Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut

This is an mazing hut in the perfect location for a truly relaxing stay. You will not be disappointed with hut, its location and its most charming and welcoming hosts.
We will definitely be back as so many of their guests do.

Wow is the first word that comes to mind! The location of Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut is simply sublime. With stunning views over the estuary and only a short stroll into Padstow Town via the Camel Trail, it's location was perfect.
The hosts A & J are extremely welcoming and have made the hut into a really beautiful space; spotlessly clean and with great amenities.
We had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend!

We’ve just returned from a wonderful four-night stay at Tregwelan Shepherds Hut, and it was every bit as perfect as we remembered. This was our third visit, and once again we were lucky with the weather, treated to amazing sunsets and an ever-changing landscape overlooking the estuary. The hut is ideally situated right next to the Camel Trail, making it the perfect base for exploring.

The owners are absolutely lovely, and the shepherds hut itself had everything we needed – warm, cosy, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped. Our previous stays were in the summer, so it was a real treat to experience it at a different time of year and see the scenery in a new light.

We packed plenty into our trip: we hired a tandem and cycled to Bodmin Jail for a guided tour, enjoyed some beautiful coastal walks, and made the most of the many welcoming pubs in Padstow.

Tregwelan continues to be a little slice of Cornish perfection for us, and we’re already hoping to return for a fourth visit.

The perfect place for a peaceful glamping break.

Our fourth stay at Tregwelan Hut which shows how much we like it. The hut itself is beautifully kitted out and extremely comfortable. It is always immaculately clean too, I absolutely love the outdoor kitchen. The location is second to none and the views sublime. Alison and John are perfect hosts. Thank you and hope to visit again.

This is our 5th visit to the hut! It is our home away from home. Alison and John are the most amazing hosts! They have really thought of everything you would need in the hut. The views are just amazing. We were lucky enough to have a fire pit with marshmallows on the first night with 2 firework displays (one in Rock, one in Padstow). We love being able to walk down to Padstow or around to Wadebridge from the hut. Once there you really do not need the car. Lovely walks and there is also the ferry over to Rock. It is so quiet and peaceful. Bed is super comfy and if needed there is really good WIFI. We love it there and we will be back! :)

Excellent once again, this is the second time we have stayed at Tregwelan and it did not disappoint. The shepherds hut is kept to the highest standards and looked exactly the same as when we left it a couple of years ago. The amount of equipment in the hut is perfect for a comfortable and simple stay. The owners were again delightful and a pleasure to speak to as well as very knowledgeable on the area. And the view!!

Amazing place to stay with outstanding views, something for everyone.

Alison and John (along with Tess the dog) are amazing hosts. They have thought of everything when kitting out their beautiful hut. Such a comfy bed with views to die for. Great location to leave the car and just get walking. We will definitely return. Thank you so much for such a great stay.

This was our third stay at Tregwelan and we had a truly relaxing break surrounded by nature and for once the weather was on our side! A wonderful place to stay if you want to get away from it all, but Padstow is only a short walk away. If you want a longer walk then the Camel Trail to Wadebridge is highly recommended. We will definitely be visiting again.

We would highly recommend the Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut.
The owners were very friendly and helpful and made us very welcome.
We have been visiting Cornwall annually for the last 30 years and we can safely say that the views from this hut is one of the best we have ever had.
We intend to go back again in the future.

Location was perfect.

Hosts were lovely.

Holiday was fantastic.

Highly recommended

Warm welcome, attention to detail, stunning views, amazing place to stay.

We were looking for a relaxing and peaceful location to just take stock and unwind. The Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut did not disappoint, wonderful location, fantastic views, quiet and the outdoor facilities, BBQ and fire pit completed our enjoyment. Alison and John are lovely hosts, they are around but not intrusive unless you need them. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Rich & Sue McGreal

We have lost count of the number of times we have stayed at Alison and John's wonderful Shepherd's Hut. It - and Alison and John - never disappoint. The welcome and facilities are unmatched - not to mention the view. We look forward to our next trip which is already in the planning. Thank you again for the best stay.

Tregwelan Shepherds Hut is a wonderful place to stay. The cosy Hut is equipped with everything you need. On arrival i was greeted by the owners with scones,
clotted cream and marmelade.
There is a hamper full with information and many recommendations about interesting places given by the owners.
Alison and John doing a great job.
It was so calming sitting outside with a cup of tea and with a view on the wonderful Camel Trail??

