A successful lifestyle business with great scope set in 9 acres of picturesque lakes and woodland close to the South coast. 7 Glamping pods. 3 contemporary lodges. Communal facility building. Consent for a further 3 lodges. Fabulous opportunity.

The Property - Extending to some nine acres in total, Trecombe Lakes is an idyllic lifestyle business established by the Vendors who had a vision to create a luxury glamping and lodge experience in this most tranquil of locations.

Centred around a series of picturesque lakes, this successful business now comprises seven glamping pods that each sleep four to five people and are cleverly designed with a kitchen, shower room and two sleeping areas. Fully insulated and double-glazed, these attractive pods have been supplied by South West Log Cabins and are known as Camping Snugs.

More recently, two striking contemporary holiday lodges have been erected. Designed by Ecospace of London, these quality lodges are of SIPs construction clad in red cedar. They feature a double bedroom, mezzanine sleeping area and a handmade kitchen together with underfloor heating and, as a touch of luxury, a contemporary Swedish hot tub bath on a large decking area.

The vendors also intend to erect a further lodge, this will be ready for business by Easter 2023 and is included in the purchase. Planning Consent under reference no. PA16/10683 exists for an additional three similar lodges, a fabulous opportunity to further extend the profitability.

The glamping experience is further enhanced with a lodge house which provides a communal area for guests, together with a laundry house and equipment room.

Situation - Trecombe Lakes is situated in a glorious rural position between Falmouth and the tranquil waters of the Helford River.

Within 1.5 miles is the pretty village of Mawnan Smith which provides a wide range of local amenities. One of the closest beaches is a Maenporth, complete with café and a range of water sports including kayaking and paddle-boarding.

The area is also particularly well-known for its fine day sailing waters and there are moorings in the Fal Estuary and Helford River plus marinas in Falmouth and Mylor. Also within easy reach are Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens.

Falmouth, with its bustling university and harbour, provides extensive choice of attractions including the National Maritime Museum together with an exciting range of shops, restaurants, bars and galleries.

The Grounds - Trecombe Lakes is approached to a car park and from here pathways lead through the well maintained lawned grounds to the camping pods.

Beyond the pods is a series of attractive lakes around which pathways meander through a natural woodland environment. It is within this area that the additional lodges are planned. We understand that the lakes are naturally stocked with a number of fish including Carp, Roach, Rudd and Bream. Again, offering further potential for those who wish to consider the coarse fishing.

The Business - Established in 2013 with just four pods, the site has now been developed to the current nine units of accommodation and is run by a husband and wife team with assistance from other individuals and companies. This is a personal choice and it is considered that an incoming purchaser may wish to extend their involvement.

The holiday experience is promoted through the Vendors' own website together with Booking.com, Hipcamp, Tripadvisor and Airbnb. The enterprise now enjoys excellent levels of business and presents a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a lifestyle choice in this incredibly sought after area of Cornwall. Accounts can be made available to interested parties after viewing.
