This dreamy glamping retreat is the perfect place to call home for a little while. The artistic owners have cleverly crafted this hideaway by using a whole array of upcycled features. The perfect eco-escape! The layout is truly unique and allows the two of you to have plenty of space. The bedroom and ensuite are within the handcrafted hut, and the cabin hosts the kitchen and living area. We love the shabby chic interiors which echo the natural surroundings of the hideaway perfectly, but, our favourite feature has to be the sumptuous hot tub. Romantic moments under the stars await...

Shepherd’s hut and cabin with a hot tub in Cornwall: Perched in a meadow with sweeping vistas of Cornwall’s countryside, is where this magical retreat awaits. Sink into the hot tub after a day of exploring and soak up the heavenly ambience surrounding your hidden haven.
Overview
Step Inside
As you climb the steps to the covered decking you won’t know which area to explore first. To the left, you have the sweet shepherd’s hut. Step inside and prepare to be greeted by the most beautiful colour pallet of soft greens and warm woody tones. The comfy double bed sits in the centre of the room and is adorned in crisp white linens, promising you the perfect night's rest. At the far end of the hut, you’ll find the lovely ensuite shower room.
To enter the cabin, pop back outside and head left. There’s no need to worry about the weather while staying here, as the decking is covered. Whether sunshine or rain is forecast, you can hop between the shepherd’s hut and cabin with total ease. Within the cabin, you will find the well-equipped kitchen and pretty sitting area. There’s a kettle, fridge with ice compartment, electric hob and a Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 Flip Mini Oven. To the left of this space, is where the gorgeous sofa and rustic coffee table sit, just the spot to indulge in your new book while sipping a morning cuppa. Why not slide the doors open as the sun begins to rise and listen to the birds as they sing their morning melody...
Outdoors
The outside space at this pocket of paradise is a complete dream. From the covered decking (the perfect spot for romantic alfresco feasting) to the quirky fire pit barbecue… magical moments from dawn till dusk await. The meadow in which the hideaway is nestled in, is also home to the owner's characterful ducks. There’s a lovely pond to relax by and plenty of cut grass areas for you to enjoy a picnic in the golden evening light. The hideaway boasts a wide vista of Cornwall’s rolling countryside which is best admired from the bubbling hot tub. As night falls and the stars start to sparkle, hop in with a glass of your favourite and while away the hours under the moonlight.
Spend laid-back afternoons in the onsite games room, fully equipped with a dartboard, table tennis, and a smart TV. Get creative with an abstract art workshop - paint, print, sketch, and collage while enjoying a cream tea and views of the countryside. Or, if relaxation is more your style, book a soothing sauna session followed by a refreshing cold water plunge. Both available to book with the owner upon arrival.
Eco-features
The hideaway has been cleverly crafted by the creative owner using a whole array of upcycled features. Such as scaffold poles, reclaimed wood and metal, and repurposed doors and windows. The cabin also has a living roof and the owners have planted an abundance of wildflowers and trees to encourage native wildlife, birds and bees.
Explore
Vista Paris is positioned perfectly for exploring both the north and south coast of Cornwall. The location doesn’t really get more central. For beach lovers, on the north coast, you’ll find the sandy shores of Watergate Bay, a popular spot for those who love to catch a wave. Mawgan is also around a 20-minute drive away, as well as Holywell Bay and Crantock. After a day of lazing on Crantock Beach, why not stop for a bite to eat at Jam Jar Kitchen? Serving the best-woodfired pizzas and Aperol spritz around, here you’ll enjoy a true taste of Italy during your time in Cornwall.
Padstow is around half an hour away and is well worth a visit. From the famous Camel Trail to the array of postcard-pretty shops and delicious eateries, there’s so much to explore! On the south coast, you’ll find the picturesque villages of Mevagissey and Gorran Haven. Pack your walking boots and enjoy a coastal stomp before stopping in at a local pub for a good old-fashioned pint. And, for those who love to explore a botanical garden, the likes of The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan aren’t far.

We loved the venue and enjoyed the view and use of the field (with added ducks), hot tub, sauna and games room. Big thanks to Darren and Wendy for being such hospitable hosts helping us enjoy a holiday break only affected by some really fierce rain and winds on two of our five days there. We would love to come back again in the future.

The owner gave us a tour and a very warm welcome of the cottage and as very helpful in showing us the facilities.
The cottage has everything we needed during our stay.
There was a spectacular view all round especially from the bedroom and the hot tub.
For us it was the perfect retreat.

Vista Paris was just what we needed. A cozy, peaceful getaway with stunning views, only 15 minutes from the beach. The hot tub made the stay even better.
I would definitely recommend Vista Paris!

We had such an amazing stay, the weather helped massively! The location is great, very peaceful. About 15/20 mins drive to nearest beach. Pub is basically at the end of the drive! We didn’t eat there, the hut had everything we needed and we cooked plenty in our short stay, steak and jackets, blt club sandwiches, sausage sandwiches and eggs, avocado and toast. The hot tub is a huge plus point!! The hosts were very pleasant, they had left scones and jam/cream which was lovely!
The hut is well equipped, comfy bed, shower was surprisingly powerful and all kitchen appliances etc are new and clean. Would 100% recommend and go back!

Perfect base to explore the north coast of Cornwall. Very close to a lot of towns, beaches and attractions whilst also having the privacy and tranquility of meadow as an option. The Shepard's hut & cabin have all the facilities needed with high quality equipment. The covered decking area and hot tub are perfect to relax after a day exploring the Cornish coastline.

My Husband and I returned last week from a lovely stay at Vista Paris, the owner was lovely and we had a delicious cream tea on arrival, so thoughtful.

We had an amazing week at Vista Paris! We used the bus to explore Cornwall which was very convenient with a stop just at the end of the road. Darren and Wendy are so accommodating and the hut has everything you could need and more. The attention to detail was amazing which made for a lovely environment. The terrace is perfect for sitting out in and enjoying the lovely views, and the hot tub even better! We will definitely be back :)

A delightful perfect getaway, the owners have thought of everything and were so friendly and welcoming. The hut is small but perfectly formed, spotlessly clean and cream tea on arrival- perfect. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you so much

A big thank you to Darren and Wendy for making our stay at Vista Paris a wonderful experience. It’s the perfect getaway location and everything about the cabin has been meticulously thought about. It is equipped with everything you need for a perfect little getaway plus more, and is perfectly situated in a location with plenty on the doorstep!
It’s clear Darren and Wendy take a lot of pride in what they’ve created and this shines through in their hospitality and attention to detail. Would definitely recommend Vista Paris.

I would highly recommend Visita Paris to anyone. It was so peaceful the couple who own it are lovely. Really made me and my girlfriend feel at home. The hot tub is great. And only a short drive to multiple beaches.
Would definitely be going back

My partner and I booked Vista Paris for a weekend away to take a relaxing break from our busy life. It was everything we could have wished for! The hot tub was perfect to wind down of an evening with beautiful views. We used the barbecue which was perfect and then used it to toast marshmallows with a hot chocolate . The bed was super comfy. The weather let us down unfortunately but having the shelter over the decking meant we had all meals outside regardless. Very romantic and gorgeous property. Would 100% book again!
