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.

Cabin with a hot tub in Cornwall: Wander the woodland track to reach this bespoke cabin situated in the most tranquil setting. Discover cosy interiors, embrace alfresco feasting and soak in the luxurious hot tub as stars fill the night sky.
Overview
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.
Layout
Open plan living-room with kitchen, dining and bedroom areas. Electric cooker (oven and hob), microwave, fridge (with small freezer), kettle, toaster, wood-burner, TV and king-size double bed (5'). Shower-room with shower, WC and wash-basin
Extra Information
Foxy Loxy (4327) shares this special, 30-acre setting with you, but don't worry - it's set further up the meadow, far enough away to ensure you maintain your privacy.
The owners have also kindly provided lockable storage (for bikes etc) and wheelbarrows to help transport your luggage from the car to the cabin.

Wir waren nun zum zweiten Mal an diesem wunderbaren Platz. Für uns ist es ein magischer Ort. Die Ruhe, die Einsamkeit, die Umgebung. Wie schon beim ersten Mal hat uns die Einfahrt zum Häuschen an einen Zauberwald erinnert. Wir können diesen Platz uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Alle Menschen, die die Natur und Ruhe schätzen, werden sich hier wohl fühlen. Zum Schluss möchten wir auch noch die nette Gastfamilie erwähnen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Ganz liebe Grüße aus Wien, Margit und Joachim

If you're looking for an idyllic bolt-hole away from it all then Roe Woods and their cabins are just the ticket.
Cosy and equipped with everything you could need, the cabins have their own hot tub- great for a peaceful soak and stargazing in comfort.
A sub 15 min walk to the local pub with a range of ales, beers and alcohol free drinks and excellent hearty food.
Fowey is only a 20 min drive away and is a beautiful fishing town with shops, cafes, museum, aquarium and numerous coastal walks and beachy coves to explore.
You will not be disappointed!

Staying at this little woodland lodge was an absolute gem of an experience. Tucked away among the trees, it feels wonderfully private and peaceful, with nothing but nature around you. The setting is truly beautiful — waking up to birdsong and the view of the woods right outside the window was incredibly relaxing.
The lodge itself is compact but very thoughtfully designed. Every inch of space is used well, and it feels cozy rather than small. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the warm, inviting atmosphere makes it easy to settle in straight away.

We had a lovely countryside stay with absolutely stunning views even in rainy February they were impressive. The property was very clean, comfortable and peaceful, with the log burner keeping it cosy at night.
The kitchen was well equipped and the thoughtful extras (chocolates, towel robes and even wellies) were much appreciated. We enjoyed the hot tub and walking to the local pub for a roast. A really relaxing stay overall.

Highly recommend Squirrel Nutkin. A perfect location for a peaceful getaway. Stargazing from the hot tub was magical. The property was immaculately clean and maintained with every little detail thoughtfully considered. We will definitely return! Thank you Jo and Farmer Bri ??

Jo is an excellent host and has been very easy to contact with any issues or queries and comes around straight away if you need her. We have stayed at both squirrel Nutkin and Foxy Loxy in Roe wood and Jo has literally thought of everything you may need for your stay including lovely little extras like biscuits and fresh milk/oat milk. The lodge’s are warm and cozy and the grounds are secluded and pretty. We will definitely be returning again next year Thankyou Jo xx

We had a fantastic stay at Squirrel Nutkin for our mini-moon. The cabin was the perfect home away from home and was so peaceful and relaxing. The kitchen was well kitted out with everything you could need and the cabin was perfectly laid out.

Fabulous place to stay ..we absolutely love it, this was our fourth time staying at the property and we have already booked for next year. It’s spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It’s well located for exploring the coast with Polperro, Fowey and Charlestown, not far away. There is a well stocked farm shop at Colwith Farm Distillery which is really handy.

We loved our stay at Squirrel Nutkin and wouldn’t hesitate to holiday there again.
We were a bit unlucky with the weather but there are plenty of good walks nearby and places to visit.
Jo the owner was really friendly and helpful with suggestions for things to do.

