"We were thrilled with our accommodation at Killiow Lodges."
The lodge ('Birch'), was well equipped, clean and comfortable. It was perfect for our needs and the information received was helpful and accurate. The pleasant location suited our planned holiday activities, being centrally placed in Cornwall, near Truro, which couldn't have been better. We would certainly return without hesitation.

"Thank you to Michele for greeting us at the property in such a friendly and helpful manner."
Birch was perfect for us, loads of space and spotless when we arrived. Very comfy beds too. Being on one level and having parking so close makes the property very accessible as we had two under 5’s with us. Only suggestion would be to maintain the decking as there was a missing rail and it could do with treating or painting - but this didn’t detract from our overall very positive experience.

"A perfect property for 3 couples to share."
Clean, convenient and well equipped.

"The lodge exceeded our expectations."
It was spacious, clean,well equipped and user friendly. Oh and there was a coffee machine. The site manager,Michelle, was friendly and informative. It was a great experience. The parkland surroundings were superb too. Happy days.
-
"Absolutely lovely property."
will definitely stay there again. It would have been nice if there were more bin liners in the kitchen to separate for the recycling.
-
"We had a wonderful 12-day stay at The Birch in Killiow over Christmas and New Year."
The cottage is spacious, incredibly cosy, and equipped with everything you could possibly need, including excellent Wi-Fi. Michele was a fantastic host, taking great care of us throughout our visit. The location is perfect, making it an ideal getaway. We can’t wait to return!

"Great, quite site, Michelle is a delight, turning up on her day off to ensure everything was okay with us."
Lodge warm, comfortable and fully equipped, can't make any suggestions for improvements because it was perfect. Hoping to visit again in future!

"Lovely accommodation, very spacious."
Kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. Beautiful location too. Negatives would be that we stayed for 2 weeks and would have liked a change of bedding for the second week instead of having the same sheets for 2 weeks. Although there are substantial grounds nothing is marked so easy to get lost. A couple of marked timed trails might have been better. One shorter one longer for those that wanted to walk round the estate. Some areas where the picnic tables were was a bit overgrown so harder for the kids to play football on (if wanting to invest, a kids play area would be a great addition). But overall a really lovely holiday, friendly welcome and lovely place to relax in at the end of the day.

"The lodges are amazing."
So spacious and beautifully equipped and maintained. Lovely quiet spot. Michelle was very helpful and available if needed. Thank you for a lovely stay.
-
"One of our party has mobility problems and the lodge is perfect for us."
The wet room as well as two more bathrooms are ideal. The wide doorways and easy access make moving around easy. Michelle is wonderful, she puts risers on two sofas for us to make sitting easier and nothing us too much trouble. Thank you Michelle for making our holiday home so good for us.

"Fabulous lodge, so modern and extremely clean."
Very well thought out. Such a quiet and relaxing site. Excellent spot for exploring all Cornwall has to offer. Michelle greeted us upon arrival and is such a lovely Lady. Overall a fabulous place to stay, I have already recommended this site to family and friends.

"What a lovely place !"
Warm, comfortable, and plenty of room. All the comforts you require and each bedroom set up for individual needs. Stayed for a week , could have stayed for a month comfortably. Will definitely be back. Truro 15 mins away, lovely garden centre just down the road that serve great snacks and meals. Ideal for Edon project, Flambards, National Trust, Screech Owl Sanctury and many others. Michelle was there for our arrival and made sure we got settled in , she’s an absolute gem.
-
"A very spacious lodge very clean and comfortable have had a lovely stay great to look out window and see rabbits and squirrels playing."
Michelle who welcomed us was a lovely lady and very helpful. would definitely recommend this lodge if you just want to get away and chill in the peace and quiet.
-
"Lovely lodge and reat location for exploring Cornwall."
Lovely to meet the host Michelle and learn about the area and lodges. Lodge very clean, well kitted out with everything you need, the site is quiet and well looked after. Would definitely stay again and would recommend.
-
"Birch Lodge is set in an ideal position and setting."
It has everything supplied inside to be able to settle straight into the holiday mode. Very clean and comfortable and the site is managed by the very attentive Michelle. Not an easy place to find, but once you know your way around its idealy located for Truro town and Truro train station which makes travelling to Falmouth or St Ives a doddle.
-
"Michelle was great hostess."
Lodge very clean with plenty of room great location to access Cornwall Maybe would be nice to have a list of local walks in the lodge
-
"The property was perfect for the less abled."
Michelle was incredible, she arranged lifters for the furniture, asked we if needed seating for the wet room and generally went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. This is an ideal venue for parties of 6 of any age and ability. Cannot wait to go back. Thanks Michelle.
-
"Beautifully situated cottage in peaceful surroundings, had everything we needed."
Clean and very comfortable. Good location for travelling to other places. Wonderful holiday.
-
"Fantastic… arrived and was met by the manager."
.who answered any questions we had. Ideally located to visit everywhere we wanted to visit. Truro, and all its amenities are a short drive away. Nice and secluded and so peaceful. Facilities were fantastic, clean and everything worked as it should. Contacted Sykes about iron who said there wasn’t one, when in fact there was. Would we go again….in a heartbeat!!!

