Accurately Described?
|
Yes
|
Very light and spacious - it was very rainy when we stayed but we didn’t feel cooped up with three children. Great facilities, very clean and a real home from home.

|
|
|
Exceed Expectations?
|
Yes
|
A washing machine and tumble dryer are great when you have children with you on holiday.
The kitchen was very well equipped, parking right outside each lodge and lovely views of the surrounding countryside (when the rain left off!)

Tudor Lodges is on the top of a hill 3 miles from Looe so you really need a car if youre staying there. It’s a steep hill into Looe so not really a good walk unless you’re ultra fit! There is a country pub just outside the Lodges which welcomes children etc. but that’s about if for very local food, you need to get in the car for anything else.
Looe has a great range of shops, restaurants and tourist attractions.
The accommodation is just lovely, spacious lounge, diner - kitchen and we had three large double bedrooms all of which could have accommodated a wheelchair user if required. There are balconies through level french doors from 2 bedrooms, the kitchen and lounge with a ramp upto the front door.
Would stay there again - but would hope for some sun!!

Be Aware:

Polperro - unless youre old and infirm just walk to the beach - the £3.00 pony and trap ride is just for about 200 yards or so and is a bit of a tourist trap! Polperro had a great range of shops but is a very small Cornish fishing village so don’t expect much in the way of well known large shops. We found it much quieter to take the children down to Looe beach after about 5-6pm as it was easy to sit down, the children could run about and make sand castles for a couple of hours and were nicely tired for bed! If its raining and you fancy a quiet morning, Trago Mills shopping emporium about 10 miles away is good - we bought 110 felt pens and some colouring books for about £4.00 which kept the children quiet for hours!

Could Provide:
|
The only thing that could have improved our stay would perhaps be internet access or a freeview box - there were rainy days when 4 TV channels really werent enough! Or perhaps a DVD player. Luckily the Olympics were on or we may have gone slightly mad with all the rain.
