The story behind how and why we came to buy Oakley Lodge is an important one because it shows you the journey we've been on. Buying and renovating Oakley Lodge was the final stages and when you come to stay you will see the beauty of the Lodge and its surroundings and will no doubt fall in love with it as we have but the story for us begins much earlier...

I grew up in the Southwest and although I moved away 40 years ago I often visited my family with my husband Michael (who's from Birmingham) and our children. We enjoyed lazy days rock pooling on the beach,crabbing at Appledore and of course eating lots of Hockings ice cream. All this I took for granted during my own wonderful childhood in the Southwest. As our grandchildren came along, our children (with us tagging along) have relived all those lovely holidays with their own children who are now also hooked on Hockings ice cream!
In 2007 Michael and I moved back to be with my elderly mother and set about looking around the peninsular for that perfect holiday home. We decided we wanted everyone to enjoy this amazing part of the world |

After searching for a suitable property for our holiday lodge we visited Penstowe Park in Cornwall and fell in love with the lodge last year. We decided to buy it and set about completely refurbishing it as it was very unloved. New kitchen, bathroom, flooring and decoration it has been hard work and taken a lot of time and effort, but the end result has been well worth it. We have tried to make sure attention to detail is second to none so that once you have stayed at Oakley Lodge you will wish to return again and again.
