“Sorry but with issues throughout the lodge it really wasn't a great stay.”

The shower support in the main bathroom was broken prior to our arrival, neither of the two bedroom TVs we used worked one had very few channels the other would not tune in at all. There was a large amount of black mould on the ceilings in both the main bathroom and ensuite The shower hose was so covered in mould it was coming off as the shower water hit the hose.

The shower support in the main bathroom was broken prior to our arrival, neither of the two bedroom TVs we used worked one had very few channels the other would not tune in at all. There was a large amount of black mould on the ceilings in both the main bathroom and ensuite The shower hose was so covered in mould it was coming off as the shower water hit the hose. We made sure this was cleaned before we next used the shower. I didn't pay attention to the comments of others regarding the bed in the main bedroom. It has a very soft noisey mattress that is so uncomfortable and wakes you up every time you move with the noise of the springs. The 2 sofas are just as uncomfortable the table is sticky due to the varnish needing replacing It was also covered in fluorescent pink pen as is the carpet in one of the bedrooms. The vacuum cleaner doesn't work well as the beater bar doesn't work. There was no hand wash in either the main bathroom or ensuite no cleaning products at all in the property only soup spoons no dessert spoons. Quite limited cooking utensils, the frying pans have seen better days. No cafetier which we found odd as pretty much every lodge we've stayed has one. The fridge is broken and only has one shelf remaining useable on the door. There's no foil or baking paper no rubbish sacks or bin liners in the kitchen not even a spare loo roll. It appeared that all the little bits that most owners have in their lodges have been removed. I will add that the shower support was replaced by Southern Halt maintenance staff after the cleaning staff reported this . Such a shame as this is our third stay at Southern Halt and this is not the usual standard.

Thank you for your feedback Mark, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us your thoughts. I am so sorry to hear that you encountered issues in the lodge during your stay, as obviously this is not something we would wish for our guests. I have spoken with our maintenance team who have visited the lodge since your stay to check the televisions and make sure that they are working correctly, which they appeared to be. I have also passed your comments regarding the mould issue on the ceilings and shower hose, the pen marks on the carpet, the faulty vacuum cleaner, the spoons and the lack of a cafetiere to the housekeeping manager and these have all been resolved. Unfortunately, as the lodges are self catering and have always been this way, we do not provide the items you mentioned. This is mainly due to the fact that most guests would prefer to use their own items and not leftovers from previous guests and we do provide a toilet roll in each bathroom to get you through your first night, just in case you have forgotten some. The mattress and sofa are sadly a personal preference, however I have passed your comments regarding the sticky table to the owner, who has agreed for this to be resolved as soon as possible. Once again I apologise for the issues you encountered and thank you for letting me know, hopefully your experience will not put you off and you will come back to stay with us again in the future. Warmest wishes, Charteroak Guest Services Property Owner

“Second visit to the property.”

Can't fault it. Perfect place to chill and recharge with easy access by car to most of Cornwall. Peaceful with gorgeous views.

Danielle August 2025

“The holiday home was everything we needed.”

Clean, comfy beds, great shower, cooking facilities and lovely family area. Our daughters made the most of the hot tub and grass area. Waking up and sitting outside to the views was worth the stay alone. The location is great for visiting several places by car and we would stay again. Defo recommend 9 horizon view!!

Thank you so much for letting us share your experience after your stay at 9 Horizon View, I am so happy that you all loved your lodge and hope you will be back again very soon! Warmest wishes, Sally, Charteroak Guest Services Property Owner
Helen June 2025

“This is the third time we've stayed on this site, but this particular lodge is probably our least favourite of the three.”

The mattress on the double bed is very uncomfortable and needs replacing. Instruction leaflets etc would be really useful, as we spent some time working out the oven and the central heating (which was on full when we entered the property). Otherwise, a good place to stay with a fantastic view.

- Helen, June 2025

Dear Helen, Thank you so much letting us know your thoughts. We are so sorry you found the mattress so uncomfortable - we have passed this back to the owners and the site teams regarding the heating. Kind regards, Gemma - Charteroak Guest Services. Property Owner
Nathan June 2025

“Overall we had a really wonderful stay.”

Stunning views, extremely peaceful, plenty of space, very welcoming feeling. Everything required was provided. However we would recommend the double bed absolutely needs to be replaced. We did not sleep well at all due to the amount of movement in the bed when turning over and loud creaking all night.

