There's a reason why the cute Cornish hamlet of Warleggan has twinned itself with Narnia, the mythical land of CS Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It's because its quiet remoteness (it really is far, far from the madding crowd) gives it an otherworldly feel that's nothing other than magical. The Witch's Wagon at Warleggan is tucked into 12 acres of wonderful countryside that offers awesome views over open meadows, moorland streams and historic woodlands. Here you can breathe in the fresh air, listen out for birdsong, stretch your legs in the great outdoors, marvel at the sunset and spot the stars as they appear one by one in the night sky. There's a fire-pit for gathering with a blanket around your shoulders and telling tall tales, and a hot tub for more relaxation in warming bubbles - perhaps with a glass of wine. And, via floor-to-ceiling glass doors, a glorious a sun deck with a picnic-table and loungers is all yours for al fresco meals.
Inside, The Witch's Wagon is very much larger than life, with room for a romantic retreat for two or a fun-packed glamping getaway for four. You could even book two or three huts and holiday in a larger group. In this high quality, open plan space, attention to detail is evident everywhere and comfort is paramount. The barrel-shaped roof and tongue-and-groove walls are painted fresh, bright white, contrasting with the lovely warmth of the natural wood floor and offsetting the glorious views from the picture windows. It's clean and minimal in style, but oh-so-comfy in feel. The made-to-measure kitchen comes with an oven, two-ring hob and a full-size fridge, ideal for cooking up a hearty breakfast (perhaps including some scrummy home-bred sausages or bacon purchased from the lovely owners) or a tasty supper, and in the evening you can curl up on the squishy sofa by the wood-burner, which will happily keep you warm all year round. There's a dining table and chairs if you decide to eat indoors, a proper, curly metal, king-sized bed, hand-crafted oak bunk-beds and, the piece de resistance, a good-looking en suite shower-room with a wash-basin, flushing toilet and all the hot water you could possibly want. Could one ask for more? Probably not. This is the very definition of luxury camping.

Absolutely delightful stay. Well equipped, comfy and a real treat. Loved the hot tub and sitting round the fire in the evening. Would definitely come again.

We had an amazing time at the Witch's Wagon for my partner's 40th birthday. The kids and us absolutely loved the location, the hut and the hot tub.
It's situated in a great location as a starting hub to visit all around Cornwall and Devon. It's very secluded and tranquil, but not too far away from key locations. The kids had a brilliant time spotting the free-roaming animals as you leave Warleggan to go towards the dual carriageway/Looe. There are so many great places to visit within relatively good distances (Eden Project, Looe, Camel Creek, Hidden Valley Puzzle Park etc).
The hut came equipped with everything we required to have a wonderful stay, and had some lovely complimentary (homemade, I presume) scones and jam for cream tea on arrival!
We didn't speak to the owners as we were out each day for full days, but spoke to one of our neighbours who said they were great if we needed anything/offering to show kids their animals etc.
Would highly recommend to anyone with kids looking for a nice holiday!

We had a magical stay at the Witch’s Wagon. The wagon was beautifully furnished and had everything me and my children (5 and 9) needed. The setting is peaceful and we enjoyed the views from the hot tub. There is plenty to do locally (Lanhydrock, Bodmin) as well as further afield (crabbing at Mevagissey, Lost Gardens of Heligan and super beaches all less than an hour away). We spent evenings around the fire pit before snuggling up in very comfortable beds. Thank you! We can’t wait to return.

A very comfortable secluded hut with far reaching amazing views and peaceful surroundings.
Lovely surprise welcome of a homemade cream tea for us and a dog bowl, treats and towel for our dog.
Hot tub was super clean and up and running on arrival.
Bedding was so comfortable and there was lots of storage available to use.
The decor and attention to detail was great. We really enjoyed our stay in Narnia and so did our dog!
Highly recommend and would definitely book here again

Compact and bijou, a perfect space for a few days exploring the moors. Despite its size it had everything we needed and the hot tub was very welcome after our days out. But the best bit was the view, sitting next to the fire pit with a glass of wine - heaven, thank you!

We had an amazing holiday. The Witch’s Wagon was absolutely fantastic. Everything was so well thought out. The spacing between the other huts made it feel like we were in our own little ‘Narnia’ a truly wonderful holiday. We looked forward to getting back from our day trips and relaxing. A wonderful and memorable holiday.

Myself and my two young children (6&4) have just had the most wonderful week at the Witches Wagon. The wagon itself is so well equipped and very clean and comfortable. The children loved their bunks and all the twinkly fairy lights at night. The hot tub is a huge bonus, we used it everyday. It is such a peaceful setting, deep in the countryside, a real getaway! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Simply stunning inside and out!
We are a family of 4 and loved every second of our stay and wished we could have stayed longer!
On arrival there were fresh scones with clotted cream and jam waiting for us which was lovely touch.
We will be returning and have already recommended it to family and friends and would love to be able to rent all 3 properties so we can holiday with a large group!
Incredible!! Thanks for having us!

This is a lovely little cottage from the location to the hut itself. Would recommend to anyone was an amazing stay very relaxing. The hot tub as expected was really nice to relax in even on chilly nights. Decent quality furnishings that add to the cosy feel within the hut i much preferred this to any form of hotel as you can look after yourselves but have all your essentials within the hut. The small log burner kicks out amazing heat keeping you super cosy day or night!

We loved the wagon. The wood burner was wonderful, and also the hot tub, we made use of these fully, and loved every minute.
The views were stunning, and the wagon was well equipped, with the lovely little extras, such as home made scones, with jam, and clotted cream on arrival.
I would most certainly recommend staying here to others and would also look to book all 3 x huts with other families in the future.
Thank you soooo much!

We had a lovely relaxing weekend in the 'Witches Wagon'. Amazing location, beautiful hut with everything you could need, big comfy bed for the adults, lovely bunk beds for the children, a great log burner that kept the hut warm & cosy & to top it off a amazing hot tub that was a great place to look at the view down the valley & to watch the stars at night. We couldn't recommend the 'Witches Wagon' highly enough, & are hoping to book again in the future.