This was our third stay at Tregwelan Shepherd’s Hut and we would very much like to visit again. We love everything about it, from the fabulous location with its easy walk into Padstow; the gorgeous view; the attention to detail within the hut and its facilities. The outdoor kitchen is a great addition and provides handy additional storage space as well as an impressive barbecue. Alison and John are very welcoming but also respect guests’ privacy. A wonderful place to stay.

Beautiful shepherds hut, in such a stunning location. Everything was perfect.
Our hosts were lovely, and went over and above with very thoughtful touches in order to make our stay extra special.
Would recommend to anyone, very relaxing and peaceful .

Is everything and more

The perfect destination for peace and private relaxation

Wow what an amazing view as you arrive. Certainly not to be missed. The shepherds hut was very well equipped with lots of added little extras. Immaculately clean. Although we didn’t use the BBQ my husband did say it was the cleanest he had seen in a holiday let. Sadly didn’t get to use the fire pit either due to the weather but we could imagine just how nice it would be. The owners greeted us on arrival but were unobtrusive to our stay even though they are next door.

Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut was wonderful. The hut itself is comfortable & has everything you could possibly need. So lovely. Alison met us when we arrived to talk through how things worked and gave us recommendations of places to go.
We enjoyed the scones, cream & jam - and the wine- made us feel very welcome.
Alison & John are genuinely lovely people and fantastic, thoughtful hut unobtrusive hosts.
The star of the show is the location; the views over the estuary are fabulous. Sitting outside enjoying the view first thing in the morning over breakfast, or watching the sunset. You can even see it from the comfort of your bed. Absolutely beautiful.
Its a 15/ 20 min walk into Padstow along the side if the estuary, then back to peace & quiet. We loved our 4 day break, just what we needed. Thank you.

What a great discovery, couldn’t recommend it highly enough !
Extremely well appointed Shepard’s
hut , fantastic condition, all the creature comforts of home plus more !
In a fantastic position you can just park up and relaxxxxxxxx !
Fabulous owners who are there but non obtrusive. Thank you

The Shepherd's Hut is a wonderful place to unwind in peaceful and beautiful surroundings. It is well kitted out and has ample heating to keep it warm and cosy even in early Spring. The views across the estuary are ever changing and stunning in all kinds of weather. It's a beautiful place to just "be".

Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut is one of our favourite glamping spots. If you want somewhere to get away from the crowds, and wake up in the morning to a stunning view, this could be the place for you. We have stayed here seven times, and have never been disappointed. It will always be in our holiday plans.

We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay in Tregwelan. The property had all the creature comforts one could want and it exceeded our expectations. The location of the property was second to none with its stunning views and being surrounded by nature. We loved waking up to the gentle sound of curlews calling. When we arrived there was a a cream tea waiting and wine in the fridge. The owners really had thought of everything. We will definitely be going back.

The number of repeat bookings cited in the reviews says it all really. This was our second visit to the Tregwelan Hut but we would certainly love to return. The hut itself and the fabulous outdoor kitchen are really high quality and immaculate. The location is superb and we love the fact you can walk into the Camel Trail in moments with easy access to Padstow and the coast path. Alison and John are lovely hosts and provide a generous welcome. If we could move in tomorrow we would!

Fantastic Shepherds Hut.
Wonderful hosts.

A deluxe Shepherds Hut with everything you could possible need for the all round glamping experience.

A hidden gem with a view to amaze and astound.

You will definitely leave feeling rejuvenated, happy and wanting to return.

The owners are amazing and go out of their way to ensure you stay is top notch.

If I could live here I would!

An absolutely magical stay. A gorgeous space in a perfect location - I cannot recommend it highly enough!

We love staying at the shepherd's hut. This was our sixth time (I think). Superb accommodation and hosts - Alison and John - and fabulous location. There will most definitely be a seventh visit ...

A beautifully presented property.
Comfortable and convenient.
Fabulous views.
A short walk to Padstow along the Camel Trail.
Lovely to meet the owners and their dog.
Highly recommended for a chilled holiday or break.

Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut is, for us, the ultimate secret hideaway. John and Allison are wonderful hosts. It was our seventh visit, and unlikely to be our last. The location is second to none. Access to the Camel Trail is very convenient for walking or cycling. An abundance of wildlife can be seen in the estuary, on the walk into Padstow.

