Peregrine Lodge - idillic Cornwall retreat

We very much enjoyed our stay at the lodge, it was comfortable had everything you would need from kitchen utensils to DVD’s. That was a great touch. The kids bedroom had lovely little beds. Yes it was an older lodge to the surrounding other lodges but that didn’t bother us one bit. The woodland walk and golf course on site was fantastic!

The decking to rear was a little broken and the gate didn’t shut to keep the dog in. The bedding on the double bed was put on inside out and the bottom sheet didn’t look the best. The duvet cover has a water mark type stain on but the bed was very comfy and we slept like a log!

Location

I strongly advise against booking this property. The accommodation conditions were completely unacceptable 😔 Mould: Visible throughout the entire house – on the ceiling, walls, and unfortunately also on the duvets. Dirt and dust: The house was not properly cleaned. Surfaces were dusty, the floors were dirty, and there were cobwebs in the corners. Unpleasant smell: There was a musty, stale smell inside, likely due to dampness and lack of ventilation. Bathroom issues: • Cobwebs in the bathroom. • No insulation on the heater cable. • No hot water in the sink. • In the shower, only freezing cold or scalding hot water was available – it was impossible to adjust the temperature properly. The bathroom cabinet was broken and rusty. There was also no hot water in the kitchen. Bedroom wardrobe: Inside the wardrobe we found a large amount of bedding, towels, and even men’s swim shorts. Missing essentials: • There was no toilet paper. • No basic toiletries were provided (such as soap or shampoo), which are usually standard in such accommodations. • Worn-out equipment: The entire interior and furnishings of the house were clearly old and neglected. The carpet under the fireplace was visibly burnt, which looked dangerous. Unsafe terrace: The wooden boards on the terrace bent under our feet when we stepped on them.

Setting and location perfect. Quiet friendly site.

Difficult to gain access on arrival due to poor communication from host. Lodge very tired on outside. In need of some overdue maintainence. Wooden decking very rickety. Due to poor external maintenance some evidence of damp a mould in places. Some electrics in need of immediate attention and hot water boiler wasn't working.

Dirty and very old.. the decking is a death trap...stood on it and it dropped like a trampoline .. This place should not be on a reputable site . The site is lovely and wouldn't hesitate booking again but not in this lodge.

The lodge

Nothing

Everything they had been told not to advertise there lodge anymore as they owe the site lots of money we were lucky we didn't get sent away this property wants taking off your site

For what we paid, the stay was exceptional value for money. The holiday park was easy to find just off the main road, but set in a really peaceful location with no noise whatsoever. Grounds very well maintained, and delightful walk around the golf course with far reaching views, or down through pretty woods to the river. Ideal for dogs. Separate games room for youngsters, plus a basic gym, and an outdoor tennis court. Our chalet was warm, with hot water for shower. Thoughtful touch providing hot water bottles, but we didn't need them. Kitchen with oven, microwave, toaster, fridge freezer. TV had a range of channels.

I had read previous reviews on cleanliness and thought the owner might have done so too - and perhaps instructed the cleaner to clean! But no...there were thick cobwebs everywhere! Although the bathroom and kitchen were clean, the floors were filthy - long white hairs (dog?!) and a contact lens on the floor! We got the vacuum cleaner out, but even that was absolutely filthy! On the balcony there was evidence of a pile of hairs, and about two seasons worth of twigs & leaves just swept to one corner. Although the decor was modern, the place looked sad and in need of an overhaul. The toilet roll holder was hanging on one screw, and the toilet seat was at such an angle that solids failed to hit water and required cleaning up - but no toilet brush to do so. Not even any soap provided! Bedrooms small - especially the twin room which was small even for teenagers. Also, no cupboard in the kitchen to unpack food. We couldn't get the TV to tune into the DVD player, not could we find any instructions, which was disappointing as there was a massive collection of DVDs. This chalet is in a group of 3, but the other 2 have already been removed. I would think this one will soon be decommissioned too - especially as there is a massive tree branch resting on the roof. Choose this chalet knowing the above. Also, be warned that everywhere from this place requires a long drive to get anywhere.

Nice location for what we wanted on a quiet park. Perfect for what we needed

Unit is nice but feels like it could do with s little touching up in a few areas. Dvd player in living room wouldn't connect to tv.

Not fit for purpose

Poor standard, damp

Comfortable bed, peaceful, central location, Freedom to come and go, i.e. no gates,etc. Good parking and easy access to the chalet The price.

Faulty blinds, quite a few cosmetic faults Eg. Loo roll holder hanging off. Didn't like the damp feeling and mould patches. There was a large melted patch of carpet under the fire, which didn't instill much trust.