Accomodation was spotlessly clean and was well equipt. Bed was so comfy, hot tub was magical. Would 100% stay again and would 1000% recommend to anyone! Thank you so much x

Perfect place for a couple get away. Tranquil location and the not far from local amenities and a local pub that serves food is a 20 min walk away. The hosts also provide onside laundry facilities and a vehical electrical charging which is handy.

Was für ein wundervoller, friedlicher, schöner Platz :). Schon die Einfahrt zum Haus, durch den Wald, ist magisch. Das Häuschen hat eine wunderbare Lage. Man ist umgeben von Natur, und hat viel Privatsphäre. Viele liebevolle Details wie die Wasserschüssel und Futterstelle für Tiere vor dem Haus. Nicht zu vergessen, dass man sich Gummistiefel UND Socken ausborgen kann. Und die Scheibtruhen, in sehr origineller Farben, sind sehr praktisch. Weiters ist alles in Cornwall zeitlich gut zu erreichen. Wir haben uns jeden Tag darauf gefreut, wieder zurückzukommen. Auch der Jacuzzi war für uns, nach einem langen Tag, angenehm zum Entspannen.
Es ist uns richtig schwer gefallen, Abschied zu nehmen. Wir können diesen Platz zu 100% empfehlen. Und würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Alles Gute für die Zukunft!

We have stayed in both lodges multiple times, they are always spotlessly clean with everything you could need and more. It is so quiet and relaxing and perfect for listening to the owls while sitting in the hot tub with a glass of fizz. The welly boots are a great addition for a wander through the woods.
There are lots of lovely towns to walk around, just be aware not all shops open during the winter months. If you enjoy fish and chips try Bens in Mevagissy, they are wonderful and the staff are great. You can eat in or take away. There are lots of coastal walks around the area and beautiful beaches. The perfect place to escape.

This property exceeded expectations, inside the cabin was a handy booklet with details of things to do in the area and other helpful information also a shed next to the car park which had all amenities and equipment we could possibly need, the owners really thought about everything! The hot tub was heated on arrival which was lovely, would 100% recommend.

Really enjoyed our stay over Christmas at SN. Good communication with Jo via sms before arrival. Very happy when we arrived at SN, everything was exactly what we expected from the information we received from the web site. The property was spotlessly clean, comfy bed with high quality linen and the hot tub was the perfect place to relax. Great location, with a lovely friendly pub with great food and atmosphere (thank you to Tim and his staff) just a 20 minute walk away, all in all, we had a great time and we will be back.

We had such a wonderful time staying at Squirrel Nutkin. Our hosts were incredibly kind and always a text away, and the cabin itself was beautiful. We made the most of the hot tub, explored the woods and took a rather wet and windy walk to the pub. Would highly recommend!

Our third time staying at the property. It’s set in a beautiful wood with stunning views of the country side beyond, but is in easy reach of the coast. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay an enjoyable experience.
We would highly recommend staying at the property ??

Our stay at Squirrel Nutkin couldn’t have been any better. The location is serene, so peaceful and quiet with stunning views. It was beautiful sitting in the hot tub looking out at the scenery. The accommodation was spotlessly clean. Everything is clearly very well looked after, including us as guests - Jo and Brian couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome and to have looked after us during our stay. They are fantastic hosts with a phenomenal spot at Roe Wood. The lodge is also a great location to explore northern Cornwall, we went somewhere spectacular on each day of our 6 day trip, so it’s ideal whether you want to explore or just stay in, relax and take in the surroundings. We hope very much to return and would recommend Squirrel Nutkin to anyone.

Absolutely wonderful break at Squirrel Nutkin. Property has everything you could need and even little things like binoculars for spotting birds and wildlife.
A surreal experience on my last evening sitting in the hot tub watching a doe and fawn walking around a matter of meters away from me.
The Crown in Lanlivery is welcoming and friendly with good food and the local farm shop is definitely worth a visit.

This place is a little piece of heaven, even better than the photos portray. It is very private and the views are great. We found it extremely comfortable and would have liked to have stayed longer than a week.
The hot tub is great for star gazing and we were lucky enough to see some of the Persaid showers as well as loads of satellites. The EV charger was a necessity for taking all the hassle out of finding places to charge and the location is great for visiting lots of what Cornwall has to offer.
The hosts are lovely and all the communication around the booking was spot on.
Highly recommended!

