This lovely lodge at a glamping retreat near Looe is perfect for couples or a family seeking a peaceful hideaway surrounded by the scenic Cornish countryside. The property is an easy drive from the Cornish attractions, so pack buckets, spades and water sports kit, and within 5 miles you can be taking a dip in the sea at East Looe or Plaidy beaches. Pick up some famous Cornish ice cream or fish and chips and join a stretch of the magnificent South West Coast Path (4 miles).
Leave your cares behind when you step inside this welcoming, open-plan glamping hut, with its warming wood panelling, soft colour scheme and charming nods to the surrounding sea views. The first area is a compact kitchen featuring all the necessary appliances to make meal preparation a breeze. Relax on the comfortable sofa in the sitting area with a cuppa and enjoy the magnificent countryside views. There is a separate en-suite shower and WC. To rest, climb into the king-size bed at the far end of the hut, with ocean views. The sofa folds out into a children’s double bed. Outside, unwind on the lovely, raised decking with a picnic bench cleverly placed to make the most of the idyllic sea views. Relax on the sun lounger with a cool drink or gather around the fire pit for late-night chats and toast marshmallows. There is a private parking space for one car.
Golfers can shoot a round on the local course, which is only 2 miles away. For something a little more adventurous, take on the zip lines, giant swings and go-karting on offer at Adrenalin Quarry (4 miles). Otherwise, the city of Plymouth (18 miles), rich in maritime history and boasting an aquarium, makes for a great day out.
