Om overnatningsstedet

Minutter fra St Ives, fantastiske strande og St Michael's Mount!

Hufflepuff Lodge er en ejendom med to soveværelser, der sover 4/5-personers self catering.

Vågn op til uforstyrret panoramaudsigt over landskabet så langt øjet kan se i den ene retning og udsigt lige over til St Michael's Mount og havet i den anden. Bekvemt beliggende på A30 Coast to Coast road lige uden for St Ives tæt på Hayle, Mounts Bay (St. Michael's Mount er tydeligt synlig fra vinduerne!) og Penzance, finder du Hufflepuff Lodge knyttet til The Old Schoolhouse i Whitecross.

Hufflepuff lodge er fuldt udstyret med de komplette Sky Movies & Sky Sport-pakker, plus superhurtigt Infinity-bredbånd og et udvalg af familiebrætspil og bøger, der serverer dem, der foretrækker at bo i og bare slappe af. Omvendt finder du også et udvalg af strandudstyr, bodyboards og legetøj, som du kan nyde, når du føler dig aktiv!

Den åbne topbus i højsæsonen (lukket top på andre tidspunkter) stopper lige uden for Hufflepuff Lodge til St Ives, Hayle og Truro i den ene retning eller til Mounts Bay, Penzance og Mousehole i den anden, så du ikke engang behøver at bekymre dig med din bil, hvis du ikke vil!

Star Inn, en prisvindende pub og hjemsted for Penzance Brewing Company, ligger kun en kort gåtur væk, ligesom en kinesisk takeaway (der leverer!), Spar-butik til forsyninger og postkontor. Der er et antal pubber og restauranter at vælge imellem inden for en kort 5/10 minutters kørsel fra ejendommen eller tage bussen, hvis du foretrækker at efterlade bilen.

Med mange prisbelønnede strande i meget tæt nærhed, såsom St Ives, Porthminster, Porthmeor, 3 miles med fantastisk gyldent sand ved Hayle, Gwitian, Marazion med St Michael's Mount, Sennen Cove, Praa Sands, Peranuthnoe ... bare for at nævne en få, vil du være absolut forkælet efter valg. Alle er Life Guarded i hovedsæsonen.

Slå folkemængderne i højsæsonen ved at gå ned til St Erth Station, hvor du kan komme på det berømte tog fra Lelant til St Ives, vælge de bedste sæder, før alle hober på Lelant (hot tip til dig der!) og nyd den betagende udsigt på den berømte naturskønne rejse rundt i bugten.

Nem adgang til South West Costal stien, og der er masser af stier og Geocaching-ruter til at nyde lige uden for døren. Tate Gallery, Jubilee Pool, Paradise Park, Sculpture Gardens og fantastiske te-værelser er inden for rækkevidde, og det fantastiske udendørs Minack Theatre, Lands End-oplevelsen, Flambards og Eden Project er kun en kort køretur væk.

For dem, der elsker at shoppe, er Truro kun 20 minutter væk i bil med alle de store navne, du ville forvente at se i enhver storby. Det holder det er Farmers Market lørdag formiddag, og Penzance har et Farmers Market på en fredag formiddag.

Hufflepuff Lodge er ideelt beliggende som en bekvem base, uden nogen af de typisk hårforhøjende korniske smalle baner for at navigere for at komme til det! En ideel beliggenhed til praktisk, hurtig og nem rækkevidde af alt det bedste, som smukke West Cornwall har at byde på.

Ejendom består af:

Meget stort soveværelse

Med king size, super comfy seng. Masser af plads til den 5. seng om nødvendigt (rådgive om booking) samt en smuk creme blød lædersofa, der trækker ud i en behagelig dobbeltseng om nødvendigt, hvilket muliggør en maksimal soveplads for op til 7 personer om nødvendigt. (Ejerens anbefalede belægningsprogram til komfortable siddepladser, spisning osv. Er dog 5). Garderobe, skuffer, natskabe med lamper, spejl, hårtørrer leveres.

2. soveværelse

Let adgang og parkering for op til 2 biler på indkørslen direkte uden for hytten.

Der er overhovedet ingen lysforurening, så der er en stor picnicbænk på ejendommens forhave, så gæsterne kan sidde og forbløffe den spektakulære udsigt over Mælkevejen direkte sammen med St. Michael's Mount, når dens lyser op og smukke blinkende lys fra Marazion og Penzance i det fjerne.

Such a beautiful home from home, it had everything we needed. It was clean & comfortable and exactly where we like to be. We were greeted with a lovely hamper and sweets & chocolates for the children. Lovely to have outside space. The washer dryer was a lovely bonus which meant we arrived home with zero washing :)We will definitely look at returning.

Hufflepuff Lodge: The Ideal Holiday Destination.

From first to last it was all we could have hoped for. Welcome Pack to die for; the best we have ever had. Hufflepuff was the perfect self catering holiday destination for any age group. Michael and Julie were the perfect hosts for a perfect stay. The icing on the cake was the unexpected gifts when we left.

