Escape to this magical shepherd’s hut near Bodmin Moor in Cornwall and spend time with your loved one in the most beautiful surroundings. Nestled amid woodland and enveloped by a carpet of wildflowers, this special hideaway sleeps two people, making it the perfect romantic retreat. Ideal for walkers and dog lovers, spend days roaming the moorland, two happy hounds in tow, then return for evenings bubbling in the hot tub or snuggling around the fire pit.
Perched at the top of a small incline on the owner’s grounds, this exquisite shepherd’s hut enjoys complete privacy. A few steps lead up to a bright and welcoming interior filled with reclaimed treasures and bold colours and patterns. Snuggle on the sofa to watch TV or potter in the bijou kitchen to rustle up tasty meals. For a special treat, you can arrange for the owner, a trained chef, to bring you dinner for an additional fee. The magic continues outside. Savour a morning cuppa at the patio table, explore the woodland trail to a bench by a stream and watch the stars while sipping something chilled and firing up the hot tub or lighting the fire pit. A cosy double bed invites a refreshing night’s sleep, while a full-size shower room with a flushing WC takes care of all practicalities.
Step out your front door to enjoy woodland walks and observe birds and other wildlife in the woods, or venture into the ancient market town of Launceston (2 miles). Here, you’ll find a Norman castle and a narrow-gauge steam railway. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Bodmin Moor (6 miles) boasts windswept landscapes and archaeological treasures. Alternatively step into a world of myth and legend with a trip to Tintagel (18 miles), the birthplace of the legendary King Arthur.
