Widegates Escape

Tucked in peaceful countryside near Looe, Cornwall, this cosy glamping hideaway is perfect for couples looking to switch off and unwind. Wander through the countryside or head to nearby beaches like Seaton, Hannafore, East Looe or Plaidy (all within 5 miles) for sea swims, lazy picnics and ice creams. The quaint seaside town of Looe is only 4 miles away and is great for pottering around the harbour, sourcing fresh fish or browsing little shops. If you want more adventure, try the South West Coast Path (5 miles) to marvel at panoramic sea views, explore the stone circles near Minions (11 miles) or visit the cascading waters of Golitha Falls (10.5 miles). Plymouth (18 miles) is an easy trip too for a day out in a city.

Slide off sandy shoes, and enter inside this gorgeous, cosy hut, where a light-flooded open-plan space invites you to forget your worries. Unwind on the sofa with a mug of coffee in hand. The kitchen area is well-equipped, where you have a two-ring electric hob, a fridge/freezer, and a microwave to help you rustle up a hearty meal. On one side of the lodge, an elegant shower room with a shower and WC is excellent for washing off adventures, while on the opposite side, an integrated king-size bed provides a deep night’s sleep and under-bed storage. The sofa converts into a comfy double bed suitable for children.

Each morning, throw open the rustic doors and discover your daily dose of countryside views and sea panoramas. Enjoy a sundowner on the double egg chair, before congregating around the fire pit for toasted treats. The picnic table is perfect for alfresco breakfasts in the sunshine. The property has access to 1 private parking space.
