Opened in 2013, Trecombe Lakes is one of Cornwall's loveliest glampsites. Secreted in a tranquil waterside spot near the charming village of Constantine, this idyllic setting is perfect for a hassle-free Cornish break.
The six pods which comprise the glamping lodgings are perfect for reluctant tent campers. Somehow managing to be both cosy and airy, the fully insulated pods are kitted out with comfy beds (one double and a couple of singles) and linen so all you need do is bring yourself and an appetite for exploring this magical corner of south-west England. There's even a cute little kitchenette so you can cook up a storm using some of the fine Cornish produce on offer (be sure to ask about their special breakfast hampers) and an en-suite toilet and shower room inside each pod.
The newest addition to Trecombe Lakes is the super luxurious woodland lodge. More treehouse than cabin, this hi-spec abode sleeps up to six and comes brimming with all mod cons including underfloor heating and stylish interiors. There's a wood-fired Swedish hot tub on the veranda, with gorgeous views of the surrounding woodland and lakes.
Kids will love exploring the nine acres of woodland and the play area with climbing wall, treehouse, nets and rope swings. The centrepiece of the site though is the eponymous lake (conscientiously fenced off from the play area). Should you tire of the innumerable places to visit offsite (including the path of the nearby Helford River), jump in one of the complimentary rowing boats for a peaceful paddle on the water, before lounging back on your decking with a beer and a barbie on the go. Pure bliss.
