"On site facilities are excellent and staff in the bar/restaurant were very friendly and helpful."
Regarding the accommodation- fixtures and fittings were originally to a high standard - we have stayed at this site many times over the last 12 years including previous stays at #7 Water’s Edge - however maintenance has not been kept up.
Lounge/Kitchen area is still very nice with good views across the lake. There are some games provided and TV/AppleTv/Bluray player are nice to have for a lazy afternoon at home and sofas, table & chairs are all good quality.
Cleaning routine had failed to pick up mouse droppings in multiple cupboards- I hadn’t expected to have to sort out a visit from Rentokill whilst on holiday. We were unable to report this issue immediately due to a Bank Holiday, however this was resolved within 24 hours of being reported to CharterOak.
Flooring and skirting in the en-suite needs replacement due to mould & damp. The worktop in the kitchen also needs attention.
Decking needs attention- some boards have already been replaced. More needs to be done in the near future. Table & chairs on the deck need maintenance (cleaning/sanding/minor repairs) or to be replaced.
We were quite tolerant of the issues due tonour fond memories of family holding over a number of years, however I would be surprised if a first-timer would be wishing to return based on this experience. We still find this a very relaxing location and would consider booking again but only in one of the lodges which has had recent maintenance. We would not rebook WE7 at this time unless this issues mentioned have been addressed.
We registered these issues with Sykes on day 1 of our holiday. It is now 9 days since they were registered we have not been contacted other than to receive a complaint reference.

"The site was beautiful, really well maintained, unfortunately the accommodation was not to the standard we would expect when booking through Sykes, the drainage was very poor, the shower tray kept over flowing so we had to keep turning the shower off to allow it to drain, the lodge smelt of sewage, the toilet and sinks gurgled through the night, waking us up, the bedroom curtains were mouldy, there was a nail sticking out of the decking which my daughter stood on."
The general cleanliness of the lodge was of a poor standard. We would stay on this site again but not in this lodge which is a shame because the location over looking the lake was beautiful.
Thank you for leaving us your thoughts after your stay at 7 Water's Edge. Thank you also for your lovely comments regarding our resort, the team do work extremely hard to maintain the site as best they can, despite the ever-growing foliage and grass! I am however sorry to hear that you had some issues while staying with us. We really do want for our guests to have the best time, and I apologise that this was not the case for you. This lodge is currently being looked at and recommendations and improvements will be made to the owner. I hope despite the issues you encountered you will return to stay with us again in the future.

"The property exceeded our expectations."
The property was clean, spacious, modern and situated in beautiful and well maintained grounds. We were next to the lake, which was peaceful and full of wild life. During our stay we saw carp, ducks, geese and foxes which added to our experience. The hot tub was lovely and was routinely checked throughout our stay. The reception staff were faultless. I would definitely return and highly recommend the property.
What a wonderful review Paulette, thank you so much! I am absolutely delighted that you loved your stay at 7 Water's Edge and enjoyed connecting with all the wildlife at Stonerush Lakes! We have goslings here too now! I look forward to being able to welcome you back to stay again in the very near future.

"On first inspection the lodge was perfect, however there are a few things that need attention."
Firstly it would be nice to have more coat hangers, we stopped for a week and there was only 3 per person provided. Secondly the curtains in the main bedroom are covered in mould at the bottom so definitely need replacing.
The hot tub is wonderful and the view over the lake is beautiful. It was nice to just sit and watch the birds and squirrels. Very relaxing and peaceful.
I am so happy to hear that you had a peaceful and relaxing stay with us at 7 Water's Edge, Paula. Thank you for leaving us your feedback regarding the hangers and curtains, I have passed your comments to our housekeeping manager to resolve.

"Excellent stay at clean comfortable lodge with relaxing hot tub."
We were very pleased with the services and facilities and location in peaceful spot by the lake. The staff were very friendly and accomodating, even switching our booking at no extra cost , when our daughter hurt her leg and couldn't go away on the original date. Sally gave us helpful local advice on the best beaches to visit and we did and really loved it. Would recommend and go back. Thank you.
[Tiny recommendation for a mattress topper for single bed as springs were bit lumpy for daughter. There is small amount of black round sink due to water not being wiped properly, this is not owner's fault but perhaps some protection could be installed?]
Thank you so much for leaving us your lovely feedback Elizabeth, we really appreciate your time.

"This was like a home from a home, it had everything you could possibly need and more."
The property was very clean and tidy with modern finishings throughout. The balcony overlooked a peaceful lake creating the most relaxing of environments. The hot tub was fabulous, and surprisingly private considering it was at the side of the property.
The only thing I might change would be the trees in front of the balcony as it does block the view slightly, that being said it does mean that you have more privacy. An outdoor light would be useful also as it is pitch black apart from the indoor light. These however wouldn’t stop me booking this particular property again.
Sally and her team were lovely and welcoming, The Mill restaurant looked lovely however we only had a drink on the outdoor terrace.
Overall 10/10 from us! We will be back :)

"The cabin was lovely but there was a pile of off- cut wood and rubbish left beside this cabin."
It did not appear that any work had been done on this cabin but the rubbish was left next to parking space.
Also the second bedroom we could not open the door to outside which means that there is no way the escape in a fire but also could not cool down the room.
Also the dinning room chairs the legs are all loose and we were concerned they may break.
Many thanks Julie

"Surprised to be asked for feedback when Sykes didn’t bother to respond to the feedback I sent when requested on the first day of the holiday."
Lodge reasonably clean but could be better like last year. Facilities again could be better: blinds still not fixed and locks iffy (but maintenance were prompt on attending on the Sunday morning when one handle sheared off on the Saturday night). Freezer hadn’t been emptied after the previous occupants. In all, decent enough but a bit tired and in need of TLC to be anything like luxury. Hot tub still a nice touch hut a little effort on the part of the (corporate) owner and this would be a far better holiday home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we try to schedule a refresh during the quieter times to ensure the lodge is up to the standard expected. The lodges are privately owner so will pass your comments to them.

