This studio-style holiday pod is the perfect place for a couple to reconnect and spend time with their canine companions. Close to the Cornwall/Devon border, its bespoke interiors are complemented by a garden and terrace with stunning coastal views.
One of three pods sharing an organic dairy farm location, this romantic couple’s retreat offers an idyllic antidote to the everyday. Step inside and you’ll find a everything you need for an effortless stay, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining/sleeping area creating every opportunity for you to enjoy down-time together. Cook up a treat with freshly-bought local ingredients, snuggle up in front of the Smart TV or light the wood burner and gaze out to sea – you’ll never tire of the view from the fully-glazed doors and windows here. When it’s time to sleep an inviting king-size bed awaits; at the opposite end of the property the ultra-chic shower room will get your day off to a refreshing start. Doors from both the bedroom and kitchen areas lead onto a private terrace where there’s home-grown oak furniture, a BBQ and firepit. The fully enclosed lawn area will add peace of mind if you’re holidaying with four-pawed pals – up to three can be accommodated here – and a gate gives access to a further 5 acres of organic grassland. This property's eco credentials include solar power and a biomass boiler. To keep the property as energy efficient as possible it feature triple glazing and extra insulation in the walls. The owners are passionate about the environment, which can be seen in their wildlife friendly garden with wildflowers, which uses no pesticide or fertiliser, and furnishing the property with upcycled furniture.
The parish of Morwenstow is on the doorstep – take a stroll and you’ll find tea rooms, a 13th-century inn and a historic church. The eccentric 1800s parson and poet Robert Stephen Hawker made his home here for over three decades; on the nearby cliff edge he famously built a refuge – Hawkers Hut – which is now the smallest National Trust building to be visited in England. To the north and straddling the Devon-Cornwall border, the Marsland valley is a magical mix of woodland, coastline and butterfly-filled meadows. If you’d like to explore further afield, Bude is 9 miles south – one of North Cornwall’s premier coastal towns, it offers spotless beaches and excellent eateries.
