Escape to the Cornish countryside in this handcrafted hexagonal cabin, set in a wildflower meadow near Lanreath, 6 miles from Looe. Sleeping two, it’s a distinctive hideaway for couples seeking a quieter pace, and solo travellers can make themselves at home here too.
Inside the cosy cabin, a king-size bed, small dining table and wood burner create a snug setting for evenings in. Your first basket of logs is included, so you can get the fire going when the temperature drops. A short walk across the meadow leads to a separate kitchen shack, equipped for preparing meals and stocked with a few basic provisions to help you settle in. Nearby, the bathroom combines reclaimed materials with handmade tiles and has a generous walk-in shower with plenty of hot water, plus a composting WC. Outside, several seating areas are dotted around the garden, including a bench and table for meals in the open air. The fire pit doubles as a BBQ, making it easy to cook supper beneath the night sky. A tucked-away turf seat and twinkling fairy lights add character after dark. Beyond the private garden, you’re welcome to wander through the surrounding field and five further meadows, with plenty of countryside to take in on a morning stroll. Private parking for one car completes this peaceful glamping stay.
Explore the secluded beaches of Lantic Bay and Lansallos (6 miles), where coastal paths wind down to sandy shores away from the crowds. For gentle riverside walks and picnics, head to Lerryn (5 miles), or browse the antique shops of historic Lostwithiel (7 miles) and cross its medieval bridge over the River Fowey. With East Cornwall’s lesser-known corners all around, there’s plenty to discover before returning to your rural retreat.
