“We had the most amazing stay for my birthday!”

We took our 2 children and we had the best mini break. The hot tub was fab, the view was just beautiful, the pod was so stocked up which was a lovely surprise and included a coffee machine with pods, a bottle of Prosecco, milk, cleaning products and lovely shampoo and conditioner among other bits and bobs. We didn’t want to leave. This really is a hidden gem and we can’t wait to return. Thank you for the most wonderful holiday.

“Absolutely wonderful stay, cosy, well equipped with everything you need.”

Bottle of procescco on arrival and milk to get you started. Loved it so much and did not want to leave. My parents have booked already on our recommendation. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will be back

“The perfect getaway for my partners 30th birthday.”

The pod was fully equipped with the essentials. Prosseco on arrival was a lovely touch The owners have really thought of everything. A lovely relaxing break away with a private hottub. Exceeded our expectations. The owner popped down and introduced himself. The pod had a brief power cut (it happens as the weather wasn't the best) I called the owner and the power was back on within 5/10 minutes. Cannot fault our stay at 'stargaze'

“Hot tub area needs to be closed off more from elements.”

- Craig, February 2024

Hi Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. We purposely have the hot tubs out in the open so guests can enjoy the beautiful views of Stithians and the surrounding areas, the local nature and at night see the stars. Thank you Property Owner
Hayley February 2024

“Had an amazing stay, couldn’t say a bad word about anything!”

One small thing is when you enter the drive way for the lodge, that is lit up with solar lights, but when you get to the next lot of gates it’s extremely dark, even with a torch on your phone we ended up going to somebody else’s cabin before we found our own. There were solar lights all around the cabins but none of them worked! Other than that, had a beautiful time!

- Hayley, February 2024

Hi Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. The lights in the car park and path down to the gates are electric. The solar lights leading from the gate to the lodges are not great in the winter due to lack of sun. We do supply torches in the lodges for guests to use. I am conscious of wanting to keep light pollution to a minimum, so will definitely look into other options. Thank you Andrew Property Owner
Ben January 2024

“Absolutely loved the place!”

Couldn’t fault it! It was spotless on arrival, had a warm feeling to the property. Great views of the countryside. It’s a great location for both escaping and exploring Cornwall. Couldn’t fault! Will probably be booking it again in the future and highly recommend to friends and family!

Michele September 2023

“We had stayed in a glamping pod before but Stargaze was undoubtedly the best yet.”

It’s is very well situated for you to explore North and South Cornwall. My husband and I loved every minute from waking up to surrounding countryside views and relaxing in the jet hot tub of an evening to watch the amazing sunsets. We are both relaxed ready to go back to our very fast paced careers. The pod was clean and had everything you wanted from a first aid kit to an iron and ironing board. We had dinner at a lovely country pub the fox and hound which was five minutes drive and offered great food however there is a combi oven and stove top in the pod if you want to do self catering. The bed was really comfortable and we slept well every night. There were towels provided and nothing was trouble for the owners to make your stay trouble free and relaxing. We will definitely book again in the future.

Alanna June 2023

“Had the most amazing time at this pod with my partner and son, it exceeded expectations.”

There was so many lovely little touches such as complimentary prosecco, carton of milk, cereal, bird seed, nothing was too much bother either, I asked if I could have some extra towels which I got a reply straight away and Andrew came down with them, same with firewood, instant replies and drop offs! We drove down to Cornwall and most things we wanted to do was about a 30 min drive, loads of stuff to do near and far, definitely want to go back at some point!

- Alanna, June 2023
Julie June 2023

“The cabin was absolutely amazing.”

The attention to detail and the cleanliness was outstanding. This would all be perfect if there had been available upright chairs for outside. Though the bench table looked lovely it was not comfortable to sit at. A table and chairs would of been better.

- Julie, June 2023
Jordan June 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at Stargaze.”

Location and facilities were perfect. Beaches and Kennall Vale nearby or just staying at the site and taking in the views from the hot tub, we loved our stay. The hosts also went above and beyond, with little extras such as fresh milk and a welcoming bottle of Prosecco. Living nearby they were on hand for any queries we had, being super quick to respond. The perfect getaway, we’ll definitely be back.

- Jordan, June 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave such great feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay in Stargaze. Hopefully see you again soon Andrew & Nicola Property Owner
Leila June 2023

“Stargaze was the most perfect place to spend my birthday.”

The location was amazing and everywhere we wanted to go was within an hours drive. We were thoroughly impressed with the use of a small space, it felt much larger inside than it actually is! The bed was comfy and the hot tub was a perfect way to start and end our days. It was a lovely experience to cook on the fire pit every night and an amazing view to enjoy our food with. We were the only ones there for the first night but even when our neighbours arrived we felt we had ample privacy. The only constructive feedback I can think of is that it would be great to keep a scouring brush under the sink for the fire pit as it was still a little greasy from previous use and the sponge wasn't enough to get it off. We will most definitely be back again, thank you so much for an experience to remember!

