You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded, Private, Cornish Retreat. Glorious Lakeside Gardens Pet friendly.

Polgwedhen Lodge is a stylish holiday property in complete seclusion, peace and tranquillity, enjoying a private lakeside position, amidst extensive lightly wooded gardens, home to an abundance of wildlife.

The only lodge on the farm, there are no close neighbours and no passing traffic or people. You will have it all to yourself, but we are on hand if you need us.

On the veranda there are outdoor table and chairs for al fresco dining, directly overlooking the lake, and there is a terrace with sun loungers and barbecue for lazy summer days. Our guests love strolling around the gardens and taking the boat for a leisurely little rowing trip on the lake.

The views across the lake are to die for, and this really is an oasis of peace, beauty and tranquillity. A glass of wine on the veranda, a private summer barbecue or a cosy winter fireside cream tea, in these beautiful surroundings- what else is there to wish for?

Inside there is an open plan living area with fully equipped kitchen, living and dining area. The bedroom features a double mahogany 4 Poster bed, and plenty of storage space. The newly refurbished shower room with shower, hand basin and WC is en-suite to the bedroom. A pebble effect electric fire in the living area, radiator in the bedroom and heated towel rail in the shower room makes the Lodge comfortable, cosy and welcoming all the year round. Co-ordinating fabrics in soft pastels compliment the natural wood floors, walls and ceilings and vaulted ceilings give a light airy feel.

Your dog will be a welcome guest. The large gardens are ideal for dog sniffaris - and there is a secure, fenced area to the side of the lodge. You can while away the hours, listening to the birds and other wildlife. There are super walks from the Lodge itself or you can venture out to the stunning beaches, clifftop walks, pubs and cafes. All the major attractions of Cornwall, a host of towns and pretty villages and both North and South coasts are easily reached.

A perfect rural retreat, just for two.

Perfect secluded retreat

We booked a week at the lodge for our honeymoon. On our arrival we thought the location was amazing, so picturesque, sat in front of a lake. As we entered the lodge another surprise awaited us.. a Cornish cream tea, lovely, and was really appreciated. Everything about the lodge was perfect, spotlessly clean, very, very comfortable, couldn't fault it. The owners were extremely friendly and so obliging. We would highly recommend it.

Amazing place to stay!

We had a wonderful time staying at the lodge. The location is great - we enjoyed the peace and quiet but were still close to town. A delicious cream tea was waiting when we arrived and the lodge had everything we needed for our stay. Loved it!!!

The perfect getaway for nature lovers

An amazing, relaxing and peaceful experience in this property. The cabin was spotless, very charming and homely. You couldn't beat the surroundings; lush foliage surrounding a beautiful lake with ducks. We were close enough to local farm shops and Truro town centre, but far away enough from main roads and traffic. Very quiet and tranquil. Beaches are 20-25 mins away and you can reach various towns and attractions within 45 mins (e.g. St. Ives, Falmouth, Eden Project). Vanda was the most welcoming host; friendly, approachable and helpful. She popped by to see if we were settling in OK and then left us to ourselves for our 6 nights there. The cream tea upon arrival was a lovely touch. 100% recommended!

Just Perfect!

Stunning! The cosiest lodge with the most beautiful view. A perfect, romantic location, close enough to enjoy a mixture of bars, restaurants and shopping as well as being just a few miles from the beach. Vanda was lovely, she popped very briefly to check that we were ok and then left us to it to forget the world. The complimentary cream tea awaiting our arrival was very welcoming. This lodge was so lovely that we chose to stay in and order a takeaway on a night that we had originally planned to go out. We did not want to leave and will definitely be returning. We highly recommend staying here. It really was just perfect!

Cosy and comfortable

We found the place easily with the clear directions. The cosy, delightful lodge placed in an idyllic setting was quiet and set back from any traffic noise and yet close enough to Truro to be convenient. Vanda was very welcoming and we enjoyed the welcome scones. Ideal location for us to explore the north coast - St Ives, Godrevy and Perranporth during our long weekend break. Plenty of places to eat out but would advise to book ahead.
