Tucked along a rural lane in western Cornwall, this is a peaceful retreat for families or groups of friends, with up to two dogs, wanting to explore the coast and countryside. Follow clifftop trails, discover hidden coves and enjoy family beach days. Nearby, you’ll find plenty of water-based activities or you can drive to the coastal towns of Falmouth (9.5 miles) and St Ives (18.5 miles). Enjoy evenings at this spacious lodge with a private hot tub and a children’s play area close by.
Inside, an open-plan living area with patio doors is flooded with light, creating a bright and airy space for relaxing on the sofas in front of the TV. Enjoy family meals at the dining table set for six or open the doors onto the south-facing decked area and dine among nature at the patio furniture. An L-shaped kitchen with white units lies next to a breakfast island and is perfect for morning chats over a coffee. From the kitchen, head towards the family bathroom and the three bedrooms, comprising a twin, an en-suite double and a bunk room, all dressed in white linens. Step outside to the hot tub and enjoy a sundowner beneath the stars. There is ample parking outside the lodge.
While staying in Carnmenellis, you can explore countryside trails from the door. Being almost equidistant from the north and south coasts, you’re spoilt for choice with the array of beaches and clifftop walks. If you love water sports, try your hand at kayaking, paddleboarding and windsurfing at Stithians Lake Activities Centre (2 miles). Alternatively, immerse yourself in the local history and culture at Falmouth’s (9.5 miles) museums, galleries and Pendennis Castle. At St Ives (18.5 miles), explore the cobbled streets lined with shops and seafood restaurants or discover secluded coves along the South West Coast Path.
