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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen -

Aug 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Anthony B.

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!!! ##### Lindsey Y. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt & Jen H. Aug 26, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Matt & Jen H. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul R.

Aug 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Christine R. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah P. Mar 25, 2019 #### 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. ##### Sarah P.

Sep 18, 2016 #### Amazing, so peaceful and relaxing The lodge is perfectly situated near a private lake and wooded area. If you want to get away from it all but be close enough to drive to places such as Truro, Falmouth, St Ives, the Eden Project etc then this is it. The lodge has everything you could possibly need. We met the owners who were lovely, they were on hand if you needed anything but otherwise they leave you alone. The lodge is one of a kind, very clean and comfortable, on its own and not overlooked. We will definitely be returning. Stuart and Sally x ##### Stuart S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manda H.

If you want a cosy place that's tucked away, peaceful, restful and surrounded by its own grounds, this is just the place! You feel you're remote but are close to Truro and all the right roads to the coast within about 20 mins. The owners are lovely and the accommodation great. It's got everything you need for a relaxing holiday in Cornwall. We were able to take our dog and she loved it too (keep them on a lead 'cos of the geese, ducks and the owners' animals). Highly recommended. ##### Darren F.
