Glamping pod with sea views in Cornwall: a beautiful wooden glamping pod in Mount's Bay, with heavenly views of the ocean and the iconic St Michael's Mount.

Overview

In the west of Cornwall, high above sea level in a stunning meadow, you’ll find this beautifully-built, luxury glamping pod for four. The views out to sea stretch all the way from the fishing village of Mousehole in the west to the Lizard Peninsula in the east, with the picturesque St Michael’s Mount directly ahead. It’s an ocean view that’s hard to beat. Enjoy breakfast on the deck before heading out for a day of wild swimming, walking the coast path and exploring Cornwall's hidden coves.

Step Inside

As soon as you step up onto the decking you’ll see that Coastal Gaze has been thoughtfully designed and built, with crafted wooden interiors framing a luxurious, relaxed, open plan living space. There’s plenty of room for four people, with a large sofa (that converts to a double bed), dining table and chairs, TV and kitchenette, fully-equipped with everything you need to prepare a picnic or evening meal - cooker, microwave, sink, fridge, toaster and kettle. At the back of the pod you’ll find a comfy double bed and an en suite shower room with a heated towel rail. Underfloor heating, double glazing and excellent insulation make this pod warm and comfortable all year round, so it’s as perfect for a wild winter escape as it is for a lazy summer break.

Outdoors

Outside, enjoy the tranquility whilst you settle in a chair with your morning coffee (or evening glass of wine) and gaze out to sea and the Mount, while fishing boats bob on the horizon. As the sun sets and the stars appear, light up the fire pit and gather round for a rustic barbecue, before tucking into bed feeling revitalised after a long day in the fresh coastal air. Coastal Gaze welcomes one dog, so if you’ve got a four-legged friend, they don’t have to miss out on the adventure!

Explore

If you can tear yourself away from the breathtaking views, there is so much beauty to discover across the west of Cornwall. One of the first places to visit has to be St Micheal's Mount. This magical island castle can be accessed by foot at low tide across the causeway and at high tide by boat, from Marazion beach. If lazy beach days are on your to do list, then you are spoilt for choice. With sunny St.Ives only a short drive away, as well as Hayle and its 3 miles of golden sandy beaches to be explored, you can enjoy plenty of salt kissed, sandy moments throughout your stay.

For the adventure seekers, visit Sennen Cove, Gwithian and Porthmeor for surf lessons. You can hire equipment here too. If you love outdoor swimming visit the art deco lido in Penzance and enjoy a salt water swim. There's even a thermal pool here, so you can take to the water even in the winter months. If you love walking, the southwest coast path is just waiting to be explored. Pack a picnic and don't forget your swimwear and towel as there are so many hidden coves to embrace a wild swim, along your coastal ramble. The 12-mile St Michael's Way footpath is one to be discovered and to celebrate your voyage, enjoy a refreshing pint at the White Hart inn in nearby Ludgvan, one of the oldest pubs in Cornwall and luckily only a short stroll away from your humble abode.

The magical Porthcurno isn't far away, so why not book into the famous Minack Theater and enjoy watching a show with the most stunning backdrop! Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens is only a ten minute walk from your glamping hideaway and is well worth a visit. These beautiful gardens boast exotic flora and fauna and the cafe, shop and onsite gallery are well worth a visit! Take time to wander the streets of Newlyn and enjoy some fresh seafood at Mackerel Sky or a cocktail and Tapas at Lovettes. Mousehole is the next village on from Newlyn, and is full of quaint shops and lovely eateries such as The Old Coastguard and The Rockpool. We told you, there is so much to discover across this pretty corner or Cornwall you might never want to leave!

Would definitely recommend to anyone for a short break. The location is first class, with wonderful views over Mounts Bay and St. Michael's Mount I even managed to capture the lodge in a photo taken on the mount itself!

The accomodation well appointed and is perfect for two (might be a bit cosy for more). The welcome hamper was a very nice touch.

We would definitely like to make a return visit.

We absolutely loved our stay with our 7 month old and 4 year old! Kitchen and bathroom exceeded our expectations they were very easy to use and adequate size. Beds were very comfortable. Quiet peaceful location. We spent our days visiting lands end, sennen cove, Penzance, st Michael's mount and st Ives (which we travelled to by local bus walking distance from the pod which was great and very easy!). Brilliant holiday we will be back!

