1 unit · Glamping · Porthcurno, Penzance, EnglandThis wild coastal retreat (Raftra Retreat) is open from May til September, with accommodation for 2 in a converted shipping container in May and September, and with an added 6 metre bell tent in June, July & August making it accommodate 4 people during those months.
The Retreat is in a secluded corner of a 3 acre meadow with sea views and direct footpath access to several stunning coves. The meadow is left to grass and wildflowers, cut once a year in June or July for organic hay. It is visited regularly by badgers, foxes and red deer, and it's a great spot to see hunting barn owls and raptors, swallows....and bats!
It's a fantastic place for star-gazing too!
Many guests don't use their car once they're here....there are so many walks right from the gate to some of the most breathtaking coastline in Britain. If you like sea-swimming, nature photography, bird-watching, rock-clambering, or just fire-cooking and romantic nights under the stars, you'll love it!
We are a little haven in the middle of farmland, so please be aware that whilst most of the time it is very peaceful here, there are times when you can hear farm noises.
