About this property
Wainhouse Corner 2.5 miles. Set among the picturesque countryside in Broad Langdon, Cornwall lies Fern, a quaint and quirky shepherd's hut, perfect for a romantic retreat.

Inside the hut has an elevated bed with storage for your belongings, a compact shower room, and a handy kitchenette, so you can whip up a quick lunch to enjoy outside or out on your adventures. Make the most of the garden; filled with wildflowers and plenty of seating, your morning coffee out in the fresh air will feel that bit more special, while your evenings can be spent gazing up at the stars from the hot tub. The nearby town of Jacobstow and village of Wainhouse Corner are home to shops where you can stock up on any necessities as well as pubs with delicious food and excellent ales that are ideal for a romantic night. The seaside town of Bude is the perfect place to spend an afternoon in the sun, with its variety of beautiful beaches, all of which have rolling waves that make them very popular with surfers; there are also rockpools to explore at low tide, and cafés where you can relax and take in the scenery. Aside from a wide variety of stores, supermarkets, cafes, pubs, and restaurants, there is also an indoor pool, a fantastic golf course, a bowling alley, and a gorgeous 19th-century castle. Join the South West Coast Path, which encircles the entire coast, and travel west along it toward the historic village of Tintage; along the way, you'll pass a number of beaches and coves, Pentargon Waterfall at Boscastle, the eerie Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, and St. Nectan's Glen nature reserve, which has a 60-foot waterfall. Tintagel Castle, whose ruins, along with Merlin's Cave, the Gallos Sculpture, and the ancient Old Post Office, are all well worth exploring, and Tintagel itself has a rich history and is renowned for being the birthplace of King Arthur.

.but whilst our stay,.. there was lots of flies in the hut..which was a bit off putting..and you could here them buzzing around inside at night. The little hut was clean but maybe feeling tired with all her visitors and she would benefit from a pamper!! Not as peaceful as I wished..as the road gets pretty busy..and Fern is close to it. Views are beautiful and seeing the cows and geese in the fields was lovely. My dogs had a brilliant time being free from restriction..and in a safely enclosed area with lots for them to sniff out. On the whole it was a lovely break.

Really cosy and romantic place. Hot tub was amazing. Did take a while to heat on the first day but after that it heated up quite quickly. We had an issue with hot water but the owners sorted that very quickly. Bed was a little softer than Iâm used too but was very comfortable. There is another guy in front of this one but you can only see the neighbours as either of you walk to and from the huts so itâs secluded and private. We had a lovely stay and would definitely return.

Thank you Julie and Andrew you thought of everything which made our stay even more perfect. We took our dog Lily with us and she enjoyed running around, as the area was all fenced off we knew she was safe. Would definitely return.
