The Ultimate Family Escape: Why Woodland Lodges Are Perfect for Your Next Getaway

Finding the perfect family holiday can feel like an impossible task. You need somewhere that keeps the kids entertained, gives parents a chance to relax, and offers the flexibility to do things your own way—all without the stress of rigid schedules or crowded spaces.

That’s where Woodland Lodges at The Cornwall Hotel come in. Nestled in a private woodland setting, these stylish self-catering lodges provide the perfect combination of home comforts, luxury, and outdoor adventure. Whether you want action-packed days exploring Cornwall or a peaceful retreat where the whole family can unwind, Woodland Lodges offer the ultimate stress-free getaway.

Why Choose a Lodge Over a Hotel?

Hotels can be convenient, but when travelling with children, they often lack the space and flexibility needed for a truly relaxing break. A self-catering lodge offers a more practical, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for the whole family. Here’s why:

• More space to enjoy – Unlike a hotel room, where everyone is squeezed into the same space, a lodge provides separate bedrooms, a living area, and an outdoor terrace. Perfect for early risers, afternoon naps, and unwinding after a busy day.
• A home-from-home experience – With a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and comfortable furnishings, your lodge feels like a cosy home—only with the added luxury of hotel facilities nearby.
• Freedom to do things your way – No fixed meal times or packed communal areas—just the flexibility to eat, sleep, and explore at your own pace.
• Better value for families – Cooking some of your own meals saves money on dining out, and having access to a washing machine means packing lighter (a lifesaver with kids!).
• A connection with nature – Surrounded by beautiful woodlands, you’re never far from a family adventure. Open your doors each morning to fresh air, birdsong, and endless space for little ones to run free.

Designed with Families in Mind

From toddlers to teenagers, Woodland Lodges cater to all ages, making family holidays effortless. Here’s what makes them ideal for a getaway with children:

• Outdoor play areas – Let the kids burn off energy at the on-site playground while you enjoy a moment of peace.
• Safe and spacious surroundings – With woodland trails and open green spaces, children can explore in a secure, natural setting.
• Stylish yet practical interiors – Comfortable living spaces, modern kitchens, and family-friendly layouts ensure your lodge has everything you need for a stress-free stay.
• Exclusive access to hotel facilities – Enjoy the best of both worlds: the privacy of your own lodge with access to the hotel’s swimming pool, spa, fitness centre, and restaurant.

Family Adventures on Your Doorstep

A stay at Woodland Lodges puts you in the perfect location to explore Cornwall’s most exciting family-friendly attractions. Whether you’re discovering breathtaking landscapes, stepping back in time, or enjoying some good old-fashioned beach fun, there’s something for everyone.

• Charlestown Harbour – A historic port with tall ships and a fascinating maritime museum, perfect for a relaxed family day out.
• Adventure parks and wildlife sanctuaries – From thrilling rides at Flambards Theme Park to the rescued animals at Paradise Park, Cornwall is packed with exciting attractions to keep the kids entertained.

How to Make Your Family Getaway Stress-Free

Travelling with children doesn’t have to be stressful—here are a few simple tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable break:

1. Plan meals in advance – Stock up on essentials before you arrive so you can settle in without worrying about food shopping. Take advantage of your lodge’s fully equipped kitchen to enjoy relaxed family meals.
2. Pack for all weather – Cornwall is known for its unpredictable weather, so bring layers, waterproofs, and beach gear to be prepared for anything.
3. Bring home comforts – A few familiar toys, books, or games will help little ones settle in and make the lodge feel even more like home.
4. Make use of the lodge’s outdoor space – Whether it’s a morning coffee on the terrace or an evening barbecue, take full advantage of your private outdoor area.
5. Mix adventure with relaxation – Plan a balance of exciting days out and relaxed days at the lodge so everyone can recharge.
