Located on a working farm in the South Cornish countryside near the coast, it's a great place to get a real feel for the great outdoors there, and to see the stars and planets overhead at night. Topped off with friendly hosts at the farm, it's a great holiday destination.

Rural location perfect for chilling out away from it all but within easy reach of most locations. Highly recommend.

We had been touring Cornwall for many weeks, looking to buy a home in the County. Staying in different holiday homes each week, in various places for the purpose, we experienced many types of accommodation. Sycamore Lodge is our favourite. From the open and warm greeting of Meg upon arrival, to the generous treats awaiting us in the Lodge, we had a wonderful and relaxing time there. The freshly cut flowers, sumptious Cornish cream tea, lovely wine and Doggie treats were all so welcome and appreciated. The lodge is perfectly equiped with everything required for a comfortable stay and is spotlessly clean. The company of beautiful cows in the neighbouring field, cute rabbits everywhere, foxes, swallows and owls completed the picture. A tip for your stay there. Step outside the lodge after dark, to witness the most amazing views of the Stars above!
