The lodge was amazing, I will definitely be returning.

“The other lodges on the site also look cool so I might try out a few of the other ones as well! The lodge we stayed, 9 Horizon View, was very spacious. Myself and my fiance just went for a weekend away on our own, however, the lodge could comfortably fit a family/group of people. Modern decor, clean and homely. TVs in every bedroom and a large TV in the living room, as well as a Bluetooth speaker. The hot tub worked perfectly, I've seen other reviews mentioning jets not working right, not sure ...”

“The other lodges on the site also look cool so I might try out a few of the other ones as well! The lodge we stayed, 9 Horizon View, was very spacious.

TVs in every bedroom and a large TV in the living room, as well as a Bluetooth speaker. The hot tub worked perfectly, I've seen other reviews mentioning jets not working right, not sure if that was an issue that has since been fixed or if whoever wrote it didn't know you could twist the jets to open or close them, but anyway, it worked perfectly for us. Kitchen had everything you need, I like the touch of a pod coffee machine (I can't remember which pod type it was for, think it was dolce gusto. Plenty of space to park right by your lodge, easily enough space for 2 or 3 cars. Although the lodges are fairly close to eachother, they are cleverly positioned and, along with help from some landscaping, being decking out the back with the hot tub does feel private. The location is brilliant as a base in Cornwall, there's plenty of towns to visit within a 30 mins drive (Looe and Bodmin around 15 mins, Polperro around 20 and Fowey around 30) and many more places a little further. I'm already looking at when I can come back for another few nights soon and will probably look to book for a week at some point as well, as the only complaint I'd have about this holiday is that I only booked 3 nights haha! Stunning lodge in a beautiful and useful location. Can't wait to see you again soon, Southern Halt!”

Had a lovely relaxing time, lodge was great and had everything needed for a short break away and the hot tub was amazing!

Mr Wade September 2020

We had a fabulous week at horizon view.

“Beautiful lodge in a fab location with the most amazing views. We'll equipped, spotlessly clean and just perfect. Our only issue was the hot tub. Only one jet working on arrival, someone came out to it, but still only one jet working and that wasn't working all the time. There definitely an issue with it, but we made the most of it as didn't want to spend the week moaning about hot tub jets. We would recommend the place and would visit again without doubt.”

Mrs Hilton September 2020

The lodge although lovely needs a good clean, paint and new carpets.

“We were disappointed with the cleanliness on arrival, the windows had hand prints inside and there was food on the floor under the couch. Considering this time of Covid we would have expected the place to be pristine! We were also incredibly disappointed with the hot tub, not a bubble in sight!! We did report this and someone came to look at it but the outcome was just the same, it was like sitting in a warm bath and as pleasant as that was whilst looking up at the stars, there should definitely be bubbles in a hottub! The location was good for getting around and the site was incredibly quiet which is what we wanted.”

Mr Timpson March 2020

The lodge was very well equipped; DAB radio, TV in each room, plenty of kitchen equipment.

“However, there were no specific instructions for the main oven, other than in the welcome booklet which said "Ensure the time is set", well, we did make sure that the time was set, but after half an hour the oven was not heating up. After lots of fiddling about and an unhelpful phone call to management (who did in fairness dispatch a maintenance man) we discovered that the instructions should have read " Ensure the TIMER is set". So we called back and cancelled the maintenance guy and eventually got our dinner an hour late. Although the lodge was clean there were several plates and the grill pan which had been left dirty, not the cleaner's fault I suppose, but these things should be checked. Our main gripe was that the hot tub had no shelter from the wind which was whipping around the side of the lodge. We had a walk around and discovered that just about all of the other lodges had a small fence next to their hot tubs, which would have been good for ours too!”

Miss Drinkwater February 2020

On arrival we were wowed with how stunning the lodge was, very beautiful and homey.

“We were not supplied with any washing up or dishwasher cleaning products which we had to supply ourselves and was only given one toilet roll to last 5 people for a weekend. When we opened the dishwasher it was full to the brim with bubbles, appeared to have washing up liquid in. We then noticed the hot tub was freezing cold, we would have expected it to be warm(ish) on arrival as we have paid to use the hot tub for the weekend. When we rang we was told it had been filled for fresh water and it will take 14 hours to heat up, this is not acceptable for us paying for a hot tub lodge weekend away, we were unable to use the hot tub until late Saturday evening. Highly disappointed with this service. On a positive note, the lodge was beautiful, very comfortable beds, quiet surroundings and felt safe and secure.”

Mrs Parsons February 2020

We loved this property.

