  • "Wow absolutely an amazing week away (and thanks for Kevin in contacting you to see if we could stay the extra night which we were able to so thank you too) it’s our second time back but our first to this lodge which we found so much better than the last one proper home from home on entering it was smelling clean and fresh the robes for the hot tub were a lovely touch!"

    The kitchen was well equipped with all you needed and a lovely hamper on coming in was wonderful with a bottle of bubbles cream tea and various little treats! Plenty of board games and cards to play (although our monopoly game was still going strong after the week) there was plenty of DVD’s to choose from so we had a couple of movie nights. The hot tub was fabulous just the right temperature and was lovely to get up in the morning for a plunge before breakfast and again in the evening I’ve never slept so well! (Beds were really comfortable) Lots of little places to visit we enjoyed a walk around Goliath falls (stunning as ever) Looe polperro Bodmin (Jamaica Inn) we even just enjoyed a lazy day so very chilled set in beautiful surroundings. We shall definitely be coming back to this lodge we really couldn’t recommend it enough thanks for sharing your lodge with us it’s definitely been a fantastic week!!!!!!!!

    However all showers good and kettle working.

    We are so sorry to hear this as we only recently had a new boiler put in! There is an emergency contact mobile number in the property and it’s such a shame you didn’t take the time to contact our housekeeping team and they would Have come out immediately to resolve the issue for you.

  • "There was just a few small issues I found."

    The double bed was not comfy at all, was far too soft and wobbly and I couldn't sleep on it neither could my kids. We all ended up sleeping in single beds. There was a slight tear in the top left side of the double bed sheet. The blue information book could do with being updated as there's no use of grey fobs to access swimming or the gym. The balcony could do with being dusted every now and then to get rid of cobwebs for those who don't like spiders. Other than that the lodge was lovely and we have a lovely time.

    Thank you for taking the time to give feedback. We are really pleased you enjoyed your visit and had a lovely time. We will check the info folder. Beds are always very personal taste and it’s a new sprung mattress that many have asked where purchased as they want to buy one! The balcony can be swept one day and have cobwebs the next… the beauty of being in the countryside surrounded by nature! Property Owner

  • "We did love the property."

    Very well equipped kitchen very good. Furnished beautifully. But HotTub was not good and only half the jets worked, the chemicals were far to high. Unable to use after a breathing problem. Out side Area top and bottom needed cleaning bottle tops left around hot tub. Cigarette ends left on path at entrance. The lodge did smell we bought air fresh to help. Hoover needed cleaning and new filters which would of helpd. bathroom floors not clean black mould in shower. Nice touch with the scones and cream. But they were stale and cream had mould on. Dogs loved there treatd. loved the Views and the peaceful Area. Club house good food good and very friendly.

    Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We are pleased that you liked the property. We pride ourselves on our superior levels of cleanliness and all the extra free gifts we leave for our guests. There is NO black mould in the bathroom and never has been! It is steam cleaned at regular intervals and the property is throughly cleaned between guests. I have checked it myself and no such issue is present. In regards the complementary cream tea, this is purchased fresh and left in the fridge on the morning of guests arrival. It cannot have been stale and the Cream was in date and fresh. At no time have you contacted our housekeeping team who are there for you 24/7 nor CCH to raise any issues. These could have been addressed immediately rather than you putting unsupported negative comments on this forum. We appreciate we all have different tastes and experiences but your comments are totally unsupported by all our other guests comments and our own spot checks. the hover in the property is for guests use and is not the professional ones used by our housekeeping teams on changeover. In relation for the Hot Tub it appears you are not familiar with their use and did not read the very detailed instructions provided in the information pack. This is a legal requirement of guests so that they understand it’s use . Every jet is separately adjustable when you’re in the hot tub, so all are working fine and are checked every week. We use Bromine in our Hot Tub as it is much kinder to the environment than Chlorine. If you had read the Hot Tub information sheet then you will have known to lift the lid for a short while prior to using it. This allows any excess scent to dissipate. The longer the lid is left down then the longer gasses have to be held under the lid. This is so important and ALL our guests are advised to read the guidelines. Property Owner

  • "The property is not suitable for people with even moderate walking difficulties."

    It is accessed by very steep slopes and we would never have booked this had we realised. We were also emailed documentation which advised us that there were 2 parking spaces at the lodge but this was not true. I contacted the owners when we struggled to park and we were advised that there was no designated parking by the lodge - this was very disappointing. I would not recommend this lodge as it is sited only with the very able bodied in mind and this is not highlighted in any of the documentation. This was our first holiday since 2019 and we were very disappointed - so much so, we only stayed 4 nights. The cleanliness of the property inside the lodge was good. We did contact the owners a number of times with various issues and they were very quick to respond, which was helpful. This is the first time I’ve used Sykes Cottages and due to this experience I would not recommend to friends. More honesty with customers is required. I’m happy for this review to be published but the owners may prefer it is not.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. At no time did you contact us as the property owners. I believe you spoke to our housekeeping team. If you had contacted either us or Sykes prior to your holiday we would have reserved a parking place close the property. It was a very busy time when you stayed so parking close to the property is not always possible. The photo clearly shows there are a few steps up to the property and all the properties are called Valley Lodges because we are in the valley. The slope you refer to is the short walk up to the Pub on site. Many people with limited mobility drive up for meals to save walking. We have many limited mobility guests who return year after year. We would suggest in future to contact the booking agency to ascertain information specific to your needs. The housekeeping team have said you enjoyed the property & hot tub and the free welcome pack. We hope you find something for your very specific needs in the future. We’re pleased that our housekeeping teamwere helpful . Property Owner

  • "Loved our stay."

