Penwarne Lodge

Penwarne Lodge is a 2-bedroom cottage on the Penwarne Estate near Mawnan Smith, sleeping 4 with 1 bathroom. The sitting room has a woodburning stove, and there is also an open fire. The garden is private and enclosed, though the boundary is not escape-proof, so keep an eye on dogs. Off-road parking, Wi-Fi, a dishwasher and a washing machine are included, and dogs are welcome. Both bedrooms are on the first floor and the bathroom is on the ground floor. Access is via a private estate road that is unmade and uneven in parts.

The estate setting gives the lodge a degree of privacy not found in standard village rentals. The nearest beach is 3 miles away. Maenporth is a sheltered sandy cove with a cafe and car park, less crowded than the Falmouth town beaches, and Porth Saxon and Swanpool are further along the same coast.

Falmouth is approximately 15 minutes by car, with the National Maritime Museum, the Moor, and the Events Square reached from the waterfront. The Penryn campus of Falmouth University and the train station at Penryn are also close for those without a car.

The Helford River and Trebah Garden are within a short drive of the lodge. Trebah covers around 26 acres and is one of the more established sub-tropical gardens on the Fal.

Changeover is Friday.

Ideal for couples or a small family with a dog, wanting countryside access close to Falmouth without the noise of the town itself. Less good for groups larger than 4, or guests who need step-free access and would want to check with the owner before booking.
