1 Bed Lodge in St Austell

About this property

An enticing Cornish retreat for couples, this appealing shepherd’s hut is perfect for those wishing to holiday with their canine companions. Sleeping two guests, the one-bedroom glamping hideaway nestles in verdant grounds near Hornick, 4 miles from St Austell, and comes with access to an exercise paddock for pets. Spend time on the beach at Porthpean, 5.5 miles away, or Par Sands, 9 miles away, where there are no seasonal bans for waggy-tailed sea lovers. Follow a section of the South West Coast Path, perhaps attempting the picturesque 6.5-mile stretch from Porthpean to Mevagissy. Plan a day trip to the famous Eden Project, 6.5 miles away, the Pinetum Gardens, 5 miles away, or The Lost Gardens of Heligan, 4.5 miles from the shepherd’s hut. Fowey, with its boutiques and fashionable seafood restaurants, is 11 miles away, while Newquay, which is world-renowned for its surfing, is 14 miles from your base.

Climb three steps up from your private patio to enter this charming abode that has been designed with both people and our pets in mind. It centres on an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom with underfloor heating and a creative design to ensure you can truly relax during your stay. Rustle up snacks and light meals in the charming kitchen area, and sit down at the lovely table to dine. Light the wood burner to bring a cosy ambience to the hut during the colder months and keep the door open onto your outside space in the summer to enjoy indoor/outdoor-style living. Find your favourite shows on the Smart TV on those evenings you decide not to unwind under the stars. The dining area can be cleverly folded away at night-time, so your comfortable double bed can be pulled down from above. Beneath it, there is even a den for dogs to curl up at night. The shepherd’s hut benefits from a private shower room, where you can rinse off after days on the beach. Guests have access to a shared, on-site laundry room.

Enjoy the fresh air and sunshine from your private patio as often as possible. Grill supper on the BBQ and share a bottle of wine as the day draws to a close. Take your dog to stretch his furry legs with a long run around the exercise paddock. There are boot and dog washing facilities nearby. The shepherd’s hut comes with private parking for one car.