"For a disabled person, 'Birch' could not be bettered."
The walk-in shower was the best I have come across. The only drawback was the purposely reduced hot water temperature in the wash basin. Apperently, we disabled people are not thought capable of adjusting the water temperature to suit. Those of us who lack the co-ordination usually have the common sense to get our carer to do such things for us, as do those of us who lack the sensory perception to realise when things are hot. This did not detract too much from the over-all delight of finding somewhere that caters for the disabled. Our hostess could not have been more helpful in supplementing the aids that were available.

"It was wonderful to met Michelle there, what a beautiful lodge so peaceful."
We had a pleasure week to stay there, felt like a home. It would be nice if add a swimming pool and playground there to keep kids entertained because any beaches are fairly far from the lodge about 20 mins each. Anyway it is beautiful place to stay and so quiet relaxing to listen to few birds. Will come again in the near future. Thank you:-)

"This property was absolutely amazing inside and out - the pictures provided do not do it justice."
One of the cleanest cottages I have booked! Michelle was lovely and met us on arrival, she was very helpful and gave us almost all the information we required for our stay. Only downside of the entire stay, was the fact that we were unable to have access to warm water in the night. This was only brought to our attention when we got in late one day and got into the showers, only to find that the water was ice cold - when ringing Michelle to ask for help, she informed us that the boiler switches off after a certain point - something which we not made aware off on arrival and definitely something that everyone should be aware off!! If were made aware of this fact, we would definitely have still gotten ahead with the booking, but planned ahead to ensure we can shower before bed with warm water! - Apart from this small hiccup, I really couldn't fault our stay. Definitely recommend, but also advise that the boiler situation be made clear on arrival so guests can plan around it!
Thank you for your feedback which we always welcome. The boiler comes on at 5am and stays on until 10pm at night. We have never had any other complaints about lack of hot water but if you are showering, best to do this between the hours of 5am and 10pm. Property Owner

"Had a great family holiday staying at the Birch Lodge."
The Lodge was very clean and had great facilities. Michelle even spent the time to great us on arrival. Highly recommended, would definitely visit again.
-
"There was 6 of us in our party and we were very much impressed with the lodge in appearance,space & equipment provided."
It was extremely comfortable. It was also a great base for us to explore Cornwall on our Motorbikes. Michelle met us on our arrival and she was very helpful and friendly and we knew if we had any queries or needed any information we could contact her. We will definitely be back. Thanks Michelle it was lovely to meet you. Dawn and the bike crew

"Great recommendation from Sykes ."
Really easy and efficient booking process . Fantastic accommodation which was clean , well equipped and well managed . Michelle the manager was great .
-
"The lodges are spacious, well finished and equipped to a high standard."
We were warmly welcomed on our arrival, with Michelle opening a locked gate for one of our party who took a wrong turn and meeting another one who arrived late in the evening when the main road was closed and showing them an alternative route in, which was very much appreciated . The lodges are set in lovely grounds and the area is very quiet. We had a very relaxed holiday.

"Great spot … far from the madding crowd."

We found the property Manager Michelle to be very friendly and helpful, overall it was a very relaxing and enjoyable week.

"Everything was exactly as per the booking and the photos of the cabin were spot on."
Modern, clean and all mod cons - the best asset that this staycation has is Michelle the site manager. Nothing was too much trouble for Michelle - thanks for making our week so great!

"What can I say!"
!! These lodges are wonderful. We spent 2 weeks in Birch and we were extremely comfortable. The furniture, beds, bedding and linens are all of quality and everything was spotlessly clean. The appliances in the kitchen are excellent and easy to work, and the dressing of the lodge with matching items in the bathrooms, pretty glass vases and faux plants dotted around made it feel homely and bright. Everything was so well organised throughout it was an absolute pleasure to stay here. So peaceful and quiet with lovely country surroundings yet very central to lots of places to visit and the people who manage and look after these lodges are also extremely helpful and are very pleasant! I would recommend a visit to Killiow Lodges all day long!

"As a family of 3 generations we found the accommodation excellent, it suited all of our needs."
The central Cornwall position was great for moving around, we covered most of the County with ease. I would certainly use Sykes Cottages again, and heartily recommend them. We had a great holiday and a lot of it was down to superb accommodation.
