Perfect for freshening up after a day on the water. And when it's time to rest your head, sink into the sumptuous double bed and luxurious linens, which promise a peaceful night's sleep. When the dawn chorus calls, pop the kettle on, open the French doors and climb back into bed with a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

Outdoors

Breathe in the fresh countryside meadow views and listen to the radio as you awake in your heavenly hut and start to think about the day's adventures. Why not stroll down to Weir Beach (only a five-minute walk from the hut) and embrace an early morning, wild swim at this hidden little cove, before returning to cook a scrumptious brunch to be enjoyed alfresco. Once you arrive, there's really no need to step back into your car as there's so much to explore in the local area, by foot, kayak, stand up paddle board or boat. Or, we wouldn't blame you if you simply wanted to stay put at your private retreat and while away the hours with a good book. Once the suns glow slowly begins to fade, pour yourself a glass of your favourite and perch upon the hand carved love seat, light the rustic fire pit and enjoy a unique cooking experience with a dazzlingly sea view as your backdrop.

It really doesn't get more romantic than a retreat to Pippin. Star lit evenings, toasting marshmallows upon the fire pit await, as well as gentle strolls to the Pandora inn (the most picturesque pub in Cornwall which is only 10 minutes' walk away), picnics in the meadow, leisurely lie ins and sunny beach days. The hut is also dog-friendly, meaning your beloved four legged friend doesn't have to miss our on the adventure! We told you, there's nowhere in the world like Pippin.
