpful

Great location with lots of safe space for the kids and dog to run around.

A car is essential, but all ammenities only a short drive away. Golf club has shutdown so nowhere on site for food & drink but that didnt bother us. Load of lovely places around to choose from.

Michelle is a great host.

She is always ready to respond to your call. My children loved the environment. I will be back

This was a family holiday, and the rooms were excellent, the kitchen was well equipped.

The space in the rooms was ample. Only two little things, there seemed to be a wasps nest in the local area making sitting outside a little difficult, and at night times when everyone was home, the Wifi speeds dropped and caused lags. However, they are tiny things and will not stop us going back. We have already booked for Aug-21. Looking forward to being back in our favourite part of the world.

We were later than expected in arriving due to traffic but Michelle met us to show us in which was very much appreciated given the time of day.

The lodge was superb in every way. Absolutely spotless, everything provided like a home from home, brilliant position on the estate for the dogs, central for travelling to nearby beaches, attractions etc. Overall an excellent holiday position. The weather was good also so a great holiday was had by all.

The accommodation was lovely.

Clean, comfortable and well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay.

The lodge was beautiful with a little feel of luxury.

Was central to so many places to visit. The estate where lodge situated is so peaceful / clean and beautifully kept. Host met us on artival and was lovely she ensured all was well and was available if needed thtoughout our stay. Will definately return.

It was a lovely break, the weather was not to good but that didnt bother us, went to some nice places and ate great food from some nice bars and restaurants.

The property was very nice and the grounds very spacious. The only problem with the property was that the flooring was noisy when walked on.The boiler failed on one occasion, but this was rectified very quickly and effiecently. So a good week was had by us.

We chose this accommodation because of its proximity to Truro.

We were also easily able to enjoy coast and countryside, visiting St Ives, Falmouth, St Agnes and the north coast. All within very easy driving distance. The accommodation was particularly clean, bright and airy and was suitable for visiting children and our dog. All in all, brilliant. A bonus too to be met by the lovely and helpful Housekeeper, Michelle who helped us out when we couldn’t find the on/off switch!

It was a fantastic lodge and a great holiday was had by all.

The only gripe is that we booked it within a week of the start of the holiday and we paid 100% but before we arrived I noticed it had gone down by 20%. I put a call into Sykes and was told someone would return my call but to date I’ve had nothing. We could have saved around £300 as all the similar lodges were still available. They had all had a discount
