"No 1 Valley Lodge is in a lovely location, very comfortable and clean, great value for money and the property owner is very helpful."
We had a lovely time and would make these suggestions:
1. Install WiFi if possible and a SMART TV. This will help with connectivity and keep customers entertained.
2. Have mixer taps fitted on the sinks and bath - this will save water and be more economical for you.
I would recommend this cottage to my friends and family - Thank you

"Great location for visiting Cornwall and Devon, staff at reception were friendly and helpful."
Wifi at the lodge would have been a big plus as the signal at the lodge was poor (and there was no Wifi in the pub when I called up). That said, we survived and had a good time.

"19-24/09/21
On the plus side the lodge was clean and tidy on our arrival."
The lodge is situated centrally for Cornwall and Devon attractions.
The staff at the reception are friendly and helpful.
Just a couple of negatives, we found it difficult on arrival to locate the lodge as the number was not obviously visable, could do with a shower over the bath tub and perhaps mixer taps on the kitchen sink.
All in all it was a good break

"The accommodation was good overall."
It was clean and the bathrooms were spotless. There were just a few things that would have changed it from good to excellent. The stairs and the kitchen floor were very creaky and noisy to walk on. The lounge curtains had seen better days and the patio was full of weeds which didnt encourage anyone to sit there. It would have been better with wifi as the mobile signal was bad. Otherwise our stay was pleasant and we liked the upside down lodge.
The staff on the complex were very welcoming and friendly too.

"It is really unfortunate that not all the crockery and cutlery was checked before we arrived as many items had been put away without being washed up properly."
The property is a little tired now and would massively benefit from repainting to freshen things up. The location is really good however and the site is small and friendly. Hopefully COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted and some of the soft furnishings can be returned to make the place more homely.

"Felt quite safe here."
Helpful Reception staff. Lodge is lovely and warm, close to facilities, but overlooks a small parking area.

"Highly Recommended totally relaxing holiday in a great part of the world af with added bonus of a September Warm weather period."
Accommodation very nice and well kept up to by the owner, both bathrooms having been recently installed. A freshly cooked Sunday Lunch at the Honicombe Manor Restaurant is a must at only £9.50 for two courses for a full Sunday Lunch what a bargain and loads of it. All Covid processes in place throughout the Accommodation and the Honicombe Estate to help you have a great safe holiday.

"The heating was pre set and couldn't be adjusted."
The shower was difficult to adjust the water temperature and the flow of water was poor. The overall water pressure was low. Maybe in the directions to the property it would be helpful to give a map of the site indicating No.1 as it is very difficult to find, it took us over 30mins and a visit to the Manor to locate it. However our stay was enjoyable and we had a good holiday and these minor things wouldn't put us off returning

"Honicombe is beautiful."
Indoor pool was great. Lovely and warm. Gym was also great as my adult children spend a great deal of time in the gym while we are at home.
Would have liked WiFi in the lodge.
Would highly recommended stunning views of the Tamar Valley. Clean and beautiful park. Staff were great to so friendly.

"Enjoyed our stay at Valley Lodge No 1 (929083) Honicombe Manor, beds were firm and comfortable, plenty of crockery, glass ware and cooking pots & pans available in the cupboards."
2 tea towels supplied. Coffee , Tea & sugar ready on arrival with Milk in the fridge. My only criticism would be on the cleanliness - some items in the kitchen were a bit sticky or greasy, and a deep clean wouldn't go a miss every so often. I know and appreciate that the cleaners are on a time limit for each lodge done. Over all I would recommend for a family holiday, although site a bit hilly for young family members, plenty of small play areas, pools lovely and warm with small but clean changing rooms.

"Fantastic accommodation, very spacious, clean & everything you could want."
The welcoming cakes were an added plus thank you! In fact expectations were exceeded as the bathrooms have been renovated since the picture was taken & are now much more modern. I minor issue was sorted without fuss by the owner so I couldn't have asked for more. Location was perfect with day trips to both the North & South coasts easily achievable. Would stay again

"The lodge suited our requirements perfectly."
It was clean and comfortable and the facilities on site were excellent. The reception staff were very helpful and could not do enough to make us feel welcome.
We had to contact the person responsible for looking after the lodge regarding a small problem. The lady concerned was very good and attended to this straight away. I would highly recommend this property.

"The holiday home was adequate for our needs but the location forced us to use the car at all times."
The "club house" was closed on our first day there as it closed on Sunday and also stopped providing meals during our visit. The swimming pool was good but yet again not available at all times when a chalk board was placed at the door stating it was in use by others.
The soft play area was quite inadequate for small children as it was limited.

"The holiday was easy to book and there were no issues getting into the lodge or using the facilities."
One point that I think could have been made clearer is the lodge has no washing machine and the onsite laundry facilities have been removed. There is a laundrette a short drive away in a nearby town.
Apart from the very small observation above we had a great holiday and Sykes were a pleasure to book with.
