About this property
Lovely Lodge in the woods overlooking Mounts Bay. Sleeps 6. Private parking.
Although this beautiful Lodge is in a very private location, nestled close by woods and overlooking sea and stream, it is very centrally placed to all west Cornwall's best tourist locations. The 3 bedrooms and private, safe location make it perfect for extended families, couples and groups of friends. We pride ourselves on keeping the Lodge clean and welcoming and are on hand should you need any help or information. Inside the Lodge is a lot of local information including recommendations for places to eat and visit, as well as where to get some wonderful local food such fresh fish straight from the boats in the little fishing port of Newlyn. The pretty village of Gulval is 5 minutes walk away with a good pub with a child friendly menu.
The Lodge is very suitable for children with a large walk in shower, lots of books and many games, including a table tennis set that goes on the large dining table, this proves very popular what ever the weather!In the single bedroom is a good selection of toys for younger children. We also provide a travel cot and high chair. The kitchen area is well equipped with a fridge freezer, microwave, electric cooker and washing machine. There is plenty of crockery, cutlery and utensils so you should have everything you need. It has verandas to the front and back and an enclosed garden with a barbecue. There is private parking for 3 cars. Although the Lodge is all on one level there are 8 wooden steps up to the front door.
As we are half way way up a steep hill it is probably best if you have your own transport although we have had several groups of visitors who have come by train and had a very successful stay using public transport, taxi and walking. It has panoramic sea views to the front but to the side and rear are woods and orchards giving it a rural feel, you can often hear owls at night.
Penzance is a 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk with its range of restaurants and nightlife. We are in a perfect position to explore the wonderful beaches of Penwith and the famous coast path which passes by St Michael's Mount through the idyllic fishing village of Mousehole onto Lamorna Cove before reaching the towering and dramatic granite cliffs of Lands End. If you enjoy surfing then we are 15 minutes away from Sennen, Hayle and St Ives. We are spoilt for choice when it comes to culture with the famous Tate gallery in St Ives and excellent galleries in Newlyn and Penzance. Penzance has it's own thriving theatre and cinema. Penwith also has more ancient sites than any where in the country with many stone circles, dolmens and fogous.

This is a really great place to stay, very comfortable and clean and close to everything you need. The best thing about it is the front terrace and the views, very relaxing place to sit early morning and evening.

A cosy & comfortable well-located lodge
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the lodge is very well located for exploring the local area and provides clean and comfortable accommodation which is a joy to return to, whether relaxing on one of the two outside decked spaces or inside in the comfy living areas.
The lodge is very well equipped, the views good from its elevated position and the hosts very welcoming and helpful - thoroughly recommended!

Lovely, spacious chalet, with sea view.
Really nice chalet, in a secluded position with a lovely view of the sea in the distance. Property was very welcoming, and Mandy the owner came to meet me. The property was well equipped with a lovely big shower, and comfortable beds in spacious rooms. My children enjoyed the selection of board games. Very peaceful, and wish we had been staying longer. We would stay here again.

Ah, thank you for your lovely review, we would love you to come again, all the best Mandy
Very nicely equipped and a great location. Relaxing in the country but a few minutes drive from the town.
The host’s are very friendly and are very accommodating . We would highly recommend this lodge as a home base for visiting Western Cornwall. As a bonus there are very friendly chickens close by that May provide blue shell eggs quite tasty. We should have booked a longer stay. Next time?
Sense of being with nature listening to owls outside at night. Wonderful view of the sea in the day and stars at night from the deck. Lots of privacy and space yet 10 minutes from the sea and shops if needed.
Plenty of space very clean all we needed was there.
Great location to our favourite beaches.
Wonderful hosts Mandy and Ronnie we will be back
Thank You xx

Hi Susan, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review, it really means a lot to us. It was lovely meeting your family and we would love to see you again. All the very best to you all
Lovely clean and homely lodge with great view. Warm and comfy lounge. Well equipped kitchen. Beds very comfortable. Excellent communication with Mandy the host. Lanes a little tight up to lodge especially if in a large vehicle, but its Cornwall and you expect that as part of its charm.

