Locally handcrafted, this charming little shepherd’s hut on a family farm near Truro in rural Cornwall is a gem. It’s a glorious oasis of peace and quiet for your glamping in England, the perfect romantic hideaway, yet just a five minute drive to the nearest beach and a 10 minute drive to Truro. If you're in search of a unique and romantic holiday rental in Cornwall, then this is the perfect place to enjoy being off grid and marvel at the great outdoors.
The shepherd’s hut was locally handcrafted by Pumphrey and Weston and has glorious views over open countryside. The working farm where the hut is situated is located between Truro and Falmouth in a quiet valley. As unique stays in Cornwall go, it’s the perfect base from which to explore. What is more, there’s plenty to do locally without using your car - numerous walks directly from the farm leading to Looe beach, the Carrick Roads, Cowlands Creek, Point Quay, and not least the local pub, The Punchbowl and Ladle in Penelewey. Also on site is a small six van campsite and a detached converted barn which sleeps four people.
If you can drag yourself away from the peace and quiet of the farm there’s masses to do in the surrounding area. Looe Beach is a 5 minute drive, where you can go swimming, or hire a kayak or paddleboard. Explore Truro, Cornwall’s capital, with its impressive cathedral, boutique shops and a wide variety of places to eat and drink. Local cycle and footpaths abound, and the National Trust Trelissick Gardens are nearby. You can take a ferry to the Roseland Peninsula or over to Falmouth, you can learn to surf, explore St Michael’s Mount, or visit the Eden project near St Austell. The list is endless!