Just back from our second stay at Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut! Such a superb location and lovely hosts we couldn't resist coming back again, it is such a cute place and had everything we needed. We made full use of the Camel Trail being on the doorstep and cycled the whole of the trail. A couple of times we walked to the bridge, which is only minutes away and swam in the lovely clear water. One of the days we got the bus to Harlyn and walked the coastal route back, this is definitely worth doing, the views were amazing and nice not to have to use the car. We have had an amazing week and I am sure we will be back again! Thank you Alison and John for another great holiday in your Shepherd's Hut.

Beyond all expectations! A little bit of luxury in a heavenly spot. Perfect for exploring Padstow and the coast on foot - didn't need to get in the car once. Listening to/seeing the oystercatchers and curlews was a rare treat! Lovely hosts, too, seamless check-in. A must for the glorious view!

Fantastic Shepherds Hut
Amazing views.

The pictures sold it for us and when you get there it's even better.....magical place....could have sat outside all day and just looked at view...will be coming back!!

Everything about Tregwelan Shepherds Hut from the warm welcome, to the view, to the home from home feel makes this a 5 star experience.

We absolutely loved our stay at Tregwelan Hut and would love to return. It is set in a wonderfully private location with outstanding views. If you want to park up and leave the car behind it provides easy walking access to Padstow and the foot passenger ferry to Rock. We loved the outdoor kitchen too, which although we only used for a bit of extra storage space as the weather was cold, would be wonderful on a warm evening. A wonderful spot, with friendly but discreet hosts. We can’t wait to return in warmer weather some time.

Thoroughly recommend the shepherds hut. The location and views are spectacular. So easy to walk into Padstow or join the camel trail.
The hut is comfortable and cosy with everything you need. The outside space is very private with a BBQ and firepit

Lovely shepherds hut in a great location with amazing views. Ideal spot for walking into Padstow and plenty of walks around the area. Catching the ferry to Rock is a good day out and exploring all the local beaches. Plenty of places to eat out or you can cook/BBQ back at the hut. John and Alison are lovely hosts and knowledgable about the area. We would definitely recommend a stay and hope to return.

A beautiful, well equipped hut in a truly stunning location. Fantastic, friendly hosts whose helpfulness and attention to detail made for a lovely stay. I would not only recommend Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut, but hope to return soon in sunnier months!

This was our fourth stay at Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut and hopefully won't be our last. It is a wonderful place to relax and unwind - fantastic accommodation in a fantastic location and Alison and John are the perfect hosts. Sharon and Vince Wetherell.

We had a great time at the Tregwelan shepherds hut and can’t recommend it highly enough. The hosts/hut /facilities and location were all excellent and we’re very much looking forward to our next stay in 2022.

A proper get away from it all piece of Cornwall with the very best view to be found

Just bliss. Beautiful view, comfy accommodation, perfectly located in peaceful surroundings.

Very enjoyable stay very central for exploring on foot and on bikes It’s position means that is peaceful and relaxing away from busy Padstow, but close enough to enjoy when you want. The view is mesmerising and one which I will miss ! The hut is beautiful with all considerations of comfort and ease it is immaculate and well maintained small but perfectly formed. Thank you we hope to be back soon.

This was our fifth visit to Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut, and we will be back. It ticks all the boxes for us.

As a surprise getaway for my partners 30th, i removed her blindfold once we arrived at the hut. Her breath was taken away by the views and the subtle simplicity of the shepherds hut. On the inside, there was nothing simple, with every detail being exceptionally thought through with shower room, hobs, wood burner, fold out bed and even Wifi. Far more than a shepherd would expect! The location was perfect, a 15min walk from Padstow and easy access to many places along the camel trail and ferry cross from Padstow, and the hosts more than welcoming and knowledgeable of the area. Book Now!

An amazing location perfectly suited for a quiet couples get away. The sunsets are unparalleled, Padstow is a short walk away with plenty of pubs and restaurants! Would definitely come back again.

Would highly recommend, we can’t wait to go back! Nothing we did not like

From start to finish, our stay was exceptional. Alison and John were amazing hosts and made us feel very welcome and nothing was ever too much. The hut was well stocked with everything we could need and the location was incredible. We couldn't rate our stay enough and we'll definitely be back soon.

The perfect all round high level glamping experience that we would prefer to keep a secret so we could stay forevermore! Extremely highly recommended.

Wonderful - five stars doesn’t do it justice. The perfect holiday.

Stunning view, beautiful hut, helpful hosts

The most perfect holiday!

