More baby fish have arrived!

On Sunday, a rather rainy and gloomy day, Chris and John returned with yet more baby fish ( 194 of them to be exact! ), to bring on. (Some were surprisingly larger than expected) This brings the total to nearly 300. They brought a feeding station with them, which will soon be installed the Lodge side of the lake, so our guests will be able to see the fish feeding. As they grow, they will have a positive effect on the overall eco balance of the water, and will provide yet another point of interest in this wonderful natural habitat.

By the way, our calendar is filling up fast, so if you want to book a break, please go to our Rates and Availability page on our website.
DON'T FORGET - DOGS STAY FREE IN MARCH (only when booking via the website - see the Special Offers page)

Spring comes early to Cornwall and there's lots to do in the garden in preparation. Millie dog is supervising our work clearing the dead vegetation away from the banks of the lake. We do this every year - which is a huge task - but well worth it as we will have the most lovely display of daffodils, narcissi and bluebells all around the edge of the lake.

And they won't be long!

March is the ideal time to come and see this magnificent display at Polgwedhen.

Breaks of a minimum of 3 nights are available and up to two dogs stay free during the month of March when booking via our website;

(When using the online booking form don't tick the dog boxes but please let us know if you will be bringing your pooch/es so we can ensure everything is in place ready for their stay)

This is wonderful Bella, a border terrier, who came to stay in the Lodge with her lovely owner, Julia. Bella is pictured with Gemma who helps out with the lodge and gardens; she took the opportunity for a quick cuddle before Julia and Bella left to go home!

Julia told us that Bella has loved sitting on the veranda each evening, surveying her surroundings, and taking sniffaris around the lake.

We all look forward to seeing them again should they return next year.

Truro Christmas Market is in full swing now we are in the final lead up to Christmas. This is the largest Christmas market in Cornwall, featuring a variety of locally made goods, crafts, food and drink, all presented in attractive, wooden cabins on Lemon Quay.

The atmosphere is really buzzy this year, and we think busier than normal, and we wish the stall holders every success.

You can see the Cathedral here as a majestic backdrop where, as always, there are lots of Christmas events taking place.

After storm Darragh at the weekend we have been out to survey the damage.

Fortunately, we didn't lose any very big trees. However, sadly we have lost a mature camellia, already in flower, and a beautiful evergreen winter scented tree, a Sarcococca (Christmas Box). This was a mature tree, and it was always a delight to walk past it on a still, winter's evening, as it gives off the most amazing perfume.

Gladly, we have another Sacococco so we will be taking cuttings from it!

We hope you were all ok in the storm.

Polgwedhen is very pleased to welcome some new arrivals to the lake. We are acting as a 'nursery' for about 200 mirror, common, ghost and grass carp, with a few tench and roach added to the mix. The first batch of 70-80 fish arrived last Sunday and here is Chris and family introducing them to the water.

Our guests in the Lodge, Deb and Conrad, witnessed the occasion and everybody is excited about this new venture!

The garden is settling down for the winter now, and a lot of plants are dying back. We have shown pictures on our page of the amazing gunnera plants on the water's edge as they developed throughout the year from their first shoots in the Spring, through to the development of their enormous Summer leaves. Now they are dying back and will go down to almost nothing. All that will be left is the corms, and we will be wrapping these up for the winter, as they are not frost tolerant. - their own dead leaves make a good covering. In March/April they will spring up again, and the whole cycle will recommence.

See the pictures of their development on our website: www.polgwedhenlodge.co.uk

Wild Cornwall! This is what you can see in Autumn and Winter. Video taken at Wheal Coates, St. Agnes Head, just a 10/15 minute drive from Polgwedhen Lodge. It was a very blustery day, and I couldn't keep the camera still! I have seen this countless times, but it is always impressive and awe-inspiring.

There is still some availability in November and December. Check the Rates and Availability page on our website, and come and see it for yourself :

The sea around the Cornish coastline during a storm can be a tremendous and exhilarating experience (at a safe distance!).

There are some well known spots that are worth visiting during the winter, especially when there's a wind blowing.

Wrap yourself up and take a trip to Portreath Beach (20min drive) or a little further to Sennen Cove, near Land's End, to view the Atlantic Ocean in all its might. Both have cosy pubs where you can warm up afterwards with a coffee or maybe a hot toddy!

You could then come back to Polgwedhen Lodge to put your feet up and snuggle down for the night.

There are still a few dates free this Autumn so go to our website to find out more: www.polgwedhenlodge.co.uk

The "Coming Home Trees" or "Nearly Home Trees" have become a famous sight on the Devon/Cornwall border and can be seen from the A30 at Lifton.

I took this picture on the way home from Birmingham recently and they're always a welcome sight after a long journey.

There are many stories around why the beech trees are situated there from helping shelter farm animals, marking a burial site to the most romantic legend of a farmer who planted them in a heart shape in memory of his late wife.

Whatever legends surrounded them from past decades, in modern day life they are an iconic landmark for drivers coming home or for those starting their holiday in Cornwall.

If you have never been to Cornwall and stayed at Polgwedhen Lodge, it's well worth a visit! If you have seen the trees and have any of your own anecdotes about them we would love to hear about them in the comments section.

Please go to our website for availability and rates: www.polgwedhenlodge.co.uk

Gail and Peter have been coming to stay at Polgwedhen Lodge for the past 4 years. The first thing they did on arrival this time is to present us with these lovely lilies; they know that these are our favourites!

Their two beautiful little dogs love running around in the gardens and must feel quite at home now.

Sadly they left this morning but we are already looking forward to seeing them all again.

Thank you again Gail and Peter for these stunning flowers!
