Pengelly Retreat is the perfect escape for wild swimmers to come and experience swimming in our gorgeous large fresh water lake. Nestled in the countryside between Helston and Hayle we have 5 acres of private gardens, meadows and lakes fed by the stream that becomes a tributary of the River Hayle.
The gardens are usually private to residential guests staying at either the Boat House Cabin or Sail House Yurt, who get this beautiful watery landscape all to themselves! However on selected dates, we open up to small groups of wild swimmers to come and enjoy wild swimming and garden exploring on a Wild Swimming Retreat morning or afternoon session.
