Overview
Step Inside
No matter the season this magical hideaway will sweep you off your feet. The cosy interior will have you falling in love from the moment you arrive. With open plan living welcoming you warmly inside, you won't be able to help admire the wonderful craftsmanship of the cabin. The cosy wood-burner is sure to keep you warm whatever the weather and the well-equipped contemporary kitchen will have you whipping up romantic dinners for your favourite travel companion in no time! As the sun rises, brew a fresh cup of coffee to enjoy at the sweet dining table or why not head out to the patio and soak up the sweeping vistas as the world begins to wake. As you step through from the open plan living area to the bedroom, you will notice the calm aura of the cabin flows effortlessly into this space. With beautiful interiors and chic soft furnishings adorning the king-sized bed, the space oozes peace and tranquillity. The ensuite shower room is just the spot for refreshing after a day of adventures. There are even two fluffy bathrobes for you to use, promising that little bit of luxury you truly deserve.
Outdoors
As you step outside you can't help but stop to take in the beautiful view. The best spot to admire this? The alfresco bathtub. Forget the shower, if it was us, we would be bathing in nature from dawn till dusk! Pour yourself a glass of bubbles, sink into the dreamy tub and simply watch your worries melt away. On the patio you will also find a charcoal barbecue for outdoor cooking and a quirky wood-burner. As the sun begins to set, light the fire and cosy up with marshmallows and a steaming mug of sweet hot chocolate. The enclosed garden space is perfect for adventure seekers travelling with their four-legged friends. There's also a lovely private meadow to the left of the cabin where your well-behaved dog can burn off some energy!
Explore
As previously mentioned, the cabin is nestled in the very heart of Cornwall, within easy reach to the likes of The Eden Project and Heligan Gardens. For those who like to explore National Trust grounds, Lanhydrock and Trerice aren't far. If you're more of a beach goer, then you are in luck! The sandy shores of Mawgan Porth, Watergate Bay, Harlyn Bay and Porthcothan are worth exploring and all welcome dogs throughout the year. For a sprinkle of Cornish culture head to the likes of Charlestown Harbour, the fishing village of Mevagissey or the picturesque harbour town of Fowey. And finally, if eating in isn't really your thing then you are in luck. With the likes of Jam Jar Kitchen within easy reach, you'll love sitting in the Italian inspired courtyard and sipping on Aperol while you wait for your pizza to cook. The Foxes Revenge, an award-winning pub that welcomes dogs is also close by, serving a great array of wholesome local dishes and a warming ambiance. Whatever you get up to during your getaway, you will love returning to your quirky cabin and simply unwinding in nature, under the moonlight.

Ginger Hideaway was truly a home from home, the décor was beautiful and the owners have literally thought of everything.
The outside field was perfect for exercising the dog and the outdoor bath was bliss.
Location is ideal for travel to any coast and retail park nearby for shops

This is our second time at Ginger hideaway and we love it here, it's in a perfect position to get to all of Cornwall easily, we visited quite a few places on the Lizard this time as it's an area we haven't seen much of, totally recommend a visit it's beautiful.
When we returned it's such a comfortable property to relax in and the outside area was enjoyed by Lily our dog and we watched beautiful sunsets every evening.

We stayed at Ginger for 3 nights in mid may. The cabin is luxurious inside and very spacious - it feels excellent value for money.
The kitchen is superbly equipped and the bed is super comfortable.
Location cant be beaten either with so many beautiful beaches within 20 minutes.

Super place that is in an excellent location, easy access to both coasts and many places of interest.
The property was spotlessly clean and well decorated , with a relaxing vibe.
Handy enclosed patio for the dog with use of a paddock and field to exercise the dog a real bonus.
Friendly owners who greeted us but allowed us our own space.
We had an excellent holiday.

Ginger cottage is a fantastic little find , it’s very well set up with everything you think you would need for a stay away .The location is peaceful so you can enjoy your time sat on the patio
Its location allows you to visit any areas you want to see in any direction, with beaches within 15 minutes (Mawgan Porth was our favourite)
They are well set to accommodate your dogs and the enclosed garden is properly enclosed. The additional field to walk dogs is also very handy
The Main room is spacious with a well equipped kitchen with all the things you think you will need and more
The super kingsize bed is very comfy along with a decent en-suite …
The welcome pack of butter , bread , eggs & Milk is very welcome

The recliner sofa and jacuzzi bath were two additional details that we hadn't expected but were very pleased with.
The welcome pack on arrival was extremely thoughtful.
Every aspect of the property was delightful and we were genuinely upset to leave.
We cannot find another holiday cottage that compares and we will definitely be looking to rebook as and when we return to Cornwall.