Amazing location and brilliant for an active couple who want to be a situated a stones throw from Padstow and Rock.

Alison and John are great with the small details that make a holiday perfect.

Those who decide to stay here should love each other very much as space is obviously at a premium.
However, if you do decide to stay here you will be met by the most charming, well-appointed, beautifully furnished shepherd's hut in the most spectacular location with breath-taking ever-changing views, where everything is well thought out.
The outside space is also perfect and it too, is very well equipped. A great place to soak up the views and stare at the stars.
The owners are wonderful, discreet and incredibly accommodating.
The photos do it justice.

Wonderful location and beautiful little property, with fantastic hosts. Walkable into Padstow/Rock etc so really little need to use the car. Highly recommended.

The Shepard’s hut was amazing and the views stunning. I was there between Feb 10-14 2020 during storm ciera ! And I was so snug and cosy I had everything I needed and the Woodburner was lovely. Fab location for walking and cycling. The owners were so welcoming and helpful but very unobtrusive , and after my arrival communicated by text message. Can’t wait to go back .

The most perfect place for a relaxing, quiet and peaceful escape with lots to do on your doorstep if you wish. The views across the estuary and out to sea are amazing and ever changing!

Stunning location, beautifully equipped and decorated Shepherd's Hut, and delightful owners

Perfect. From start to finish. Cannot wait to be back next year!

The shepherd's hut is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed.

Lovely Shepherds Hut in a lovely, peaceful location but within easy reach of Padstow and Rock. Alison and John are welcoming and provided some lovely Gluten free welcoming treats. Amazing, ever changing views. Highly recommended.

The hut was fantastic with everything we needed, we enjoyed our walks each day into beautiful Padstow and around the coast. Views from the hut were wonderful and ever changing. The owners of the hut were extremely helpful but not intrusive. We really hope to visit again in the future !

The description Glamping does not do the Shepherd's Hut justice. The hut itself is thoughtfully designed, beautifully crafted and cosily comfortable. The location is idyllic, with fabulous views over the Camel estuary, Padstow and the surrounding countryside - all of which can be enjoyed while drinking tea in bed! The owners' home is nearby but the hut is positioned and screened to avoid being overlooked and they are extremely careful to leave their guests in peace - even sending texts to make sure we had everything we needed rather than calling in. We had a warm welcome on arrival and found the hut provisioned with everything we needed - including a delicious cream tea. Padstow is a pleasant walk along the camel trail and we only needed the car for excursions. All of which added up to a wonderful week and we were sad to leave.

Tregwelan is simply perfect for a relaxed, car free stay!

Myself and my wife thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful location.The sheperds hut is a superb stay,what a view!We would love to stay here again sometime and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break in fantastic surroundings.

Perfect stay at a stunning location, highly recommended

It was our second stay at the Shepherd's Hut in 2019 (and it's only May). I think that tells you how wonderful the accommodation is. The location and hosts are second to none. We'll be back.

This Shepherds Hut comes highly recommended for anyone wanting a ‘get away from it all’ break. The situation of the Hut together with the mesmerising views will ensure a reinvigorated new you! We cannot wait to return.

An amazing slice of heaven, wonderful views. High quality fixtures and fittings. So much more than glamping.

Perfect! Thank‘s to Alison and John for such a warm welcome and this cozy place!

Another amazing stay at the Shepard's hut. Amazing to get to use the wood burner this time around. Lovely location, amazing view, great hosts. We will be back a third time soon :)

If you want a quiet peaceful break with a fantastic view, this could be the place for you. Just a 20 minute walk into Padstow picking up the Camel Trail a few yards down the hill.

Beautiful location and very smart 'quirky' accommodation. Perfect for a quiet week away and great access on foot to Padstow and the coast. The owners are extremely friendly and on hand if needed.

Our stay at Tregwelan Shepherd's Hut was everything and more. The hut was so cosy and welcoming and had such lovely touches to it to make our stay extra special! We loved the cream tea on arrival, and sitting and relaxing playing the board games provided! Myself and my partner had a great laugh! It was something else to have your morning coffee outside looking at the fantastic view! The location was fantastic and we was able to take a walk in to Padstow a couple of days! We didn't use the car the whole weekend! Alison and John have made this experience wonderful! We cannot thank them enough. Had the most perfect weekend, with lots of happy memories made. Thank you so much, the hut is perfect and beautiful. Emily and Tom (Penzance, Cornwall) XX

Little, but great.