This is the second time we have now stayed at this property and it always exceeds out expectations. This is our happy place.
There is plenty of privacy, it's perfectly set up for two people, plenty of equipment, a hot tub and stunning views.
We both woke up really early one morning and managed to spot some tawny owls swooping round the front of the property!
Sunday we popped down to the local farm shop, and they actually had a food van serving loaded roast potatos (which of course we had to try).
We will be back again!

We have stayed at Roe Wood 4 times now. It is the perfect place if you want peace and quiet and time to just chill and relax. There are lovely walks around the woods or plenty of beaches and towns to explore a short drive away. In the evening you can hear the owls and we saw a bat this time too. Stargazing and spotting shooting stars from the hot tub is always fun. Everything is spotless and always plenty of wood for the fire. If there are any small problems Jo the owner is always very helpful. We're already looking to come back in the new year.

Squirrel Nutkin at Roe Wood is a beautiful place to relax. This is our second time staying here and we have just booked for next year. The setting is so peaceful and the owners have thought of everything to ensure your comfort. The owners are so welcoming and friendly and on hand if you have any problems. The decor is beautiful and it is spotlessly clean. The hot tub is checked everyday. The property is not far from beautiful Fowey and the historic quay of Charlestown

Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing and idealic.
Great views, excellently equipped lodge, fantastic hot tub and outdoor area.
Helpful hosts and good value for money.
There are only two lodges on this site so if you just want a quiet relaxing getaway and enjoy the surrounding area this place is for you.
Would 100% recommend and will be back.

Great for a relaxing break in a remote surrounding. The cabin was to a high standard. It was perfect for a four night break away. The walk to the pub through the woods in the dark with a torch was fun - walking boots are a must! The hot tub after the walk back from the pub was perfect!

Squirrel Nutkin cabin is ideal if you are looking for a peaceful relaxing break. The cabin is spotlessly clean, luxurious & cosy. The kitchen is very well equipped.

A wonderful place to stay. The lodge was amazing, well equipped, comfortable and beautifully clean. If you’re after a relaxing place to stay, then Squirrel Nutkin won’t disappoint you. The views are stunning, watching the sunrise was so peaceful, just the sound of bird’s singing . Relaxing in the hot tub, early morning, or after a long coastal walk was bliss. We were very lucky that we had the most amazing weather for the week, and made good use of all the outside space, chilling on the decking after an evening BBQ, or enjoying a leisurely breakfast before heading off out for the day. It is well positioned for visiting many places. Fowey, Lanhydrock House, Eden Project, and of course lots of stunning coastal walks. We are looking forward to returning again soon.

We stayed in Foxy Loxy last year and went for Squirrel Nutkin this year, both cabins are stunning but a little more privacy at Squirrel Nutkin. The cabin was beautiful, well equipped, hot tub was fab with lovely views. The owners are fantastic and only at the end of the phone if you need them. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Absolutely amazing place! So peaceful, lodge beautiful, very well equipped and so comfortable.
Such beautiful surroundings, and lovely walks on your door step.
We heard owls and lots of bird song.
We cannot wait to return again!
Highly recommend The Crown Inn, which is a short walk from squirrel nutkin.
We had a lovely meal there twice over our stay, the food was amazing and staff lovely.

A lovely stay as always. We usually stay in Foxy Loxy but went to the other end of the meadow to stay in Squirrel Nutkin and it did not disappoint. Everything you need is supplied as well as a lovely little surprise waiting for us. The views are spectacular, especially from the hot tub. The local pub, The Crown is welcoming and the food is very good. Lots of lovely walks and beaches nearby to explore. If you are looking for a special place to escape for a few days this is certainly the perfect place.

