The benefits to me of owning a lodge a Stonerush Lakes is a little difficult to put down into words, because for me, it is emotional. When I bought, I wasn’t initially attracted by the rental possibilities, this was somewhere that I wanted to spend time with friends and family, in order to recharge and kick back. Like many people, I live a busy life – but Cornwall has always been a place I have gravitated to when I needed some time out. Feels somehow ‘overseas’ yet at home, and now I am delighted to own a slice of my own happy place. What I love about Stonerush Lakes is that it feels more like a retreat, and definitely not a standard lodge site; it is as far away from ‘bucket and spade’ as it could be. It is left natural, but very tidy – and it is really green and relaxing… yet only 20 mins drive from the coast and a great location from where to discover much of Cornwall. I had wanted to buy for a long time, but I didn’t want to be one of those people from out of county that owned a second home for holiday letting, when it could be used for a local who really needed a place to live. So I am satisfied that my lodge is my sanctuary and a great investment, yet does no harm to anyone… win-win. Oh, two last points to make – everyone I have met is lovely, and stargazing from the terrace on a clear night is sublime!

Horizon view is a stunning place to stay the views are amazing!
The lodge was like a home from home so welcoming and the use of the hot tub throughout our holiday was such a bonus!

Faraway Fields is a beautiful place for a break away.
The lodge was spotless and luxurious, the bed was comfy, the cinema room was fantastic and the facilities were excellent and clean. Everything was provided for you, We didn't want to leave.

We have stayed here quite a few times now and it is quite simply the most perfect holiday we could ask for. It has everything close by and the lodges are superb. The staff on site are amazing and friendly and make you feel so welcome. Booking through bluechip was a delight. We stayed here for our honeymoon and on arrival were given a bottle of wine. I could not recommend this enough.

Had a beautiful stay at Stonerush Lakes, lodge was beautiful and really clean, had all kitchen equipment you would need and plenty of towels etc... Location was perfect, so peaceful and felt you could truly relax as soon as you got there. Can't wait to book next trip.

This was our first trip to Cornwall and after lots of searching we were very pleased to find this gem. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings, a lovely property and very friendly and helpful staff. This was perfect and in an excellent location for Cornwall's attractions. Highly recommend and we hope to visit again.

We stayed at 10 Southern Halt for a long weekend in September!! I instantly fell in love as soon as I walked through the door. Firstly the gate and property entry was brilliant as we didn't arrive until late on the Friday evening it was very convenient for us. The complimentary pack was a lovely touch and there was a coffee machine (major bonus). The lodge was very comfortable and extremely clean!!! Me and my partner didn't venture out far as we felt like we never needed too.

The hot tub was fab with amazing views. Looking to book for a short break over Christmas this year. Would 100% recommend! Can honestly say one of the best places I've ever stayed in England. It feels like home from home.

“It’s a real testament to how well the lodge performs that the weather had absolutely no impact on our
enjoyment of the experience at all, given the facilities of the spa and cinema room, there’s more than enough to keep you entertained. But then, combine that with the rest of the lodge, which is beautifully presented – the bedroom, kitchen area and sitting room are all wonderfully appointed. It’s also surprisingly child-friendly too. Our two-year-old seeks disaster at every opportunity, yet it felt very safe. It’s a bit like being in a large luxurious hotel suite, but one that benefits from the privacy and seclusion of the setting as well as your own private facilities.
I can’t imagine being able to find similar experiences elsewhere
It’s no exaggeration to say that the iSpaTM could be a blueprint for the future of lodges – I think they’ve got it absolutely right!”

“We cannot praise the Charteroak team enough, it was very straightforward. Sam Weller, who guided us through the process, is very charming and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Even after purchasing the lodge, Sam has remained in contact to ensure everything is functioning properly and that we are satisfied and happy. He has since been a great help with advice and assistance when family visited. The same applies to the support staff. Anita at housekeeping and Annie and Sally in reception are very friendly and extremely helpful, always going that extra mile to assist you. It is comforting to know that there is always someone on hand to help if needed. Most importantly we would say: don’t hesitate – we wish we had bought a lodge years ago!”

"Having visited Stonerush as guests on two occasions, by the end of our second stay the idea of becoming owners was becoming very appealing.
The quality of the lodge, the idyllic surroundings, and the excellent staff all contribute to making every stay a pleasure. The staff have that knack of being accessible, responsive and helpful, without intruding on the privacy and seclusion that makes Stonerush such a beautiful place.
For us the potential investment return is attractive, but we, and our extended family, love the place so much, that at the moment we're simply enjoying it as a place we can visit whenever we want.
I would specifically like to testify to the contribution of Gillian in helping us becoming owners at Stonerush. She was excellent in guiding us around on our visit to the Lodges available, and has always been responsive, diligent and cooperative in addressing all of those "newbie owner" queries that have arisen. Nothing has been too much trouble - it represents customer service at its finest.
Our only regret regarding lodge ownership at Stonerush is that we should have done it earlier!"

"We looked at several holiday homes over a two year period and as soon as we arrived at Stonerush we knew this was the one. The space, the lakes and the lovely luxury lodges in a beautiful setting sold it to us immediately.
We love the area, especially Polperro and Fowey, and are enjoying getting to know all the lovely beaches, restaurants and pubs that seem to be in abundance. We also have peace of mind knowing that the lodge will be looked after in our absence. We think this is one of the best investments we have made and hate leaving the place at the end of each visit!"

We weren't actually looking for a lodge, we were looking for just a property in Looe. Then we came across Charteroak, looked on the website, liked what we saw and decided we would make an appointment to view. When we walked through the door of the lodge we just looked at each other and thought - Wow - this has got to be for us!
The minute I walk through the front door I just chill- something very special that you wouldn't find in many places. It's peaceful, safe, it's secure and we just love it"

"My family has always enjoyed the area around Polperro and Fowey and we were looking for a local place to call our own. We looked at a variety of properties, but fell in love with Stonerush Lakes from the moment we drove on the site.
It has that initial "wow" factor, with meticulously designed and kept grounds that complement the natural surroundings. We never thought we could own somewhere in such a beautiful position in a valley surrounded by unspoilt countryside. We selected a lot that gave us the feeling of being high up in the trees with the lovely sounds of a stream meandering by below. Now, with every visit, we discover something new! The local footpaths that adjoin the site are fantastic, giving us a chance to venture out and explore. Wrap all this into a location just 6 miles from the lovely Cornish coast, and we have found our place."
