    It was ideal for us to have time away. It was warm and comfortable and had all we needed. The grounds outside were perfect for our dogs and it was remote enough for us to have privacy. The cream tea on arrival was a real treat.

To watch out great promotional video, go to youtube and type in polgwedhen lodge. Polgwedhen Lodge is really special because of its truly private and secluded location. It is within the 10 acres which comprises our smallholding, but it has its own driveway off the main drive. The farmhouse is the only other property, but it does not overlook the Lodge, and the Lodge does not overlook the farmhouse. Sometimes, people are under the impression that this is one of several lodges, but this is not the case. Polgwedhen Lodge is the only one and enjoys its glorious lakeside location all on its own. Even better, it occupies the sunniest spot on the whole property! We live in the farmhouse, and we like to say that we are on hand if needed, but that we do not intrude. This is the perfect hideaway for a romantic break, or to unwind and take in the peace of the natural environment around you, whilst still enjoying easy access to both North and South coasts and all the best attractions in Cornwall.
We are former hoteliers and we ran a very beautiful Georgian Country House hotel with lovely grounds of 11 acres for 20 years, just a little way away from Polgwedhen, near St. Agnes. We sold the hotel only because our energy levels were not as high as they were 20 years previously! We searched for a secluded property in beautiful surroundings, which matched our hotel, in which to make our home, and Polgwedhen ticked all the boxes. Having been in the hospitality industry for so long, we missed it, so we decided upon a self-catering property within our grounds, and Polgwedhen Lodge was born. We love it here, and we hope that you will too!
You are never far from the sea in Cornwall, and Polgwedhen is well situated to reach both coasts. Surfing, swimming, sailing, fishing, cliff walking, enjoying amazing scenery and an awesome natural environment or just lazing on the beach and acquiring a tan are all everyday activities. The Great Gardens of Cornwall, famous for wonderful collections of camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias are not to be missed. Some are National Trust owned, some are privately owned, but they are all well worth a visit. Cornwall has become well know as a foodie destination and the choice of high quality restaurants is enormous, headed up by household name chefs such as Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver and Nathan Outlaw. And don't forget those iconic destinations such as the Eden Project, the National Maritime Museum, Heligan Gardens, The Tate St Ives, and many more. The recent Poldark TV series has brought focus to the Cornish landscape and whilst you are here you can follow the Poldark trail. To help our guests make the most of their stay, we have produced a speci document, "The Best of Cornwall", which highlights the best places to see and the best things to do in each area of the county
