Families that care about sustainability 

Where else can you find holiday homes that prove luxury and sustainability go hand-in-hand? All our Eco Lodges take sustainability very seriously, with the following features as standard across both 2 and 3 bedroom options: 

  • Efficient heating systems – with underfloor heating and ultra efficient air source heating, you can be sure of a cosy night in, even in the winter months. Plus the excellent level of insulation will ensure that you stay toasty but keep energy use down. 
  • Built to new home regulations – signed off by C3 Building Control Approved Inspectors, your holiday home has been built to all new environmental standards, giving you outstanding insulation and a lifetime of all-year-round enjoyment. 
  • Electric car charging facilities – as more and more of us convert to electric cars, we took the decision to provide  EV charge points, which are free for all our owners and holidaymakers to use and are powered solely by solar panels. 
  • Natural habitats – The Heligan development, where you will find our Eco Lodge holiday homes are bordered by natural habitats which are protected and managed by the Gwel an Mor team and provide you with stunning natural views.

Individuals purchasing for investment purposes

Both our Eco Lodges and our Lakeside Lodges are ideal for letting, but the more luxury you’ve invested in, the higher your letting return will be. So remember to consider this when buying your holiday home.
