    “Having stayed at 6 Waters Edge in May, I absolutely loved the idyllic location with the lakes right at the edge of the deck.”

    I enjoyed it so much that I decided to return, this time staying at 4 Waters Edge. Unfortunately, the comparison was night and day. While Lodge 6 was well maintained and clean, Lodge 4 has been completely run into the ground. The issues began in the kitchen. The fridge had an inch of thick ice at the back and reeked of stale milk (I had to adjust the settings myself just to fix it). The kitchen has clearly suffered a leak at some point. The wooden worktop was black in places from either mold ...

    I enjoyed it so much that I decided to return, this time staying at 4 Waters Edge. Unfortunately, the comparison was night and day. While Lodge 6 was well maintained and clean, Lodge 4 has been completely run into the ground. The issues began in the kitchen. The fridge had an inch of thick ice at the back and reeked of stale milk (I had to adjust the settings myself just to fix it). The kitchen has clearly suffered a leak at some point. The wooden worktop was black in places from either mold or wood rot. Both the sink and the dishwasher stank of damp. I managed to improve the sink situation with some disinfectant, but I eventually gave up on the dishwasher. After running it a few times, the smell remained awful, it appeared to be missing a filter or filter cover, and it didn't even clean the dishes properly. The hot tub was in equally poor condition and is actively falling apart. Only a single jet actually works, the cover is disintegrating and dropping insulation foam directly into the water, and the filter kept floating out. While staff do check the pH levels daily, that is where the maintenance ends. The decking glass are turning green with algae, looking like they've only had a rushed rag run over small parts of them. The promotional pictures, while once accurate, are clearly years old. With zero ongoing maintenance, everything here is run-down and the cleanliness is highly questionable. 4 Waters Edge is in a beautiful location and was likely stunning once, but "luxury" does not go hand-in-hand with dirt, mold, and rotting wood. I have honestly stayed in cleaner and better maintained budget B&Bs. Save your money or book Lodge 6

The property

Set beside a tranquil lake and surrounded by woodland and just a short drive from Looe, Polperro and Fowey, 4 Water’s Edge is a stylish, single-storey lodge offering waterside views, privacy and a peaceful Cornish setting.

Ideal for families or couples seeking a relaxed escape close to the coast, this lodge combines scenic surroundings with easy access to Cornwall’s best-loved destinations.

Step inside to find a bright, open-plan living space designed to make the most of the lake views.

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light, while deep sofas and a large TV create a comfortable place to unwind after a day exploring.

The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped for easy self-catering, with sleek integrated appliances and everything you need for relaxed holiday meals.

Enjoy dinner around the dining table or take things outside onto the private terrace, where lakeside dining comes with a front-row seat to nature.

Outside, the terrace is a real highlight.

Start the day with breakfast overlooking the water, spend lazy afternoons watching ducks glide across the lake, or wind down in the private hot tub as the sun dips behind the trees, a simple luxury that elevates every stay.

When it’s time to sleep, two calm and comfortable bedrooms await.

The king-size master bedroom features its own TV, direct access to the terrace and an en suite shower room, while the twin bedroom is perfect for children or additional guests.

A modern family bathroom completes the layout.

Just a short walk away, The Old Mill Bar & Restaurant offers a laid-back dining option with wood-fired pizzas, family favourites and lakeside seating, ideal for evenings when you don’t fancy cooking.

The friendly onsite team are also close at hand, a detail frequently praised by returning guests.

From your doorstep, enjoy gentle woodland walks and nearby bridleways, or head out to explore the South West Coast Path.

Families will love nearby attractions such as Porfell Wildlife Park, Adrenalin Quarry and the Eden Project, while beach lovers can choose from East Looe Beach, Talland Bay, Seaton or the scenic coves around Fowey.

Blending lakeside tranquillity, stylish living and an excellent location for exploring Cornwall, 4 Water’s Edge is a welcoming base for memorable family holidays and relaxed coastal escapes in every season.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

LANREATH

Pelynt 2 miles; Looe 5 miles; Polperro 6 miles.

Lanreath is a village in southeast Cornwall, five miles west of Looe. Lanreath is rural in character with a local shop and Post Office as well as a parish church. There are a number of ghost stories associated with Lanreath. The best-known features a ghost in black driving a coach pulled by a headless horse. Nearby Pelynt is home to a parish church, a number of local shops and pubs, especially the Jubilee Inn, which was an original farmhouse dating back to the 16th Century. Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. Polperro is a little further away and is a historic fishing village nestling at the head of a long valley leading down to the sea. With plenty of areas to visit, Lanreath is a quiet, pleasant place offering easy access to the coast, the moors, National Trust properties and Cornwall's famous gardens.

Note: Sunday arrivals are not permitted.
