  • "A second stay in just 2 months and like in August, we had a very comfortable and relaxing stay in the Lodge at Higher Dacre Farm, Polkerris."

    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.

  • "A wonderful and unexpected delight of the holiday, was a stay at Sycamore Lodge, in glorious countryside at Higher Dacre Farm, Porkellis."

    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!

    On arrival we were met by Meg who showed us round. We were greeted with a welcome pack including milk and treats for the dog. The property has been built, furnished and decorated to a high standard, it was spotlessly clean, comfortable, warm, very well equipped with plenty of towels and immaculate bed linen all of which were very good quality. The bed was very comfortable, the central heating and hot water were in our control and there is a log burner which was laid ready for lighting with plenty of fuel, if needed. Hosts were friendly and available if needed but were totally unobtrusive. Would highly recommend this holiday home!

    My only niggle was a lack of storage space for food in the kitchen. The owners, Meg & Anthony, were very friendly but not intrusive. I had a very interesting guided tour of the farm, and I was able to impart my farming knowledge I had gained by watching Clarkson's Farm, which I am sure Anthony appreciated. Great location for visiting all the attractions. I would highly recommend the local pub, The Star Inn.

    There was also a lovely surprise waiting for us, a bottle of wine, scones, jam and cream. The lodge was beautifully decorated with high quality furnishings and also a log burner. It is an ideal romantic lodge for two, although it is on a working farm, so there was some noise from the cows. We have been staying at various locations for over 20 years and this one we did enjoy for our short break. Falmouth and Penzance are also within easy reach of the Lodge.
