First up on our list of unusual places to stay in Cornwall is Mount View Sunrise Safari Tent. One of our sea-view glamping retreats in Cornwall, we love this safari tent for its amazing views over the fairy-tale St Michael’s Mount, its next-level home comforts and its cosy-luxe vibes. If you ever thought that glamping in the UK was a little lacking in the ‘glam’ – think again. This family-friendly safari tent has private sleeping areas, a wood-fired range, a come-hither sofa and an outdoor hot tub.

This instantly captivating airstream had to make it onto our list of unique places to stay in Cornwall, it’s as beautiful with a spring backdrop of multi-coloured flowers as with autumn’s russet tones. While inside, the soothing neutral hues, wood burner and sumptuous furnishings exude homely vibes, outside the sleek retro exterior, the quirky barbecue and bubbling hot tub tease our wild sides. A real American beauty in Cornwall, this unique stay with its woodland and countryside views is perfect for both romantic escapes and rejuvenating solo breaks.

Skylark is just a little bit special. This quaint tiny house has an abundance of unique charm. From the colourful interiors to the spellbinding sea view, as soon as you arrive you are sure to fall in love. There's an antique wood burner to keep you cosy during the cooler months and plenty of outdoor space for your pooch to roam freely. Just a short distance away is the bustling maritime town of Falmouth. Spend your days exploring the independents and checking out the abundance of gorgeous coffee shops, before a soulful evening back at your hideaway under the moonlight. 

 

Wildwood Hideaway | Rock | Cabin | Dog friendly | Wood burner | Sleeps 2

Wildwood Hideaway in Rock Cornwall

For more unique stays in Cornwall, turn your attention to Wildwood Hideaway near Rock. Nestled within a peaceful wooded landscape within 200 acres of countryside, this magical log cabin is as inviting as they come. In the morning, wake up to a dawn chorus of birdsong and sip coffee as bright shards of sunlight pierce through the branches, and in the evening, cuddle up by the indoor wood burner and sink into a blissful stupor – a world away from the demands of everyday life.

 

Ramehead Lookout | Whitsand Bay | Quriky house | Hot tub | Sea views | Dog friendly | Wood burner | Sleeps 2

The stunning sea view at Ramehead Lookout, Cornwall

Ramehead Lookout has to be one of our most unique hideaways in Cornwall. Perched atop a cliff next to a Coast Watch Station on the Rame Head Peninsula, this quirky house overlooks the gorgeous Whitsand Bay beach.  After a dip in the ocean, warm up in the hot tub back at your coastal retreat and soak up the salt-kissed ambience. This is the perfect place to unwind for a few days.

 

Mistery 2 | Falmouth | Houseboat | Sea views | Sleeps 4 

The magical Mistery 2 houseboat in Cornwall

One of our favourite quirky places to stay in Cornwall is Mistery 2, an outstanding houseboat lovingly designed and created by seasoned shipwrights. Featuring a luxurious open-plan living and dining area, with two bedrooms (for up to four people) and two shower rooms, it’s everything you could wish for and more from an ultra-comfy home-from-home, on water. Gently lapped by the meandering River Kennal, this stationary houseboat has dropped anchor in a magical tidal creek and awaits for a unique stay unlike any other. 

 

The Lion’s Den at Warleggan | Lostwithiel | Shepherd's hut | Hot tub | Dog-friendly | Wood burner | Sleeps 5

The Lion's Den at Warleggan, a family hideaway in Cornwall

If glamping with a hot tub is the only way to go for you, we honestly can’t blame you. So, imagine then, if you could enjoy hot tub glamping in the most tranquil of settings with all the family. Cue The Lion’s Den at Warleggan. This gorgeous shepherd’s hut in Cornwall is like a scene plucked from a summer dream. Secluded, stylish and oh-so serene, it’s the kind of place that will immediately ease your mind and lift your spirits. Bubbles, anyone?

 

Blackberry Jack’s Wagon | Portreath | Wagon | Sleeps 2

Blackberry Jack's Wagon in Cornwall

We all know that the health benefits of glamping in nature are as manifold as they are profound, which is one of the reasons why we love this cute wagon so much. That, and the charmingly pretty interiors. And the gorgeous countryside setting. Oh, and the seriously cute donkey neighbours. Only 2 miles from the golden sands of Porthtowan, yet enjoying peaceful isolation in a private orchard, it has everything you could need for a restorative break – including your very own kitchen cabin next door.

Porth Krow | Falmouth | Cabin | Sea Views | Sleeps 2

The beautiful sea view at Porth Krow

And last, but certainly not least we have Porth Krow. Our final hideaway in Cornwall with sweeping sea views, this eco-friendly cabin is a dream come true for those seeking somewhere out of the ordinary. The interiors are gorgeous and the outside space is simply a dream. Not far from the likes of Flushing and Mylor, you can spend your days on a coastal adventure before retreating back to your cosy cabin, snuggling in around the outdoor wood burner and cooking something seasonal on the barbecue. Magical moments await...
