“A lovely, clean and homely lodge with beautiful serene surroundings”
We had a lovely stay at Screel Lodge for a week. The lodge itself is excellently equipped and has everything you could possibly require for a comfortable holiday. It was clean and welcoming upon arrival with milk and shortbread for our much needed cup of tea after a long journey. It was lovely to sit out in the garden or on the balcony area and hear nothing but birdsong. The array of birds was wonderful - we even saw two peregrine falcons in flight. Even though there are other lodges nearby, it still felt very private and quiet. We enjoyed the very picturesque walks to and around the beach in Colvend which has many aspects depending on where the tide is. All in all, it was a perfect break for the whole family, including two teenagers. Despite the fact there is no wi-fi at the lodge, as long as they have data there is enough signal in the area to avoid total meltdowns! Our only disappointment was that we did not see any badgers or red squirrels, but you can't have everything! Thank you to owner Christine for our lovely stay and for very friendly communication.

Response from the owner Thank you for taking time to write this lovely review for us . It is good to hear that your family enjoyed it despite the lack of wifi . I am pleased to say that the lidge now does have wifi though I suspect all the other benefits of the area outweigh this .
