Tressa, St Breward

Absolutely beautiful to place to stay to escape it all. The surrounding quarry and lakes are just stunning even in the rain the accommodation was well equipped, warm and comfortable. Slight issue on night 1 which was sorted and compensated for immediately, absolutely brilliant hosts! And freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam on arrival! What more could you want. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place idealic location totally relaxing. Hot tub lovely especially when looking at all the stars at night.

The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and the location was incredible, lovely and peaceful. Scones on arrival was a lovely touch. The only thing I would mention is that the beds are quite squeaky when rolling over to get comfortable and they arent the most comfortable mattresses, obviously that is all on preference so other than that we all had a lovely stay.

A wonderful setting and a really comfy warm cottage, it had everything we needed and more, bed was super comfy and the hot tub was an added bonus. We had some beautiful sunsets and the colours of the sun setting on the rocks by the lake was stunning. We also had some wonderful clear nights and we have never seen so many stars it was beautiful and so calming to just to sit and star gaze. What a special place this is and we will be returning, we have three dogs and the endless walks around the quarry kept them entertained and exercised and also so handy for lots of days out. A lovely generous welcome pack of milk and home made scones with jam and cream was really appreciated when we arrived thank you for a wonderful relaxing break.

A great place to getaway from it all. Perfect for people who want to get away from the city, as you are set in an old Quarry. You watch rabbits and if you are lucky a Deer from your Window or the Hot tub. We liked sitting in the tub when it was dark as there is total darkness. The local Inn is a good 20 minute walk through the Woods or 30 if you go around, the food is great large portions The house is clean and tidy the owner was very friendly. One thing you should be aware of is the road to the house is not to good if you have a sports car with a lowered suspension. If you want to do a lot of sightseeing then take into account that you are 15 minutes away from the Main roads, but you can to the north and south without a problem.

Having booked with Sykes many times, I have a high expectation for the standard of accommodation, specifically cleanliness. The oven was filthy & pots and pans put away dirty. The kitchen drawers & cupboards were messy and unkempt, therefore giving a poor impression of the standard of accommodation. At 1000 week for a 2 bedroom lodge, this is not good value.

The lodge is excellent with everything you could need. The site is great, quiet and peaceful. It has two lakes onsite. The lower one is decked out with a communal area to sit out. The top one also has a decked area. The disappointing bit is that it was extremely difficult to access as it's overgrown and it does have two ladders if you want to swim, but also they are overgrown, the first one you can't even see it You just need to trim and tidy your bush Overall it is a 5 star place if the top lake was accessable

Excellent, had a lovely time here. It was like a home from home. Cream tea on arrival, spacious lodge. Hot tub was hot! Our dog loved the rabbits and the freedom. Our google sat nav took us straight to the property. The final road up to Tresss is bumpy, its a quarry road after all. Minor issues .. no scissors or potato peeler, more bin liners would have been helpful, could the trees beyond the green be reduced in height to allow an even better view?

We absolutely love it at Tor Down Quarry. We have stayed several times and always enjoy the tranquility of the site, the space we have around our cabin, the lakes are stunning and there is plenty of wildlife to observe. Kirsty and John are terrific hosts, nothing is too much trouble and they are always looking at ways to make guests' stays even better. I have recommended Tor Down to friends who have gone on to visit and also love the place.

The property was superb and the level of cleanliness was pristine. We had the opportunity to meet Kirsty and found her to be an amazing host. The location was stunning and we cannot wait to come back.

