We had a great time at The Lodge. It has an amazing location with the beach just a short walk away. The beach itself is quiet, family friendly and brilliant for paddle boarding, something my 9 year old son has just discovered. We also loved the walk to Charlestown. The house itself is clean, well equipped and Martin was very responsive. All in all a brilliant holiday, thank you very much.

We have had a wonderful week at Porthpean Lodge. The house was very comfortable and in a picturesque location. We loved walking to the beach to swim and go rockpooling and the cafe was great too. We walked on the Coastal Path to Charlestown and had ice cream at the harbour. Other highlights included a visit to the Eden Project and a river cruise and dinner in beautiful Fowey. All three generations staying there had a great time and we hope to come back.

Really clean, comfortable house. Was a perfect location for spending time on the secluded sandy cove. Our children loved only being a short walk away from the beach & we took advantage of the easy route over the cliffs to Charlestown for some great lunches.

Lovely house in a great spot, just 2 Minute walk from a very nice beach. The house offers a great holiday feeling, two living room/sofa areas plus kitchen/ dining table. Would love to come again!

A perfect few days for our small family. Martin gave us a call the day before to make sure we had all the information required. The lodge was beautifully clean, in a beautiful location next to a stunning and quiet beach. Superb all round, we’ll definitely be back!

“Porthpean Lodge is sparkling clean and in a fantastic location: close to the beach and in a pretty little village. It's very close to some great attractions (Charlestown, Helligan, Lanhydrock, Sams on the beach) with the advantage of escaping to your own tranquil spot. P Nov 2020”

“Highly recommend Martin's beautiful seaside home. Beds are super comfy, lots of inside space for us all (family of 5), warm and cosy after a long day out and gorgeous bathroom products. A great beach to spot seals, rock pool and paddle. A great stay! D Oct 2020”

Lovely relaxing space on the southern coast 2 minute walk to beach and coastal path. DG Oct 2020
The Lodge is a great house in a fantastic location. Brilliant for exploring the surrounding areas, and only 5 minute walk to the beach, where if you are lucky you can be the only people and see Seals! Perfect accommodation for a week with 3 generations aged 3-73! KM Oct 2020
A fantastic cottage , exceptionally clean and comfortable and just a short walk from a quiet beach. The ideal location for exploring. Would highly recommend The Lodge. LL Sep 2020
Beautiful house in a beautiful location, just a couple of hundreds of meters from a lovely beach which is great for kids. We had a lovely stay and would absolutely recommend booking this cottage. Sep 2020
We had a lovely stay at The Lodge. We were 5 adults and a baby and had plenty of space and everything we could need for a comfortable stay. We particularly enjoyed the cream tea and the games! There is lots to do in the local area and great walking along the coastal path which is only a short walk from the house. We visited St Austell Brewery, Mevagissy, Charlestown and Fowey and had a good days walking to the pub in Pentawyn.
Great place, very clean, modern and really close to the beach. Loved our time in the Lodge and would highly recommend.
lovely and comfortable as well as bright and spacious. It has charming decor and was immaculately clean. The large dining table and kitchen with a dishwasher was great. There is parking for two which was handy for our group coming in separate cars.
Lovely house in great location short stroll to beach where we saw seals, not far for days out would definitely return.
Beautiful house in a great location, ideal for beach activities. Great walks starting from the gate (15/20 min walk to charlestown). The house is peaceful, beautifully arranged on the inside, beds were comfortable. Very clean. The perfect place to stay to recharge your batteries be it as a family with children or a group of adults.
Great house which is brilliantly clean, comfortable and smart. Excellent base for the local attractions of Eden and Heligan. Wi-Fi and Netflix service is a bonus and less than five minutes walk to the sea. With a teenager and a seven year old - everyone was happy! We had everything we could have needed and I would highly recommend the house and it’s location.
We had a wonderful stay at the Lodge - comfortable, clean and charming. We were 4 adults staying with plenty of space - especially thanks to the 2 separate seating areas and multiple bathrooms. The additional bunk bed room would be great for kids. The location of the cottage is fantastic with the beach just around the corner and Charlestown with its cafes and pubs a very pretty 20min cliff top walk away. Martin was a very generous host - he even gave us a guided tour of the gardens of his family’s beautiful adjoining property - Porthpean House. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!
Wonderful cottage with great amenities and great location. We look forward to booking again.
A fantastic stay in a wonderful location within easy walking distance of Porthpean Beach. We loved the stylish space, the high quality bed linen, the big kitchen table perfect for family feasts and listening to the sea crash on the shore at night, all set in the pretty grounds of Porthpean House. Fabulous.
The Lodge is wonderful. Such a lovely house, the location is perfect and the host was very welcoming. The decor is all brand new. There are two really nice sitting rooms (WiFi and the tv has Netflix), a well equipped modern kitchen with dining table, and a wet room on the ground floor. There are three bedrooms upstairs, one with ensuite, plus a family bathroom. The location is very close to a nice beach (five minutes walk, even with children in tow) and you can walk to Charlestown along the cliff top path in 20 minutes. Also, it is only 20 minutes drive from Fowey and other top spots. We were given a very warm welcome and made to feel at home. All in all, we would recommend The Lodge to anyone. We were a family of four and it was perfect for us.
The Lodge is a lovely place to stay. It’s a beautiful property with a sea view from the bedroom, conveniently located near the beach and great for children. We would highly recommend!
