Cardinham Lodge

Set beside a peaceful riverside in South Cornwall, this spacious lodge is a great choice for families, couples or friends who want easy outdoor living with creature comforts. You’ll have on-site fun on your doorstep, including a playpark, a doggy paddock, a creative den and a cosy campfire space. Treat yourself to in-lodge spa treatments, and join guided excursions with pick-up from the park. When you’re ready to explore, the harbour towns of Looe, Polperro and Fowey are 5 miles away, offering boat trips, beaches and independent shops.

Inside, a bright open-plan living space brings everyone together. Settle into the comfortable sofas for film nights on the Smart TV or gather around the dining table for unhurried meals. The kitchen area is thoughtfully laid out for sociable cooking and chatting. Three restful bedrooms include one double and two twins, each with storage for holiday gear; a dressing table and mirror make getting ready easy. A stylish shower room features a refreshing rainfall shower, and complimentary toiletries add a pampering touch, while infrared heating helps keep things cosy.

Outside, two private fenced decked areas extend your living space. Start or end the day in the outdoor copper bath or rinse off under the open-air shower, then fire up the BBQ and dine in the fresh air, staying warm with the outdoor heaters as evening falls. On-site, shared facilities include a playpark, a doggy paddock for four-legged guests, a creative den and a campfire corner for relaxed evenings. Electric vehicle charging is available on-site.

Nearby: Lansallos Beach (1.9 miles) and Lantic Bay (2.7 miles). See our Trenewan guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for families or dog owners driving electric, with EV charging on-site, up to three dogs and a doggy paddock. Less suited to those needing more than one bathroom between six guests.
