  • Release: This hold will be voided/released within 4 days after departure, subject to a satisfactory inspection of the property.

  • Deductions: We reserve the right to deduct funds from the security deposit for any damage to the lodge, its contents, spa facilities, or surroundings, as well as for specialized deep cleaning required due to breaches of house policies.

  • Pet Policy: Pets are strictly not allowed at Tresillian Lodge.

  • Residential Environment: The approach to the lodge includes a private lane passing through natural woodlands and rural estate grounds. Guests must show consideration for the natural environment and local heritage elements (including the Brunel viaduct grounds). Working dogs may occasionally be present on the wider estate grounds.

  • Children and Mobility: Children are welcome. The property features underfloor heating and open layouts suitable for seniors or individuals with limited mobility; however, due to the natural woodland setting, outdoor streams, and valley topography, adult supervision is required for children at all times.

  • Vehicle Liability: We accept no liability for any damage caused to low-slung, sports, or modified vehicles attempting to navigate the access track, nor for any loss or damage to vehicles parked on-site.

Limitation of Liability

  • Tresillian Lodge shall not be liable for any temporary defect, stoppage, or interruption in supply of public utilities (electricity, water, Wi-Fi) or for any loss, damage, or injury sustained by guests, unless caused by our direct negligence.
