'Forrester's Lodge' is one of only three dwellings at the end of a quarter mile woodland track, fully self-contained and very well-equipped.

Forrester's Lodge is also only a mile from the creek-side village of Gweek with the famous Seal Sanctuary, Gweek Inn, post office and Spar general stores. The tree lined road from Gweek follows the tidal creek along the wooded valley with a turning off through a shallow ford, and along the private track. Visitors have use of the spacious garden and the private woodlands. (There are footpaths around the woodland).

We had a really brilliant holiday. Plenty of space for the children to play in the garden and lots of things to do in the woods like making rope swings and damming the streams. The house was extremely comfortable - lovely and warm and very well equipped. Two excellent televisions in the house with HQ pictures. Internet access very useful too as we could view the places of interest before we left. Very peaceful and central for for visiting cornwall. Daily visit from 'Monty' the cat was a real treat for our youngest children. Hope to come again. Peter and Margaret extremely hospitable.

Forresters Lodge is in a superb setting for children - loads of space to explore, and well away from the main road. Very comfortable accommodation with all mod cons, and the owners are very helpful and friendly. Good spacious accommodation, but could do with some brightening up - very stark patio area, some plants around the place would make it much nicer.