These lodges are perfect if you are looking for a quiet getaway after the stresses of day to day life. There's only 4 on the site, which is idylic non of this over crowding of lodges and people. Our lodge Tressa, was ideal for us, it had a master bedroom with ensuite shower room. There was also a second bedroom with a double bed I found the matress quite firm and not that comfortable, but I think that is down to individual preference. And also a large bathroom.There was only the 2 of us and our dog, so it was more than big enough. I have issues with spiders particularly in bedrooms, so I always check under the beds, there was a couple of cobwebs but luckily there is a hoover in the lodge so not a massive issue. Besides the lodges are surrounded with greenery so you got to expect the odd spider. The lodge is equipped with everything you need. The radiators soon heat the bathrooms up to take the chill off at night. If you take a dog be sure to pack a dog bed. Dogs aren't allowed on sofa or beds unless you have a clean blanket to cover them first. There was some poop bags and also doggy treats left for us. Also as part of the welcome, there were scones which were divine clotted cream and jam, and also some milk. As mentioned before, there is a hoover, i also would have liked some form of mop. The hot tub was fantasic, and unlike many places we have previously stayed, we were able to adjust the temperature to our preference. Being in the tub under the night sky felt magical as you are in complete darkness if you choose not to have lodge lights on. The hot tub is very private. Now onto the view....wow. it is stunning. Each lodge has its own seating area. Ours was out front and it was everything and more to sit there in a morning, just listening to the birds and nothing else. There are 2 lakes that you can swim in or fish at, we did nether, although the dog did. You do have to watch the dogs as there are cliffs around, luckily our dog is scared of his own shadow, so doesn't tend to stray far. Lodge 4 is perfect if you want an enclosed area for the dogs. The owner Kirsty sounds lovely, as I needed to message her and she replied promptly, assisting me. The roads are quite narrow and windy, no problem if you are a confident driver. Although the quarry feels in the middle of no where, you are only a 30 min drive from some beautiful coastline and villiagestowns. St nectans glen waterfall is fabulous. This has been our favourite lodge yet and we will definitely be back.

A delightful lodge in an idyllic setting. Beautifully appointed with very comfortable beds. Great to have the two bathrooms and the hot tub. We loved watching the rabbits and birds in the evening. All very relaxing. Access is up a short section of steep track. There are great local pubs and a community shop in the village. It is also very close to the start of the Camel Trail. Kirsty is very helpful and we too enjoyed the cream teas provided. We would definitely love to return here.

Lovely lodge in an excellent location to explore. Very well equipped so eating in was a pleasure. Though lots of lovely pubs also to try !

Another great holiday at tor down quarry. The lodge was so clean and comfortable with everything you need and more . Beds are nice and comfortable and clean . Thank you for the cream tea it was delicious. Thank you Kirsty and John for another fabulous holiday see you in March

This was our second holiday at Tordown Quarry we stayed in Tressa both times ! Such a lovely peaceful relaxing place we love the accommodation clean fresh and very welcoming Kirsty and John are great hosts they left us a lovely welcoming Cornish cream tea ! Our dogs were also welcomed with treats ! The grounds with the lakes are lovely and well maintained! And to top it all off a lovely relaxing hot tub! Will definitely go back again would highly recommend!

Very peaceful and quiet place to stay. Evenings spend in hot tub with amazing views. Lodge equipped with everything that's needed. Dogs enjoyed freedom of space. Very nice family fishing place.

Lovely, clean and spacious lodge. Hot tub was amazing, would definitely stay here again.

Had a great week staying in Tressa. The accommodation is exactly as described, very comfortable and it has everything you need. The cream tea and milk for a cuppa was a welcomed bonus on our arrival, thank you Kirsty and family! Tor Down Quarry is a stunning place to stay and I hope to visit again with my family in the future.

Tressa was a very clean and wellappointed property. It was a nice touch to have a cream tea on arrival and a bonus to have a newly installed hot tub within a few feet of the property. We had a lovely time during our stay and it is a very welcoming and relaxing place to be, even when the weather isn't great. Our two dogs loved swimming with us in the two fresh water quarries. We do not usually return back to a property but this one will be an exception. We look forward to returning, well done Kirsty and John A1

Beautiful, well equipped lodge in a fantastic location. A perfect place to relax and watch the wild life. I would recommend taking binoculars. Kirsty is friendly, helpful and informative. The perfect host. Nearby Wadebridge is definitely worth a visit as is Polzeath beach, a great spot for a bit of sunbathing or bodyboarding and then the hot tub!! Perfect after a day exploring or swimming in the quarry pools. We will definitely plan another stay.

Wonderful stay at Tor Down. Kirsty and John are marvellous hosts. Would highly recommend.

We had a fabulous stay here. Kirsty made us so very welcome. The girls swam every day in the lakes. It was a great place to get away from it all with lovely views.