We stayed in Foxy Loxy in March this year and squirrel Nutkin at Christmas.
The owners go that extra mile to make sure you are happy with everything and nothing is ever too much trouble if there’s ever a problem, Communication was extremely quick we needed a torch and Jo came over and sorted it promptly….The attention to detail is remarkable and we had a lovely welcome gift too…..Jo is efficient ,friendly and helpful.
Hot tub is bliss and Jo keeps it extremely clean and well maintained.
Lanhydrock house and garden is close by and well worth a visit and does lovely coffee and cake…also there are lovely woodland and riverside walks.
Fowey is a beautiful place to visit and we had lunch in The Galleon which was excellent….
The location is good for exploring north cornwall…..and walking the coastal paths.
We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place to stay as your base.

amazing stay, most amazing cabin and so cosy definitely will return the only thing is the hot tub wasn’t checked like the sheet said and on the last morning the hot tub was green and smelt due to the lack of chlorine, but we should of said but as we never had a hot tube and didn’t realise it was going green but as the sheet said someone was going to check it each day but apart from that it was amazing and definitely recommend

We loved staying at this cottage, it was perfect for two people. We were on honeymoon and the location provided us with all the privacy, peace and tranquility that we needed.

Squirrel Nutkin at Roe Wood is an amazing property in a fabulous setting. The stunning views across the fields to the sea are amazing. The owners have thought of everything, the property is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Jo the owner sent a welcoming text message to us, so we had a contact number if we had any problems. There was a lovely welcome pack in the fridge. The information pack was well laid out with lots of information on the surrounding area and instructions on how to use the hot tub. Its the perfect bolt hole to explore Cornwall. Already booked for 2023

We have just returned from a lovely 4 night stay at Squirrel Nutkin and wished it could have been for longer. This property is a pure delight set in woodland with the bonus of a hot tub on the decking which we used every day! Luckily we had fantastic weather last week, not too hot but lovely warm & sunny days. There was everything we needed. It was spotless and the owners have thought of everything right down to "the porter", the pink wheelbarrow??to transport our luggage and food boxes from the car. Met Jo as we were leaving and she was so warm & friendly. We would definitely like to return. Sue & Dave (Southampton)

We had a great long weekend break in Squirrel Nutkin cabin and would highly recommend it .
Never had such a relaxing holiday ! The cabin is a perfect antidote to everyone’s busy life but still has the advantage of WiFi !!
High spec accommodation, great location, excellent communication from the lovely owners and somewhere you can park up and not leave for the duration of your stay .
If you are tempted to explore the local area without getting in the car then would highly recommend The Crown Inn Lanlivery for food and Colwith Farm Distillery for a guided tour and testings.

Squirrel Nutkin was above and beyond our expectations, every facility and luxury has been a joy to remember. We eventually ventured out of our snugly haven and followed a short-ish path leading up to Helman Tor, with amazing panoramic views across Cornwall. We were intrigued by the friendly Belted Galloway Cattle and were delighted by beautiful weather we received all weekend. We also walked to The Lanlivery Crown Inn and had a very friendly and welcoming reception. The time we enjoyed has been really good for us, both as a de-stress and a much needed pause. We will keenly look for future availability and may keep a close eye on this.
Thanks and best Regards to , Jon & Lydia

We had a great stay at Squirrel Nutkin during the rainy first week of January. The cabin is super cosy and warm, and equipped with everything you need, as well as some lovely touches like robes for the hot tub and tea and local chocolate.
We travelled there by train, and owners Jo and Brian were really kind in giving us lifts to and from the station, and even the Eden Project one day, which saved us a small fortune in cabs. They also recommended a lovely local farm shop (Colwith) which is well stocked and within walking distance. We also walked to the Crown Inn, which is very old and cosy with lovely staff. Bring wellies for the walk, and look out for lots of robins on the way!
The cabin has a gorgeous view out across the meadows and to the sea in the distance, and some long tailed tits visit the bird feeder every day, which you can watch through the binoculars provided. We also saw kestrels and bats and heard owls. The hot tub is great, and on a clear night out there the stars are amazing, as there is so little light pollution. The decking can be cold and slippery when wet so bring sliders/flip flops.
We would recommend Squirrel Nutkin to everyone, it’s perfect for hunkering down and enjoying the hot tub and view (or the smart TV if it’s really rainy), or getting out and exploring Cornwall as it’s so close to so many nice places. Thanks again to Jo and Brian for being so kind and helpful, it was lovely to meet you.

