Brookside Reviews

Sharon

On arriving at the lodge we were greeted by a large box of rubbish outside the front door, which was removed by us later in the week. The property appeared clean on entering, however there were a few let downs, mainly in the kitchen lots of debris in the cutlery draw, no shelf in the fridge for drinks milk etc, the washer banged repeatedly loud when running. The other little things which need attention are light fitting in the front room, pictures that were leaning against radiators instead of being up on the walls tried to put back but didnt stay up. The bin in the kitchen was filthy underneath the bin bag and stunk not a nice find. The bath had no plug, the shower head in the cubicle had to be held in the hand so both shower cubicle and bath unable to be used! It was soon realised the stench that the property had was linked to the drainage and after the use of water it would stink the whole property out which was horrible and definitely needs attention Im guessing this is the problem reflected in previous reviews. The amount paid for the lodge was far too high as too many problems needed addressing and without being able to use the basic of facilities as advertised is a huge negative. Our concerns were raised shortly after booking and reading further into the reviews and though we were ensured the lodge would be at a high standard when visiting this was not the case. Bringing our concerns to the attention of Sykes had no impact at all. Lets hope these problems will finally be addressed for future bookings.

Ronald

Lodge was well maintained very clean and well equipped beds were clean and Comfy ... Lodge was well maintained very clean and well equipped beds were clean and Comfy hot tub was amazing all in all had a very nice time with no hassle bar staff we very friendly and helpful would recommend to anybody

Debbie

This lodge needs some TLC from the owners. Issues that were mentioned in previous feedbacks had not been addressed. Very wobbly dinning chair, marked and sticky table surface we brought a tablecloth to put on it Dirty patio furniture and bbq had not been cleaned out. Patio parasol ripped and left by hot tub. Utensils in kitchen not very clean, one frying pan had the remnants of someones breakfast in it, we felt we had to clean everything before we used it. The issue of the missing stairgate was not solved, the owner and maintenance kept passing the buck in the end we gave up. Very nasty smell like bad eggs downstairs. Hot tub was nice and site very clean, quiet and very dog friendly but would not recommend this lodge.

The property is lovely but in need of repair. On arrival a cupboard door covering the washing machine was hanging off. This was reported to maintenance and fixed within half hour. The socket in the main bedroom did not work and this had been recorded several times in the comment book the bulb to the light had been removed however when something else was plugged in this did not work either. The main dining table was very sticky and again this was recorded in the feedback book needs to be varnished. Later in the week we tried to cook a meal as we were fed up of eating out. The hobs worked but the oven itself did not. We called maintenance and was asked to send over photos of the knobs, which I did. We received a message back saying which symbol to use but we had already tried this. No other help was provided by maintenance on this. The hot water needs putting on at least 30 minutes before using but is still no good for a bath. The guttering is full of grassweeds. We had a very wet week and the water was coming out over the entrance door instead of going down the guttering.

Debbie

The cottage had everything we needed and very cosy

We have just returned from a lovely week away in the lodge, after booking we were concerned about many of the reviews but I can tell you that all problems that have previously been mentioned have been completely rectified to a high standard. We were lucky enough to enjoy the new carpets, sofas, decking and fully operational hot tub. We went with our 2 teenage boys who were very happy with their comfortable beds so much so that they wanted to bring them home. The boys enjoyed the games room, swimming pool and arcade machines as well as the Xbox and DVDS provided in the lodge. We had a very relaxed week in a home from home and would definitely return again. The site is also fantastic for dogs we took our two Labradors with us and were extremely pleased with not only how dog friendly the surrounding area is but also how great the holiday park is set up with everything to make the stay as easy as possible when taking your dog away from home. If we could rate higher than a 1010 we would.

Lovely property with lots of little touches like soap, sweets, cleaning items etc. The hot tub was the reason we chose this property and I was really happy that it had clearly been emptied, cleaned and refilled. This gave me comfort the rest of the property had been cleaned well too. We will definitely be rebooking here

The property was in a beautiful location, all I would say is that one side off the hot tub the jets wasnt working, too many cobwebs and the hot water in the main bathroom. It was far too hot when you put a little cold on it went freezing. Apart from that I will be returning.

Victoria

This was our second stay in this lodge, and again it was very enjoyable. However, we couldn't get the WiFi to work and the TV signal was very poor. We reported the WiFi to the maintenance person but nothing got sorted out. Thank goodness for the dvd player and wide range of movies. This time we took our little bulldog and he absolutely loved the walks around the site. The hot tub was lovely on the cool evenings. The welcome gifts were a lovely gesture too. We will go to this lodge again as it is very comfortable and homely and has everything you could need.

Robert

We were disappointed that after complaining about having no hot water for 2 days nothing was done about it We did not have any acknowledgement of our request for someone to sort it out Also the microwave was rusty inside so should be renewed.

There is a strong smell similar to urine which comes from within the downstairs teen room backing on to the hot tub. I suspect there may be a leak which is soaking the carpet and need looking at. It appears this has been mentioned before so it's disappointing to see that it has not been resolved.