Amazing property, amazing location beautiful views, owners make you feel very welcome with lots of little touches including a cream tea and wine. Lovely walks to Padstow along the Camel trail, where there are lovely shops, places to eat and drink. You will not be disappointed with a visit to this Shepherds Hut, breathtaking!

Excellent

We had an amazing honeymoon here. The views are incredible, the hut is really comfy and the owners couldn't have been more helpful.

Fantastic cottage. Excellent location. Extremely friendly and welcoming owners. Perfect for a getaway!

We had a wonderful week and didn't want the holiday to end. Alison and John are so welcoming and extremely helpful too. The Shepherd's Hut is just perfect in every detail, we couldn't have asked for a nicer place to spend our holiday. The ever changing view of the estuary and watching the sun set behind Padstow, made this location very special. Definitely keen to come back and stay again!

A very well designed hut, with excellent mod-cons. Everything you need is included. Owners extremely welcoming.

We absolutely adored our mini break in the Hut. The facilities were exemplary, the views were perfect.

Small but perfectly formed.
This hut although very small it is as perfect as can be. Very clever interior design with great attention to detail.
The view is breathtaking and the view from the very comfy bed will make it hard to drag yourself out to explore.
Easy and pretty 15/20 minute walk into padstow via the camel route (we did it with a pushchair with no isssues)
Book this hut - you really won’t regret it

We had the most amazing honeymoon time in this little gem ! Will recommend it to friends and will be definitely returning for anniversaries ! Wonderful facilities, perfect location, lovely hosts - we couldn’t wish for more !
Sveta and Drew

An absolutely delightful stay at the Shepherds hut. A warm welcome by the hosts to a very well equipped and nicely decorated shepherds huts with great views that you can even see from the bed! pure bliss. Wonderful place to relax and then when you feel like it, you can wander down to Padstow and enjoy the town!

Lovely place, so much to do locally never mind Cornwall as a whole.

Great place to switch off and get away from life.

Stay as long as you can. Location is perfect. Walking distance to the great restaurants in Padstow or hop over to Rock on the Ferry. The view is literally breath taking. Alison and John are Wonderful hosts. The hut takes self catering to another level - handmade crockery. Fresh milk, bread and treats on arrival.Thank you for a memorable experience - We look forward to our return even though we are only 20 minutes away
Thank you, D&S

Lovely owners and a view to match the gorgeous hut, would definitely recommend!

If you’re looking for some different/unusual accommodation the Shepherd’s Hut ticks this box. A cottage that has been through a hot dry, it is perfectly equipped with everything to ensure you’ll relax and make the most of your weekend. Superb views of the coastline coupled with a 20min walk to Padstow and 1hr 20 into Wadebridge so the location isn’t bad either. If you’re not the most adventurious walker, the camel trail is flat and will fill you with a sense of achievement when you reach you destination. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend this to anyone.

We loved our mini break.
Location is excellent, right on the Camel Trail, great for walking, cycling or running. Close to the beach, nice restaurants and a bit of shopping in Padstow is great.
If you don't fancy going out you can relax in the garden, use the BBQ, light the fire pit or curl up and go to sleep in front of the wood burner.
We would recommend eating at The Golden Lion in Padstow, great food, lovely cosy setting and not over priced, attentive staff and best of all family run.
We came back well rested and wanting to book again another time!!!

This is a true home away from home. What more can I say - stunning views, amazing hosts and a wonderful little pad in a great location. This is one I would recommend to anyone. The facilities are great - fire pit, amazing bbq and then Alison/John have thought of all those little touches that make the stay even more special. A place to relax and have some time out. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hut and the only issue was having to leave to come home.

We had the most magical short break and I will definitely be back. A beautiful setting in a perfect location. Being able to walk into Padstow in the evenings and enjoy the restaurants as well as having the luxury of an exceptional BBQ with stunning private view meant that this hut had it all.

All the daytime activities that the camel estuary has to offer are on your doorstep, whether that's walking, cycling, sailing or surfing or enjoying a local cream tea/pint its all accessible within walking distance.

The hit itself was so wonderful and cosy and not a bit crampt. The level of care and attention that went into every furnishing and detail was incredible. We enjoyed every minute of our holiday and have since been unable to stop raving about it to all our family and friends. Thank you Alison and John !

'If you want an idyllic, quiet, luxurious accommodation that has a stunning view overlooking the sea, this is the place to go!'
