Clean, comfortable and well equipped, The Lodge is perfectly located for easy access to lots of nearby villages and attractions. Hosts Pete and Sue were on site and ready to advise.

Simon United Kingdom

A beautiful place to stay and great to use as a base for getting around. Loved the quiet at night and recommend a visit . Hostess Sue and Pete are very accommodating and nothing is to much trouble. A great attention detail in the lodge thanks for a lovely stay.

Jacqueline United Kingdom

top quality, clean, secluded and great location as a base for visiting Cornwall.

Andy United Kingdom

The Lodge is situated at the end of a very quiet private lane and we felt extremely relaxed as soon as we arrived. It was presented to an incredibly high, show home standard. Pete and Sue gave us a very warm welcome. Everything was to hand and we felt that the attention to detail was simply second to none. The fully integrated kitchen, lovely granite work surfaces and super big comfy bed made us feel instantly at home. Added to the fact large screen TVs, Netflix and built in Bluetooth hifi system were all provided. Simply couldn't fault our experience, the only problem we had was the fact that we had to be back at work on Monday. Booking again for a longer stay later in the year.

Peter United Kingdom

The Lodge was absolutely ideal for two people- so comfortable, clean and well appointed. Sue and Pete were great hosts- very informative about local attractions. A fab place to stay.

Margot United Kingdom

The Lodge was exceptional; clean, cosy and beautifully equipped. Sue and Pete made us extremely welcome and gave great advice when needed. A super week and would love to return one day.

Robert United Kingdom

perfect place for peace and relaxation - superb location to get to all the sites in the area - St Mawes, Gorran, Truro, Eden project. Heligen - quiet, safe and a beautiful setting

Lyn United Kingdom

Lovely quiet location but masses to do in the local area. Sue and Pete are super friendly. Accommodation was beautifully done and a very comfy bed. Everything was spot on. Thank you.

Sandra United Kingdom

All mod cons. Extremely clean and well appointed. Perfect for a couple.

Debbie United Kingdom

This is a fantastic property finished to the highest standards. The pictures on the site do not do the lodge justice. Exceptional property.

  • Hi I noticed no dates are currently available for the rest of year. Is this because you are fully booked, or not open for booking yet? Many thanks
    Thank you for your enquiry. Our calendar is up to date, we do have availability throughout this summer but we are only taking bookings for 7 days with arrivals and departures on Saturday so this may be why you aren't seeing any availability.

Sue and Pete
The Lodge is nestled in a quiet corner in the former mining village of Polgooth and has outstanding views across the valley. This stunning property is finished to an excellent standard and has all the comforts you will need for a relaxing break, deep in the Cornish countryside, but close to many local attractions. The property boasts open plan living accommodation with south facing conservatory. It has excellent facilities including fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances including dishwasher and washing machine with granite work surfaces. The comfortable lounge area includes electric leather reclining sofa and separate ‘easy boy’ chair with the dining table set in the conservatory. There is a 40” smart TV with Netflix and all other players available. The bedroom has a luxurious super king sized, zip and link bed which can be transformed to two single beds if required. The fully tiled shower room has been beautifully finished with an extra large walk in rainfall shower and large chrome towel rail. Throughout the whole of the accommodation there is a piped Bluetooth system to all rooms including the shower room allowing for connection with any smart device.
Pete and I moved to Cornwall to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this stunning county. Following the renovation of The Lodge, which we opened in March 2018, we have welcomed many guests from all around the UK and many from as far away as Australia. Cornwall is a beautiful county where guests will take home many happy memories of their stay. The Lodge is really peaceful with stunning countryside views and is close to many local attractions including The Lost Gardens of Heligan and The Eden Project, plus there are numerous stunning beaches and harbours close by.
The village of Polgooth, a former mining village, is within easy walking distance and is located approximately three miles from Mevagissey. Here you will find the village shop/Post Office offering a great selection of locally sourced groceries including freshly baked bread and pasties, chilled food, fruit and veg and newspapers. The Polgooth Inn is a great old Cornish pub, which serves home cooked food and local ales. During the summer months there is live music on Sunday nights and during the winter you can enjoy a drink around the open coal fires. Many beaches are only a short drive away including Porthpean, a lovely sandy beach where you can take the coastal path to the historic Georgian port of Charlestown, a popular venue for TV filming, including the most recent, Poldark. Here you can tour the shipwreck museum, see the rigger ships and enjoy the cafes, shops and bars. Pentewan Sands, another large sandy beach, is also close by and here you can walk or cycle the off road trail which leads to the beach or The Lost Gardens of Heligan. The Roseland Peninsula is an area of outstanding natural beauty and has many secret coves, hidden beaches and secluded fishing harbours.
