  • "What a wonderful place!"

    The setting leaves you feeling like you're in the middle of nowhere while being just minutes away from Perranporth and a little longer to Newquay. Be prepared for birdsong and rushing stream sounds as your backdrop when staying here it really is so peaceful and the whole place is well maintained! The accommodation itself was wonderful, comfortable beds, great shower and with all the extras you might need hairdryer, ironing board etc! The lodge was well maintained and extremely clean, even additional rug for dog to have some grip on the floor and throw blankets aplenty! Host's Rob and Pat were wonderful, easy to contact and made us feel so welcome and made sure we had everything we could possibly need for the whole stay, especially nice was the additional extras on arrival day of milk, scones, jam and cream! Only have 2 warnings (nothing to do with woodland retreat I might add) don't rely on the site Wi-Fi {no chance of streaming at all} we were on ID mobile (3) and that was pants too, sadly common in Cornwall. Secondly was the lane to the site, many pot holes and definitely not for the faint hearted. Overall rating 11 out of 10. We will be back for sure

    Wow, Marshall, what a fantastic review and it is so much appreciated. Responding to the couple of negatives, I agree that the wifi has bit hit and miss. I haven't had any problems, but I'm just checking emails and googling things like " how to improve your holiday home'. But, it is fair to say that the wifi could be better. It's something I've spoken with site management about and, hopefully, something will be done to improve it. In the meantime, I'm going to research some alternative options. The lane is narrow from both directions and it's wise to travel fairly slowly to avoid the potholes. I'll take this up with the local authorities. The upside of these 2 points is that Woodland Retreat is in a very beautiful and tranquil place, set in 6 acres of broadleaf woodland. It was an added bonus to meet you, Shanna and Obi and Pat and I will be delighted to see you again soon. With my thanks and very best wishes, Rob Property Owner

  • "The apartment was outstanding very clean and was warm in the evenings."

    The site people are very slow in cutting the grass and things to keep the site clean, bins were full in need of emptying. Only problem was no signal on the phone. Had to use the car everyday and the roads weren’t that good very narrow and potholes every here and there. Can’t walk around without somebody coming on to you to see why you are there and what you are doing. The site would be better with a shop or something. To be honest this apartment would be better in a different location and site.

    Thank you for your review Samantha, but I'm sorry to hear you experienced some issues. It's a shame that I was only informed about the long grass quite late in your holiday, but at least it was cut promptly once the weather brightened up. I visited Woodland Retreat yesterday, cut the lawn edges and installed a new picnic table and benches, in addition to the comfy garden chairs. Being in a secluded valley, there can be some problems with mobile reception, usually if the weather is poor. I can't understand why anyone would question you being on site and I will take this up with the site manager, as I've always experienced nothing but cheery and helpful staff. To finish on a positive note, I'm glad that you enjoyed the bungalow itself and appreciated the great job done by our Housekeepers, Alan and Alicia. Best wishes, Rob Property Owner

  • "This is a lovely little property set in a quiet valley."

    .It is excellently equipped and maintained, and the very supportive owner responded immediately to resolve a minor plumbing problem. Even in poor weather the nearby coastline of wild cliffs and stunning beaches is a joy. So, too, are some of the local pubs and eating places. When you consider the cosy comforts of Woodland Retreat It is no surprise that we really enjoyed our stay and will be recommending it to our friends .

    Thank you so much Mark for your generous review, it's a real pleasure to have such appreciative guests! I've passed on your earlier comments on to my emergency plumber, Wayne, who is always on the ball. Pat and I both hope we may welcome you again and, hopefully, it won't be in monsoon season next time. Best wishes, Rob Property Owner

  • "Lovely little house in a lovely setting"

    Many thanks for your 5 star review Sue and I'll try to arrange better weather should you visit Woodland Retreat again! Best wishes, Rob Property Owner

  • "This property exceeded our expectations!"

    It is sited in a beautiful wooded area and there is even a small lake where mallards and moorhens are nesting. The property has recently been refurbished to a high standard; is spotlessly clean and extremely well-equipped with hob, full-size oven, microwave, kettle & toaster. A welcome pack was much appreciated & included milk, tea/coffee and a fresh packet of delicious scones! It's very pet friendly too (but a reminder to please keep dogs on lead when entering & leaving so as not to upset the wild fowl near entrance/.exit). Very handy to visit other areas-we will most certainly return.

    Thank you for your generous comments in this review Pam and also for your positive messages in our visitors' book. As our first guests since the winter refurbishment, Pat and I were delighted to hear your stay had left such a positive impression and you even managed to get a little sun! We look forward to your next visit and thanks so much, Rob Property Owner

Woodland Retreat is a single-storey, detached lodge settled into the tranquil Leycroft Valley Holiday Park in Perrancoombe, near Perranporth, ideal for a family looking for a getaway to Cornwall.

About the location

PERRANPORTH

Newquay 9 miles; Truro 9.5 miles.

Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, lies in the heart of Poldark Country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Perranporth offers plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a classic bucket-and-spade beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a wonderful coastal path. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of the rich heritage with abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The local Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the fascinating history of this coastal area. Further afield are the miles of sandy beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay, and the breathtaking coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust. A perfect holiday base in Cornwall, with an abundance of activities to suit everyone.
