Camellia, Woodland Retreat

We had a wonderful time, the lodge was clean and comfortable, the couch doesn't feel as luxurious as the rest of the furniture but was OK. Facilities at the venue were great.

Great accommodation, lots of space and very quiet location. Beds very comfortable and lovely fluffy towels. Made good use of gym and pool, good range of equipment in the gym and not too busy. Actual hotel part was dated and the restaurant didn’t look very atmospheric so we didn’t try the food. We did book a taxi one evening into Wadebridge which cost £22 return. Would recommend if you’re looking for space, comfort and leisure amenities on site.

Lovely lodge but in just a poor location, it was at least a 15 minute drive to a main road.

We had a lovely 2 week stay at camellia the cottage was clean and well equipped for all our needs. It was comfy and cosy too. We loved the huge master bedroom. With whirlpoolbath and sauna, plus the extra bathrooms are a must with 6 people staying in the accommodation. However, there were some small areas that need attention. The kitchen worktop has swelled and damaged. The outside table had been badly damaged by fire which wasn't appealing to sit at for a meal. And the decking on the balcony and outside may need a jet wash due to the alge/verdigris. The grounds of Hustyns was clearly neglected, lots of overgrown borders and grass areas that had not been cut. The crazy golf area was overgrown with weeds and the area by the tennis courts was also neglected, the main building looked tired and in need of some attention too. Understandably due to covid the estate may have been closed for some time and they were short staffed. The pool was lovely and the kids had lots of fun here, which was very clean and well maintained including the changing areas. We ate at the Hustyns restaurant on several occasions and the food was lovely and the staff very attentive. Just before the end of our stay the gardeners were in attendance and we saw a remarkable transformation of the grounds. With some love and attention the green areas looked 100% better than when we arrived.

Fantastic cottage retreat, quality amenities, clean and tidy with luxury feel due to jacuzzi and sauna to master suite. Camellia Lodge is privately owned so main hotel can't assist too much of you have any issues but we didn't, coincidentally the owner paid a visit to check dishwasher working as raised by a previous guest (it was fine). Nice to meet the owner who was very keen to check we were comfortable and happy. Peaceful setting, space to walk and ride bikes, hotel facilities great with pool, games room, mini golf and play area. There are only windy single track country roads on the approach which might not suit all drivers but we took it as part of the excitement of the journey there and certainly well with the journey when you arrive to the calm high spec setting. We'll come again!

A fantastic cottage and well looked after. Lovely and clean. Bedding, Towels, tea towel and even a dish cloth included. Very spacious. 3 bathrooms which was fab. Tv in each bedroom although couldn't get one to work. The sauna in the upstairs bathroom was brilliant. Sunloungers in the garden and a veranda of upstairs bedroom with table and chairs. Washing machine and dish washer. Everything you would need. Had a lovely stay and would definitely come back. It is down a country lane which are very narrow but so are a lot in Cornwall. About 2 mile into Wadebridge where there are shops and Coop. Just as you go out there a Tesco, Aldi and B&M. Would recommend.

This was a beautiful lodge, perfect for our needs. There were 6 of us, 3 couples, and all had own room and bathroom. ( would benefit from fitted shower in downstairs bathroom though). The lodge was clean and well equipped ( except not quite enough crockery and cutlery to make use of the dishwasher!). We were able to make use of the sauna, and the pool facility at Hustyns. One thing to point out is that there is no phone signal in the lodge. There is WiFi though. But we loved the place and location despite country lanes! We would definitely return.

Lovely cottage. Arrived to cooker and dishwasher being fitted. Leak under the sink followed after the dishwasher was fitted. This was fixed on the Monday after we arrived, but continued to have a small leak during out stay. Tried to report this by phone but could not get through. Towel radiators in downstairs bedrooms were not working. Only instructions were for the new appliances.

Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings but sadly there were many faults including dirty windows, crumbs in bedroom drawer, pots and pans and grill grid and tray dirty. Faulty oven door including loose glass panel slipping out of door, broken dishwasher causing under sink cupboard to flood, towel rails (all 3) not working properly, loose tiling in bathroom, broken toilet seat, filthy toilet brush, broken latch on gate, mattress protector worn away. No instructions provided for anything. Spent several hours trying to complain to get matters resolved and finally they sent someone (who apparently travelled 100 miles) who only managed to replace the toilet seat and toilet brush only. The other matters were not resolved. So much time wasted on our holiday. They should not be allowed to advertise dishwasher when it doesn’t work!! Pretty horrified to be honest. Such a shame as house itself beautiful. Also in adverts it doesn’t mention the tiny but long dangerous bendy road you have to drive down to get there. Nowhere to walk to without doing scary drive.