- Nathan, June 2025

Dear Nathan, Glad to hear that overall you had a lovely stay - we are so sorry to read you had issues with the bed - we have fed this back to the owners. Kind regards, Gemma - Charteroak Guest Services. Property Owner
Dan April 2025

“A superb lodge.”

A week of peace and relaxation made even better by enjoying the fantastic views on the terrace in the lovely weather. One of the nicest lodges we have stayed in. Everything we needed was provided and the accommodation was furnished to a high standard. Cleanliness generally high but dining table top could do with replacing as the varnish was very sticky. Outside area superb and well maintained. Hot tub checks excellent and grounds staff very friendly. The views are beautiful. The master bed lacked some support at the sides meaning it felt like you’d roll out but otherwise very comfortable and we look forward to staying again. Would highly recommend.

- Dan, April 2025

Dear Dan, Thank you for the kind feedback. Those points have been noted and passed on. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and the hot tub. We hope to welcome you back very soon. Kind regards, Gemma - Guest Services, Charteroak. Property Owner
David February 2025

“Beautiful property and in an ideal location, very picturesque as it overlooks the countryside.”

Great to have facilities like a washer/dryer and dishwasher. Its ideally situated and convenient as it is very easy to commute to places like the eden project, looe, padstowe and other surrounding areas. We really enjoyed our stay at the property, nice and clean and lovely to have a lawn area right outside which is great for the kids to run around freely and enjoy the wide open space. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place.

- David, February 2025

Wow David, what an amazing review, thank you so much. It's so lovely to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us at 9 Horizon View. It sounds like you had a wonderful time exploring the surrounding area and your kids enjoyed being able to play right outside! Hopefully you and your family will be back to see us again in the very near future! Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner

Susan July 2024

“Our lodge was amazing.”

It had everything in it we needed. Very comfortable. Beautiful views from the lodge as well as garden furniture and hot tub. Would definitely recommend it. Also very quiet and peaceful.

- Susan, July 2024

Thank you for your recommendation Susan and also for leaving us your fantastic feedback! I am absolutely delighted to hear that you loved your stay at 9 Horizon View and hope you will be back to see us again very soon! Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner
Sylvia July 2024

“Pluses: lovely holiday lodge, very comfortable, clean and peaceful.”

The lodges in Horizon View have stunning views of the surrounding countryside and hills. Although the grounds are open plan, the lodge felt private because of foliage very effectively screening the decking and garden area from neighbours. Hot tub is a great addition, lovely to relax in each evening with a few glasses of wine. Plenty of amenities within short drives nearby (especially Trago Mills!). Great location for visiting Looe, Polperro, Charlestown and other popular places for sightseeing. Negatives: a bit of a walk to dispose of rubbish bags (perhaps supply bins outside the lodges?). Our dining table had a very sticky residue: we think the varnish had turned 'tacky': wasn't particularly a problem because we simply used a sheet as a tablecloth, but definitely something that needs rectifying. The gorgeous views were blocked a little by a hedge that we think could be pruned lower to maximize said views. We had a lovely holiday, many thanks.

- Sylvia, July 2024

Thank you for leaving us with your feedback Sylvia, we are so pleased you had such a lovely time staying with us!! I have spoken with our grounds team and asked if the hedge near the decking area can be cut back as we would not wish to block our incredible views. We really do hope to be able to welcome you back to our beautiful resorts soon. Best wishes, The Guest Services Team Property Owner
Wendy June 2024

“I’ve booked again for next year.”

. We had an awesome holiday and found our lodge to be very well equipped and clean. Beds were very comfortable as were the sofa’s.. Hot tub was clean and well maintained.. Overall we cannot find any fault hence we have rebooked for next year. We stayed at your sister sight back in 2022 at Lanreath and enjoyed that place too.. Very highly recommended and the site staff especially Tracey Karn were very friendly and helpful..

- Wendy, June 2024

It's fantastic news that you loved your stay with us at 9 Horizon View so much, that you have already rebooked to come back again next year! I am so happy that you enjoyed yourselves and loved Southern Halt, we can't wait to see you in 2025! Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner
Ken May 2024

“The property was as described and clean and tidy, some of the cooking utensils were a bit tired but overall a well equipped kitchen.”

