“The lodge was lovely and had everything we required.”

Quiet and peaceful location, amazing food at the manor and a good base to explore the area by car. Fowey itself is quiant with good restuarants, a few shops and a couple of beaches. Make sure to book restuarants and tickets to places in advance in peak season :0)

“The location and grounds are fantastic, as is the access to the hotel facilities.”

The layout of the lodge is great. The lodge was not completely clean or dust free. The decor, bathrooms and furnishings are tired and dated. Corkscrew needed! The Terrace is lovely but the garden furniture needs renovating. With the above improvements it would be an idyllic holiday spot.

“We had a great time at castaway lodge.”

“Lodge was comfortable but could do with some touch ups on paintwork etc.”

Hotel grounds were beautiful. I had to research and organise time in the pool etc beforehand due to COVID. No information was available on the Skykes cottage website. If we had just arrived and tried to book anything we would have very disappointed as there would have been no availability. Its hard to judge if its value for money due to the current situation!

“Castaway Lodge exceeded our expectations.”

We have stayed in other lodges at this facility before but the position and quietness of this lodge was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & will definitely consider staying again in the future, please pass our thanks onto the owners. One slight observation is that the interior paint work could do with freshening up in places before it gets too scruffy and possibly attracts negative feedback.

“Needs cleaning properly.”

Remotes for tv only partially work! Sun umbrella broken. Needs shower non slip mat. Games broken or bits missing. All dining Chairs want recovering, and cushions want washing, settees grubby! Lovely surround sound on dvd. Excellent location. WiFi doesn't work!!!!

“Everything that was described on Sykes was what we got.”

Easy,straight forward booking . No problems. Beautiful part of the country and central to main tourist hotspots. Will stay again.

Mr Sales June 2019

“Great location and fantastic views within easy reach of Fowey and St Austell.”

Lodge was very well equipped and very comfortable. We would suggest that refuge is collected on a more regular basis as the small bin outside was full when we arrived and had not been emptied by the time we left a week later! We would also suggest that you advise clients that it is lodge number 505 as we had to go to the main house to find out where it was located.

Mr Bristow May 2019

“The rubbish bin outside the front door had not been emptied during our week and during at least the previous week and probably even longer This gives a very bad impression on arrival and during our stay we tidied up after the birds who picked out litter from the overflowing bin.”

We would have liked a sun umbrella as there was only the stand as presumably the umbrella had broken. This meant that sitting outside in the glorious weather was just too hot, denying us that pleasure. What a shame. Other than that we liked the lodge very much and the hotel staff were most welcoming and pleasant.

“Second time at the fowey lodges.”

Brilliant spacious apartment. Great facilities for toddler-play area, rabbits and swimming pool.

“The Lodge was in a great location offering a very restful New Year Break.”

Unfortunately there was very little information supplied in the Lodge regarding the closure of the bar and pool facilities. It was slightly annoying as we intended to eat in the bar on the last evening. It seemed that only members of CLC were informed of this and also of the waste collection that had not been undertaken for our week and indeed the week previous. This to me was not acceptable as we ended up clearing up for the owner from the Christmas week! No maid service was offered either.We have stayed and paid the amount previously in many lodges and this is the first time that no such service has been provided or offered. The Hot water did not last for four showers and the towels did not get changed all week. We used the leisure facilities on most days to have a warm shower.There was also no Pool towels provided as was in all the CLC acccomodation. This was not detailed in the very basic information provided in the lodge or in our booking .Having said all that we did enjoy the stay in the lovely setting . It was very peaceful and a great Party Night was offered on the New Years Eve. The food and bar was superb . The Leisure facilities are very good although the gym is a little cosy. We will be returning to Trenython Manor again.

Mr Orriss July 2018

“The accomodation was excellent - well positioned on a very quiet site.”

The lodge was well furnished and extremely comfortable. The access to the gym and spa at the hotel site was a bonus. The food in the hotel was excellent and well priced.

- Mr Orriss, July 2018
Mr Wood June 2018

“The restaurant at the Manor house was of a very high standard.”

The chef is to be commended. Having a regular bus service to Fowey outside the main entrance to the estate was a bonus, as driving to Fowey down the narrow lanes is a nightmare and parking is difficult.

“Excellent holiday property in these quiet country house hotel grounds.”