From the moment we walked in and heard the radio playing we felt at home in Tressa, it had everything we needed even a coffee machine I'm always hopeful and pack some capsules. It was so homely and comfortable and very nicely decorated and lovely quality blinds and curtains showing the care and attention which has been put into to it. Small touches like the hooks on the back of the door and the hooks for keys and the treats for us scones, jam and cream and lovley cornish milk and the dog vension stick which she loved on arrival made us feel so welcome and we honestly didn't want to leave. Being an open water swimming family we swam in both lakes and they were amazing, my husband caught some brown trout in the lower lake and we loved the view from the hot tub over the water. It's perfectly located for trips to the beach and we even cycled the Camel Trail all the way to Padstow. We are already looking to book again

We absolutely loved our stay at Tressa! When we arrived we immediately discovered how peaceful it was. When we entered the lodge it was modern, clean and cosy, the pictures online don't do it justice. The radio playing and the cream tea was a nice touch and very welcoming. The hot tub was gorgeous, it is set in an old Smithy, I went in it just as the stars were coming out, it was bliss! The beds and sofas were very comfortable, the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. Thank you Kirsty and family for an amzing stay, we can't wait to come back!

Gorgeous lodge in a breathtaking setting, definitely has the wow factor. Lodge is a home from home, really comfortable and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The lakes are unreal, you have to see them to believe they are there actually for you to swim in! There are only 3 lodges plus the owners lodge in the whole quarry and each has plenty of space around it so there is a quiet, private feeling. The position of the hot tub looking out over the lake was perfect and we watched a bird of prey circling overhead while we sat in the bubbles. Kirsty the owner had provided us with a home made cream tea on arrival which was delicious and enough for several helpings! I cant recommend this place enough, if you want somewhere a bit different, in a unique setting with all the comforts you would expect in a luxury lodge, then Tor Down Quarry is the place for you.

Very clean, well equipped, great location. Best accommodation we have had.

The holiday was amazing the Quarry is stunning and so well looked after Kirsty couldnt do enough for us and was so welcoming if anything the listing and the photos dont do this place justice wild swimming at the quarry was really the highlight for us but my husband and son also went fishing and kayaking. There was also a fabulous pub in St Breward with amazing food and the village green has its own grazing horse Zelda. It was the best place for some R and R, to unplug and enjoy nature. Would definitely recommend.

We loved the property nice and clean nice decor had a good atmosphere when we walked in gentle music was playing. It was well equipped especially with kitchen utensils etc overall was perfect for us even supplied dog bowls and treats. The owners were lovely very friendly ! The surroundings are beautiful such a very peaceful setting, hot tub wonderful and clean The quarry great for a swim I enjoyed a swim there so one from my bucket list! Our dogs enjoyed the freedom and the swimming . Overall a perfect week away hope to return again!!

Its nice please for rest and relax! Very quiet and peaceful we stayed there just for two night but that was enough to top up our battery

It was our first visit to Cornwall, despite the weather wasn't welcoming we have had a good time. The cabin was really nice. We will be coming back for sure.

Amazing!!! owners are so welcoming and lovely!

The place was spotless when we first walked in and the owner was so welcoming when she came to introduce herself. Its an amazing place for a getaway.

Very nice lodge, second time we visited. Nice and quiet. Great place for kids to swim in the quarry.

We had the most spectacular time at Tressa. It was everything and more that we hoped for. We swam at least once a day and explored the Camel Trail. Kirsty was wonderful and despite being away herself was always at the end of an email. We cannot wait to go back and are hoping to return of the winter season.

We did not expect to have to run 50yards to access the hot tub. More privacy in the use of the hot tub would have been appreciated. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable

This was our second time in 3 mths cottage was very well equipped and very tastefully decorated the host Kirsty and her husband we great they were not intrusive but responded to any questions promptly . The hot tub was a lovely way to relax in the evening our dogs were welcomed dog dishes treats and poo bags all there for our use. We would highly recommend these holiday homes and will be returning in the near future bringing family with us to hopefully stay in one of the other homes Angie & Graham Mason

Hosts were absolutely fantastic! The cabin was lovely, and clean! The stay was absolutely fab! Only downfall is if you have a little car, the roads coming in aint to to good. And the walk from the hot tub at night in the cold its not a far walk its a minute max, but as you been relaxing in the hot tub. Its freezing. But apart from them, we had the best stay. It had everything you absolutely need in the cabin also! Beds were soooo comfy, the showers power was absolutely amazing. All around 1010
