Lily At Rosehill Lodges

Lily is a recently refurbished lodge at Rosehill Lodges, a small site in a wooded valley near Porthtowan on the north Cornish coast. The lodge sleeps four across two bedrooms - a super king-size room with en-suite and a twin room that can convert to another super king on request - with a second bathroom shared. Woodland views from both rooms.

Outside, a glass-covered veranda leads onto the main decking area, where the private hot tub sits in a sheltered position. A wood burner in the lounge heats the lodge in cooler months. EV charging is available on site - one of relatively few self-catering properties in this part of Cornwall to offer it.

Porthtowan beach and the village pub are 450 metres from the lodge, reached via a footpath through the valley. The beach faces north-west and gets reliable swell throughout the year; the village gastro pub, with outdoor seating, overlooks the sand. Portreath, with its own surf beach and harbour, is 2.8 miles.

The village's tidal rock pool - known locally as the mermaid pool - is accessible at low tide from the beach. Dolphins, basking sharks and seals have all been recorded in these waters during summer months.

Dogs welcome, up to 2. The approach to the lodge has both a level path and steps, so the property is accessible with some mobility constraints.

Suits couples or small families wanting quality self-catering with beach within walking distance. Rated 4.9 from 18 reviews.