Rachael

The location was good, Tavistock is a beautiful town and we had lovely days out at Looe, Plymouth and Port Wrinkle however, we paid 1800 for one week and the place was not clean. The decking had a large patch of damage with loose bits of wood, we had to put a rubber mat over to stop our daughter getting splinters. The settees were really dirty, as was the carpet. The pillows on the beds were very flat and either really cheap, old or both. The washing machine posed as a an integrated appliance, however it was just a cupboard door screwed into the washing machine so made loud banging noises and shook during the cycle, so unable to use overnight. The decking was covered in spider webs which had obviously not been swept for a few months. There was mould in the shower cubicle too. I did take photos should you wish to see them. We wouldnt return here sadly. The pool on site was nice though, you had to book and this was limited and in advance so had to holiday around the swimming sessions.

Denise

Lovely lodge with WiFi, hot tub and Netflix. Very clean and tidy. Sofa could do with upgrading but it's super comfy. We will definitely return.

Lovely property. On the grounds of a holiday park which is lovely place too.

Lovely place, plenty of kitchen utensils, nice clean hot tub. in a central area for visiting different places.

Denise

Excellent holiday property, very clean, comfortable, warm, massive tv with netfix great, fabulous balcony to sit out on, both bathrooms had showers great for me because I cannot use a bath plenty of parking space. Brilliant, lovely comfortable bedrooms all with dressing tables added luxury and massive plus dog friendly.

No real problems but the sofas could do with a deap clean would use again

This is a great lodge in a fabulous location with all the facilities of home. Only Slight disappointment was that the hot tub, which was one of the key dressing we chose that particular lodge, didnt have many of its jets working and so was a little under powered bubbles wise.

Cassandra

Great place, very spacious, all amenities there. Manor was great very friendly people great facilities on site. Definitely recommend it with kids . We loved it .

Adrian

Our 3 nights at Brookside were relaxing and met all our expectations homely, clean, tidy and no apparent doggy smells. We were three adults with three chihuahuas the dogs loved the local walks and only barked once when the squirrels appeared on the balcony. Hot tub was a blessing, cared for and well maintained. Well done to the owner, the cleaning staff and pool maintenance. Nice touch was the welcome pack ..... Ade ,Jayne & Janet

Really comfortable and the best equipped accomodation I have ever stayed in. We were all very happy with the standard. Location was good too

This was an amazing lodge, felt like being in a 5 star hotel, would definitely stay again!

Had a great time , the weather was great . Loved the facilities, the pools and our own hot tub were really good . The accommodation was what I expected and very comfortable, but it did lack a few basics in the kitchen. There was only one cereal bowl and only wine or pint glasses , nothing smaller to take to bed . There were no glasses in the bathrooms so I cleaned my teeth in a pint glass ! These are small trivial things , but small can be important. You get what you pay for , if you want 5 star go else where . Over all Id give it 8 out of 10 . Staff were lovely, couldnt do enough for you .

This site and the lodge should be classed as dog tolerant as neither were really dog friendly.

Having stayed in the same cottage I was pleased to find the internet connection vastly improved this year. There were a few small things which I think could be improved upon. A dishwasher is great but not when it constantly fails to release the soap tablet. On several occasions, the fridge door sprung open after closing and the toilet flush handle in the shower room was loose making it difficult to flush and eventually becoming unusable. There was no contact number for a housekeeper to be able to report this. Whilst I agree that the lodge should be left in a clean and tidy state, it is difficult to do so with a cylinder vacuum when the extending handle collapses the instant it makes contact with the floor. I wouldn't struggle with a vac in this state in my own home I'm certainly not prepared to do so on my holiday. Finally, we stayed for 2 weeks yet were provided with only one tea towel, one cleaning cloth and no change of bed linens for our second week. I'm aware this all sounds very negative but I believe it is the small things like this that can make or break a holiday. Having made these points I would also like to say that the lodge itself, it's situation and the site are idyllic. Our two weeks break passed all too quickly.

On site facities, swimming pool, gym, evening entertainmenr fantastic. Lodge comfotable with everything you could need, including an unexpected welcome pack.

Catherine

Wonderful stay, great facilities. Lovely location, great to have 2 bathrooms with a group of you staying. The kitchen was well equipped. A few cobwebs on lampshades so a bit more overhead dusting needed and I would recommend looking a map of the holiday park as it Is not very easy to find your way around the park to the lodge in the dark.

Lovely base to go and explore, you have to travel out a little bit to get places but the countryside around the area is stunning. Accommodation had all you needed for the stay and the hot tub is a fab addition, even in the cold weather!

Richard

We had a lovely stay at Brookside, a very much appreciated welcome box was left for us and the cottage was lovely and warm on arrival. There was everything we needed at the cottage and it we would definitely recommend. The swimming pool at the site was more for younger children but there is so much to so in the area it did not really matter but thought I would mention if for those with children 11.

Great lodge in lovely surroundings. Comfortable with excellent facilities. Hot tub is a welcome addition. Be warned photograph gives the illusion of privacy. These lodges are on clusters of at least 3 and balconies overlook others. Also park situated on steep hillside so would not recommend for limited mobility. Good shared facilities on site included shop well stocked with basics and restaurant with takeaway service. Ideal central location for visiting Plymouth and Bodmin areas. Would definitely consider a repeat visit.