A wonderful ‘glamping’ experience in a well equipped ‘Pod’. The setting and far reaching view was wonderful, as was the welcome from the owner!
Lovely to have such spotless accommodation that also welcomed our little dog!

We had a wonderful long weekend. The setting and views are beautiful and it's a great location for walks and eating out in Penzance. The pod was extremely comfortable and cosy with everything we needed for self catering. Everything was very clean and worked well. We will definitely be back and would recommend to others!

This was a cute and cosy pod with a lovely view. The amenities were great and we appreciated the lovely Cornish gift basket and all the recommendations in the book. This would be ideal for a couple, we stayed 4 adults and it was a bit of a squeeze, but we still had fun!

This was a great mid week stay. Lovely location and very quiet. Fully equipped kitchen so no need to bring anything. Lovely to meet with the owner on the first evening, I found that a nice touch. A perfect location for the bottom end of Cornwall. As a solo female guest I felt very safe at all times. Would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic few days staying in Coastal Gaze, despite being there during Storm Kathleen! The pod was cosy and warm and the view was outstanding. The welcome hamper from the owners was a welcome addition, as was the welcome we received from Andrew when we arrived. I would highly recommend staying here, it was a fantastic experience.

Unbeatable views in a serene setting! It has everything you'd need compacted into a beautiful miniature holiday home. Perfect for sitting out and enjoying the sunset over the Mount we barely wanted to leave the property! In a great location, with a beach in walking distance we found it ideal for exploring some of the most beautiful parts of Cornwall including Marazion, St Ives, Perranuthnoe and Porthleven. We have been raving about it to friends and will definitely be back!

Lovely pod with everything needed to make it comfortable and cosy. The owners have really thought through what is needed and it’s amazing how much has been fitted into the space. The view is to die for, and the location is really good for access to lots of places. We’d definitely return, thank you!

Just stunning location and views! Perfect little pod with everything we needed and the fire pit outside was a bonus. The location was so convenient for Marazion, Penzance and St Ives. The Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens is a lovely 15 min walk away with an outstanding cafe and shady paths to explore. The owner was so welcoming and helpful with local tips. A nice welcome basket & fresh milk waited for us. And did I mention the view??

Coastal Gaze exceeded our expectations. The panoramic view from the pod was amazing! We had BBQs, sundowners and breakfast outside overlooking St Michael's Mount, and when the weather was bad, the pod was cosy and warm. Andrew's welcome and hospitality was excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who likes the outdoors, but doesn't want to camp!

Our stay at coastal gaze was totally beyond our expectations, we have never stayed in any accommodation like this before and admit we were a little apprehensive however, the whole experience was amazing, the facilities were outstanding, the views were unbelievable and the hosts were fantastic! Andrew and Michelle totally deserve the recognition of what they are trying to achieve and couldn’t do enough for their guests making themselves available in their very busy schedules making sure their guests come first! We wholly recommend this to anyone thinking of booking we will definitely be going back! Thank you Andrew and Michelle for a very relaxing holiday in your pod during our very busy and hectic life xx

The WOW factor of these pods starts as you get out of the car to open the gate, what a view!!, We had only just parked up and Andrew was there to greet us, what a wonderful pod, everything you needed, comfortable and very clean, warm and cosy, okay we didn`t have the best of weather, but in the pod you could just shut it out, a very good location for exploring the south Cornwall coast, will definitely be going back, maybe earlier in the year though

Coastal Gaze was wonderful. It was a lovely relaxing family holiday. Certainly worth the long drive from Sheffield.
The view is beautiful whatever the weather. I don't think you could ever get bored of it.
We were made to feel very welcome by the owners.
There is everything you need in the pod. The pods are a really good size too even with a travel cot.
I couldn't recommend this place highly enough.
We will definitely visit again.

The had one of the best holidays ever. The children loved being there. We were able to utilise the outside area around the pod. The pod exceeded our expectations. The underfloor heating made it feel like we were at home. Warm, cost, very nice interior. We received a very warm Cornish welcome with a hamper of scones and sparkling elder flower. Meeting the host was a nice touch. Easy check in and check out. The views were spectacular. I would recommend this to family and friends, and we will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much.
