    “Southern Halt is a lovely park, unfortunately the accommodation 1 Southern Place was very disappointing.”

    Poorly maintained - damaged flooring throughout, rusty shower rack, wardrobe doors which didn't slide. Cleanliness - top of headboard very dusty, dirt and dust behind the door to the toilet, carpet not very clean. Pictures of the equipment are very misleading -no exercise bike as shown, rooftop terrace a joke and very disappointing. Apparently the lodge is for sale and you can tell it is uncared for and unloved. Spent a lot of money and travelled a long distance on the promise of a luxury stay ...

Apparently the lodge is for sale and you can tell it is uncared for and unloved. Spent a lot of money and travelled a long distance on the promise of a luxury stay and left feeling very disappointed and quite frankly cheated.

    - Stuart, June 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, Stuart. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations, as we always want our guests to leave with positive memories of their time at Southern Halt. We were disappointed to read about these issues after your departure, as we were unaware of your concerns during your stay. Had we known, we would have done everything we could to address any cleaning or maintenance issues promptly and make your stay more enjoyable. We appreciate your comments regarding the condition of the lodge. While it is regularly maintained and well cared for, we recognise that it is now due for refurbishment, and we're pleased to say that plans are already in place. Feedback like yours helps us prioritise these improvements. We're also sorry if our listing was not fully up to date regarding the exercise bike. We will review both the photographs and property description to ensure they accurately reflect the facilities available. We're sorry that your experience fell short of expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We wish you all the best for the future. Property Owner

Perfect for couples prioritising wellness, entertainment and seclusion, it boasts a spa facility with sauna, a private cinema room, a super-king-size bed, extensive countryside vistas, and welcomes pets with an enclosed outdoor deck.

Arranged across a single level, the open-plan living space encourages natural flow and connection.

Comfortable seating is thoughtfully positioned to showcase the landscape beyond, whilst glazed doors open the interior to views and natural ventilation.

The kitchen is thoroughly equipped for self-catering, with the dining area naturally becoming the gathering point.

The spa room transforms into your personal wellness retreat, offering heated immersion followed by sauna therapy.

The cinema room stands ready for film nights and quiet entertainment.

The super-king-size bedroom prioritises deep rest and comfort.

The setting around the lodge celebrates countryside living.

From the hilltop vantage point, pastoral fields and ancient woodlands create an atmosphere of genuine separation from ordinary life.

With Looe, Polperro and Fowey just minutes away, you're positioned to experience the South Cornish coast's distinctive character.

These working villages offer charming streets, bustling harbours and waterfront atmosphere worth discovering at leisure.

Accessible walking routes thread through nearby countryside and woodland, with Bodmin Moor's moorland beyond for more extensive exploration.

Pet owners find particular benefit here, with year-round dog-friendly beaches nearby.

The Old Mill Bar and Restaurant at Stonerush Lakes removes cooking responsibilities when desired.

Whether you're seeking wellness retreat with entertainment at hand, or occasional ventures to coast and countryside, 1 Southern Place brings these elements together seamlessly.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

DOBWALLS

Liskeard 2.6 miles; Looe 8.4 miles.

The rural village of Dobwalls is surrounded by open fields and wooded countryside, and is close to the market town of Liskeard, the slopes of Bodmin Moor and the glorious north and south Cornish coastlines. This is a perfect base for exploring the many delights the region has to offer, with the picturesque fishing harbours of Looe, Fowey and Polperro within 15 miles to the south whilst Padstow and the surfing beach at Polzeath lie a comfortable drive away on the North Coast. Take a trip to Siblyback Lake and enjoy the wonderful sailing, fishing and watersports on offer, or travel a little further and take advantage of the superb walking on Bodmin Moor. The Eden project lies within 15 miles and Plymouth is just a 30 minute drive, or 25 minute train ride from nearby Liskeard station. With the Barbican harbour district, renowned aquarium, and good selection of shops, restaurants and theatres, this is a great holiday base.


This lodge has a Jacuzzi spa bath

During the bird nesting season, typically between March and September, the reeds may appear more established than shown in some website photographs. In line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, vegetation management may be restricted during this period to help protect nesting birds and other wildlife. We appreciate your understanding as we work to preserve the natural environment and biodiversity of the site for both wildlife and guests to enjoy.
