Self-contained luxury lodge and pods in a tranquil waterside setting close to Falmouth and the River Helford

Opened in 2013, Trecombe Lakes is one of Cornwall's loveliest glampsites. Secreted in a tranquil waterside spot near the charming village of Constantine, this idyllic setting is perfect for a hassle-free Cornish break.

The six pods which comprise the glamping lodgings are perfect for reluctant tent campers. Somehow managing to be both cosy and airy, the fully insulated pods are kitted out with comfy beds (one double and a couple of singles) and linen so all you need do is bring yourself and an appetite for exploring this magical corner of south-west England. There's even a cute little kitchenette so you can cook up a storm using some of the fine Cornish produce on offer (be sure to ask about their special breakfast hampers) and an en-suite toilet and shower room inside each pod.        

The newest addition to Trecombe Lakes is the super luxurious woodland lodge. More treehouse than cabin, this hi-spec abode sleeps up to six and comes brimming with all mod cons including underfloor heating and stylish interiors. There's a wood-fired Swedish hot tub on the veranda, with gorgeous views of the surrounding woodland and lakes. 

Kids will love exploring the nine acres of woodland and the play area with climbing wall, treehouse, nets and rope swings. The centrepiece of the site though is the eponymous lake (conscientiously fenced off from the play area). Should you tire of the innumerable places to visit offsite (including the path of the nearby Helford River), jump in one of the complimentary rowing boats for a peaceful paddle on the water, before lounging back on your decking with a beer and a barbie on the go. Pure bliss.

Slightly larger and more modern in design, our new modular holiday home has been built with style, comfort and strong green credentials. The new lodges will be nestled in around the lakes and with the environment in mind, will be raised off the ground on stilts so as not to impact our woodland and wetland floor. With a natural, stylish interior made from premium birch, the lodges can sleep up to six people. There is one double bedroom, a cozy mezzanine sleeping area and a sofa bed as well as a beautiful handmade kitchen and neat toilet and shower room. All our accommodation can enjoy free wifi in our communal spaces. Each lodge includes under floor heating, a log burner and for that extra bit of luxury there is a stunning contemporary Swedish hot bath on the large decking area outside.

Trecombe Lakes is just five miles from the historic and vibrant town of Falmouth with its stunning beaches, quirky shops and great restaurants. Close by is the beautiful Helford river boasting ancient woodlands, hidden beaches, quaint pubs and the renowned valley gardens of Glendurgan and Trebah. Further afield are St Michael's Mount, The Eden Project and the surfing beaches of the North Coast. Unlike any other camping pods where you have to bring your own gear we have ensured ours are kitted out to a really high standard with everything you might need for a unique indoor/outdoor experience. Our pods are made with highly insulated sustainable material with double glazed windows and an electric heater, they have been designed to be warm and cosy in the winter while keeping temperatures cooler in the summer. We have fitted each pod with a little kitchen equipped with a range of utensils, electric hob, oven, fridge and small freezer. You also have a neat little en-suite shower room with sink and toilet, bathroom towels are also provided (2 bath and 2 hand towels). There is also a double bed and two single beds all with bedding and linen provided. Outside you have your private decking area with seating, Webber BBQ, and your very own fire pit where open fires and toasting marshmallow are obligatory! A woodland play area with an upturned boat, climbing wall, tree house, climbing nets and rope swings should help keep the younger ones busy. For peace of mind the woodland play area and pods are fenced off from the lakes and are only accessible through a wooden gate. We also have a communal lodge house which has a large fridge, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a TV link to our barn owl, bat and bird box cameras as well as books, games, dvd's and general information that all our guests are welcome to enjoy. Pre order our tasty Cornish Cream Tea or our delicious locally sourced breakfast hamper and we will have it ready and waiting for you when you arrive at your Pod!

    We spend the weekend at Trecombe land for my husband's birthday and it was so incredibly amazing for us. The pod was spotless and had everything we needed. It was very cosy and warm and the grounds were kept immaculate! Amazing 👏

    Camped at Lakeside Lodge, Oct 2022.

    Recommends

    We had a lovely relaxing break in one of the lodges at Trecombe. The campsite is in a great location and the lodge itself was super comfortable and well kitted out. We loved exploring around the area and returning to the lodge to enjoy the wood burner in the evening. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.
