Treat yourself and your loved one to a stay at this award winning lakeside luxury cabin with outdoor bathtub, located in a tranquil 5 acres of private land and lakes, just 15 minutes drive from Porthleven and beautiful beaches at Praa Sands and Gwithian.

This gorgeous lodge has a semi open-plan design with a bright and airy living area with huge picture windows overlooking the lake, a fabulous double bedroom area and en-suite shower room. The decor is fresh and bright with maritime touches throughout and dashes of colour. This architect-designed cabin is fully insulated, so it stays cool in summer and keeps the warmth in winter, with a luxurious touch of underfloor heating in the morning and evening. French doors open out onto your wooden veranda over the lake, a real sun-trap and perfect place to relax with a book and enjoy the stunning lake views. Outside the cabin, you'll find comfortable seating, an instagram-worthy outdoor bath by the lake and your fire pit garden area. The skies are night are perfect for star gazing, so fire up the BBQ, toast marshmallows and enjoy being surrounded by nature. And on those cooler days, snuggle up by the cosy log burner and watch a movie on the roll down white screen, just plug your laptop into the projector.

Whilst here take a tour of the 5 acres of beautiful gardens, lakes and meadows including an intriguing secret garden. The cabin comes complete with a rowing boat so why not take a turn around the lake, or try out wild swimming from your private pontoon. Cornish food boxes, holistic treatments and private yoga sessions are all available as extras to book too.

Locally you can visit the beautiful beaches on both north and south coasts of Cornwall, take a short drive to the National Trust gardens at Godolphin House or explore the beautiful countryside by bicycle. At nearby Porthleven you'll find a picturesque Cornish harbour surrounded by cafes, pubs and restaurants - and amazing fish & chips! The iconic St Michael's Mount is just a 25 minute drive from the yurt whilst the famous Eden Project is around an hour's drive and well worth a full day's visit.

No pets at the cabin. You are welcome to bring a cot for a babe in arms but please note the lake is unfenced and has deep water. The guest car park is 100 metres from the lodge along a gravel path.

In 2022 there are flexible check in days with a minimum 3 night stay except during peak times when there is a minimum 4 night stay. In 2023 you can check in on any weekday Monday-Friday, but with no check ins on a weekend day.

Eco-Tourism Information:

The current owners have done a huge amount of work on the land at Pengelly Retreat to make it more in keeping with the native Cornwall habitat and support the wildlife diversity here. They've planted more than 500 native species trees including rowan, hawthorn and birch, with plans to plant more! And planted the land to provide a diversity of habitats to sustain the wildlife, including wildflowers meadows to encourage the bees, butterflies and dragonflies.

The water which flows between the lakes and ponds here has been re-designed to be gravity fed, removing the need for electric pumpts. The lakeside yurt and cabin are also built to be low impact on the environment by using natural materials where possible, such as wood and canvas. In keeping with this focus on the environment, guests are encouraged to recycle as much as possible, with use of a dedicated recycling area from which all refuse is collected by a private waste disposal contractor who separates out all items possible to recycle.

Guests can also help by buying local from one of the nearby farm shops or ordering food boxes from a local supplier - the owners provide detailed information for all their guests with information on local attractions and places to visit, where to shop local as well as a discount code for Cornish Food Boxes.