We had a fantastic time away in the most comfortable hideaway.
The location is perfect for visiting all areas of Cornwall and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing every evening back here, enjoying time in the garden soaking in the outdoor bath and watching beautiful sunsets.
Our dog Lily enjoyed spending time laying out on the terrace.
We loved seeing the pigs and chickens nearby and the owners are very friendly.
We don't go back to the same place usually as we like to try other places but we are going to book up here for next year as we had such a lovely relaxing holiday. Thanks x

We were blown away by the facilities and attention to detail. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need, the fire was pre-prepared with logs and kindling for more, we even arrived to eggs, butter, bread and milk. We were truly able to rest, reset and escape from the everyday whirring and business of life. The location is incredible and allowed us quick access to so many beautiful Cornwall treasures. We would absolutely come back again and we highly recommend this as a getaway!

We loved our stay at Ginger Hideaway. It was a fantastic location, a gorgeous space and the bed and bedding were so so comfy. Everything we might have needed was there and our little dog loved the garden and I loved the outside tub, even on a windy wet night it was heavenly.

This property is beyond perfect, the hosts are wonderful and helpful.
We could not have hoped for a better stay in a perfect location.
During our stay we said we wanted to tell everyone about this property but also didn't as wanted to keep it our secret.

There was a thoughtful food package - eggs, bread and butter plus milk in the fridge - on arrival, which was very welcome.
The cabin was very well equipped - excellent supply of kitchen utensils, pots and pans and a useful utility room with helpful dog treats/dishes/sofa blanket etc. The bed was excellent, very large (one of the reasons we chose the property) and comfortable.
The patio area is safe for a dog and the adjoining grassy garden area is handy for ball throwing but the fence surrounding it is open so a dog can nip through it if they are an escape artist. If the owners were happy to put up some wire mesh it would be perfect. There is also a good sized exercise field available.
It's a good location for hopping off to various places - great beaches nearby, many dog friendly all year round. The owners live just across the way if you need anything.

Shhh! Don't tell everyone how lovely this place is. Ginger Hideaway is a perfect, peaceful retreat for a holiday in mid Cornwall. Everything you will need on holiday is provided which you don't always get in holiday properties. Nice welcome pack of milk, bread, eggs and butter. Would return.

The whole place is really homely and warm, with great views to the front. Great sitting out area.
Beautifully decorated with lots of individual touches which made it feel special.
Loved the sofa to recline on while watching TV or just relaxing. Very comfy bed.
Really dog friendly. Great to have use of the large enclosed field for the dog to run in.
Lots of space. Useful to have the 'boot room'.
Definitely recommend!

A lovely cottage, decorated to a high standard with lots of nice touches. We took our dog and it was ideal to have the fenced in garden so he could wander in and out without us worrying he might escape! The large field next to the property (not secure) was great for us to walk with him and throw a ball! Good location, easy to get to Mawgan Porth and Padstow , owners friendly and we really enjoyed our stay.

This cottage is the perfect escape for a couple or single person-particularly with dogs. In a beautiful rural area, it has been styled and furnished with great care/love and the attention to detail by the owners was clearly evident. All mod cons are up to date and there are too many ‘little extras’ to list but they all added to a superb experience. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!

we are so so happy we stumbled across ginger hideaway in search for a getaway.
it was absolutely stunning.
the location was perfect - so beautiful to be in the countryside and it felt ideal in that it was easy to get to places and we had so many options of where to explore!
the actual cabin is so beautiful, better than in the photos (if that is even possible) - everything was so stylish, comfortable, clean, excellent quality. it felt like everything had been thought of/considered in the way that it was designed.
it was lovely to have a secured outdoor space where we could let our puppy roam freely.
the hot tub/bath was also such a lovely addition!
10/10 - a memory we’ll forever cherish and would definitely recommend.
