Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Elemental Surf Lodge is often praised for its perfect location, situated conveniently between Fistral Beach and the town center, with Sainsbury's also nearby. Guests frequently mention the ease of renting surfboards, sometimes including a free wetsuit. The family room, featuring bunk beds and single beds, is a popular choice for families; however, some guests have noted that the rooms could use more storage. The on-site Thai restaurant adds to the convenience, and while breakfast is generally appreciated, the selection has been considered simple by some.

mixed experience at this lodge

friendly staff local recommendations small room uncomfortable bed

the staff was friendly, and they provided good recommendations for local spots.

The room was quite small. It felt cramped, and there wasn't much space to move around. the bed was uncomfortable, and i had trouble sleeping well. the noise from other guests late at night didn't help either.
