Lodges at The Cornwall Hotel & Spa , St Austell, Cornwall| Take the Family

Set within 43 acres of parkland, the collection of luxury self-catering Woodland Holiday Homes occupy a secluded area of the grounds of The Cornwall Hotel, Spa and Estate. They are just a short drive from a selection of Cornwall beaches beaches and family-friendly attractions including The Eden Project, Heligan and scenic fishing villages such as Fowey and Charlestown.

The Woodland Holiday Homes are architect-designed, blending in with the natural surroudings. They are spacious, with 2 or 3 bedrooms and a large balcony with stunning views of the parkland. They're an ideal choice for family holidays and breaks in Cornwall, giving your family complete independence whilst having access to the facilities within and around the hotel.

The area is perfect for walking or a family cycle (bring your bikes). Also on-site is an adventure trail, play park and indoor games room. Then, for parents, there's the spa for a little 'me time'.
