Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Beautiful location near Truro surrounded by nature."
It was great for a family holiday. The modern accommodation is spacious and all on one level making it very accessible. Nice and clean throughout. Overall very happy with our experience.

"On walking through the front door, we both said “Wow”."
Very impressive hallway and then we went into the lounge/dining/kitchen. Everything was of a high standard. The bedrooms and en suite shower rooms were impressive and the walk in shower room we renamed The Ballroom - it was huge.
The kitchen was very well equipped with washing machine, tumble drier, dishwasher, fridge and freezer as well as high quality crockery, glasses, cutlery and cook wear. Couldn’t think of anything that I needed which wasn’t provided. There was even a Lavazza coffee machine with pods and a welcome pack containing Cornish shortbread biscuits, fudge and tea which was a lovely touch.
The beds were extremely comfortable and provided a very good night’s sleep.
The decking area provided the opportunity to sit outside in the sun - yes it did shine for the majority of our 2 week break - and enjoy morning coffee as well as entertaining friends for lunch.
Michelle, the property manager, was extremely helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble for her to deal with - thank you.
Would we return to Elm Lodge? You bet we would.

"We had a lovely stay."
The location was great for exploring Cornwall. The lodges were on a very quiet location, with lovely countryside views. Yet only a very short drive to Truro.
The lodge is clean, spacious and well equipped. It has a spacious balcony to sit out on sunny days.
The only downside is we found the floors really creaky, which probably isn’t an issue for most, however when putting our toddler to bed, we found it disturbed him getting in and out of the room/walking along the hall: this probably won’t bother most people’s stay though and was only a minor inconvenience of an otherwise very lovely stay

"The only thing I would change is the position of the television in the lounge."
It is far too high. I know there’s a trend for placing TVs high on a wall (typically above a fire place) but it only works if you are standing up (like in a pub) otherwise it’s literally a pain in the neck when trying to watch from the comfort of the settee.

"The site is located just a 5 min drive from Truro, and near to 3 main supermarkets and the town centre."
The site is very peaceful away from the main road, good for walks around the surrounding countryside - however we used it more as a base for exploring the surrounding area. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are about 40-50 min away the beaches just outside of Hayle around 30 min, the fantastic Porthcurno beach, Land’s End, and the Tin Coast a bit further - probably 1hr to 1hr 20 depending on traffic.
The lodge is well kitted out with all main appliances and smart TV’s in each bedroom and the living area (not Apple TV).
Enough crockery for a family, but could do with more if the dishwasher is to be used efficiently.
Facilities at the site are lodges only, so bring ball games etc. we brought a Swing ball and left it up all week.
The deck is nice for an evening meal / drink.
We thought a great addition would be a hot tub for sunny evenings / sunsets to put the icing on the cake!
All in all it met our needs, some small tweaks to make recycling easier, the decking door needed some play to close, and we couldn’t get the outside lights to work (but could just have been us!) but otherwise a very enjoyable stay to explore the surrounding area. Many thanks!

"The Elm was spotlessly clean, well equipped to a high standard."
As in other reviews the floorboards do creak a lot and are loud, so if anybody is a light sleeper it can be a problem. Do to the hot weather the patio door seems to stick so is very hard to shut.

"My husband and I stayed at The Elm with my mother and it was a really lovely and quiet place to stay without being overlooked."
We were greeted by Michelle who was absolutely lovely. Everywhere was well maintained and clean inside. A fabulous lodge and perfect for our needs.
The only small annoyance was the creaky floorboards that were everywhere. I found myself trying to get down the corridor figuring out where to walk to prevent creaks like Indiana Jones avoiding booby traps.
Windows could have done with a clean on the outside as the view was lovely and was spoilt by the cobweb’s. However it was the countryside so I am probably being a bit picky even though the spiders were huge.

The lodge exceed our expectations, having a family member who is disabled accessibility issues can be a worry. No such worries with Elm lodge, ramp access to lodge, spacious doorways and a wonderful wet room/toilet.
Also Michelle and Vinnie, lodge management, were absolute stars. Nothing was to much trouble their help and assistance made our stay 5 star.
Will definitely be returning and would recommend this accommodation to anyone, especially if you have mobility issues.

"Overall the property was spacious, clean, and good value for money."
The three bedrooms are large with TV and the two en-suite are clean and modern. If I was to be picky they need a shaver/ electric toothbrush socket and my wife said that it would have been nice to have a full length mirror. The premises are in the middle of nowhere and the golf club is abandoned so the nearest bar and shop is a couple of miles away up a very steep road. Overall the accommodation is excellent but you are a drive away from any amenities.
Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback which has been discussed with the owner. A shaver/electric toothbrush socket is fitted to the sides of the illuminated mirrors in the bathrooms in each lodge. Full length mirrors are now also provided in each of the lodges.

Killiow Estate Lodges
A select collection of contemporary hi spec Eco Lodges nestling in the heart of the beautiful and historic Killiow Country Estate, the perfect base for families, groups, large parties or special occasions and ideally located for exploring the dramatic and stunning north coast, or the many tranquil coves and creeks of the south coast, both of which are within a 10 mile radius. Completed in 2019, all lodges feature a bright welcoming open plan living area with log fire, 4K smart TV, modern well equipped kitchen and the all-important cappuccino machine and wine cooler for those cosy nights in or chilled al fresco summer evenings. Three pristine bedrooms with smart TV’s can be arranged as a super king double or twin bedroom as required, and two feature luxury en-suites with double walk-in showers. In addition, a family wet room with large shower area and discrete grab rails, single level accommodation with no steps, extra wide corridor and gentle ramp access from an adjacent private parking bay make these deluxe Cornish retreats fully wheelchair accessible.

An enclosed outdoor deck area complete with dining furniture provides the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining in this unique peaceful sanctuary. Truro, Cornwall’s historic county town with its abundance of amenities, cathedral, museum and eclectic range of art galleries, bars and restaurants is a 10 minute drive. A daily boat service between Truro and Falmouth which showcases the magnificent river and coastal views is a great favourite. Also within a short drive are several parks, woodland walks and the beautiful Trelissick Gardens (National Trust) where you can enjoy picturesque waterside grounds and stunning views. The maritime town of Falmouth and its famous museum lie just 10 miles ‘down the road’ and, slightly further afield, the Atlantic surfing beaches of Portreath, Porthtowan and St Agnes are also easily accessible. Situated within Cornwall’s ‘golden triangle’ Killiow is the ideal spot for creating those special lasting memories with families, friends and new acquaintances alike.

TRURO
St Agnes 8.6 miles; Falmouth 11 miles; Redruth 11.5 miles, Newquay 13.6 miles, Eden Project 18 miles, Lizard Peninsula 18 miles, St Ives 25 miles, Land's End 36 miles.
Truro is the retail centre of Cornwall with a good range of independent shops as well as national stores all within a compact city centre. With its eclectic range of art galleries, bars, restaurants, cinema, theatre, museum and outstanding cathedral this small city is a superb year round destination. Steeped in history and intriguing architecture there is always plenty to do and see. Just meandering through the Georgian cobbled streets is a pleasure in itself. With many peaceful parks all within a short stroll from the centre it is a most relaxing city to visit. A wonderful day trip can be had from Truro to Falmouth along the stunning Fal estuary with many options to disembark and pick up the boat later along the scenic river trip.
