Squirrel Nutkin at Roe Wood

Overview

This hidden haven is just the tonic for those wishing to press pause on their busy schedule and retreat to rural bliss. Enveloped by woodland, boasting mesmerising countryside and coastal views, Squirrel Nutkin offers beautiful, ever-changing scenery. Watch the sun glisten across the ocean on a summer’s day or marvel as the landscape transforms into an autumnal palette of rust and amber. The sleek timber cabin has large windows to utilise the view, or why not step outside and enjoy the vista from the warmth of the bubbling hot tub? There’s a wood-burner for those out of season escapes and sumptuous soft furnishing to sink into after a coastal ramble.

Step Inside

The adventure begins when you transport your luggage from your private parking space in your very own wheelbarrow. Step into the spacious open-plan living area, which features floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that allow natural light to flood in. Hop onto the sofa with a cuppa and watch the natural world go by. The superbly equipped kitchen is situated to the left of the cabin, complete with an oven and hob, microwave, fridge (with small freezer) and plenty of work-top space. The stunning tiles are a lovely feature and add character to this elegant hideaway. To the right, you’ll find the comfy king-size bed, adorned with pretty linens, promising a peaceful night's rest. The sweet little wood-burner creates the cosiest ambience, offering a warm welcome no matter the season. There’s also a TV for leisurely lie-ins and a sleek shower room to freshen up for the day ahead.

Outdoors

Step out onto your secluded decking as morning sunlight slips through the trees. Let fresh air fill your lungs, and enjoy a freshly brewed pot of coffee in the dappled shade. Squirrel Nutkin offers an abundance of peaceful spots to sit back, relax and soak in the tranquillity. Embrace an alfresco brunch on the wooden bench, have an afternoon snooze on the lovely loungers, light the fire pit as dusk settles and soak up the magic of a moonlit evening; toasting marshmallows over flickering flames before slipping into the heavenly hot tub. The spellbinding view expands over lush rolling fields and pretty woodland, before reaching the sea in the distance. The perfect backdrop for your time spent in nature. If you keep your eyes peeled you might glimpse a shy roe deer, rabbits, squirrels and a variety of birdlife. Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element here, and the beauty continues far beyond the cabin, as you explore this special corner of Cornwall…

Explore

This is the ideal base for woodland walks and coastal adventures. Countryside strolls start at your doorstep, and you can follow a path for just half a mile straight to the village of Lanlivery - and its welcoming olde worlde pub, offering fantastic local fare. Cycle the trails at Cardinham Woods or Lanhydrock, or drive to nearby sailing town of Fowey and enjoy its boutique shops, galleries and cafes, perhaps taking a trip out on the water. Lostwithiel is worth a look, full of interesting, independent shops, many of them specialising in antiques, while Charlestown, where tall ships anchor in the historic harbour, is absolutely fascinating. Your nearest beach is Par Sands, just a short hop away, with an expanse of sand and shallow waters. Of course, there are also the delights of the world-famous Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the National Trust's Lanhydrock House & Gardens and, close to home, the Duchy of Cornwall Nursery, which also boasts an excellent cafe and gift shop.

Extra Information
