Willow Lodge

Willow Lodge is a single-storey lodge in the grounds of the owners' smallholding, reached along a private lane about 2 miles from Constantine in the Helford area. Cars pull up on the off-road parking, which has room for 2.

Inside, the open-plan room holds the kitchen, a dining area and a sitting area with a woodburning stove. The kitchen has a breakfast bar with stools, a dual fuel cooker (electric oven, gas hob), a fridge, a freezer and a Nespresso machine, with views of the wooded valley from the kitchen area. There is a Smart TV and WiFi, and electric central heating backs up the stove.

The single bedroom has a super-king-size bed and a dressing table. Its en-suite bathroom has a roll-top bath, a separate walk-in shower, a basin and a WC. Bed linen, towels, fuel and power are all included in the rent.

Outside is an enclosed patio with furniture and a neat lawn. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome, and there is no smoking. A pub is a short drive away, and from Constantine, Falmouth is 7.1 miles and Truro 13.4 miles.

The lodge is ideal for a couple bringing dogs; it is less good for anyone needing more than one bedroom, as it sleeps two.
