A stay at Polgwedhen Lodge gives you prime position on the edge of a lake, in private gardens midway between Cornwall’s north and south coasts. You share the spot only with dragonflies, ducks, deer and other wildlife. There are no other campers or glampers here; this place is just for you. And, in fact, it sits along with its owner’s house, at the end of a private lane, half a mile from the nearest road. In the summer a rowing boat is provided to help you enjoy this peaceful location. In the winter, the lodge, with its electric fire blazing, is a cosy wildlife hide. It’s also an excellent base for exploring Cornwall.
Sleeping two, Polgwedhen Lodge is a lovely self-contained hideaway. It has an open-plan living, dining and cooking area with a separate bedroom featuring a four-poster bed as well as an en suite shower and loo. If this is counted as glamping, it’s rather high end with everything you expect from a holiday cottage plus an unbeatable connection to the outdoors. A veranda at the front looks over the lake, the one at the back towards the trees of the lightly wooded garden that all this sits in. There are mature trees and shrubbery here which make the most of Cornwall’s warm micro-climate and there’s something to look at whatever time of year you come – it’s open all year round.
In summer, the beaches at St Agnes and Perranporth might be the go-to day trip, in winter the warm domes of the Eden Project are tempting. Although you feel like you are miles from everything at Polgwedhen Lodge, both are within reach of here and there a lot that’s even closer. There are pubs in both the neighbouring villages and a choice of shops as well. Truro the county town is four miles down the road and for walks and bike rides, you can head straight out from the lodge – if you can bear to leave it behind for an hour or two.
Polgwedhen is the only lodge onsite and tucked away in lightly wooded lakeside gardens with its own driveway and lakeside views. Very private and secluded. In the summer we provide you with sun loungers, a BBQ and your very own rowing boat to view the gardens and wildlife from the water. In the winter the lodge is a cosy getaway from the hustle and bustle of normal life. If you are looking for a peaceful and private Cornish retreat, you have found it. The Lodge is situated at the end of a private lane, surrounded by farmland and countryside. Polgwedhen is a delightful country retreat with everything you need to unwind and make your stay relaxing and memorable. A fully equipped open plan kitchen/comfortable living area, double bedroom with a romantic, handmade four-poster bed, shower room/wc, warm and cosy, an idyllic private location- what more could you want?
