The lodge is a wonderful base from which to explore Cornwall. It is within a short walk of Tregonhawke beach, which is gorgeous. The property manager is very responsive and gives you guidance on what to and where to dine.
Lovely property with everything you need away from home.
The location is secluded, which may not suit everyone but a short walk to a great beach. (it is steep and tidal)
The hot tub was fab, clean and ready to jump straight into.
Lovely Holiday Chalet with plenty of room for our party of 5 adults. Welcome pack was a nice touch and our Host provided everything you needed for cooking, serving etc. Hot tub was put to good use every day. Gorgeous views over the hills and to Torpoint. Perfect location for us as had a family wedding at Polhawn Fort.
The lodge is situated in a less busy part of Cornwall with lovely views and very close to beaches. Always something to look at from the peaceful verandah and hot tub. It is a quiet site that is gradually adding further amenities. Owner Julie is easily contactable and forthcoming with the essential arrival and departure information. Overall, a very pleasant and enjoyable stay.
We travelled to Whitsands Bay for a relaxing getaway and werenât disappointed on arrival. The chalet lodge was clean and tidy and perfect for what we wanted.
3 decent sized bedrooms and all the amenities you need to make your stay comfortable.
The resort itself was very nice with friendly staff, a great restaurant and a swimming pool for the children.
The lodge overlooks fields and beautiful views which were great to gaze over at sunset and first thing in the morning.
You are a short walk from The beach and although a bit of a climb back up at low tide the beach goes on for miles.
Really enjoyed our time away and would definitely go back.
Nice property, well managed, clean, development is a little run down
Nice property in a beautiful part of the world. The manager is fantastic to work with and the property is cared for. It is a house in a large development that is not cared for. I understand the owner cannot control this but it did make it very difficult for my 70 year old parents as the walkway to the place is a little hazardous (and there is a ghost pool that looked amazing at one time). Especially for the price this is a wonderful location and we recommend it highly!
We enjoyed a lovely week. The lodge proved to be a good base for enjoying the local beaches, villages and generally exploring the area.
The lodge was clean, spacious, very well equipped and has a great view from the balcony which you can also enjoy when relaxing in the hot tub.
We love the area and would certainly like to re-visit.
The only negative for us was the on-site "restaurant". We ate their twice. First time was on the night of arrival as we were tired so just stayed local. Food was just ok. Second time around the food was terrible and although the bar staff were very good and refunded our meals (raw chicken) it was a very disappointing experience. Nevertheless, we had a great time overall and would definitely recommend staying in Julie's Lodge.
Overall the property was well stocked with everything you need and the views are lovely.
However on arrival the place smelled really doggy and we had to open all the windows. We later discovered during the week when we did a hoover through it was the Henry hoover. I think the bag or filters need changing.
The drawers in the bedrooms were a bit dirty and there were spiders and webs on the ceiling in a bedroom and dog hairs on one of our beds and the outdoor seating. The hot tub also had dirt in it. So I think maybe the cleaner needs a word.
I did report all this to the owner when we left but she did not respond to me. Previously she had been quite friendly. I think she thought we were complaining instead of giving feedback, but if that was the case we would have kept ringing her while we were there. Instead we just cleaned things up and got on with it.
The outside lighting also doesnt work so we couldnt see to take the dogs out at night, which was quite dangerous.
Worse than that was a metal spike sticking out of the grass near the path by the steps to the Lodge which my niece stood on in her slippers. She was very lucky it didnt go through her foot.
Also trying to get our luggage down a steep gravel hill and steps a good 20 metres from the car park is no joke. It is slippery and you have to be pretty fit to manage it. We also fell out with other residents as we were not told that we were only allowed one parking space and we were 6 people coming in 3 cars. We just parked in empty spots only to find out they belonged to other Lodges.
On the plus side, when we overcame these obstacles we had a lovely holiday.
The hot tub was a lovely way to unwind every evening and the Lodge has lovely furniture and is very comfortable.
I feel Julie felt me telling her about the few issues we had was a bad thing and not constructive and a way for her to improve things as she didnt respond to my text message at all.
We were only trying to be helpful. The only true downsides I see are the distance you have to carry your luggage. Everything else is fixable.
The property was in a fabulous location and easy to get to along Military Road. The property was well equipped and spacious for the 5 of us. The addition of the hot tub was a bonus but there was no way to turn down the temperature on a really hot day. The sunsets were spectacular and something to see! Julie is really helpful and responsive to any questions. Overall a super lodge and somewhere we all would recommend.
The owner, Julie, was very helpful and great with communication. a lovely welcome pack presented on arrival gave it a very nice touch. The Lodge is beautifully furnished and well set up with 3x large double bedrooms. Amazing views and location for the beach, long walks or a trip over to Plymouth via the foot ferry. Restaurant on site is great too. I highly recommend a visit here.
