“This lodge is just as described online.”

It has fabulous views over the fields to the sea, which can be viewed from the living area. The kitchen is well equipped and clean. The bathroom has an efficient shower but not much room to put anything down. For two of us it was perfectly spacious, but could be cramped for four, when the dryer has to go in the sitting room . I would recommend this for a family group staying in two or more lodges as it easy for children to visit grandparents staying next door. For an economical family holiday ...

It has fabulous views over the fields to the sea, which can be viewed from the living area. The kitchen is well equipped and clean.

I would recommend this for a family group staying in two or more lodges as it easy for children to visit grandparents staying next door. For an economical family holiday in October it was good value.

“The most beautiful setting and really convenient for a walk in to Port Isaac.”

Not far from Tintagel and some other nice coves around to visit. The lodge is looking a bit tired in places but it was clean comfortable and lovely to sit and watch sunsets in the evening. It really made our holiday. Would definitely recommend.

“The location of the farm and the views from the lodge were absolutely world class, a sea view from your sofa!”

The farm was spacious and relaxing. My only negative comments would be about the maintenance of the property. It wasn't really a massive thing for us as we stayed 2 nights, but a week may have been different. The shower enclosure was had mould and the shower head sprayed out in all directions. We cooked breakfast one morning and the pans were very worn, and definitely not non stick anymore. Check out time of 9.30am is a bit harsh too, especially as you're asked to strip your own beds and dispose of your own rubbish. Like I said, the views and the location were fantastic, and the property was definitely clean and OK for a couple of nights, but in the words of my 12 year old daughter, could do with a glow up

“Dolphin Lodge was ideal for us to walk both legs of the Coastal path from Port Isaac.”

It’s spacious clean and warm but the best feature is the stunning view over the sea from the big window . Thank you

Andrew March 2023

“Lovely lodge, awesome views out to sea, great walks from the door.”

The nice open setting with easy access to the village was was really good. The lodge itself was comfortable, and had everything we needed. However, it wasn't as clean as we would have expected on arrival, and we had to spend some time cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom, while not ideal, it didn't spoil our stay. Everything is is a little tired, although it doesn't really matter, it all works, but wear and tear is taking it's toll. The only other point would be rubbish and recycling. It would be good to have recycling facilities on site. The information suggested we could use the facilities at the village car park, but there weren't any (maybe it's seasonal?). But overall, despite our comments, a lovely place, and great value for money.

- Andrew, March 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. It's great to hear that you had such a great stay at Dolphin Lodge and had the perfect base to explore the local area from and could soak in the views! Our apologies for the cleanliness. This has been reported back to our housekeeping team. Unfortunately Trewetha Farm does not have recycling facilities but there are centres throughout the local area that can be used if so desired. We would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Isobel October 2022

“The lodge has wonderful views and inside is clean and warm except for the bathroom which is in need of some tlc toilet flush was broken my husband fixed it shower had a lot of mould and mildew on the grouting and generally the bathroom felt uncared for.”

On a positive note the bedding was very clean and comfortable.

- Isobel, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you had the chance to make the most of the local amenities! We appreciate you bringing the issues of the toilet flush and the shower to our attention. This will be investigated by our maintenance team, promptly. We hope to invite you back to North Cornwall very soon. Property Owner

Rob June 2022

“Lovely accommodation in a both rural and costal location.”

Very peaceful and quiet. The view from property was stunning. Open the main curtains and the view to the sea could be had from all rooms including lying in bed!. Take time to take the short walk to the end of the field to take in the views overlooking the bay. The owners were descreet but always available.

Trewetha Farm

Idyllically positioned on the grounds of the owners home on the outskirts of the quaint fishing village of Port Isaac rests this superb collection of holiday homes, Trewetha Farm. Comprising two stone-built barn conversions alongside six timber lodges, all laying adjacent to a small holding peppered with farm animals and framing unspoilt views over Port Isaac Bay and the surrounding countryside, Trewetha Farm offers the perfect base for a coastal retreat. Set across one level, each featuring a sociable open-plan layout, the six lodges are well-presented and comfortably furnished with both friends and families in mind. The two barn conversions host a quirky reverse-level layout to make the very most of the views from the open-plan living space, sure to be the social hub of the home. For special occasions, this fabulous collection of holiday homes share access to a 1-acre field, providing the perfect setting to enjoy the last of the evening sun, and for a more intimate escape, each property has access to their very own private patio with a neat picnic table. There's plenty to see and do from your doorstep, with two footpaths leading directly from the farm to the Heritage coast path, where the glorious sands of Polzeath, Daymer Bay and Rock can be explored; perfect for spending lazy days lounging amongst the sand. Be sure to pack your clubs and test your swing with a round of golf at the remarkable links course at St Enodoc Golf Club, or try your hand at coasteering or sea kayaking with expert tuition available on the waters of Port Isaac Bay. Television buffs will be delighted with a stroll through the streets of the picture-perfect village of Port Isaac, famed as the backdrop for the popular ITV television series Doc Martin. Get better acquainted with your surroundings and catch the ferry from Rock to Padstow where you can hire a bike and embark on an adventure along the renowned Camel Trail, toward the market town of Wadebridge, framing some of the most spectacular views in the county en route. The picturesque villages of Tintagel and Boscastle are both within easy touring distance and are well worth a visit. Whether you're looking for adventure or escape, Trewetha Farm offers the perfect base.
