Glamping with Nature – Yurts, Shepherd’s Hut and Strawbale Barn in Cornwall
We are a beautiful eco retreat with three yurts, a shepherd’s hut and a strawbale barn on an organic smallholding on the Roseland Peninsula, South Cornwall. In this hidden green valley within walking distance of the sea, you can reconnect with nature and wildlife, knowing that your holiday is low-impact and sustainable.
"Beautiful place, the most generous hosts, amazing fruit and veg from the garden and freshly baked bread from the garden. Spent my 4 day stay doing all the things I love in a wonderful place! The slower pace is exactly what I needed to unwind
