Calypso Reviews

Lianne
Lovely spacious property, ideally located for a Cornish holiday.
William
Well appointed, spotlessly clean and ideal for our multi-generation holiday.
David
The accommodation was lovely and suitable for our family with the layout. The pool table was well played and the PAC man arcade game was loved by a few of us older adults. The cupboard full of board games has a various amount to play with should the weather be dull. We had lovely weather on our stay so this accommodation was a lovely place to unwind when we've returned from our days out.
Glyn
A large property with plenty of space and well equipped. The pool table, arcade machine and selection of board games were a good distraction for the grandchildren. The free on site heated indoor pool was used throughout our stay. We really enjoyed our stay at the Lodge.
Sue
We had a great time at Calypso Lodge. The equipment in the kitchen was super, with plenty of mugs, glasses, plates etc. The beds were comfy and the duvets soft and warm. The onsite pool was great for all the family, but we didn't use any of the other activities/facilities. The lodge was spacious, very clean and worked well for our multi generation family group. Communication about how we wanted rooms arranged was great. Would highly recommend
Philip
We found this cottage to be extremely well equipped and ideally positioned for our short holiday in Cornwall. The decor and furniture clearly indicated that the owners had gone the extra mile to ensure our comfort and the two lounges were icing on the cake for our family of six. There was a very roomy feel about the place . We loved it. The adjoining resort we felt was a little â?? tiredâ?.
Robert
Excellent holiday home on a lovely site
Alison
This lodge is spotlessly clean, extremely spacious and very well equipped. We will definitely be returning.
Nicola
Beautiful holiday home, very clean, location perfect to visit many places, games room an added bonus kept the kids amused (and adults) would definitely recommend and return again
Keef
An excellent week away, the property exceeded expectations. A comfortable and charming base for our family staycation holiday visiting Cornwall. Thank you.
Jay
Calypso is a wonderful property with fantastic amenities. Itâ??s is well laid out, very comfortable, clean and in a great location. Could not fault this property
Matt
The cottage is a great social space, it is overlooked and therefore not particularly private. There is an abundance of board games and a pool table great for entertainment. The beds are comfortable, seating is adequate for a large family. The location is great for a base to go exploring the local area but the site itself lacks in facilities.
Sara
The lodge was very well equipped and had everything we needed. The wine fridge was a bonus as we were staying over Christmas, and the pool table was a real hit with the teenagers. I would recommend this lodge without hesitation.
