Sandy paths, wild dunes and beautiful beaches 🏝️

Just a few photos from our afternoon stroll in the dunes at Gwithian today. So stunning! And hardly a soul on the endless beaches. Just a few intrepid dog walkers out on the sands 🐶

This is one of the reasons we love winter in Cornwall, we get to enjoy all this lovely space and wild nature 🤍

All you need is your wellies and woollies and a cosy log burner to snuggle up next to post-winter beach walk! 🔥

We’ve got a bit of space still available this month is our very cosy Boat House Cabin if you fancy a Cornwall escape. And your dog is welcome to stay too at this time of year 🐶

Find available dates and best rates on the Pengelly Retreat website 🤍

☀️ A little piece of summer at Pengelly Retreat, Cornwall 💦

It’s feeling a bit chilly in Cornwall today, so I’ve been cosying up by the log burner 🔥 and looking at some summertime photos ☀️

I love this one of summer at the Boat House Cabin - so fun having a mess about on the lake on the paddle board 💦

Although the lake is a bit chillier at the moment some of our brave guests have still taken the plunge for a cold water swim ❄️ Cold water swimmers we salute you! And luckily you can always warm up by the cosy log burner afterwards 🔥

🍂 Enjoying the beautiful autumn woodlands near Pengelly Retreat 🍂

Perfect for a Sunday stroll, this peaceful ancient grove is just up the road from us. There’s something so restorative about walking under the trees and the autumn colours are magical 🍂

There’s even a rope swing to fly through the trees on! 🍂✨

Hanging out at the beach in - in November!!!

Can you believe that this was the weather at the beautiful Praa Sands yesterday - I know, the middle November and it was warm enough to swim in the sea! And I am definitely not a hardy cold-water swimmer…

It was even warm enough to bask in the sun at the beach cafe for a (well-deserved) cuppa & cake after ☀️😎

Admittedly the sea was 🥶 and .watty does have his bobble hat on in the photo. But what a treat! Aren’t we lucky to live in Cornwall. ?!

🥂Proudly clutching our Cornwall Tourism Awards for Pengelly Retreat at the fab ceremony this week 🥂

So lovely to pick up awards in both the Best Glamping and Wildlife Friendly categories. We really enjoyed chatting with friends new and old from the tourism industry! Thank you and sponsors for a wonderful evening, including our award sponsors and Tevi with

Also loved the starry photo background wall which makes everyone look like they’ve got a ready-brek glow around them in the official photos. How good is that?! I’m probably showing my age there with that reference…

Big well done to all the wonderful winners across . Check out the list at http://www.cornwalltourismawards.org.uk/

❤️ Bath-tub beauties! ❤️

We love a nice soak in a bath tub full of bubbles 🫧 so we had to make sure both our beautiful lakeside houses at Pengelly Retreat had baths too.

At the Sail House Yurt you’ll find bath tub no.1 in the en-suite bathroom while at the Boat House Cabin bath tub no. 2 comes with a rather fabulous lake view.

So you can either enjoy outdoor bath and indoor shower at the Cabin or outdoor shower and indoor bath at the Yurt. So lots of bath tub soaking, lake swimming and hot showering all round!

Which bath tub floats your boat!? 🛁 💕

🐈 Checking out the facilities at Pengelly Retreat, 🐈

We have 2 beautiful cats at Pengelly, a brother and sister, who do love to come and check out the lakeside cabin and yurt. They are basically living the dream with beautiful gardens to roam about in and nice cosy accommodation to return to!

You might well see them when you come and stay, they like a bit of fuss and a stroke - unless you’re coming with your dog in which case they reserve the right to not make an appearance 😂 🐶

Gorgeous Godrevy Beach… and lots of 🦭🦭🦭

How stunning is the coastline at Godrevy, this is one of my favourite walks locally, always blows away the cobwebs!

I went on a sunny day last week and saw so many seals resting on the beach, just beyond the lighthouse. They’re protected there as people can’t access this beach but can quietly view the wonderful seals from the cliff path above 🦭

I was also lucky to spot lots of seals close to the shore at one of the swimming beaches - they followed a kayaker, playing in the wake behind him.

