About Helston Lodge

Helston Lodge is located right on the water’s edge at the head of Loe Pool, Cornwall’s largest natural lake. The former gate lodge commands an outstanding view over the Loe and its wooded banks. With its tastefully furnished interior, the Lodge makes a perfect lakeside stay for up to four people.

If you’re a keen birdwatcher, you’re in for a treat, with lots of rare species in the area. Otherwise, discover the stunning scenery on foot along one of the many footpaths and bridleways nearby.

Further afield, explore the estate at Godolphin, with its historic house and garden. The money raised from your stay at Helston Lodge helps us to maintain this beautiful estate for years to come.
