Cornwall is the ideal destination for those seeking adventure, the great outdoors, a grand gastronomical scene and a peaceful trip to the bottom of England. Cornwall, situated as it is at the south of the UK, has a very distinct energy and atmosphere of its own. It’s the perfect place for free spirits, adrenaline junkies, foodies, animal and nature lovers, hikers, cyclists and those who are young at heart. The beauty of the area is legend – dramatic coastlines, a sea that’s a surfers paradise, verdant green villages and meandering moorland.
It's also a wonderful place to venture if you’re seeking cosy hibernation, thanks to its comforting interior options, a trip to the Eden project for example, or a peaceful night in curled up on the sofa with a good book. If you’ve had a strenuous year, Serenity Lodge is the ideal environment to let your stresses soar away.

A spacious lodge which sleeps 12, this is the ideal destination for a large gathering of friends or family seeking a peaceful escape or celebrating a special occasion. The lodge contains a whopping six baths, a luxurious outdoor hot tub and allows you to book a talented chef who is happy to prepare a special night of cocktails, canapes and dinner for guests. For those who prefer seafood, you can order pre-prepared lobster, or enjoy preparing your own BBQ outside and eating on the terrace with views of the lake.
The spacious and joyfully decorated living room is bright, warm and inviting. You could say it forms the hub of the home. It makes for a wonderful gathering point to luxuriate and enjoy time together. Open the doors to let in the light and enjoy the scenic view.

The bedrooms are a wonderful refuge after a day of exploring and decorated with harmonious bold colours. The various suites stretch across two floors. Some of them contain balconies and others jacuzzi baths. You may have to amicably agree as to who should get which room! The beds are kitted out with Egyptian cotton bedding and wonderfully soft pillows to help you drift off for a good night’s sleep.
