General
- On the Fowey estuary with spectacular hill and valley views
- Award-winning amenities plus well-stocked shop
- Pub/waterfront café a short stroll away; kayaking and ferries close by
Simply messing about in boats is a breeze at Penmarlam Lodge Retreat, on the Fowey estuary in Cornwall.
Lucky enough to have your own boat? Launch it straight onto the sparkling waters from the slipway adjoining the site: it's owned by Fowey Harbour Commissioners who rent it out when required. More cabin boy/girl than captain? Test your sea legs by hiring a kayak nearby, or jump aboard one of the scenic ferries to Fowey and beyond.
Even if you're a confirmed landlubber, you’ll like the cut of this site's jib: the pitches are generous enough to give everyone a wide berth, and the facilities are most definitely shipshape; most guests wax lyrical about the clean and comfy amenities (as well as the 'very friendly' vibe, helpful owners, splendid location and all-round locale).
The park shop is full of kit and vittles at reasonable prices (also hailed as most excellent by chuffed guests), plus there's wifi (free for the first 20 minutes), immaculate showers and toilets, a laundry room, and an information centre to help you fathom out all the local attractions.
A good pub and a waterfront café are a stroll away so you can go with the flow when it comes to the catering too.

From the A38 westbound, at the roundabout after Liskeard, take the A390 towards St Austell.
At East Taphouse turn left onto the B3359 towards Looe/Polperro.
After 5 miles, turn right towards Polruan/Bodinnick. The park is on the right after a further 5 miles.
(These directions are on good two-lane roads - satnav is not recommended after the A390.)
Local attractions
Guests often give the car a few days off at Penmarlam Lodge Retreat and leg it around the alluring coastal paths instead: there are some gorgeous coves, cliffs and bays in the immediate vicinity. With excellent beaches within easy reach, this is prime territory for sea fishing trips and watersports of every description too.
Alternatively, it takes just a few minutes aboard the ferry from the neighbouring village of Bodinnick to reach the pretty town of Fowey, veritably buzzing during its annual regatta week in August, but a lively spot at any time of year with its cafés, pubs, shops and restaurants, and a popular family beach at Readymoney Cove.
The Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are the closest of the top attractions, both just a few miles away, but you’re really well placed at Penmarlam to reach all the top stuff of Cornwall: animal sanctuaries, historic homes and gardens, theme parks, castles, museums, and scenic towns such as Polperro and Looe.
