A family-sized luxury lodge and yurt on a magical smallholding near Looe in Cornwall

Describing somewhere as 'enchanted' is a bold claim. But, to be fair, that's exactly what owners Amanda and Allan thought when they stumbled across this place less than a decade ago. Because this 34-acre smallholding does indeed feel magical, with its own bubbling brook, wildflower meadows and lots of active local wildlife tucked away in its own valley just a few miles northwest of Looe and the south Cornwall coast. It's an enchanting location by any standards. For families, it's a dream.

Despite the name, the accommodation here consists of just the one yurt – Owl – and a charming pixie style cabin known as Pheasant Lodge. The latter sleeps up to five people on a king-size bed, a daybed and a couple of extendable futons. It has solar powered lighting, USB charging points, outside decking with a table and chairs, plus a chimenea for al fresco evenings. Across the stream, Owl Yurt is a little bit more secluded. It too can sleep up to five people on a mixture of a double bed, day bed and futons. It has its own log-burning stove and solar-power lighting and the same outdoor setup of decking equipped with a table, chairs and a chimenea. The vibe in both is cosy and boho, with plentiful rugs and throws adding a welcome touch of enchantment.

The yurt and lodge share a log cabin housing the toilets and hot solar-powered showers. And an additional communal cabin is home to a well-equipped kitchen, kitted out with a fridge and freezer, range cooker, microwave, toaster and kettle. Pots and pans, crockery and cutlery are all provided, as are tables and chairs, games and books for rainy days. Outside, you'll also find a wood-burning pizza oven and a barbecue, along with a campfire area for lazy evenings chatting and watching the sun set. Little ones will love spotting the curious free-range chickens and petting the friendly donkeys.

Finally, you may be in an enchanted valley but you're not far from basic supplies, where the village of Lanreath – a short walk away, up a hill – has a shop and post office selling local Cornish produce, plus you can get eggs on the farm. It's also worth exploring beyond the valley – the coast and its many coves and beaches is just a 15-minute drive away, as is the picturesque port and resort town of Looe. Spend some time wandering its steep streets, enjoying its sandy beach, or taking a ferry to the nearby nature reserve of Looe Island.

Details

Facilities

Each Yurt or cabin has its own platform with table and chairs, chimenea and sun loungers, and their own designated shower room and toilet in a nearby log cabin. The kitchen, campfire and BBQ area is shared between the two accommodations. Many people often come with friends and book the whole site to enjoy the facilities to themselves.

Suitable For

The campsite is set over two fields which are mainly managed for wildlife. There are mown areas around the cabins and yurt to play games in or chill out, and various tracks mown to explore the fields. All ages come to enjoy the peace and quite form the hustle and bustle of life, and say hello to the donkeys and llamas.

Nearby

Looe is our local fishing port and a beautiful place to wander round its quaint streets and shops. There are glass bottom boat trips around Looe Island just off the coast. Looe masquerades as Shipton Abbott in the TV series Beyond Paradise and there are many notable land marks to be seen from the series including Martha's café filmed in the Sardine Factory which serves great locally caught sea food.

Polperro just along the coast west of Looe is another quaint fishing village to visit with its small winding lanes and a model village tucked away should not be missed.

The moors are not far away in the opposite direction for wilder walks and some very good pubs dotted around on them.

Food & Drink

We are awaiting the opening of our village pub, The Punchbowl which has an ancient history and has been lovingly restored over the last few years. It is due to open soon so very exciting. It will be in walking distance, just up in the village of Lanreath.

There are many other good places to eat and drink around the villages. Visiting Fowey has always been a good experience lots of tearooms and good places to eat.

Open

We open at the end of April to the end of September. The yurt comes down for the winter so the site is closed for visitors.