Very well appointed lodge type property with hotel standard bathrooms and fittings throughout. Bed linen and towels also new and hotel quality. Preparation was excellent, extremely clean, all basics provided (toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, bin bags, etc) flowers and ingredients for a Cornish cream tea awaiting us. The overall impression on arrival is very impressive. The lodge is comfortable, one double and one twin bedroom, both with bathrooms with bath and showers. Well equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, dishwasher. The hotel amenities are very good, the smallish indoor pool and gym are welcome, as is the opportunity to dine at the hotel, if required. We didn’t so can’t comment on the food. Only one or two tiny niggles, hardly worth mentioning, but for the sake of the owners who might want to address them...it’s misleading in the description to say the lodge has a sea view. There is a glimpse of the sea in the far distance between the two roofs of the lodges in front of this one. The surrounding gardens however are delightful and well maintained and provide a calm and attractive setting for the lodges. There is no free WiFi provided in the lodge, unless you sign up with the hotel at £10 for the week. These days free WiFi should always be included, it’s just a hassle to have to arrange it, and it took us two days to realise this too, the information about it being buried in the information booklet. The microwave has partly given up the ghost, the turntable doesn’t turn anymore. None of these issues however detracts from this lodge providing a perfect base for exploring the area, and it does so with some considerable style. It is ideal accommodation for four people, comfortable, clean and well equipped. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

“Fabulous place in fabulous location.”

Great that we could use the hotel facilities. Would recommend a manual to guide on how to use things, inventory of stuff ( took me a week to find the washing line!) and where light switches are, how to Work heating etc- rather than just providing manuals. No one wants to spend their holiday reading those!!

Mrs Swindells April 2018

“Castaway Lodge was a very comfortable, clean, modern and peaceful accommodation.”

The staff at Trenython Manor were friendly and professional. Relaxed bar area, good food available and the treatments that we received in the spa were super. Gym and pool are very small but adequate. Great location - 3 miles in to Fowey. Not suitable for walking due to lack of footpath so a car is needed for transport or bike (but be aware that the roads are narrow, steep and fast moving). A great holiday and we would love to stay there again.

Families, friends and couples can enjoy both a restful and recreational break with onsite facilities including an indoor heated pool, Spa (charges apply for Spa treatments), hi-tech gym, a fine dining restaurant/bar and kitchen garden.

The woodland adventure play area and indoor playroom will guarantee to keep the children happy whatever the weather.

The glorious Cornish Riviera coastline has a bounty of beaches to explore within a short drive.

Three miles away, Fowey is a perfectly picturesque haven favored by the yacht-set and host to Regatta Week and the Daphne du Maurier Festival.

Excellent restaurants are aplenty and art galleries, boutiques and traditional inns are found dotted along the cobbled lanes and around the pretty harbour and estuary.

Par Sands is popular with swimmers and families with its shallow waters at low tide and Readymoney Cove has a small sheltered sandy beach.

Walkers will love a ramble around Castaway Lodge's countryside setting and the coastal footpath promises to deliver the most stunning sea views.

Castaway Lodge has a spacious, contemporary interior with a bright and comfortable open-plan living room with dining area - a great social space with doors opening onto the enclosed and private decked patio.

Here you can relax in the birdsong with a book, sunshine brunch or sky-gazer tipple, or make full use of the shared grounds, all set against the country backdrop with distant ocean vista.

The kitchen has all a cook needs - if you can resist the Manor's restaurant on the terrace or nearby coastal eateries!

With the restful bedrooms and chic bathrooms, Castaway Lodge is a holiday homestay you'll want to return to again and again.

About the location

FOWEY

Lostwithiel 8 miles; Polperro 8 miles

This small town and civil parish lies at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall. The estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour, which enabled the town to become an important trading centre. There is a wealth of things to see and do in and around the harbour. Whether you enjoy getting out on the water, playing golf or finding out more about the history of the area, you are sure to find something to suit the whole family. Harbour cruises leave the Town Quay regularly in season giving you a superb view of the town, but for the more adventurous, rent your own self-drive boat, kayak or paddle board and explore the waters for yourselves! The town is steeped in history, so why not join a guided tour of either Fowey or Polruan? You can even join an owl experience, play golf, go horse riding or pursue your artistic talents with pottery or painting courses. There is the aquarium, museum and St Catherine's Castle, as well as Readymoney Cove, all waiting to be explored. If you get peckish, or fancy something thirst quenching along the way, there is a plethora of pubs, inns, cafes and restaurants to choose. Whenever you plan to visit, keep a look out for the festivals, fairs, markets and theatre performances on throughout the year. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Discover them all from this fantastic base!

Note: Check in time for this property is 6pm.

Note: Trenython Manor Hotel will reopen on the 11th of July 2020. In line with current Government guidelines, the communal swimming pool and shared on-site facilities and leisure area cannot currently be used. This will be reviewed regularly in accordance with Government advice. Trenython Manor hotel will be offering an extensive take away menu during this time.