“Yes it was a tad tired and yes the beds need new mattresses but the accommodation itself with its big and bright windows, a view to die for and a sunken hot tub were perfect. Storm Dennis battered us almost every day and night but the property provided us with a beautiful retreat when going outside to explore just wasn't possible. We would sit and snuggle up watching the storm from the comfort of the large sofas, entranced by the beauty from the landscape. On the nights that were clear we would run to the warmth of the hot tub and count the many stars we could see due to the lack of light pollution. My children said that was a memory that would stay with them forever. Thank you little house for giving me and my family a chance to reconnect.”

- Mrs Parsons, February 2020
Miss Davies December 2019

The lodge was great, comfortable, clean and well equipped.

“Unfortunately the hot tub was not hot upon arrival at 4pm. We’d booked the accommodation for New Year’s Eve, on the basis of the lodge having a hot tub we could enjoy during New Years celebrations. At midnight the hot tub had only reached 34 degrees. We were unable to enjoy the tub until our second day, which was a real shame. In addition, the description of the accommodation stated two double beds, and two single beds. I also confirmed on booking, that there would be two double beds. Unfortunately the second double room was laid out as a twin.”

Mrs Wilson Ramsay November 2019

Our hot water wasnt working so we had to boil the kettle to wash up ect The floors are so squeaky and it woke our daughter everytime we had to go to the toilet.

“Had curtains open and 2 men happen to be right on our deck without warning and I was just getting changed no bottoms on ect. We removed the sheets on the 1 bed in the one room and there was a purple red stain right in the middle of the sheet and to top if off we were getting ready to leave dressing my lil girl and a man pokes his head through the window at approx 8:30 am and said are you done with the hot tub so he could of emptied it felt very un private ruined our experience and would of drove home early if we wasnt 6 hours away very disappointing felt like money wasted :/”

Mrs Nimmo October 2019

The photos don't do it justice and the views are amazing.

“The Highwayman pub nearby does a lovely carvery. Seaton beach, Golitha falls and Bodmin Moors are worth a visit . Will definitely be back.”

- Mrs Nimmo, October 2019
Mr Maw September 2019

The lodge exceeded our expectations, it looked great on line and was better on arrival.

“The location although a little isolated this was not a negative as it gave us total privacy the lodges are set in such a way that they do not look over each other, giving privacy when on the terrace or in the hot tub. The views from the terrace are are stunning. We would consider going back or we may try your other site Stonerush Lakes which has the Mill Restaurant and bar. There is a Spar supermarket within the village of Dobwalls which is all you need, also a pub The Highwayman which is a carvery which we did not visit as my wife is a vegetarian. We would recommend The Plough at Duloe only about 5 miles away or the London Inn at St Neot about 3 miles away”

- Mr Maw, September 2019
Mr Elliott September 2019

We arrived at number 9 horizon view to find freezer compartment so iced up we had to defrost to be able to put our frozen shopping in.

“Hot tub jets never worked during the duration of our stay (as explained by the hot tub engineer). Approximately second day of our stay skyes had plumber out to sort out hot water, on the ninth day no hot water again plumber came out told us it would be at least three days to be fixed.Contacted skyes who within 30 minutes offered us another lodge, we accepted ( in our opinion far superior). Skyes has been very helpful with immediate calls and assistance.”

- Mr Elliott, September 2019
Miss Culverwell September 2019

Was absolutely amazed at how perfect this lodge was!

“it was so clean and they had thought of everything! would highly recommend! I will most certainly be booking another stay in the future!”

- Mrs Hogg, July 2019
Mrs Beardsmore July 2019

- Mrs Beardsmore, July 2019
Mrs Baicher June 2019

Fantastic holiday, chalet was really clean and comfortable, amazing views from garden and hot tub was a big favourite.

“Lovely place to bring little kids. Only negative we had was no salt, pepper or oil so bring some with you! Overall would definitely recommend and would come back.”

- Mrs Baicher, June 2019
Ms Croft May 2019

Need to provide more toilet paper - there was only one roll in each bathroom.

“Also kitchen roll and salt/pepper in kitchen. Thank you”

The property

Occupying a secluded and elevated position, set within countryside and immaculate grassy fields is this luxury lodge in a tranquil location.

9 Horizon View offers spacious accommodation for family and friends to come together and make the most of an ideal countryside setting.

The sitting and dining areas come with natural light from the panoramic windows, layered with an all-white, stylish finish.

The contrasting purple sofas with sumptuous cushions allow you to have a cosy and relaxing evening 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 make your holiday as comfortable as possible.

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.

There are plenty of places to visit enveloping the cottage, such as Liskeard which 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 including; twisting your way around cobbled streets to find shops and pubs, and ambling 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 less than 15 minutes away.
