Very private in amongst the other lodges within gated area So much space and bonus grounds and lakes to walk around straight from the door Great location Met Phil who was very friendly and helpful Already thinking when we can rebook for another visit

Lovely secluded spot but not far from the Atlantic Highway so easy access to lots of nearly towns to visit. Lodge was beautiful and large, spotless and welcoming. We had a very nice stay and would come back here again in the future.

.A lovely stay in Merlin Lodge. The lodge was spacious,, comfortable and very clean, and the interior was to a very high standard. The surrounding area was pretty with lakeside walks - handy for dogs though they had to be kept on leads. The little garden was also useful with a gate to contain dogs, though no direct access from inside the lodge so wRead moree were reluctant to let them out unsupervised. There was a very nice outside area that we couldn't use due to bad weather. The gated entrance made the location feel really secure. Perfect location for getting to north Cornwall and the north coast. Also well situated for main roads into central Cornwall. Would definitely recommend this holiday lodge. The owner was very helpful with our queries. Hide

I loved staying here and would have no hesitation in returning. Its a private spot and even though there is a busy road nearby, the noise of traffic was not intrusive. The property is well looked after, well equipped, spacious, warm, light and airy with two outside areas and a small, enclosed garden, great for children and/or dogs. The area arounRead mored the lodge was great for dog walks especially around the lakes and we were only a few miles from so many beautiful coves and beaches. I was fortunate to meet the owner who was very friendly and helpful. Hide
