2nd time visitors to this lodge. In a very quiet area but not far from lots of lovely destinations. We travelled to Plymouth, Bude and Port Isaac and all of them within an hours travel. Lodge is beautifully decorated and kitted out with all the essentials you might need. Lots of lovely touches like blankets, games and of course the bath robes that you need to pay extra for. The Hot tub was the main attraction for us and we did lots of star gazing each night. The hot tub is right outside the main bedroom so if you are a light sleeper like I am, take some earplugs! If you go out venturing make sure to keep to the main roads as our satnav took us down some heart stopping country lanes, especially when you meet a tractor coming towards you on a single lane road! The Sky stream can be temperamental as it relies on WiFi but we have this at home so no surprise to us. Overall, a really lovely lodge, in a beautiful area and well managed.

Hawthorne Lodge at 15 Roadford Lake Lodges Reviews
12 reviews from guests who stayed at Hawthorne Lodge at 15 Roadford Lake Lodges
This was our second time staying at Hawthorne and it was once again lovely. All the amenities you’d need and such a homely feel. My only critique is that you cannot alter the heating temp or when it comes on. Despite that all was great. Will likely return for a third time.
Stayed here for new years and we loved it! Very clean and spacious. Location wise it is very remote however we loved that especially for the time of year so it was perfect for what we were looking for. Site very clean and tidy and just an all round amazing stay.
What a fabulous place we had a fantastic stay and our dog loved the walk around the lake and going to the on site cafe the staff were amazing a very welcome restful place thanks for having such a wonderful location amazing.
We had a fantastic week at this lodge we will definitely be coming back next year. Loved everything around us so peaceful and calm absolute taken back with the lodge so modern and to a high standard. We will be back!! Thank you for an amazing stay.
Really nice lodge, the decor was amazing. We all really enjoyed the hot tub. Shame the weather wasn’t the best as we didn’t get to go on the lake. Maybe next time.
Generally the lodge was spotless and a lovely setup - the only issue was the bed. The top pillows smelt strongly of sweat, which is not particularly welcoming after a long day travelling. Luckily there were extra pillows to swap with but it left a negative impression and felt like I was staying at someone's house rather than a guest lodge with clean furnishings. The bed was also very small, would be better with a king size. The location was perfect, absolutely beautiful location with the lake just minutes away by foot and the cafe food was lovely (highly recommend trying the ice cream!) The amenities at the lodge were great, there was plenty of room for everything and we enjoyed a relaxing week with our two cocker spaniels.
The site is very quiet, if you allow for the pheasants at 5.20am tapping on the windows looking at themselves. Everything about the lodge was quality but needs a good butter spreading knife. One or two little things need fixing, like the outdoors umbrella that came crashing down when not in the up position on a day with gusty wind. Just needed a bolt not an old Allen key put in the hole. These things apart the lodge was one of the best we had stayed in. TV in bedroom did not work, would not search and store channels. The on site cafe/restaurant closes at 4pm which is a bit early. Also the access to the cafe needs sorting as disabled people could not use a mobility scooter from the site. Overall for what we paid, it was just about a fair price but if much more had been unusable and having no one manning the reception at all during the day when there should have been someone there I found odd and things could have been resolved easier. Did report things via phone number as advised and told someone would come and sort but never appeared, again a bit of a red flag to me.
We loved Hawthorn Lodge, it had everything we needed for a totally relaxing and chilled long weekend break. The location was excellent and our dog loved her walks around the lake. We even had an evening visit from a very handsome male pheasant who tapped on the front door, each evening!
we had a lovely stay, lovely vacation the lodge was great, the only thing i would suggest is it could do with more cooking equipment, pots and pans dishes etc but otherwise very very good.
Lodge is excellent, everything you could wish for and more. Air Conditioning in bedrooms was a godsend in the hot weather and heat we experienced while there. Outside area and patio furniture top notch and really comfy. Lodge was spotlessly clean and very spacious, could not fault anything would highly recommend.
We went away with parents for a belated Christmas celebration and the lodge provided all the comfort and luxuries promised and is a very impressive place to stay. Great for four adults as the bedrooms were separated in this lodge. Plenty of space and gorgeous decor.