There were also 2 seals together at the shoreline - maybe Mr & Mrs Seal, I’m not sure! Scroll to see the little reel I took of them 🦭💕

💕 Romantic hideaway by the lake 💕

I love these early evening shots of the Boat House Cabin at Pengelly Retreat, Cornwall. So serene 🩵

This is such a perfect bolt hole if you want to escape the busy of everyday life and have a few days of peaceful waterside tranquility. You can wild swim in the lake - yes it’s still warm enough! - and then snuggle up by the cosy log burner inside. This little cabin is built as a tiny house and is fully insulated, so it stays warm in winter and cool in summer 🔥

This time of year is so great for long walks in the countryside or on the beach, pub lunches and exploring the Cornish harbours at St Ives and Porthleven nearby ⚓️

We’re fully booked this month and just one October weekend still available. To snap up those last autumn break dates for you and a loved one head to the Pengelly Retreat website 🧡

🍂 Autumn sunshine & colours at Pengelly Retreat, Cornwall 🍂

We’re not quite into autumn yet but we’re definitely feeling the autumnal vibes here now September’s started - it feels much quieter out and about, perfect for beach and countryside walks & pub lunches.

I love this time of year and we get gorgeous colours in the gardens over the autumn months. These pics were actually taken last November - cats were obviously enjoying autumn too 😂🐾

We’re fully booked for this month, but we do still have a couple of gaps in October & November if you fancy a cosy autumn stay by the lake in the Boat House Cabin or Sail House Yurt - both with outdoor fire pits for marshmallow roasting, cosy log burners inside and a touch of underfloor heating to keep your toes warm too 🔥

Availability and bookings on the Pengelly Retreat website 🧡

What you see from your private sundeck at the Sail House Yurt at Pengelly Retreat in Cornwall… 💚

This dreamy view - yes! And also the perfect leg-swinging over the lake vantage point to watch the birdlife, butterflies and dragonflies on the water. And if you feel like it the ideal launching off point to explore the lake by SUP!

We have a bit of available space in this gorgeous luxury yurt in October - so come and enjoy the autumn loveliness by day and cosy up by the log burner as the evening draws in 🔥

A lakeside escape in Cornwall!

Looking to escape the stress of city living and get back to nature? We think we might have the perfect answer for you…

At our 2 lovely lakeside retreats you can chill out by the lake, mess about on the paddle board or just kick back on your private deck and watch the swallows dipping into the water.

Our cute lakeside cabin nestles among the willow trees at the western end of the Pengelly wild swimming lake, while the luxurious Sail House Yurt is hidden away between 2 lakes at the eastern side. Both are so peaceful, surrounded by nature and with all the touches of luxury you want for a perfect city escape.

We’re fully booked this month, there’s a teeny bit of space next month and some dates available in autumn. To book your lakeside escape in Cornwall dive into to the Pengelly Retreat website 💦

SUP Yoga on the Pengelly Retreat lake! 💦

This paddle board is normally for use of guests of the Sail House Yurt… but glorious sunshine and a 1 night gap between bookings gave us the chance for a mess about on the lake today.

I thought I’d leave the splits and crow pose on the SUP to Aggie while I perfected my mountain pose 😂

The cats think we’ve gone mad…. 🐈‍⬛

Cornish harbour loveliness at Porthleven yesterday 🩵

We love Porthleven for pottering by the harbour - there’s lots of shops, cafes and galleries to browse around and some stunning cliff walks either side. So easy to get to as well, just 15 mins drive from Pengelly Retreat or a beautiful walk through the Penrose Estate in nearby Helston.

It’s deservedly got a bit of a foodie reputation too with an annual food festival in spring and lots of restaurants to check out. Two of our favourites for a meal out are and both with views over the harbour. The takeaway fish & chips are the chippie in Shute Lane are also awesome. Oh and the fudge from the harbourside van opposite The Square bistro is the BEST. We give all our Pengelly Retreat guests a little bag of the vanilla fudge 😋
