Widegates Retreat

This cosy getaway, nestled in the Cornish countryside, is an idyllic retreat for any couple or small family. It makes the perfect base for exploring southern Cornwall, whether you're itching to adventure through the inland or the coastline. Just 4 miles away is the fishing harbour town of Looe, where scenic woodlands, boat trips and a wide sandy beach provide days of sun, sea and surf. Further along the coast, Polperro (8 miles) offers independent stores and salt-and-vinegar-doused fish and chips. The South West Coast Path can be joined just 5 miles away at Seaton Beach, giving you a multitude of camera-worthy viewpoints and plenty of fascinating stops along the route. The historic city of Plymouth (18 miles) has many attractions including the National Maritime Aquarium, Barbican Waterfront, Hoe Park and Theatre Royal Plymouth, while the outdoorsy guests may want to seek out the 18 greens at the golf club (2 miles) or head inland to Bodmin Moor, a walker’s paradise.

Leave the digital world behind and immerse yourself in this elevated holiday home on this quiet and pretty glamping site. Glorious sea and countryside views, merged with rustic design, stylish furnishings and calming colour palettes, create a hideaway to remember. Straight ahead is the pocket-sized kitchenette, with a two-ring electric hob, microwave and under-counter fridge/freezer. Rustle up meals here to serve up at the bench-style dining table. For cosy nights in, sip your hot cocoa while playing board games and planning your holiday activities. When you're ready for bed, retire to the king-size bedroom – at this property there is an option to convert the cabin's dining table into another king-size bed for alternative sleeping arrangements or additional guests. Each morning, a hot, steaming shower awaits you in the shower room and WC before you head out on adventures.

Outside this delightful hut is a peaceful setting for relaxing with a book or enjoying alfresco meals at the picnic table. Admire countryside views as you rock gently in the double swinging egg chair or gather around the fire pit for a flame-grilled feast. This gorgeous retreat provides parking for 1 car.
