Welcome to Harvey’s Lodge – Your Woodland Retreat
Tucked away in a peaceful, tree-lined valley, in the beautiful and historical Cornish hamlet of Lowertown on the outskirts of Helston.
Harvey’s Lodge offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm and connection to nature.
This beautifully crafted open-plan wooden lodge invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and unwind in a tranquil setting just a whisper away from the gentle River Cober.
Step inside to a warm, light-filled space where nature and comfort meet.
The well-equipped kitchenette, complete with twin sink, microwave/convection oven, coffee machine, and all the essentials, makes preparing meals a pleasure—especially with a woodland view from the window and a convenient dining area nearby to enjoy your creations.
For moments of rest and relaxation, settle into the plush modular sofa with adjustable headrests, perfect for stretching out in front of the smart flat-screen TV with Freesat, or enjoying a quiet game from the selection of traditional wooden games thoughtfully provided on the coffee table.
Outside, your own little garden awaits—a peaceful, sun-drenched terrace with a table and chairs for al fresco dining, a small lawn, and a rattan sofa nestled beneath the trees.
This private sanctuary is a true suntrap, surrounded by nature’s soundtrack and just a stone’s throw from the river’s gentle flow, and only a short drive from every Cornish coastline.
Harvey’s Lodge is designed for year-round comfort: fully insulated to stay refreshingly cool in summer and warm and cosy through the colder months.
At the end of the day, retreat to the super king-size bed (which can also be configured as twin beds), and wake to rustic garden views.
The spacious en-suite wet room features a generous shower and a beautiful stained glass window—an unexpected touch of colour and charm.
