The place was just lovely, as described, it was peaceful & the hot tub was great. Some parts of the Boathouse werent cleaned well at all, think it needs a good deep clean. A blind definitely needs putting up in the window as the light first thing in the morning wakes you up. The toilet door is just useless if Im honest. Also could do with instructions for heater, air con etc. We still had a great time though.
Fantastic! Super comfortable lodge in blissful setting. Highly recommended.
We had the most wonderful stay ay the Rusty Boathouse! We will definitely return. Everything was spotless, the location was stunning. Although next to other pods we felt secluded which was exactly what we wanted. This was a unique stay. Highly recommend!
What an absolutely beautiful experience staying here was. We spent hours in the hot tub and on the deck chairs just watching the wildlife in the day and the bats at night. The little lake was beautiful with loads of dragonflies and damselflies zipping around. We had a go in the rowing boat which was pure fun and laughter inducing. The lodge was very well laid out, clean and very discreet, although there are other lodges nearby we never saw anyone during our stay exactly what we wanted. We loved it so much we want to come back again. Very peaceful and very beautiful. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into this lodge. The most relaxing 3 nights weve had in a long time. I cant even think of anything negative about this place, it was pure bliss. Oh and how could I forget the alpacas, we had a little meet n greet with them when we arrived. This place has to be on the top of your list of places to go.
What a fantastic find. The boathouse was extremely comfortable and well equipped in a secluded, peaceful situation with a great outlook. To wake up in the morning & look out over the small lake & see a family of geese, moorhens & a variety of birds flying around was superb. With the added bonus of having a private hot tub it resulted in a perfect relaxing week even though the weather was poor. Would highly recommend this accommodation & we will hopefully return in the near future.
Beautiful We have just got back from The Rusty Boathouse, we stayed the May bank holiday Monday for 2 nights so we were super lucky and had amazing weather It is beautiful, exactly like the photos, the fire pit outside has since been upgraded and now is gas which we found super easy to use. Inside there is air conditioning which we definitely needed and was grateful for. Its in such a peaceful location and only a 10 minute drive into New Quay where we went to spend the day. Highly recommend this place. Like some others have said, if I was to be reallyyyy picky, it would have been nice to have a blind on the kitchenliving area door.
An amazing staycation! Location was perfectly secluded and peaceful. The views with the sunrisesunsets were stunning! Even though the weather wasnt great it was the perfect accommodation for a cosy few days, the weather couldnt stop us using the hot tub either! Highly recommended! Well definitely be back!
Wow!!! What an amazing place. Beautiful scenery, lovely lake which we took the boat on and had a go
Absolutely loved the rusty boathouse. Very comfortable and great places to explore locally. Fabulous location and wonderful views.
I can honestly say it exceeded all my expectations. The lodge itself was immaculate. It struck the perfect balance between luxury and relaxation, making it so easy to unwind and fully enjoy the experience. Waking up to the gorgeous views each morning was an absolute highlight. What truly made the stay exceptional, though, was the atmosphere. It felt private, tranquil, and special the perfect escape from everyday life. Whether relaxing inside or enjoying the outdoor space, everything about it felt seamless and well maintained. When leaving with my partner we had regrets that we didnt book longer!! If I had to suggest one small improvement, it would simply be adding a blind to the sliding door. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful, highquality getaway. It was a truly memorable experience. Thank you so much.
Perfect autumn break. The rusty boat house is cosy & well equipped , with the added bonus of a beautiful sea view over the pond. The hot tub is secluded with the lovely addition of trailing lights. We have stayed in all 3 pods now and will continue to visit. Its a great base to venture out and explore different places. New Quay is one of our favourites.
A soon as we unlocked the door it took our breath away. It was so warm and private I cant emphasise enough how perfect it was. We went away for a short minymoon and we definitely will be going back. It was November so we thought it would be cold, it was warm enough to the point of needing the air con on one night. The hot tub had an airlock no fault of anyones and it turned off. The owner was round with someone to fix it within the hour. I could not fault them. It was quiet and peaceful, we had alpacas opposite us which were lovely to watch. When we were departing he wished us fair well and also went to fetch some scissors to help us cut our wedding ribbons off our car for our drive home. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you!
Absolutely stunning accommodation. That actually looked like the listing. Was really lovely. The hot tub looked super clean and was really nice to sit in. Only thing I will mention that was a bit questionable was the toilet door, there may aswell not of been one. It doesnt shut, doesnt have a latch its a swing door with an open bottom and top. if you shut it up it just falls open. luckily me and my partner are quite comfortable with each other, otherwise it might've been a little awkward. I will still give 5 because the accommodation was that nice! would stay again for sure! Also beautiful views, including cute Alpacas! Thanks for a lovely stay
What a gem, the location is brilliant, peaceful, picturesque and despite a small issue on arrival re water supply, which the host fixed immediately which was very reassuring, I loved staying here. The fridge is ample sized we took frozen meals which we left in the fridge for our 4 night stay. The kitchen area is well equipped cooker, mwave, kettle, toaster etc. Bathroom area is excellent. Hot tub very relaxing. What's not to like. Everything was just first class.
Lovely relaxing stay at the rusty boathouse already booked the tripod for next ... Lovely relaxing stay at the rusty boathouse already booked the tripod for next year cant wait to go back ps morris the moorhen will be knocking on glass door to wake you up
Absolutely fabulous. Loved it.
Lovely modern little pod. Feels very luxurious. Felt very spoilt with the scenery and hot tub. Very clean and perfect for what we wanted. Close to local shops, restaurants and beaches.
Property is so nice and such a nice escape from the real work however, An extra blind on the left door and widow as the sun comes through and wakes you up, maybe a bigger place to hang up clothes bigger bed side tables so you can put more than just a drink on them, however everything else was perfect,.
Such a stunning glamping pod. So relaxing by the pond, everything you need and an excellent location for coastal walks and attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Rusty Boathouse.
We absolutely loved it. Very private , really nice lodge with lovely scenery and wildlife from the lake to the birds tapping at the window in the morning. Can't wait to return tbh. Needless to say we were very happy with our stay.
