A truly romantic getaway tucked in the corner of a luscious meadow with exclusive sea views; this fabulous shepherd's hut really is the ultimate destination.

Nestled in the beautiful countryside in a dreamy location, with only the wildlife as your neighbours and a quiet tidal beach only moments away, you will not want to leave Pippin's warm and welcoming arms.

As you approach your destination through verdant lanes in this Outstanding Area of Natural Beauty you will feel like a true traveller, which is the meaning of Pippin. As you leave your car in the charming old quarry and walk up through the wildflower meadow you will see Pippin awaiting your arrival and the view over the tranquil estuary open up in front of you.

This truly unique and private location really has all you need; bask in the morning sun with your morning coffee on the hand-carved love seat after your morning dip or take a perch on the steps perhaps. There is a fabulous fire-pit perfectly set up for two, where you can enjoy a true fire cooked meal or perhaps toast your marshmallows and gaze at the stars together. The meadow provides plenty of space and is a great spot to have a picnic in the gentle summer sunshine. This is the perfect place for your four-legged friends to run free too but please be aware at certain times of year there are cattle in the other half of the meadow - this will be fenced off but please take care.

Inside this charming hut there is ultimate comfort - sink into the cosy double bed with only the rustling trees to lull you to sleep, the bench seat provides the perfect spot to sit and look at the view on the cooler days but fear not as there is a little wood-burner to ensure you are kept toasty at any time of year. Luxury has not gone amiss with of course an en suite loo and shower at Pippin.

There is much to enjoy from this location on foot, The Pandora Inn, a waterside award-winning pub, is only a short walk from the hut. You also have many beautiful footpaths to enjoy exploring, perhaps wander along to Mylor Harbour for a delicious ice cream. If you fancy exploring by water, perhaps bring along your kayaks or paddleboards and paddle along the hidden creeks that have not changed over hundreds of year - you can even paddle to the pub if you fancy! (Please do take care with the wind and tides).
