Day One: Arrive, Unwind, and Settle In

Arrive at The Lodge, Polgooth and take a moment to truly switch off. From the moment you step inside, the calm and comfort of the space invites you to relax.

Unpack, put the kettle on, and enjoy a quiet drink out on your private patio or inside the cosy living space. After your journey, there’s no need to rush — this first evening is all about slowing down.

For dinner, you may choose to explore nearby options or simply enjoy a peaceful night in. You can find some of our favourite local recommendations on our explore & walks page.

Day Two: Explore the Best of Cornwall

After a relaxed morning, head out to explore some of Cornwall’s most iconic attractions, all within easy reach.

Start with a visit to the world-renowned Eden Project, where you can wander through its stunning biomes and beautifully curated gardens. Alternatively, the nearby Lost Gardens of Heligan offer a more tranquil experience, with winding paths and hidden corners.

In the afternoon, take a trip to the coast — perhaps to the charming harbour village of Mevagissey — where you can enjoy fresh sea air and waterside views.

Day Three: Slow Mornings and Coastal Moments

Your final full day is the perfect opportunity to take things at a slower pace. Enjoy a long, relaxed breakfast before heading out for a gentle coastal walk or a visit to one of the many nearby beaches. Whether you choose to explore or simply sit and take in the views, this is your time to fully unwind.

Alternatively, spend the day enjoying the comfort of The Lodge itself — designed to be a peaceful retreat for couples.

Day Four: A Relaxed Departure

After a restful night, enjoy one last morning before preparing for your journey home. Take a moment to soak up the peaceful surroundings — and perhaps start planning your return visit.
