Welcome to The Little Woodland House, a peaceful yet full-of-life glamping retreat nestled in the picturesque Fowey Valley. This thoughtfully crafted wooden cabin is ideal for a romantic escape for two (plus the dog), or a place where the whole family can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Cornwall’s great outdoors.

Surrounded by five acres of wildflower meadows, pastureland, woodland paths and a gently flowing brook there’s an abundance of opportunity for adventure. Or for those looking for a restful stay, you can spend sunny afternoons relaxing on comfortable loungers, enjoy the soothing babble of the hot tub, or while away summer evenings gently swaying in porch hammocks, basking in the golden glow of the setting sun.

Dining al fresco is a true delight at here, with every mealtime offering the chance to savour the great outdoors. Enjoy satisfying suppers under a twinkling sky, gather around the fire-pit for a leisurely barbecue, or venture out with a well-packed picnic to one of the many peaceful spots hidden among the meadows and trees - complete of course - with bottles of ginger beer, crusty bread, and all the nostalgic treats of a proper countryside outing.

Lovingly crafted by the welcoming, yet discreet owners, The Little Woodland House is as perfect on the inside as it is on the outside. The kitchen, with its whitewashed beams and rope lights, is perfectly equipped for the ultimate glamping experience, with a two-ring hob, oven, fridge and even a dishwasher, because who wants to wash up on holiday? There’s a cosy dining nook for those cooler evenings, when you’d rather eat inside and linger over a glass of wine and perhaps engage in a fiercely contested game of Scrabble. The wet-room features impressive tiles that create a quietly cocooning, almost cave-like atmosphere. The large drench-head shower offers a welcome retreat at the end of a day’s adventure; the perfect way to unwind before settling beside the warmth of the wood-burner for a cosy evening in.

There’s a sumptuous king-size bed, elegantly framed by a stylish bedstead and subtly set apart from the main living space. Here, beautiful wallpaper inspired by the surrounding woodland’s flora and fauna adds a gentle nod to the nature outside. At the opposite end of the cabin, little adventurers will discover a delightful bunkroom where the beds playfully criss-cross (note: one bunk measures 2'6", the others are 3'). With its storybook charm and cosy atmosphere, it promises giggles and whispered bedtime tales - though parents can rest easy - as the room comes with a proper door for peace and privacy.

It would be no surprise if you found it hard to tear yourself away from this rural retreat, yet the surrounding area offers a wealth of opportunities for further exploration in this truly special corner of Cornwall. Less than a mile away lies the historic riverside town of Lostwithiel, where you’ll find the dramatic ruins of its 12th Century castle, cared for by English Heritage. Often hailed as Cornwall’s antiques capital, the town charms visitors with its array of independent shops, welcoming pubs and lively farmers’ market. Nearby, the Duchy Nursery is well worth a visit, not only for its excellent selection of plants and delightful shop but also for its café, where you can enjoy seasonal dishes, afternoon teas or indulgent Sunday roasts.

The world-famous Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are within easy reach too, alongside Lanhydrock House and Estate, managed by the National Trust, offering extensive parkland, peaceful woodland walks and a grand historic house. Cyclists will find much to enjoy here too, with Lanhydrock’s network of trails and close by, Cardinham Woods providing excellent routes (bicycle hire is available).

Although set in a tranquil rural location, the property is close to Cornwall’s stunning south coast, with its sheltered coves, elegant sailing harbours and wooded river estuaries. Sunny seaside days can be spent at Polkerris (where you’ll find a pub on the beach!), Ready Money Cove, or the large expanse of beach at Carlyon Bay. Or spend your mornings exploring the quaint maritime town of Fowey with its chic cafés, artisan shops and abundance of traditional Cornish inns.
