The Little Cider House

In a tapestry woven by nature, The Little Cider House is just perfect for outdoor-lovers seeking family escapes and getaways with friends. Wrapped in private acres of wildflower meadows, pastures and woodland, it promises spellbinding views at every turn and welcomes five guests across wonderfully handcrafted living spaces. Settle into the light-filled interiors where rustic charm meets maritime romance and embrace a relaxed agenda for each day. Only 5 miles from Fowey, this dog-friendly hideaway is ideally located for local adventures and exploring some of South Cornwall’s most beautiful countryside and coast. Spend magical hours discovering the wealth of things to see and do nearby, and when you’re ready to return, let the lure of the outdoor fire pit, barbecue, and bubbling hot tub entice you back for mindful moments in your own private pocket of paradise.

Nestled beneath stunning vaulted ceilings, the thoughtfully designed living spaces of The Little Cider House exude peace and tranquillity, warmed in the chillier months by underfloor heating and a wood burner. Bathed in neutral tones with notes of nautical blue, its calming composition pays homage to both the cabin’s country roots and the seaward waterways of the River Fowey nearby. With everything you need for staycation bliss, the open-plan living space features a fully-equipped kitchen, complete with a gas hob, gas oven (with electric grill), fridge, kettle, toaster, and dishwasher. Rustle up platefuls of wholesome local fare and gather together over the foldout dining table inside, or head outside around the parasol-topped picnic table for alfresco feasts.
When day turns to dusk, find two beautiful bedrooms in The Little Cider House for nights of blissful slumber. The first, the master bedroom, features a king-size bed tucked behind a partial partition with pretty floral design and verdant views. Ideal for children, the second bedroom has a sweet triple bunkbed in a clever crisscross design. Finishing the picture is a modern family bathroom with a waterfall shower.

Step outside The Little Cider House to uncover a rural idyll just perfect for eschewing modern life and reconnecting with nature with your loved ones by your side. Make a celebration of each morning with relaxed rituals on the sun-dappled deck, from slow vinyasa stretches to quiet moments with mugs brimming with something delicious. When you’re ready to explore, the private grounds surrounding the cabin blend with manicured and untamed wilderness for serene walks in the open air as birds chatter in the trees. Meanwhile, the outdoor fire pit and barbecue are a dream for leisurely lunches and sun-soaked suppers of local, flame-grilled fare and plump, toasted marshmallows. For utmost relaxation, disappear into the cosy embrace of the hammock and the pages of your favourite book, or sink into the bubbling depths of the outdoor hot tub for alfresco luxuriation as feathery clouds drift lazily across the sky above.