Thank you for your lovely review. I'm so glad you all had an enjoyable stay x
Ein sehr hübsches Ferienhaus. Es ist alles, wie beschrieben. Wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt.
Die Anfahrt wird von den Vermietern sehr gut beschrieben. Die letzten 100 Meter sind etwas steil und schmal. Es war jedoch nie ein Problem. Bei der Ankunft waren sogar frische Blumen und eine Flasche Cider auf dem Tisch. Der Kontakt zu den Vermietern war sehr nett. Sollten wir wieder einmal in der Gegend Urlaub machen, werden wir das Haus bestimmt wieder buchen. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Besten Dank!
Lodge inmitten von Natur mit tollem Blick aufs Meer
Die Lodge ist bestimmt schöner als viele Wohnungen von Familien.
Aus Holz, großzügig, gemütlich, sonnendurchflutet.
Jeder Blick aus einem Fenster ist schön, entweder aufs Meer oder ins Grüne. Balkone vorne und hinten, in der Küche viel Platz für Vorräte, wobei sie super ausgestattet ist.
Die Dusche ist groß, die Wassertemperatur ist regulierbar.
Es gibt viel Spielzeug und viele Gesellschaftsspiele, unsere Sachen haben wir gar nicht erst ausgepackt.
Echt toll!
Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt!
DANKE
We had a really lovely break away here.
Communication with Host was great.
Property was spotless and perfect layout for our family. Good location. Quiet and pretty lodge.
We had an amazing time at the lodge, it was the perfect getaway. Mandy is the perfect host, she really thought of absolutely everything. The directions were spot on, the lodge was cosy and warm, there were all sorts of books, games and entertainment. We loved it! If you want to stay anywhere near Penzance, then stay here!

Hi Alice, thank you so much for your lovely review, hopefully we will see you another time. Many best wishes Mandy
This lodge is spacious and very well equipped. A short drive to many popular places of interest. There is a sea view to the front. Only downside is driving is more or less a necessity.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Loved the views and tranqulity of the lodge, that comes at the price of being a little further out at the end of a bumpy track. Would have preferred the main bathroom window to have been at least half obscured. If the lodge had a hot tub it would be perfect!
Fantastic holiday property in beautiful location. Highly recommended and will visit again to appreciate Cornwall during Spring or Summer season

Wunderschön eingerichtetes Ferienhaus mit äußerst guter Ausstattung. Sehr schöne Lage etwas außerhalb im Grünen, mit kleinem Gartenanteil und Blick aufs Meer von der Terrasse. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Vermieterin.
Fazit: absolut empfehlenswert

Hi Mark,thank you for your lovely review. I'm so glad you had an enjoyable holiday. It was lovely meeting all your delightful family, have a safe journey home. Many best wishes to you all, Mandy.
We stayed at Helnoweth Lodge for 9 nights with our two children - the toys and games were a lovely touch. It’s a wonderful location
from which to explore Cornwall and we have missed the wonderful sea views - and the peacefulness!

About the host
Hosted by Mandy Reid
Hello, my name is Mandy and I live with my partner Ronnie on our 3 acre smallholding. My 4 grandchildren love coming to visit the chickens and rabbits and they are always enthusiastic helpers when it comes to harvesting the raspberries and strawberries! I've worked as a teaching assistant in the village school 5 minutes down the hill for the last 14 years so I feel very much part of the community. When I'm not in the garden, I enjoy cooking with the produce and most craft activities. Ronnie and I love walking on the glorious southwest footpath but I can't say we are dedicated walkers as our outings tend to be planned round plenty of stops for pub lunches and cream teas!
Why they chose this property
I feel we are in the perfect position, half way up a hill overlooking the sea but in the the country. Very rural but 5 minutes walk into a pretty village and 5 minutes drive into historic Penzance with all its facilities and amenities. We are centrally placed for St Ives and Lands End and we very close to St Michaels Mount and the beautiful secluded, coastal villages of Mousehole and Zennor .On a practical note, we are within easy reach of 3 supermarkets, 2 being a comfortable walking distance and all three less than 5 minutes drive. we are a 5 minute drive to the train station or a 20 minute walk.
What makes this property unique
West Cornwall is (in my opinion!) one of the most beautiful places you are likely to visit with its beautiful sandy coves, rugged coastline and soaring granite cliffs. Whether you enjoy walking, surfing or just lying on a glorious beach soaking up the sun and the view , you will be in heaven here! Inland offers some unique attractions too, with the wild moors full of stone circles and prehistoric iron age villages.