"The setting was truly beautiful and very hard to beat, however the lodge was very dirty."
The dust was so thick you could write your name in it. my husband dropped his swim shorts on the floor and when we picked them up they were filthy. The toilet was stained and as for the toilet brush was disgusting! I might suggest a plastic sort next time so it doesn't rust.
We were also very disappointed when we walked up to the restaurant on Tuesday, where we thought we would have a drink and order from the takeaway menu, however we were told it was only available on a Monday! Apparently it was on a sign outside the restaurant but it was NOT on the one in the lodge, which was the one that we were looking at. Our driver had had a drink by that time and we were unable to drive anywhere else and as we didn't know the takeaway menu was not an option we didn't have anything back at the lodge so we went hungry! This issue definitely needs to be addressed. We spoke Christine when we picked up the keys and were not made aware of it. The cocktail we had was rubbish too. It seemed to be very under staffed, the girl working the bar said she was the only member of staff on. It put us off so much we cancelled our reservation at the restaurant for the Wednesday and had a lovely meal out instead.
There was no welcome information pack, eg things to do in the area, local taxi phone numbers, takeaway menus as you cant eat on site.
We chatted to a gentleman when we took our rubbish to the communal bin and he had asked if we had seen the otter or the kingfisher. It would have been lovely to know this information so as we could have kept an eye out for them.
The beds were comfortable and clean but a spare duvet or blanket would have been nice as the duvets were thin and my husband was cold.
We paid a lot of money and our expectations were not met.
Overall stunning location but poor cleanliness and lack of information. If these issues are rectified it would be an ideal getaway.
Thank you for leaving your feedback, we do ask people when they arrive to let us know if there are problems so we can sort at the time, we have someone available for this until 6.00pm.
The opening times for the Bar, Restaurant and Reception are clearly displayed both in the outside noticeboard box and on the door when Entering the Old Mill.
The menus change on a regular basis so advise people to look at our website for the latest options along with opening times.
There is an information folder which contains as much as possible it details the local amenities, petrol stations, Banks ATM & Transport, Days out like the Eden Project, Adrenalin Quarry, Treasure Trails etc it is difficult to cover everybodies preferred activities.
We do provide free WIFI so people can do some research on what is open at the time they are staying.

"Fabulous property and had a really relaxing week which was just what we were looking for."
Located near some really great places to visit and when not feeling like that chilling out in the hot tub was perfect.
If there was one grip it would be the inside glass of doors to decking not cleaned. Everything else was spotless and comfortable.
Especially loved waking up to the geese, ducks and hungry carp.
Kiki the dog loved the warm welcome she got at the mill restaurant and we loved the food and service.
We are glad you had a relaxing stay and were able to visit some of Cornwall's attractions, The wildlife are always an interesting part of the surroundings even whilst in the hot tub. We are glad Kiki also enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you for you great feedback.

"We had a very relaxing and enjoyable four night stay at 7 Waters Edge."
The surroundings are beautiful, very peaceful and quiet with lots of wildlife around! The property was clean and tidy upon arrival and the facilities were ideal for what we required. The hot tub was perfect - clean and well maintained. We used it everyday and had no trouble with it at all, I believe the maintenance person did come to check the hot tub halfway through our stay. We did not eat at the on-site restaurant but we did have a drink there one afternoon - it’s modern and has a cozy pub feel inside with very affordable drinks prices. I would recommend buying any food shopping before arriving at the property as a large supermarket is about 40 minutes drive away. There are picturesque seaside towns about 30 minutes from the property which are lovely to explore for a couple of hours - our stay was in December so understandably they were very quiet and not everything was open. The only issue we had with our stay is the master bedroom bed was incredibly uncomfortable - you could feel the mattress springs digging in when lying down and gave both of us painful backs. On our last day when stripping the bed before leaving, we saw that the mattress was actually upside down which would explain why it was so uncomfortable, although I’m not sure why it was placed like this! It is a shame about the master bed as every other part of our stay was absolutely brilliant! Despite the uncomfortable bed we will definitely be returning to 7 Waters Edge for another relaxing break in the near future!

- Main Bedroom blind does not open/close (had to be kept permanently down for privacy which meant no morning view is the lake - needs replacing)

"The situation of this lodge is perfect right on the edge of the lake."
The lodge is extremely comfortable although the sofa is a bit low.
The reason for the slightly low mark for facilities is..When.we reported that the blind in the main bedroom was broken. We were told by the disinterested lady on reception that that they were aware there was an issue with the blind and did we want ‘someone to look at it’. We had previously reported on arrival that the washing machine had towels inside and the door on the washing machine would not open.
When we return to the lodge later that day the door had been fixed but the wet towels were still in the machine and the blind still broken!
So the lodge is perfect but it is being let down but very poor facilities management and customer relations.

The blind in the main bedroom is broken and has been tied back up. On arrival the parasol was broken and on a chair, so I assume it had been noticed. There were 4 mugs and 4 glasses which is ridiculous for a property which costs this much! There should be at least 8 of each if not more, so this meant constant washing up. Raised nails on the decking - so don't go on the decking bare foot. No oven glove in the property - plenty of towels and bedding was lovely. Position of lodge is amazing - personal opinion is that this lodge was in a much better condition when Blue Chip Holidays were letting it. Not so many broken items and seemed as though it was being taken care of.