    We didn't have enough towels though and went to the office but they said they didn't deal with other cottages, we spoke to someone on the phone but no towels came, no big problem. The worst part was the hot water pressure in the kitchen. To have a full bowl of hot water takes a lifetime, had to boil water to wash a small amount of dishes which you wouldn't put the dishwasher on for. One of our party is a plummer and he said it wasn't right even though explanation was given it should have been much better than it was. We used this as a base and went out every day, and came home to the hottub every day which was very good and a good temperature.

    Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We hope you enjoyed the free welcome pack and bottle of Prosecco we left for you? The hot water pressure is a problem on site as we have our own water bore holes. We have done our best to provide the best we can and there is a new dishwasher for guests use. Bedding and towels are also provided free of charge two per guest. Extra are available via our housekeeping team at a small extra cost. We have also provided a new washer drier to enable guests to wash their own. As we are a self catering property. We hope you remembered to bring your own personal towels for the hot tub as this is often the towel issue as guests are asked not to use the hotel quality towels for the hot tub. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday and look forward to welcoming you back agian. Property Owner

  • "We had an enjoyable stay and the chalet was very homely and welcoming goodies very much appreciated thanks !"

    When we arrived there was a very strong smell of dogs and there were alot of dog hairs on the blankets in the lounge area which wasn't ideal for a family with no dogs and a crawling baby. The hot tub was relaxing but motor was noisy particularly noticed in the bedrooms at night. Nice park facilities and friendly staff, would return.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are really surprised you said there was a doggy smell as we were in the property ourselves the week before and there was no smell at all, the property was left empty for a few days before your arrival as we did a full chemical deep clean and ozone treatment throughout the house . The throws that are left near the sofas are specifically for dog owners to use to protect the leather sofas from scratches. They are NOT for general blanket use. This is explained in the Information folder. The Hot Tub noise is the same for us all, we have one at home and if you’re not used to them then they can appear a bit noisy as the pump and filtration has to run to keep the Hot Tub clean and legally safe for guests use. We were pleased you enjoyed the free welcome Pack including Prosecco & the cream tea. We look forward to welcoming you back again. Property Owner

  • "The property was well equipped."

    We did have an issue with the hot water that did not get resolved. The site was very steep and access to the properties involved using steps, during the hours of darkness it was difficult to see the sleeping policeman and the steps were a hazard. The information folder was very useful and we used a couple of the walks recommended which we really enjoyed.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are sorry that there was a problem with the hot water from the kitchen tap, unfortunately the issue was not reported to us by the previous guests, until they had left. Our housekeeping team visited you as soon as we were aware and attempted to call out a plumber. You said you were happy as you had 2 electric showers and a dishwasher. Unfortunately as it was over the BH it was impossible to contact a plumber (believe me we did try!) There is lighting on the roads, but is kept to a minimum for guests to enjoy the tranquility of the location. We are glad you found the information folder helpful. We look forward to welcoming you back agian. Property Owner

  • "Lovely holiday with my family, there were 2 children aged 4 and 4 adults."

    I would recommend to family and friends. Due to the season a lot of places were not open for the children, would return during another season., so we had to travel further than planned but this did not effect the holiday. with staying the 6 nights the hot tub wasn't checked to our knowledge to ensure it was clean for us to use. two of the single beds were not comfortable for the adults as they were spring. all parties enjoyed the holiday :)

    Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We are glad that you and your family had a lovely holiday. The hot tub is emptied, sanitised and refilled after each booking. Daily checks of the hot tub are carried out by a trained and qualified person and these are done either first thing in the morning or at time when guests have gone out, so as to minimise disruption. There is also a self dispensing chlorine floating unit which provides slow release chlorine into the water between the daily checks. The hot tub is also regularly serviced. As we all know beds are a matter of preference and so may differ to the ones you are used to at home. We are glad that you enjoyed your holiday and would love to welcome you back. Property Owner

  • "The lodge was lovely and spacious."

    Only things I can complain about are we had to buy baking trays and the frying pans need replacing. Downstairs did smell of damp probably because of the hot tub use.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your visit. We do provide a range of cooking and baking items, we are sorry one didn't meet your specific requirements. Cookware is checked and replaced as necessary. If there is ever a smell of dampness it is usually due to the extensive fogging that takes place between guests visits to comply with Covid advice and to ensure the property is sanitised for each new guest. Opening the doors and windows are recommended upon arrival detailed on the fogging information sheet. We are glad you found the lodge "lovely & spacious". We hope you enjoyed the complimentary bottle of prosecco and the cream tea Property Owner

About the location

CALLINGTON

Tavistock 9 miles; Launceston 11.5 miles; Plymouth 14.6 miles.

Callington is a Cornish market town, rich in mining heritage and overlooked by Kit Hill, the highest point in the area, donated to the people of Cornwall by Prince Charles to celebrate the birth of Prince William. From the top of Kit Hill there are fabulous views across south-east Cornwall as far as Plymouth Sound. Callington is set in the heart of the Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and offers a good selection of shops, inns and cafes, as well as being the home of Ginsters Cornish pasties. A few miles away, the quaint village of Calstock clings to the steep banks of the river Tamar and is dominated by the splendid Calstock Railway Viaduct, a giant 11-arched stone construction supporting one of Britain’s most picturesque branch lines running through the Tamar Valley. Other interesting places along the river are Cotehele, a beautiful historic house and gardens owned by the National Trust with a small quay and inn, and Morwhellam Quay, a theme park that staged a living history production for the BBC and where visitors can explore the rich mining heritage and watch blacksmiths, potters and craftsmen at work. The pannier market town of Tavistock is only nine miles from Callington and is well worth a visit on your way to a day’s walk on Dartmoor. A splendid base to explore south Cornwall and West Devon.