The dining table however was sticky and when we reported this we were told the previous occupants had reported this and despite them and housekeeping cleaning the table is had not improved, and this was not addressed during the week we were there! The other problem was the hot water, three times we lost hot water, once I was able to get it running again but the second time it went cold (we discovered at 23:30) There was nothing I could do, so reported the lack of hot water at 07:10 in the morning on the emergency number, the man answering the phone took the address and my name the said thank you and hung up! 1.5 hours later on one had turned up so I rang again to see what was happening, and was told he had sent an email to reception and maintenance who started work at 09:00, I could have done that, so what was the point of having an emergency number? This was on the Thursday (our last full day), Tracy (the receptionist, who is very good and keeps you informed) phoned to say she had the email and maintenance would be there to fix it by 10:00. We went out for the day and let Tracy know and she phoned us to say it had been fixed. The rest of the day all was good, nice hot water, however when we got up in the morning my 86 year old disabled mother in law told me she had to shower in water that was barely warm and when we checked, we did not have hot water again. As we were leaving that morning I reported the fact to Tracy as we were leaving. But really having a lodge that sleeps 6 people not being able to supply constant hot water for only 4 people (who do not all shower or bath at the same time) is not good enough. It spoilt what should have been a really good week.

- Ken, May 2024

Thank you for providing us with your feedback Ken, we do appreciate your time. I am sorry that you were disappointed during your stay with us, as you can imagine we would not wish for any of our guests to have heating or hot water issues, our maintenance team do try very hard in preparing the lodge. Of course, it is very frustrating when despite the problem being resolved by our gas engineer, it reoccurred during your stay. Please be reassured that we have since had this problem rectified, so that it does not affect future guests. We apologise once again for the frustrations caused and we hope that you will consider staying with us at Southern Halt in the future. Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner

“Excellent location with Liskeard less than 10 mins away which has a train station to many other popular destinations in Cornwall.”

The lodge was fantastic lodge with great WiFi to please a 14 year old! The hot tub was also a great way to wind down after busy day. Many thanks to Martha, Tracey and the team for making this an enjoyable stay. Mark

Aimee August 2023

“Wonderful lodge!”

Very clean, everything you need and a spectacular view! The hot tub was amazing too! Thank you for the best holiday! Would highly recommend this lodge and the Southern Halt site - beautiful surroundings, well kept and all the staff we spoke to were super friendly and helpful. Golitha Falls is just a 5 minute drive away, absolutely stunning, then finish off with delicious grub at Inkies Smokehouse. A visit to St Nectans Waterfall is well worth a visit, not far from Boscastle. If you have a gluten-intolerant member of the family, Boscastle have the best bakery that does gluten-free pasties, delicious! And the cafe next door does a GF cream tea! Mevagissy, Padstow and Polperro also worth a visit! Just a wonderful place and a wonderful lodge to come back to and relax! Thank you!!

- Aimee, August 2023

Thank you so much for leaving us your wonderful and informative feedback Aimee, we really do appreciate you taking the time and for recommending so many lovely places to visit. It sounds like you had a very busy holiday and managed to see lots of beautiful parts of Cornwall. I am delighted you loved your lodge and enjoyed using the hot tub too, the view from your decking is indeed stunning! I hope you get the opportunity to come back to see us again in the future, as we would love to welcome you back. Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner
Mr Steve Garner May 2022

“Amazing stay 2nd year in a row and we'll be booking again for next year.”

The place is perfect and situated in the perfect place for you to go anywhere you want too, from Looe which is 15 minutes away a beautiful town, with great beach, shops, to St Ives 1 hour away. The holiday village is beautiful, private and the hot tub just makes it perfect. The lodge is clean, comes with everything you need, literally all you need is your clothes, the lodge is very spacious, clean and modern. Views are amazing

Mrs Wendy Nimmo Apr 2022

“Beautiful lodge, have stayed twice.”

Can't fault it at all. However this time we were quite uncomfortable in the master bedroom. The mattress has seen better days and needs replacing. Probably would return if this was changed in the future. Hot tub was amazing. I taught my son to play the Transformer Chess whilst WiFi was down too!

- Mrs Wendy Nimmo, Apr 2022
Mr Matthew Carrington Apr 2022

“We had a lovely week in this lodge, very spacious and well laid out, great base for the family to explore the local area, and there is lots to do in local area.”

