About this property

Escape to this magical woodland lodge set within the grounds of a hotel that was once an ancient estate. Sleeping six guests, the stylish three-bedroom getaway is near Trewhiddle, 1 mile from St Austell, and makes a superb base for anyone eager to explore picturesque South Cornwall. Also make the most of the leisure facilities on site, including a swimming pool, sauna, steam room, gym and tennis courts. Sit out on your private balcony to survey your surroundings or grill your fresh Cornish produce on the shared BBQ terrace on balmy summer evenings.

Open the door to the impressive, wooden Scandinavian-style abode and stroll in to find your bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs to ensure the living accommodation captures the best views. There is a family bathroom, plus a twin bedroom, a double and a super-king-size that can also be arranged as two singles by prior request. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom. Climb the stairs to the light-filled, vaulted, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Pull the doors to the balcony open on sunny days. Unpack any provisions you have bought over in the chic kitchen area, with its granite work surfaces, ready to whip up tasty meals for your party. Settle down to film nights in front of the TV and dine together at the table. Carry your coffee out onto the balcony after dinner, then enjoy a stroll around the grounds or perhaps have a swim or game of tennis.

Plan trips out to places such as the Eden Project, 5 miles away, or the Lost Gardens of Heligan, 4 miles from the lodge. Enjoy sunny days on the beach, choosing between Porthpean, 2 miles away, or Pentewan, 3 miles away. Keen walkers might also like to challenge themselves to a stretch of the South West Coast Path.
