About this property

Relax at this gorgeous, Scandinavian-style lodge after long coastal walks and days out to beautiful beaches during your stay in Cornwall. Sleeping six guests, the appealing, three-bedroom hideaway nestles within the picturesque, leafy grounds of a hotel, 1 mile from St Austell and 2 miles from the sea. With its own private balcony, where you can take in the fresh air and the views, it also has access to a shared patio where you can BBQ on balmy evenings. Guests are also welcome to use the hotel pool, sauna, gym and tennis courts if they wish.

Step into this beautifully finished, timber-clad retreat to find its creative upside-down design will be perfect for your holiday. Three bedrooms, a twin, a double, and a super-king-size that can be set up as two singles if arranged in advance, are all at ground-floor level, together with a family bathroom and an en-suite bathroom. The light-filled living area is up on the first floor, encompassing an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a stunning vaulted, wooden ceiling and glass gable end with doors opening onto the balcony. The sleek kitchen area features granite work surfaces, where you can prepare your meals, and there is space to dine together and unwind in front of the TV. Pour yourselves a glass of wine on summer evenings and sit back on the balcony to look out over the mature estate.

Lace up your walking boots and head straight out from the hotel grounds to follow an array of footpaths and trails. The beach at Porthpean, 2 miles away, is a perfect place for families to swim and play games. Pentewan, 3 miles away by car, is also popular with beach lovers. Arrange trips to the Eden Project, 5 miles away, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, 4 miles away.
