"Thanks Sykes and Charter Oaks for a great stay."

The Southern Halt site is beautiful. The lodge was beautifully located, not overlooked at all. Great layout and plenty of room for a family of 5. We enjoyed using the hot tub and the decking area on a daily basis. It was honestly so lovely to enjoy some peace and quiet. Even our 3 children commented on how nice it was to only hear the sounds of nature. We will be coming back again.

What a fantastic review Lorna, thank you so much. I am so happy that you loved your stay at 7 Faraway Fields and enjoyed the peace and tranquillity around your lodge, hopefully you will back to see us again very soon! Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner

Lovely lodge, on an amazing site and location, it’s even nicer in person than on the pictures, and added bonus with the hot tub

"The location is out of the way to begin with."

The lodges are quite small. Particularly the bedrooms and it’s impossible when using a travel cot. The lodge is quite clean, but lacks comfort. I book with Sykes at least once a year, and alway choose the maximum star rating. This definitely didn’t meet the star rating and sadly we wouldn’t return. It was so noticeable because we had spent the previous week at an exceptional property in Carbis Bay which we’d booked with Sykes. One thing I will say that is exceptional and that is the staff in the office, particularly Tracey Karen in guest services.

Thank you for your feedback Deborah, we really appreciate your time. I am so sorry that our lodges were not what you were expecting! It's surprising to hear that you found the lodge small, as most of our guests are pleasantly surprised how spacious our lodges are. The location is only a couple of minutes from the main dual carriageway into Cornwall and is on the outskirts of quite a large village. However, all feedback is important and I hope that were aspects of your stay that you managed to enjoy. Thank you for your kind comments regarding our reception staff at Southern Halt. We do hope this hasn't completed deterred you from returning and that you will visit us again one day. Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner

"We had a wonderful mini break at Faraway Fields."

A quiet and secluded holiday location and the hot tub on the decking was a fab bonus! The accommodation and grounds are beautifully maintained with a super friendly team keeping everything is running perfectly. We will absolutely be back! :)

We look forward to seeing you again soon Rachel! I am absolutely delighted to hear how much you loved your lodge and your peaceful and relaxing stay with us, thank you so much for leaving us your thoughts! Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner

"Beautiful lodge, however there was lots of ants over the kitchen side when we first arrived."

We contacted the reception and they came out straight away and got rent a kill right onto it. The main bedroom mattress was stained and bedding wasn't the best so I had to flip the mattress. We reported this also and they brought us new bedding and was reporting the mattress. All in all a great stay, hot tub checked everyday

Thank you so much for your feedback Leanne and for reiterating the issues you found during your stay. I am so glad that I could eliminate your ant problem fairly quickly and have now passed your comments about the mattress to our Maintenance Manger, who will resolve this issue as soon as possible. I am delighted that despite these problems, you were all able to enjoy your time with us at Southern Halt. Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner

"We have stayed at this site before , last time in 2021 but I think they have changed management since then."

All staff were extremely attentive, we had a phonecall leading up to going away, one on day to say the lodge was ready and they checked in with us during our stay. We had an issue with the washing machine and someone was sent within the hour to sort it. All staff at the restaurant over at Stonerush also really friendly. Lodge was great, clean, cosy and everything you needed cooking wise. The only negative was the glass screens all around the decking were so filthy with you couldn’t see through them. Only a small negative , couldn’t fault the rest!

I am so happy to hear how much you loved staying at 7 Faraway Fields, Anna and that you were so pleased with our customer service. I am so sorry that you found the glass screens around the decking in a less than perfect condition. Unfortunately the screens are cleaned on a rota system and because of the severe weather conditions we have experienced recently, we have fallen a little behind. Please accept our sincere apologies I hope that despite this issue you will come back to stay with us again soon. Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner

We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub which was clean and had a member of staff maintain the hot tub twice during our stay (he was polite & courteous). We would definitely consider coming back.

"Great place for a weeks getaway."

Site is nice and secure whilst being superbly accessible. Unit was well stocked for self catering. We went during heatwave...so place was very very hot due to type of construction...would have loved a fan or two, or air con. Best hot tub we have ever had. Only minor grumbles on the unit e.g. main bathroom didn't lock, toaster only partially worked, heated towel-rail in en suite could not be turned off, bed not long enough for someone over six foot,

Thank you for leaving your feedback we have passed your comments across to be looked in to but are glad you had a great stay overall. Property Owner

Mr Darren CapperAug 2022
"Property was fantastic , hot tub amazing, perfectly situated in order to travel to different towns such as looe, Polperro and St austell."

Lodge looked lovely and clean but the only down side was , with allowing pets although everywhere looked clean, everytime we sat on sofa we were covered in dog hairs, we have no pets ourselves and usually stay where no pets are allowed so this may be the norm in pet friendly lodges but we even hoovered the sofas ourselves and we were still getting covered in dog hair. Also the pans could do with replacing as they were not very good quality which made cooking difficult but that's not a put down on the lodge its just to let the owner know some items are ready for renewing. We had an amazing stay and would definitely return. All staff that we met were lovely and friendly.

Thank you for your review, with pet friendly units normally people with pets specifically request these and even though more care is taken to try ensure all signs of pets are minimum there can be some hairs that are missed. We are glad you did have an amazing stay and would return. Property Owner

"The lodge was very nice and comfortable the only issue we had is that you got an occasional foul smell from the stream outside the lodge."

Overall I would recommend this as a very nice place to stay

Thank you for your great review and recommendation, we have looked in the odour and may have been due to the heat wave. Thank you Property Owner

"Overall we had a great holiday."

The lodge is well equipped and the hot tub is always a great hit. Unfortunately when we arrived there was a large clump of hair in the shower, coffee splashed up the kitchen blind and a lot of dust, I took this as bad luck at the time and cleaned it up but when 3 days later the Wi-Fi still wasn’t working despite being told an engineer was on site on the first day I did send an email.. accidently to the old mill .. I was assured it had been forwarded to customer services .. we heard nothing. I did raise about the Wi-Fi alone to charter oak which was responded with the delay had been to being Easter weekend. We did have a great holiday, but wanted you to be made aware of the issues Many thanks
