Bring your significant other and enjoy a tranquil retreat in this fabulous, grass-roofed lodge, tucked among the trees in a complex of similar properties. It’s just 0.5 miles from the spectacular Porthtowan Beach, which is renowned for its soft, golden sand and excellent surfing waves. In this popular coastal village, you’ll also find a small choice of great places to eat and drink, including a gastro-pub and a laid-back beach bar. For even more choice, the picturesque village of St Agnes (3 miles) boasts a surprising number of restaurants within its charming streets. The South West Coast Path is absolutely stunning, with scenic walks both east and west, including a hike past the iconic remains of Wheal Coates engine house to Chapel Porth Beach, 2 miles away. For a complete change, the cathedral city of Truro, with its shops, galleries and fascinating museum, is just 9.5 miles away.
Stroll along the path or up the steps and head inside this modern/rustic lodge, which has been carefully designed for style, comfort and practicality, and features superb furnishings complemented by natural accents. You’ll be drawn to the central wood burner, as useful for taking the chill off after a day spent in the waves as it is for extra warmth during the winter months. Cosy up in the soft seating and you can spend the evening unwinding with a good book or a movie on the Smart TV. When it comes to cooking, the kitchen has everything you’ll need, including a microwave and a dishwasher, and there’s a dining table just for two where you can linger over romantic meals. At bedtime, follow the hallway to the delightful super-king-size bedroom and enjoy a great night’s rest. Completing this incredible interior is a sleek bathroom which offers the choice of long soaks in the bath or refreshing showers under the rainfall head.
When it comes to outside space, the lodge has it covered – literally. Your raised deck has a glazed canopy which protects you from the elements when you want to spend time in the fresh air, whether it’s for a meal alfresco or sessions in the bubbling hot tub. A side deck is home to a heated, outdoor shower, ideal after beach days, and a very useful storage cupboard for wetsuits and body boards. At the bottom of the steps is a lawned garden, where you’ll find a charcoal BBQ for grilling up tasty local produce picked up on your travels. Another great benefit is a private parking space for one car.