- Leila, June 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave such nice feedback We are glad you celebrated your birthday at OLJU Lodges. Good idea about the brush, with the BBQ,s in constant use I will be adding these. thank you. Andrew & Nicola Property Owner
Natasha June 2023

“Absolutely stunning cabin stay for my partners birthday!”

So clean upon arrival and had everything you need. Loved the little interior details that made it feel very homely. The welcome gift of Prosecco was a lovely touch and much appreciated! As the cabin name describes, we could star gaze in the hot tub at night and it was just perfection! Only fault I could find was that this cabin sits between 2 others in close proximity which is not described in the listing, we thought this was a stand alone cabin. More privacy between hot tubs would be good as we felt abit watched by our neighbours. Our 2nd night a family checked into one of them and their voices carried down the hill so we could hear all conversations and kids screeching. However that is no fault of the hosts and Andrew was lovely to talk to! Thank you for having us ☺️

- Natasha, June 2023
Olivia May 2023

“Really enjoyed our stay at Stargaze.”

We definitely picked the right week to visit! The weather was so lovely all week. Great location and not far from Penryn which has supermarkets, pubs & takeaways. We visited Falmouth, St Ives & Truro which were all not too far away. We enjoyed the hot tub but we did feel it could have been a bit more private as it’s right in the eye line of the entrance where other guests are coming/going.

- Olivia, May 2023

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback it is very much appreciated. We are glad you enjoyed your stay in Cornwall I will be planting more plants / Trees to assist in guests privacy Thanks Andrew & Nicola Property Owner

Michael November 2022

“We had some awful weather for our weeks stay but the lodge was warm and cosy.”

Liked the extra little touches too.We still enjoyed wind blown hot tubs. Host, Andrew was friendly and helpful and dealt with any weather related issues. Would recommend Olju lodges.

- Michael, November 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, you really did have some blustery weather, but glad the lodge was warm and cosy for you. Thank you so much for the duck eggs, we had some very tasty eggs on toast with them. Hopefully see you again when not so windy Andrew & Nicola Property Owner
Kieran October 2022

“Lovely place to stay with plenty of things in the area, the lodge we stayed in was brilliant.”

Thank you. Only one thing and that’s the small light above bed seems to have a loose connection as it kept flickering, not complaining just Letting you know.

- Kieran, October 2022

Thanks for the feedback, I have sorted the light out so hopefully okay now. Please come back soon Thank you Nicola & Andrew Property Owner
Ellis September 2022

“We Stayed at the end of September, though the weather wasn’t the best both owners did everything they could to make our stay the best it could be.”

From answering our phone calls for support straight away, to bringing Prosecco to brighten a rainy day. The cleanliness was faultless and everything we needed for our stay was provided within the cabin. The only downfall we found were the very narrow roads to get to the lodge. However, we did find that a lot of roads within cornwall are like this. Will definitely rebook in the future

- Ellis, September 2022
Huw September 2022

“Really Enjoyed our stay at Stargaze!”

Manu August 2022

“Stargaze was above our expectations, beautiful and clean with picturesque views.”

It acted as a good base for us to go and see Lands end, Eden project, Penndennis Castle. It was very well catered for a family of four. Kids loved the games that were provided and made full use of them. There was a barbecue provided but we didn’t use it. Hot tub was well maintained and boys loved it. Andrew is wonderful host, very welcoming. We had an amazing break. We fully recommend this to others.

- Manu, August 2022

Thank you for the lovely review, it was a pleasure having you stay. Hopefully see you again at Olju Lodges Property Owner
Danielle August 2022

“Lovely place to stay , the little notes left with instructions for everything was very handy .”

Might be worth also leaving some info on places to visit recommendations for local shops and pubs would have been good . After finding our way round everything is kind of close by . Only one downside was the beds all the mattress are very hard I know it would be hard to cater for everyone’s needs but I have to be honest. Thank you to the hosts , your place was beautiful.

- Danielle, August 2022

Hi Danielle Thank you so much for posting feedback, as we are brand new we really appreciate hearing about your stay. The information we include in the lodges does include local recommendations but we will update and put into a folder. If we can add anything in about places you enjoyed visiting please let us know. We are really sorry you found the mattresses hard. We put in a lot of research and read lots of reviews when we purchased the Emma premium mattresses to ensure the beds were cosy for our guests. It maybe because they are brand new they felt firmer but we will definitely monitor this and change/amend if we need to. Once again thank you so much for coming to stay with us. It was lovely to meet you all and we are glad you got to experience lovely Cornwall and Olju Lodges. Kind regards Andrew & Nicola Property Owner
Debbie August 2022

“Great holiday let would be handy to have a larger door mat to help keep the lodge clean when raining and a clothes horse would be handy to be able to hang wet towels swim stuff on.”

We really enjoyed our stay.

- Debbie, August 2022

Hi Debbie Thanks for the feedback, we are really glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We will be looking at getting shoe storage outside to minimise wet shoes inside the lodge. Great idea about the clothes horse we will get one for each lodge. Kind Regards Andrew & Nicola Property Owner
