Bluebell

Originally built in Scotland for the travelling circus, Bluebell is a beautifully restored Showman’s Wagon with history woven into every panel. Once part of The World’s Fair, this charming hideaway now rests in a peaceful pocket of the Cornish countryside, offering a romantic escape steeped in nostalgia. Whether you’re soaking beneath the open sky in the outdoor bath or curling up beside the woodburner after a day of exploring, Bluebell invites you to slow down and savour the simple things. Tucked away in tranquil seclusion yet perfectly placed for adventure, this hidden haven is an ideal base for exploring Cornwall’s golden coastlines, quaint harbour towns, and wild, windswept beaches, before returning to your own slice of magic beneath the stars

Brimming with rustic charm and thoughtful touches, this soulful retreat offers comfort and warmth in every corner. The open-plan kitchen and living area is wrapped in wooden panelling and rich, earthy tones, creating a cosy, cocoon-like atmosphere that feels instantly inviting. Cook up nourishing, seasonal suppers in the fully equipped kitchen, using produce from the local farm shop, and serve on the classic Cornishware crockery. Spend mealtimes gathered around the intimate dining table for leisurely weekend breakfasts and relaxed dinners after a day by the sea.

As evening draws in, curl up on the sumptuous sofa with a good book or a board game, basking in the glow of the wood burner as it casts warmth across the room. Just beyond, the bedroom beckons with a king-size bed dressed in soft linens, promising a peaceful slumber and lazy lie-ins.

A few steps from the wagon, the light-filled bathroom offers plenty of space to refresh after salty swims or windswept walks. There’s a large walk-in shower, WC and wash basin, and a heated towel rail to keep towels toasty.

Tucked away in the peaceful countryside, the sun-soaked garden is a haven for slow, alfresco living, with views that stretch across rolling, verdant fields. Sink into the steamy alfresco bath as birdsong drifts on the breeze, or stretch out on a lounger with a book and a cool drink as the afternoon sun dances across the lawn. When evening falls, sip a sundowner by the fire pit or linger over an alfresco supper at the bistro table, for romantic meals beneath the stars.

Nestled in the heart of Cornwall’s countryside, this charming wagon makes the perfect base for slow, soulful adventures. From here, you’re within easy reach of some of the county’s most-loved spots. Wander the tropical biomes of The Eden Project or get lost among the blooms at the Lost Gardens of Heligan. For a step back in time, the National Trust’s Lanhydrock and Trerice estates offer peaceful woodland walks and beautiful historic homes.

If the coast is calling, golden beaches are just a short drive away. Discover Mawgan Porth, Watergate Bay, Harlyn and Porthcothan, where dogs are welcome year-round and wild swims are always on the cards. For a taste of Cornish charm, visit the harbour towns of Charlestown, Fowey and Mevagissey, where pastel cottages line the quays and fishing boats bob gently in the tide.

When it comes to food, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Enjoy freshly caught seafood in Padstow, home to the famous Rick Stein fish and chips, sip an Aperol in the sunny courtyard at Jam Jar Kitchen while your pizza crisps in the wood-fired oven, or head to The Tartan Fox, a dog-friendly local favourite known for its warm atmosphere and locally sourced fare.

Open plan living room with dining, kitchen and bedroom areas with a wood-burner and a dining table and chairs. Fully equipped kitchen with gas oven and 4-ring hob, kettle and Cornishware crockery. Bedroom with a king-size double bed (5’).

Adjacent to the wagon, there is a separate building with a walk-in shower, WC, wash basin and heated towel rail.