I honestly cannot praise this place enough, it was perfect. It is extremely well equipped, warm, under bed storage for clothes, washing machine for you and the other lodge to use, clothes rail to dry clothes, iron and ironing board, unlimited logs for log burner, hottub was clean and hot with baths robes.
Very comfy bed and sofa, good size fridge, freezer, oven and hobs. We cooked here every night for a week. The lodge is much more spacious than expected and the TV is on a hinge to pull towards sofa.
Although, it is in a forest and very dark. We kept the sliding door open every evening because we felt very safe and secure. We heard owls and birds every morning, it was fantastically peaceful and beautiful.
Owners were very helpful and text back very quickly. They were not intrusive and text to ask if it’s okay to check hot tub if they knew you were still in.
I cannot wait to be back!!!

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Squirrel Nutkin completely exceeded our expectations. The setting is absolutely beautiful and the lodge- oh my goodness- every little thing has been thought about. We couldn’t believe how lovely it was inside. The Prosecco was a lovely touch, especially it being our first time away by ourselves without any children or a dog in over 5 years!! After this last year of craziness we were actually able to spend some quality time together and actually relax! We have already recommended you and passed details on to our friends and hope to come and stay again! Thank you!

Squirrel Nutkin is in a beautiful location, stunning views and very peaceful. The cottage itself was extremely clean and comfortable, Jo was very welcoming and happy to help. The hot tub was wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay, really quiet and private. We would love to visit again.

A beautiful property with incredible views, wonderfully secluded and everything you need for cooking and relaxation and peace and quiet! We didn’t see much nature but it was raining daily when we were there so that’s understandable.. but my gf did see a deer when we went for a short walk on the trail! Location relevant to amenities is perfect. Literally a 5 min drive to local farm shops. And around a 15 min drive to more central Bodmin. A great hub to explore Cornwall from.

Wonderful accommodation in an idyllic spot. Spotlessly clean, lovely welcome pack and Jo the host was very helpful - even letting us know that the accommodation was available earlier then the check in time. The cabin has everything you need for a relaxing stay and was within a 10 minute stroll to Lanlivery a village and the Crown pub. Highly recommend and only wish we could have stayed longer.

Had a lovely week staying at Squirrel Nutkin! Facilities were excellent..... all you could possibly need! Owner Jo really friendly!
Weather was warm so never got the chance to use little hobbit wood heater.... maybe next time!
Perfectly situated for sightseeing and then relaxing in hot tub over looking beautiful scenery afterwards!

Beyond expectations.
Every aspect was thought about and executed with style and panache. Not a single fault, niggle or annoyance. Thank you for a wonderful week at Squirrel Nutkin.

This was our third attempt to stay at Squirrel Nutkin & wish we could have arranged a longer stay! The place is ideal for a kick back and chill break. Loved the view, loved the tranquility, loved the walk to the pub, not so much the walk back up! We even had deer run past our door every morning. It's spacious, well equipped & comfortable & the Hot Tub was an added delight!

Lovely stay in a modern cabin with good facilities. It was very peaceful. The jacuzzi was great, even in the rain. Local amenities nearby. Two good pubs for meals if you don't feel like cooking. Would love to go back again. We had a wonderful birthday/anniversary meal in the Longstore Restaurant in Charlestown which is well worth a visit. Mussels to die for. We had a very enjoyable week and recommend Squirrel Nutkins wholeheartedly.

We had a wonderful week away, the cabin is furnished really well and has everything you need and more. It is in such a beautiful location, you really feel like you can get away from it all, while still being within reach of some great places to eat and explore.

We have just come back from a wonderful stay at Squirrel Nutkin. The location was peaceful and private, and the hot tub was an excellent feature.
The amenities were second to none, the owners have thought of everything - right down to a hose to clean wetsuits, skewers for marshmallows around the fire pit, and a DAB radio with Bluetooth connection. Overall it was such a pleasant experience!

Peaceful and tranquil with lots to do right on the doorstep. Close to Lanhydrock, the Eden Project, Charlestown, Lostwithiel, Fowey and St Austell. Still feels like you’re away from the rush though!