My stay was everything it said it would be and everything I expected. The location was perfect for my plans to walk the western end of the southwest coast path. The bus stop is on the door step and buses serve all the main locations meaning travel was super easy. Stayed for nearly a month and it became home from home. Hosts where great.

Lovely base to explore Cornwall

We had a lovely stay at Hufflepuff Lodge. We were welcomed with a wonderful package of local goodies & a special treat for our little boy. The place has pretty much everything you would need for a home away from home stay. We found the location made it easy to access some beautiful spots around Cornwall & it was nice to come back at the end of the day to a comfy bed! Although we didnt meet the owners we had regular contact with them during our stay offering any help we might need. Definitely recommend!

I'd looked at this property for a few years and finally managed to have the pleasure of staying there last week and it did not disappoint. The main bedroom is so spacious, I felt very relaxed. It had everything needed for a wonderful stay - the welcome gifts were so thoughtful and the jam was delicious. The shed with the beach equipment was great as was the board games. I would highly recommend a visit there and I hope to return soon. Thank you Michael & Julie

Lovely week in Cornwall only briefly dampened by the good old British weather. Julie and Michael were wonderful hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and their welcome was fantastic! The cottage has everything you need for a base but the location is everything!! We were excited to find some of the most beautiful parts of Cornwall within a short drive away not to mention being able to see St Michael's Mount from the bedroom window. Lovely stay. Thank you.

We had the most wondrful family holiday at the Hufflepuff lodge. Communication with Michael and Julie was brilliant prior to our stay and throughout. They sent us some great recommendations for nearby family friendly places. The accommodation was perfect, there was nothing they hadnt thought of. We used the bus stop outside the lodge everyday to go between Penzance and St Ives. We were overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of the welcome gifts. We would definitely recommend this property and we will certainty be back. Many thanks for accommodating our first family holiday.

60th birthday trip to Cornwall

We stayed at the cottage for a week and had a delightful time. There were plenty of goodies, flowers and a bottle of fizz waiting for us on arrival. The cottage is on the A30 but traffic noise was no issue though care is needed turning out of the drive. The location is perfect for exploring West Cornwall. The bathroom got a little steamy as the only ventilation was a window but that is a very minor quibble. All in all the cottage added wonderfully to a great trio. Thank you😁

Great location

My overall impression was that the place needs some care shown to it to bring it up to a much better standard . The fact it’s up for sale may be reason it’s fallen below such a great standard we had read about in previous reviews . The welcome pack and location is the best things about this stay.The place is tired and needs updating . The barking dog in main house was annoying,Which the owners apologised for. The microwave, toaster , tap in kitchen all need replacing . The linen on our bed was poor quality,pillows were flat as pancakes. The off road parking is great but be warned of the potholes outside the drive . Sadly we would not stay here again .

We are sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations and appreciate your feedback, as it is only when guests bring items to our attention that we can act on them. However, we do wonder why you would choose not to bring these to our attention during your stay, when many of these items could have been easily resolved whilst you were with us, especially the kitchen tap which we had not been made aware was broken by the previous guests. We could also have easily pointed out where additional bedding and spare pillows are stored for guests use, had you mentioned this to us. The only issue we may have struggled with was the pothole on the road outside the driveway, which is the Council's responsibility! We are glad that you appreciated our Welcome Pack and the great location that Hufflepuff Lodge enjoys and that we were able to offer you a much earlier check-in time on your arrival day, as we were aware you had a long journey to reach us.

A little gem in Penzance!

We loved our stay at the charming Hufflepuff Lodge in Penzance. Michael and Julie went out of their way to make us comfortable and spoilt us with Cornish treats and lovely gifts! I had wanted to visit Cornwall ever since reading Enid Blyton's Malory Towers, in primary school, and they sweetly gave me a lovely set of Malory Towers stories, which was so thoughtful and heartwarming. Michael really went above and beyond, and picked us up and dropped us off to the station, seeing us burdened down with 6 suitcases and our 10 & 12 year olds! The lodge is clean, cozy and charming, with excellent facilities, and very close to the bus stop, so we were able to get around the whole place with minimal effort. Michael, even printed off bus schedules that proved very helpful! The master bedroom is huge, and the kids loved their bedroom with twin beds and gorgeous views! We would highly recommend this lovely property to all who visit Cornwall!

Good location

We enjoyed our stay but the property is tired and smells a little damp. Appreciate the rental price is cheaper than others in the area so cannot grumble but feel it should be noted. The property is well equipped with everything you need and more, the real bonus is the location, just perfect! We drove everywhere as managed to park easily in nearby villages - we found off street parking in St Ives and Penzance. Visited Kynance Cove, Lizard, Lands End and the wonderful Minack theatre so an idea location to see the area. Property is off the A30, a busy road at times but it didn’t bother us at all. Views beautiful from the property. We found quite a few spiders in the property but not that surprised being surrounded by fields. The owners seem lovely and of course the welcome gifts went down well. Owners sent welcome messages and follow up messages to check we had everything we needed, a lovely touch. Happy holidaying in Cornwall!

