First Impressions
From the moment we arrived, Trelay Holiday Park felt more like checking into a boutique countryside retreat than a traditional holiday park.
The reception team gave us a warm welcome before showing us where our accommodation was located.
One thing that really impressed us was the level of customer service. Shortly after we'd settled in, a member of staff came over to explain how everything worked, including the heating, hot tub and sauna.
It might sound like a small detail, but it immediately made the stay feel much more personal.
The Luxury Cornwall Hideaway sits within its own beautifully landscaped area of the park, giving it a peaceful and exclusive feel from the moment you arrive.
A Small, Peaceful Holiday Park
Before booking, it's important to understand what Trelay Holiday Park is - and what it isn't.
If you're expecting a large holiday resort with swimming pools, bars, restaurants and evening entertainment, this probably isn't the right choice.
Instead, Trelay is a relatively small, beautifully maintained holiday park that's perfect for guests looking to slow down and enjoy a quieter break.
There are no on-site restaurants, bars, swimming pools or entertainment venues.
For us, that was actually one of the biggest selling points.
Instead of busy clubhouses and noisy evenings, the park has a calm, relaxing atmosphere where you can truly unwind after a day exploring Cornwall.
If you're travelling with younger children, there is a children's play area on site, giving them somewhere to burn off some energy before heading back to the lodge.
For older children and teenagers, the nearby beaches, coastal towns and attractions provide plenty to keep everyone entertained.
We loved returning after a day out and simply relaxing in the hot tub while listening to the birds rather than loud evening entertainment.
If that's your idea of the perfect holiday, Trelay Holiday Park delivers exactly that.
The Private Wellness Garden
Without question, this is the standout feature.
As soon as you open the gate into your private outdoor space, it feels more like your own boutique spa than holiday accommodation.
The wellness garden includes:
Six-person hot tub
Outdoor sauna
Ice bucket shower
Seating area
Large gas barbecue
Outdoor dining table
Sun loungers
Private enclosed garden
We arrived on Friday afternoon in rain, but by Saturday and Sunday Cornwall was bathed in sunshine and we spent hours enjoying this outdoor space.
Having your own hot tub and sauna completely changes the experience and makes it feel much more luxurious than a standard holiday lodge.
Love the Look of the Wellness Garden?
This really is the feature that makes The Luxury Cornwall Hideaway stand out.

The modern open-plan kitchen at The Luxury Cornwall Hideaway is fully equipped for self-catering breaks, with a children's mezzanine sleeping area above the bedroom.
Inside the Lodge
Stepping inside, the first thing you'll notice is how modern everything feels.
The décor is contemporary, clean and finished to a high standard throughout.
One thing worth mentioning is that the accommodation is compact.
Trelay describe it that way themselves, and we'd agree.
Rather than a traditional large lodge, it feels more like a luxury pod that's been cleverly designed to maximise every bit of space.
For two people, it felt perfect.
If you're travelling as a family of six, just expect things to feel a little cosier indoors.
The accommodation includes:
Open-plan lounge
Large Smart TV
Fully equipped kitchen
Dining area
Double bedroom
Bathroom
Sofa bed
Children's mezzanine sleeping area
Although compact, it never felt cramped for the two of us.
Kitchen Facilities
The kitchen was better equipped than we expected.
Facilities include:
Four-ring induction hob
Full-size oven
Microwave
Toaster
Kettle
Fridge with small freezer compartment/shelf
Compact dishwasher
Cookware
Plates, bowls and glasses
Recycling facilities
We also appreciated the thoughtful welcome touches, including Cornish tea, Cornish coffee and fresh milk waiting in the fridge.
One tip if you're staying for several nights...
Bring a few extra dishwasher tablets, as only a couple are supplied.
Bedroom & Bathroom
The bedroom continues the same boutique feel as the rest of the accommodation.
You'll find:
Comfortable double bed
Large TV
Wardrobe
Towels
Robes
Slippers
Because of the layout, the bed is only accessible from one side, but after the first night we hardly noticed.
The bathroom is compact but modern with:
Rainfall shower
Handheld shower attachment
Toilet
Wash basin
Everything felt clean, fresh and well looked after.
Children's Mezzanine
One feature we really liked was the mezzanine sleeping area.
Accessed by ladder, it's designed primarily for children and almost creates a little den for younger guests.
Small adults could use it if necessary, but we'd definitely say it's better suited to kids.
Kids can also do stargazing with the fibre optic night sky in the ceiling - it’s the little touches that make Trelay Holiday Park in Cornwall so special.
Welcome Pack
Waiting for us inside was a welcome pack with snacks and drinks, alongside the complimentary milk, tea and coffee.
They're only small touches, but together they help create a much warmer welcome and reinforce the premium feel of the accommodation.
What's Nearby?
One of the biggest advantages of staying at The Luxury Cornwall Hideaway is its location.
While the park itself offers a peaceful retreat, you're only minutes away from some of South East Cornwall's best-loved destinations.
Whether you're looking for picturesque fishing villages, sandy beaches, coastal walks or family attractions, there's plenty to explore within a short drive.
Looe Harbour is just a 7-minute drive from Trelay Holiday Park and is well worth visiting during your stay.
Looe (Around 7 Minutes)
The charming fishing town of Looe is only around a 7-minute drive from Trelay Holiday Park.