The site itself is very quiet which is nice! and this particular lodge has quite a lot of space outside in comparison with others on site which was great for the kids. We really enjoyed the hot tub and just relaxing outside in this picturesque area of the country. The only negatives we experienced was the master bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable and we both had a bad back after sleeping on it, think this was reported on a recent review also? Only 4 forks for our family of 5 only- minor but easily rectified. The evening we arrived someone had turned the boiler switch off in cupboard which we was unaware of so took a while to get heating on and warm, maybe a better instruction to eliminate this for other guests? Overall my family of 5 really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend! with a few minor improvements could be fantastic. Thanks for letting us stay at your lovely lodge.

- Mr Matthew Carrington, Apr 2022

We are glad you had a lovely stay with us were able to explore the local area and thank you for your recommendation. We will ensure all the points raised are resolved and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Mrs Jean Chitanda Mar 2022

“Wonderful surroundings.”

Relaxing and peaceful with nature surrounding you. The family enjoyed the hot tub after busy days out. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. The property was very clean. The only issue we had was with the main bedroom bed. The mattress was so bad that my husband and I had bad backs. We stayed for a week and could not wait to get back to our bed. It was a shame because everything else was perfect.

- Mrs Jean Chitanda, Mar 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay overall, I will be visiting the property to review the mattress. We agree the surroundings are a wonderful place to relax. Property Owner
Mr Cameron Penson Nov 2021

“We had a lovely stay here.”

We think we left a birthday card with a £20 voucher inside on the table and I tried to call multiple times and tried to email and got no where to see if it had been found so not the best customer service. Hot tub was amazing, the lodge in general was very clean and tidy! We did see a couple of mice running in and out of under the lodge, but this didn’t really bother us.

The property

Occupying a secluded and elevated position, set within the countryside and immaculate grassy fields is this luxury lodge, 9 Horizon View.

The lodge offers spacious accommodation for a family of six and/or friends to come together and make the most of a rural setting.

The open-plan living space enjoys natural light from the panoramic windows, layered with an all-white, stylish finish.

The contrasting purple sofas with sumptuous cushions allow you to cosy up while maybe watching a film on the large TV set within the wall and warming the room with a pleasant glow from the fire.

A pristine kitchen provides you with all you need to ease your self-catered holiday.

Throw open the French doors on a summer afternoon and step out onto the decking to gaze into the distance at the rolling pastures that stretch for miles or make use of the sunken hot tub and let the bubbles soothe any aches and pains as you admire the breath-taking views; you may want to dine alfresco on a warm summers' night or wrap up warm in winter and enjoy starry skies out on the decking.

As the night grows darker, select from three bedrooms, including a double with en-suite, a double (zip/link) with TV, and a twin, along with a main bathroom for completing your nightly routine from.

There are plenty of places to visit enveloping the cottage, such as Liskeard which is a few miles away with a train station taking you to the picturesque fishing village of Looe.

This journey will pass through the wooded valleys teeming with wildlife, and give you views of the estuary as the river meets the sea.

Looe boasts a lively bustle around its quay and offers much to see and do; twist your way around cobbled streets to find shops and pubs, and amble along Banjo Pier to watch the fishing trawlers return.

Guests can enjoy the Old Mill Bar and Restaurant at our sister site, Stonerush Lakes, which can be found a short journey away.

Southern Halt Cottages

Delightfully furnished sitting rooms invite you to sink into the plush seating arrangements and wind down with a favourite film, watched on state-of-the-art TVs. Get some much-needed rest after activity-filled days in the attractive bedrooms, with various sleeping arrangements to suit everyone's needs, and excellent storage for your personal items. Each property has a private outside space, in the form of a patio or decking, with outdoor seating and the surrounding luscious lawns can be enjoyed by all. Some properties benefit from amazing hot tubs, to be enjoyed with a glass of wine as you look out to the spectacular scenery. If you don't feel like cooking in the evenings, just under a mile away is The Highwayman, a lovely pub serving classic dishes and a selection of ales and ciders, along with shops nearby. Alternatively, visit our sister site Stonerush Lakes which has our very own bar/restaurant; The Old Mill just a short drive away. Travel around 10 miles west over to the town of Bodmin to explore the famous Bodmin Jail, a building steeped in social and architectural history, offering insights into Cornish prison life through time, before heading up to Bodmin Moor for a refreshing walk to shake off the cobwebs and experience the beauty of the moors. For some sun, sea and sand you can visit Looe, and sunbathe on East Looe Beach, a perfect location for swimming as well and great for the little ones to have a paddle. Southern Halt is a gorgeous retreat, ideal for getting to know this lovely part of Cornwall.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