Thank you for your mixed review. We are of course terribly disappointed to read it and apologise if you felt the property smelled damp and you thought it was tired. Thankfully yours is the only review of its kind for many years, however we do appreciate that it is the very end of the season and having been booked solid since January, there hasn’t been a single spare day to touch up or do any maintenance what so ever. This will be addressed over the Winter and as far as spiders are concerned, it’s approaching Autumn and with the best will in the world even houses in built up areas don’t escape them, let alone properties like ours surrounded by fields. The minute the patio doors are open, in they trot! We appreciate that you didn’t enjoy the best weather during your stay and there were many rainy days which may have tarnished your visit somewhat, but we sincerely hope that when you visit Cornwall again the weather is kinder to you. All the best, Julie & Michael.

Great location

We stayed for a week and went out every day as the location was brilliant for accessing numerous places of interest. We went to Minack Theatre, Porthcurno beach, Kynance Cove, Lizard, Lands End / airport to visit Isles of Scilly via Skyplane. St Michael’s Mount, Marazion plus lots more ! We also went to Paradise Park as our daughter had a red panda experience booked which was amazing. I think the lodge must have been fabulous some years ago but whilst comfortable it just seemed to lack that looked after tender loving care. The bench outside at the front needs jet washing as it has all sorts growing on it and so we didn’t sit out there. The bed in the large bedroom maybe could do with a new mattress now and black out blinds at the windows would really help as we didn’t sleep too good. Also a lick of paint throughout would really freshen it all up. Love that it has a washer and drier in the utility room and the kitchen/lounge/dining area worked well for four adults. I think it is best suited for a family of two adults and two younger children. We were okay for a week and knew that the second bedroom was small with single beds and our adult daughter and partner pushed them together and said they were comfortable. Having said all that I think the price paid we paid for the accommodation in the location it is situated and for July was fair and reasonable. The hosts were very nice even though we only met them in passing as we were out most of the time we stayed.

Julie and Michael were excellent hosts! Always easy to reach out to and have prepared the house in a very personal way. Quick to reply and always helpful. There's a private terrace in the back, very spacious rooms and a well equipped kitchen area. The house and more specifically the bedroom is located facing a busy road, as a light sleeper that was a problem. Due to closeby fields, insects and spiders frequently showed up inside the house. The hosts were very helpful about this and provided bug spray but if you're sensitive to these things, be prepared. There's room to park right infront and you reach St Ives in about 15 minutes, Penzance even less. The bus stop is very convenient as well.

Gastronomic delight! The far west of Cornwall is home to some of the finest restaurants in the UK and Penzance is reputed to be a Gastronomic haven for foodies to flock to and enjoy the finest fresh fish, shellfish and produce in the land.

The Old Schoolhouse holds a heartfelt, sentimental significance to the owner. It was the owner's childhood dream to live in such a property with panoramic views and no neighbours peering into the garden watching what you're doing!! Having visited West Cornwall, specifically St Ives, twice a year every year as a child, after losing both her parents unexpectedly, Julie took the tragedy and turned it into a positive. Not wanting to be right in the heart of St Ives with all the push and shove in high season, The Old Schoolhouse is comfortably on the outskirts and on the bus route right outside the house to pop in & out without the hassle of traffic & parking. Perfect location with a spectacular beach just at the end of the road in either direction - what's not to love?!

Hufflepuff Lodge, named so by her little girl Jennifer, enables visitors to come and enjoy the absolutely stunning big sky views all around and marvel at the landscape as it changes from countryside views to the left and costal views to the right. It combines the best of both worlds yet is on a 'proper' road not up a hair raising narrow lane, with very easy access to several big supermarkets, a huge M&S, Boots and NEXT within striking distance plus all the quirky independently owned boutiques, galleries and artisan food sellers of St Ives and Penzance. Dominoes & various other takeaways, deliver too - the kids are happy!!

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

The views and highly convenient location are exceptional. Hufflepuff Lodge at the brow of the hill in Whitecross, just on the outskirts of St Ives and the views across open countryside, awash with yellow in the Spring with flowering daffodils, are breathtaking. Look to the right and you're looking at the Sea and the top of St Michael's mount, fantastic lit up at night. Behind the property are gorgeous country walks and a footpath route that takes you across to the back of St Ives. There is a high point a short walk behind us called Trencrom Hill, from where, on a clear day, you can actually see all 3 coastlines! The views are truly magnificent and the convenience of location second to none. The beach is literally just at the bottom of the road in either direction, turn left from Hufflepuff Lodge and within minutes you're in Hayle or St Ives, turn right and you're on Marazion beach (owner's favourite) where its great fun to take a disposable BBQ down in the evenings and have a BBQ watching the sunset with a glass of something nice in your hand...
