Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut

This hut is well and truly 'off the well-worn-path'. As you travel through the country lanes, the first indication that you have reached your destination is the vast sea view in front of you. Tucked in the corner of the lovely owner's peaceful garden, you will find your idyllic space, a place to call home for the next few days. It's not only the captivating landscape that is exceptional about this romantic retreat. Every tiny detail has been thought through, in such a way that you will be making a shopping list for your own home. The tasteful interiors such as the bespoke rug and colourful, Middle Eastern style cushions, will transport you to another world. The quality, rustic crockery is just beautiful. Is it just us, or does a cup of tea taste better when it's in a good mug, not to mention when you can see the sea from where you rest your head? No detail is too small, and you will find everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The kitchen is well equipped to whisk up a scrumptious treat. Pop on the radio, poach yourself some eggs, mash the avocado and toast the sourdough for an alfresco breakfast, or get settled around the spacious dining table for a candle lit dinner, followed by a classic game of scrabble. Like all our accommodation there are quirky features throughout this shepherd's hut. The comfy, ready-made bed, folds down from the wall, giving you more space through the day to relax at this lovely abode. What could be more wonderful than returning to this little haven and lighting the wood burner after a cold winters day of exploring the coast path. That's what's so amazing about this unique escape, it's the perfect place to retreat too, all year round.

This blissful shepherd's hut isn't just dreamy inside, you have everything you could possibly desire outside. A fire pit to toast marshmallows on, wooden deckchairs to unwind in with a glass of chilled wine and new to 2021 the owners have built an outdoor shelter and bike store as well as a BBQ hut. With a bespoke BBQ to cook your summery feast upon, the option of using the new Ooni Pizza Oven and with Padstow on your doorstop, your dinner options are endless!

Now let's talk about the location of this hidden sanctuary. You are a 20-minute walk from the bustling fishing town of Padstow. You can see the famous Camel Trail from your doorstep. The Camel Trail is an 18-mile flat trail that runs from Wenfordbridge to Padstow, popular with both walkers and cyclists. It's a must during your stay and one of the highlights of the trail is stopping off at Camel Valley, a gorgeous Cornish vineyard where you can enjoy a daytime tipple in the sunshine (remember to book). The views are stunning from start to finish and once you reach Padstow treat yourself to Rick Stein's famous fish and chips.

There is so much to explore in this area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Padstow has an abundance of unique, boutique shops and eateries. Wadebridge is another Cornish town to discover and across the way is Rock, popular with those who enjoy water sports. If it's beaches you are after, then you are spoilt for choice. With Constantine Bay, Harlyn Bay (be sure to check out The Pig at Haryln Bay for a delicious dinner or a delightful cocktail), Polzeath and Daymer Bay close by, you won't know which to explore first. These pretty shores are all within a 30-minute drive from Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut.

And finally, we have to mention the magical Prawn on the Farm. You can see this fantastic summer set-up across the field from your tranquil escape. Prawn on the farm is a pop-up marquee, open through the warmer months offering the finest Cornish produce for you to enjoy whilst overlooking the breath-taking view. This romantic dinner setting is only a very short drive away and provides a truly unforgettable atmosphere, but please remember to book as this is dining experience is very popular.
