About this property
6 Southern Place is an elegant one-bedroom lodge set within tranquil Cornish countryside near Looe, Polperro and Fowey on the South Cornish coast. Tailored for couples seeking a romantic escape, it features a private hot tub, a sheltered setting where you won't be overlooked, and secluded decking space ideal for peaceful moments together. The moment you arrive, the pace of everyday life seems to drift away. Inside, the open-plan living space balances contemporary style with comfort. Generous seating invites you to unwind, whilst a well-appointed kitchen with quality appliances makes cooking at your own pace a pleasure. The double bedroom is a restful sanctuary, dressed in soft furnishings and quality linens, with doors that open directly onto the decking.
It's perfect for stepping out to breathe in the morning air or watch the light fade in the evening. The en-suite bathroom provides a spa-like retreat after days exploring, finished with fluffy towels and thoughtful touches. Outside, your private decking becomes an extension of your haven. The hot tub offers an evening ritual of warmth and starlight. Wrap yourself in a boutique robe and let the peaceful surroundings work their restorative magic. From your doorstep, South Cornwall unfolds with endless possibilities. The coast is moments away. Looe's bustling harbour and beaches, Polperro's narrow cobbled streets, and Fowey's independent cafés and galleries all reward leisurely exploration.
Inland, Bodmin Moor's windswept beauty offers striking contrast, with walking trails threading through woodland and open moorland. When you fancy dining out, the Old Mill Bar and Restaurant at Stonerush Lakes is a short drive, with wood-fired pizzas and handcrafted cocktails with waterside views. An attentive onsite team is on hand throughout your stay, and gentle walking paths begin directly from the lodge. At 6 Southern Place, you'll find everything needed for a deeply restorative break, seclusion, comfort, and the best of Cornwall's character within easy reach.
Dobwalls, a small settlement near Liskeard, Bodmin Moor, and the stunning north and south Cornish beaches, is bordered by farms and woods. The lovely fishing harbours of Looe, Fowey, and Polperro are 15 miles south, while Padstow and the surfing beach at Polzeath are a pleasant drive on the North Coast.

Jo
The house was immaculate and well looked after. The hot tub was a favourite of our trip and, due to the location of it on the property, was very private and hidden. The bed was comfortable and there was not any sleep missed. Lots of worktop space for cooking and a large fridge/freezer to store food. A problem we did run into was that when showering (even with the windows open) we kept setting off the fire alarm. In the end we had to have the patio doors open which did raise privacy issues and it wouldâve been nice if we could open the sky light to avoid this. The washing machine was a great touch when staying for a whole week however there was no clothes dryer or washing line to dry our washed clothes so we had to improvise with some string. A couple of improvements such as hooks by the hot tub for towels, a clothes dryer and a shower shelf to store shampoos would take the accommodation above and beyond. Having said that, it certainly didnât hinder our time there, we absolutely loved our stay and would definitely recommend to others and will be back to stay again.

Felt very secure and secluded despite being close to other lodges. Was also nice to see the hot tub guy pop round every morning doing maintenance, very reassuring that the cleanliness of the hot tubs was taken seriously and really put us at ease using it.

The setting and surroundings were just as advertised and we couldn't fault the service.