You'll also find:
Traditional Cornish pubs
Fresh seafood restaurants
Boat trips
East Looe Beach
Independent gift shops
Ice cream parlours
It's exactly the sort of place you can visit several times during your stay and discover something new each time.
The picturesque fishing village of Polperro is just a 9-minute drive from Trelay Holiday Park and makes a fantastic day out during your stay.
Polperro (Around 9 Minutes)
Just 9 minutes away, Polperro is one of Cornwall's most photographed fishing villages.
Its narrow streets, whitewashed cottages and picturesque harbour make it feel like stepping back in time.
Take your time exploring the winding lanes, popping into local galleries and independent shops before enjoying spectacular coastal views.
It's easy to see why Polperro is such a popular destination.
Beautiful Beaches
If you're planning a beach holiday, you're spoiled for choice.
Some of the nearest beaches include:

Talland Bay
Seaton Beach
Whether you're looking to relax on the sand, enjoy a paddle or simply take in the coastal scenery, there's a beach nearby to suit everyone.
South West Coast Path
The South West Coast Path is also within easy reach.
Whether you're looking for a gentle stroll or a longer hike, you'll be rewarded with some of Cornwall's most spectacular coastal scenery.
The stretch between Looe and Polperro is particularly popular.
Eden Project (Around 31 Minutes)
One of Cornwall's most famous attractions, the Eden Project, is only around 31 minutes' drive from Trelay Holiday Park.
Its iconic biomes, beautiful gardens and year-round events make it an excellent day out for couples and families alike.
A Great Base for Exploring Cornwall
For us, Trelay Holiday Park strikes an excellent balance.
You can spend the day exploring Cornwall's coastline, beaches and attractions before returning to a peaceful holiday park where your own private hot tub and sauna are waiting.
That combination is difficult to beat.

The beautifully landscaped entrance welcomes guests to Trelay Holiday Park, just minutes from Looe and Polperro in South East Cornwall.
Is The Luxury Cornwall Hideaway Worth the Money?
We paid £881 for three nights in June 2026.
There's no getting away from the fact that it's more expensive than many standard holiday lodges.
However, we don't think this is trying to compete with standard holiday lodges.
Instead, it's offering something quite different.
You're paying for:
Your own private hot tub
Outdoor sauna
Private wellness garden
Spacious outdoor living area
High-quality accommodation
Peaceful surroundings
Excellent location close to Looe and Polperro
If your priority is simply getting the biggest accommodation possible, there are cheaper options available.
If you're looking for a relaxing luxury break where the outdoor space becomes part of the holiday experience, we think the price starts to make much more sense.
We also paid a small supplement for early check-in, allowing us to arrive at 2pm instead of 4pm, which gave us even more time to enjoy the facilities.
