Guests say
Guests consistently praise the Gillan Creek Retreat for its peaceful and tranquil setting, exceptional cleanliness, and the comfort provided by the well-equipped shepherd's hut and cosy log burner. The hot tub and barbecue hut are frequently highlighted as favourite features, contributing to a memorable and romantic getaway. The attentive and helpful hosts, Paul and Sharon, are commended for their warm welcome and quick response to any issues.
Cleanliness
Reviewers unanimously mention the spotless condition of the retreat, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
Location
The retreat's location is described as peaceful, off-grid, and close to beautiful beaches and coastal paths, making it ideal for a relaxing escape. The proximity to the Lizard heritage coast and Helford adds to its appeal, although the off-grid nature may not suit everyone.
Comfort
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests highlighting the cosy log burner, comfortable four-poster bed with premium bedding, and the overall cosy and well-designed hut.
Facilities
Facilities such as the wood-fired hot tub, barbecue hut, and well-equipped kitchen receive high praise. The only minor drawback mentioned is the limited capacity for electrical items due to solar power, which is clearly communicated to guests.
Thoughtfulness
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through the warm welcome, selection of goodies on arrival, and fresh chicken eggs. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
With a wood fired hot tub, hobbit-style barbecue lodge, king-size four poster bed and power shower, Gillan Creek Retreat is the ultimate eco-friendly getaway. Beautifully set in a private meadow on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, it makes a great place to escape for some fresh air and relaxation.
Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, this retreat is the ultimate off-grid glamping getaway. Unwind, relax and spoil yourselves in this unique place that combines being in nature whilst enjoying some luxury. In addition to this, it's in a great location to use as a base to explore the surrounding areas, amazing beaches and coves etc.
The hut itself is home to a luxurious, king-size four poster bed with storage below, with Egyptian cotton bedding provided. The shower room has a hot power shower, flushing toilet and complimentary toiletries, and a small kitchenette has fridge, double gas hob and all cooking essentials. For chilly evenings, a wood burning stove will keep you toastie with complimentary logs provided.
Next to the hut is the romantic wood-fired hot tub. Sip your favourite tipple whilst listening out for the hooting of the local Tawny Owls and star gaze to your hearts content. In addition to the shepherds hut, the Hobbit-style barbecue lodge is a complimentary extra, provided for your private use, to cook up a storm, no matter the weather; or you might fancy toasting marshmallows, s'mores or sausages using the fire pit outside. Plenty of choice!
After a day of exploring the surrounding area, you may choose to laze on the double hammock before dinner, listening to the gentle flowing creek, or relax and read a book in the swinging chair in the wooded area or simply listen to the bird song and cows and sheep in nearby fields. If you're lucky, you may spot the small family of deer that occasionally visit the meadow. Your nearest neighbours are the six cute and very friendly chickens, which are fenced off to keep any doggy guests safe.
Although this retreat is off-grid, you wouldn't know it, with fresh running water, a divine hot shower, flushing toilet and wi-fi, all run from a hidden array of solar panels, with the fresh water coming from a borehole.
