About this property

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

Polgwedhen Lodge is 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.

There are no other lodges here and no close neighbours. You will have the site 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 from the verandah or from the loungers on the lawns are to die for, and this really is an oasis of peace, beauty and tranquility. A glass of wine on the verandah, a private summer barbecue or a cosy winter fireside cream tea,in these beautiful surroundings- what else is their 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 shower room with 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 complement the natural wood floors, walls and ceilings and vaulted ceilings give a light airy feel.

Polgwedhen Lodge is one on its own in the private grounds of Polgwedhen Farm - this is not a holiday complex - and is an oasis of peace and calm, yet 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.

About the host

Hosted by Vanda Arthur

Host profile image
We are former hoteliers and after 20 years of running our own country house hotel, just 5 miles away, and wanted to continue with the enjoyment of welcoming guests, helping them make the most of their stay and providing them with great accommodation as a backdrop to a wonderful holiday in our wonderful county. So we decided to welcome guests into our Lodge by the lake in our grounds. We know from experience that a friendly approach, a personal service with attention to detail and a great location are important to our guests. We live in the farmhouse at Polgwedhen, but the house does not overlook the Lodge and the Lodge does not overlook the house. We like to be unobtrusive, but on hand if you need anything, even if it's just a chat! We hope to welcome you to Polgwedhen for a well deserved break, and we hope that you will love Polgwedhen as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Polgwedhen Lodge is ideally located for exploring all of the best that Cornwall has to offer. The North Coast at St Agnes is only 5 miles away, Falmouth on the South Coast is a 10 mile drive and the main A30, which will lead you to anywhere in Cornwall is a mere 5 minute drive. However, once at Polgwedhen, accessed via a 1/2 mile private road and surrounded by 10 acres of gardens, lakeside and pasture, you are truly away from it all and in a private world of your own. where you can kick back and relax in peace.

What makes this property unique

Polgwedhen Lodge sits within the grounds of Polgwedhen Farm, utterly secluded in lightly wooded lakeside gardens, with views overlooking the ornamental lake, indeed its feet almost dip into the water! Stylish, comfortable, private and tranquil - a veritable Cornish Hideaway.
