The benefits to me of owning a lodge a Stonerush Lakes is a little difficult to put down into words, because for me, it is emotional. When I bought, I wasn’t initially attracted by the rental possibilities, this was somewhere that I wanted to spend time with friends and family, in order to recharge and kick back. Like many people, I live a busy life – but Cornwall has always been a place I have gravitated to when I needed some time out. Feels somehow ‘overseas’ yet at home, and now I am delighted to own a slice of my own happy place. What I love about Stonerush Lakes is that it feels more like a retreat, and definitely not a standard lodge site; it is as far away from ‘bucket and spade’ as it could be. It is left natural, but very tidy – and it is really green and relaxing… yet only 20 mins drive from the coast and a great location from where to discover much of Cornwall. I had wanted to buy for a long time, but I didn’t want to be one of those people from out of county that owned a second home for holiday letting, when it could be used for a local who really needed a place to live. So I am satisfied that my lodge is my sanctuary and a great investment, yet does no harm to anyone… win-win. Oh, two last points to make – everyone I have met is lovely, and stargazing from the terrace on a clear night is sublime!
