"This is a lovely property and site and just like the photos."
The property has a great range of facilities and is comfortable to relax in. We were however disappointed that the feedback we have which goes against this property has all been raised by previous guests and not acted on despite the property management firm welcoming feedback. We really think that the broken flooring in the lounge (which nearly caused a nasty accident whilst we were holding our young baby) and exercise bike needing maintenance should have been resolved by now based on when this feedback has been raised previously. It was also really difficult to turn the temperature of the shower down.
It is a lovely property though and made for an easy stay to explore this part of Cornwall.

"The score of 8/10 is for Sykes Holidays."
They are a very good company but inspection of properties needs to be improved.
12 Meadow Retreat -
The area and park are lovely, quiet and pretty. The lodge was well laid out and clean. However, basic needs were not met. The following need to be addressed -
- filthy toilet brush
- only 2 mismatched glasses for drinking
- very uncomfortable sofa (cushions have lost support)
- lack of side tables for drinks in lounge
- legs on dining table loose (my husband had to tighten them but still wobbly)
- not enough hangers for clothing
- shower door does not seal properly
- sheet on bed had dirty marks down the side
- mattress not supportive on bed
- pillow poor quality and not supportive
- cinema room experience was not good due to sound bar not working because the connection lead between the sound bar and the TV was missing and no instructions for use of the system.

"Overall, we enjoyed our stay at 12 Meadow Retreat."
We've been visiting Cornwall for many years and this was the first time we stayed in a lodge, but the site was very quiet, clean and well manicured. The lodge itself was amazing, with a hot tub, cinema room, gym and sauna. Only drawback were the limited consumables at the lodge (i.e., bin bags, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid), which we had to top up. Given the cost of the holiday rental, it would be helpful not to have to go out to buy more of these things.
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at 12 Meadow Retreat and loved your lodge, thank you so much for leaving us your thoughts. The consumables that we provide for you are merely there to help you through your first night, in case you have forgotten to bring essentials with you, so I am so sorry that this was not made clear to you. I hope despite this you will return to see us again in the future.

"Enjoyed our stay."
The lodge was clean, comfortable and spacious. The views were great and found it to be a relaxing experience. The indoor jacuzzi was a bonus with the weather we had during our stay. Tracey gave us all the information we needed and also checked if everything was ok during our stay.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback David, I am so glad to hear that you had a peaceful and relaxing stay with us at 12 Meadow Retreat and enjoyed using the indoor jacuzzi. I hope you will be back to see us again, once the rain stops!!

"Absolutely amazing property with every small detail thought about."
Beautiful view of the pond from the decking area. Only set back was work was being done on our path which wasn’t finished until day 3 but apart from that it was perfect
Thank you so much for leaving us your wonderful feedback Katie, I am really happy to hear that you have had a lovely stay at 12 Meadow Retreat. I am so very sorry that it was not as relaxing as I would have hoped, due to the disturbance caused by the contractors during your visit.

"Me and my partner recently stayed at 12 meadow retreat this past bank holiday weekend."
This was our second time staying in the lodge. We always enjoy our stay, we’re able to relax completely and take advantage of the facilities! Especially the sauna and bath tub.
My only complaints would be the water pressure in the shower is quite low and the bin the bathroom had still not been replaced (from what I’ve seen from the most recent review from previous renter).
But overall is a lovely, romantic getaway and we would highly recommend to others.
I am delighted to hear you enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing break at 12 Meadow Retreat, Sophie-Anne and loved using the sauna and jacuzzi bath!
Thank you for letting us know the issues with your water pressure and the bin, I have passed these on to the relevant teams to resolve.
Many thanks also for giving us your recommendation, we really do appreciate it.
I hope you will be back to visit us for a third time in the very near future.

"Stunning property, clean, nicely decorated."
Some of the crockery could be updated as some had chips in them, but otherwise it contained all required for a comfortable stay.
The property was easy to find and was on a relatively small site. The site map was slightly misleading as it indicated there was an area of woodland you could walk in however this seemed to be under construction/demolition during our stay which we did not know about prior to our stay, which meant we had to go off site to do anything and there were no paths to safely go offsite so you had to drive into the town. But the grounds themselves seem well kept.
Thank you so much for leaving us your feedback Bobbie, we really do appreciate you giving us your time.
I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at 12 Meadow Retreat and loved the lodge.
Our site map does show the area of land you are speaking about , as it is earmarked for future development, however we do have to keep it fenced off at present due to safety reasons. I hope you managed to find the several lovely woodland walks very close to our resort.

"Absolutely loved the property, really nice and well kept."
There were a few issues raised by previous guests such as the exercise bike not working properly and their being no side table in the living room which I would have thought should have been fixed but haven’t. This is disappointing as they really should be sorted having been already mentioned.
Also the bathroom bin is broken and needs fixing.
These are small issues but do impact the otherwise really nice high quality of the lodge. The bed is really comfortable and the cinema room is fantastic.
We had a brilliant time and will definitely be back!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Emily, I really appreciate the time you took to leave us your thoughts.

My apologies for the issues with the exercise bike, unfortunately I was not previously aware of the problem, but I have now passed your comments to our maintenance team to rectify.
As new owners, we are currently in the process of refurbishing some of our lodges, but unfortunately this does take a little time. I'm sure that if a side table is required in the sitting room, this will be added, along with a new bathroom bin. I'm sorry this did not happen before your arrival.

"My husband and I booked a last minute break down to Cornwall, we stayed at 12 Meadow Retreat in Dobwalls, the facilities were amazing, our own sauna, double jacuzzi bath and our own little gym, it definitely lived up to its standards."
We had the park almost all to ourselves and what a beautiful park it is. The staff made sure to keep in touch, we had a call before we arrived to say they were looking forward to us staying with them and a call while we were staying with them to make sure everything was fine and there were no issues and there wasn't. I would highly recommend this park, we had an amazing stay and will most definitely be visiting again in the future.

"On the whole very clean and tidy and a nice place to stay."
The cutlery/crockery is a little sparse, with a full size dishwasher you need to use almost everything to fill it including pans. The cinema room TV was not connected to the internet so although Prime and Netflix were offered you could only use them in the main living area. Generally good quality equipment and nice facilities.
Thank you so much for your feedback Pete, we appreciate your comments so much.

I’m 5ft 5ins tall and was unable to use it unless using it standing up which I tried once but it was very creaky and clearly needed some maintenance. There were also no batteries in the remote for the TV in the gym

"We were on a two week holiday and an extra set of towels and bedding would of been useful we had to wash towels and they hadn’t dried by the next day luckily we had brought some of our own to use."
Some of the lighting on the site was not working the ones by the roadside near our lodge and opposite were not working at night so was very dark if you were to arrive back late and had forgotten to put your lodge outside lights on. These are just minor issues but equally important but we would definitely return again Thank you