In die Jahre gekommen, unsauber, nicht gut vorbereitet, absolut ĂŒberteuert
Die Kommunikation mit der EigentĂŒmerin war bis zur Ankunft o.k. Als wir ankamen, war unser Fahrzeug nicht registriert wie versprochen. Alles im Haus ist in die Jahre gekommen und nichts war vorbereitet. FĂŒr den KĂŒhlschrank, den Herd und den Gasboiler mussten wir die versteckten Schalter selber finden. Das Haus war nicht sauber. Alles was man anfasst war klebrig, in den Schubladen lagen alte KrĂŒmmel, an den SchrĂ€nken klebten Speisereste und der Herd war alles andere als sauber. Das Inventar ist aus allem zusammengestellt, was man woanders nicht mehr benutzen möchte. Die Pfannen waren eine absolute Katastrophe. Was dem Fass den Boden ausgeschlagen hat war der MĂ€usekot im Pfannenschrank. Die Platzdeckchen waren saudreckig, der Hund mit weiĂen Haaren, der vor uns drin war ĂŒberall zugegen und der Pool absolut nicht sauber. Eine Diskussion mit der EigentĂŒmerin endete mit: âihr könnt ja ausziehenâ. Da aber so kurzfristig nichts zu bekommen war, was nur annĂ€hernd vergleichbar gewesen wĂ€re (mit 2 Hunden), haben wir den erste Nachmittag damit verbracht alles zu reinigen, was wir benutzen wollten. Da wir auch einen Pool haben, ist auch das gelungen. Die Annehmlichkeiten, mit denen geworben wird, treffen nicht so zu. Der Swimmingpool der Anlage ist nicht inbegriffen und muss bezahlt werden (6 ÂŁ). Die GewĂŒrze usw. teilweise 2020 abgelaufen.Alle Klammotten rochen muffig nach dem Schrank waren. Nie wieder und schon gar nicht fĂŒr so einen Preis. Leider können wir keine Bilder hochladen âčïž
tolle Lage mit wunderschönem Blick ĂŒber Felder und Wiesen bis zum Meer und Plymouth.
voll ausgestattetes Cottage, schön dekoriert und eingerichtet. Julie ist eine sehr nette Vermieterin, die jederzeit ansprechbar ist.
Es fehlte uns an nichts und wĂŒrden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Vielen Dank an Julie
Fantastic location and very comfortable property. Had a lovely few days here, walking distance to a wonderful beach if you put the effort into the steps. Great attractions and lovely villages nearby to visit. Hot tub was lovely.
Site was quiet which really suited us (there was a bar and entertainment if thatâs what you want).
Drive to the site is a bit of an ordeal down single track lanes, if you follow the satnav, but there is a good road if you go via Antony.
All in all had a great time and would happily go back.
This is a great place to explore the forgotten corner of Cornwall from. Julie the host is very helpful and friendly. The lodge is unusually well equipped with all the bits and bobs you take for granted at home. . Views are fantastic, with local access to some of the best beaches and the site has recently much improved facilities. Highly recommend.
Lovely furniture, plenty of equipment in the kitchen, really comfy beds, good hot showers, lovely hot tub. All really really clean and smelt lovely too. Great communication with owner before we left and while we were there. Would definitely recommend and would go back. Whitsand Bay is very quiet but with great cafe en route down the cliff. Be prepared for a steep but beautiful walk down!
I love when you find a property to stay for a week and it feels homily with a good comfortable sofa to watch the tele. The kitchen is super well equipped with high end appliances. The views from the hot tub are stunning and you can see cows, sheep, horses a glimpse of the sea. Everything was just perfect and Julie is very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended.
Wonderful spacious lodge with everything you need and amazing views! The hot tub was a great addition. The facilities are not as advertised, which is not a problem when the weather is good and the site is a bit rundown and unkept. Julie was really helpful and very responsive. The beach is great, definitely worth the steep climb. We had a lovely holiday.
Would definitely staying here! The house is clean and wonderfully decorated and the hot tub is ideal! Just a short walk down to the beach and lots of local walks to pubs nearby too.
Wonderful stay at Whitsand Bay. Julie was very helpful with advice, suggestions and local knowledge. The lodge boasted beautiful views and location was superb. The lodge was generously equipped with some lovely additions such as a fabulous Nespresso coffee machine and a selection of pods. Thank you
Great communication- easy to find - very well-equipped kitchen and all mod cons. Lovely walks and beaches nearby. Particularly enjoyed walk to Rame Head and wild deer and ponies. Hot tub was great and much appreciated. 5 adults and we didnât feel crowded as main room spacious. Very comfortable stay all round. Huge thanks to Julie.
My name is Julie, my family and I have spent many happy holidays down in Cornwall. Whitsand is a beautiful place. I remember when I first saw the location and fell in love with it straight away. Even years on the views still take my breath away. I have two children both in their 20âs who still love going to Cornwall and live near Ascot.
We chose this location as we wanted a real get away and the perfect change of scenery . It is the perfect get away! This coast line is so beautiful, the beach is never busy. It is also dog friendly all year round. There is a great cliff top cafe which sells home made food and they will make you up rolls to take to the beach. There are also vegan and gluten free options .
The property is easy to maintain and within 5 mins of arriving we can be sat down with a glass of wine, open up the French doors and enjoy the fabulous views ! The hot tub is extremely popular and is for sole use of this property. It is treated with chlorine so if you or your children have skin conditions please be aware.
