5 Southern Place

5 Southern Place is an elegant countryside lodge set within a quiet, unspoilt corner of Cornwall, perfectly placed between the coastal charm of Looe and Polperro and the wild openness of Bodmin Moor. Designed for those who value space, privacy and a slower pace of living, it offers a generous and well-appointed base for everything from restorative breaks to memory-making stays with family and friends.

Arriving at the lodge, there is an immediate sense of calm, the setting is natural and unhurried, with tall trees, windswept wildflowers and the soft sound of a nearby stream creating a sense of place that is hard to leave behind. The lodge sits unoverlooked within its surroundings, giving the whole stay a feeling of genuine privacy.

Gentle trails lead directly from the front door, and a friendly onsite team is on hand during your stay. Step inside, and the sense of openness continues.

The living space invites you to settle in and stay awhile, an L-shaped sofa in soft blue hues, a woodburning stove casting quiet warmth on cooler evenings, and a well-appointed kitchen with sleek grey fixtures where mornings begin with freshly brewed coffee and evenings can unfold over unhurried meals. The dining area becomes a natural place for the group to reconnect, and on quieter evenings, a film after dinner can be equally enjoyed.

The three bedrooms are calm and considered, each dressed in hotel-quality linens, with bathrooms finished with fluffy towels and thoughtful toiletries. Outside, the decking extends your living space into the open air, where far-reaching views create a changing backdrop from first light to dusk.

Evenings are best spent in the hot tub, watching the sky deepen and the stars emerge, step out wrapped in one of the boutique bathrobes provided and let the warmth of the water and the quiet of the night air do the rest. The stillness that surrounds the lodge feels rare and restorative.
