# West Kellow Yurts A small glamping site on a family farm in Cornwall, set just outside the idyllic seaside village of Polperro See photos, check availability, and book on Hipcamp: https://www.hipcamp.com/en-GB/land/england-cornwall-west-kellow-yurts-wz6hel0m - **Location:** Nr Looe, England, United Kingdom - **Price:** from £53.10/night - **Rating:** 96% recommend (23 reviews) - **Sites:** 8 - **Size:** 1 acre - **Host:** Matt J. ## Overview The yurt bamboo enclosures contains a campfire area, hammock and camping chairs with natural willow for protection from the elements. The 2 equipped kitchens have 2 fridge freezers, pots, pans, forks, mugs, plates etc along with tea bags, sugar and kettle/toaster/microwave. There is a gas hob inside, or you can take one of the portable gas hobs back to your yurt for a cuppa. These 2 shared kitchens have indoor seating for 6 people. I would say the beautiful scenery, the sea views and the peaceful nature of the campsite, along with it's close proximity to Polperro (just 15 mins walk), is a key feature. We also have a large 16 seated outdoor table, a small 9 hole football golf course at the other end of the field (400 metres away, so it's out of earshot), which is free for guests to use any time of the day. There are a couple of swings, a swing ball and a football goal for the restless as well as a vegetable patch, sweet peas, many flowers/hanging baskets and a herb garden for those with an interest in the garden. If it's animals you like, there are many small birds, especially skylarks and yellow hammers, which roam about the site freely. We also have 6 chickens, 3 ducks and some fish which you may feed at 9am at the duck pond/chicken coup. To see the 2 ponds, you would need to turn left out of the car park and enjoy a short 5 minute walk down the farms driveway. To see the ducks, you would go need to go under the wooden archway then down the path to the large pond which has an attractive/relaxing setting. Once you return to your yurt and you have enjoyed a drink from the fridge/kitchen, you might want to wander across the grass cut path, past the football golf course and down the lane to the historic fishing village of Polperro (voted 2nd most attractive village in Great Britain in a recent televised poll). This quaint village has many family run shops, pubs, cafes and a few restaurants, most with indoor and outdoor seating areas. You can enjoy a boat ride to Looe which is another popular fishing town which has 2 golden sandy beaches and more shops/coastal walks to explore. My personal favourite coastal walk would be starting from Looe's neighbouring village, Hannafore, walking towards Talland (50 mins with a great outdoor lunchtime/evening 'smugglers cafe'), before finally heading onwards to Polperro (another 20 mins) for refreshments. This is just one of the many routes to explore which hugs the coast through most of it's journey. ## Amenities - **Amenities:** Pets, Potable water, Toilets, Campfires, Showers, Trash, Cooking equipment, Picnic table - **Activities:** Biking, Hiking - **Terrain:** Coastal, Field, Farm ## Sites - **Barn Owl Yurt** (yurt, up to 4 guests, £89.00/night) - **Buzzard Yurt** (yurt, up to 5 guests, £89.00/night) - **Cowboy Wagon** (quirky, up to 2 guests, £59.00/night) - **Skylark Yurt** (yurt, up to 4 guests, £89.00/night) - **bell tent** (bell-tent, up to 4 guests, £59.00/night) - **shepherd's hut** (shepherd-s-hut, up to 3 guests, £89.00/night) - **The Star Gazer** (shepherd-s-hut, up to 4 guests, £89.00/night) - **The Wood Cabin** (cabin, up to 4 guests, £59.00/night) ## Recent reviews > We had an exceptional visit, staying in the shepherds hut. The hut was cute and the views were amazing. Everyone was really friendly and the staff were very helpful. There was no electricty or drinking water in the hut, but that wasn't a problem because the hut was full of tea lights and solar lights and the kitchen / showers were a short walk. > > - Nia H., August 9, 2026 > The yurt was lovely, although on the small side for our family of 5. The shared kitchen was well equipped, and we very much enjoyed meeting all the other campsite guests. There are a few activities on site, which was really enjoyable for the kids: jeu de boules, darts, football golf and a swing. It's a good location to visit Eden Project, Discovery 42 (hands-on science museum in Bodmin), and beaches. > > - Rudolf V., August 22, 2025 > Had a great stay here! I loved the wagon, was a bit scary in strong winds and storm but the wagon is actually really strong and safe! It was a lovely place with amazing views , even though it did mean climbing up a steep hill to get there - totally worth it ! They provided free coffee and tea as well as eggs and firewood if you wanted. Wagon is super cosy and warm to stay in - would stay here again ! > > - Melanie P., August 20, 2023 > We really enjoyed our Hipcamp stay at Matts skylark yurt, a lovely location with great views . The yurt was fab and included a private yurt garden with hammock and loungers- so great for a small family or couple. The communal areas included great facilities and even a pizza oven! The whole team were really friendly and welcoming, the site was very relaxed which made us feel at home. The kitchen garden produce was a bonus! > > - Jazzy P., July 29, 2023 > The yurt was nice but we had a burnt outdoor table with only 2 chairs which was also small for a family of 4. The area around was messy with wood laying around everywhere and untidy, very old rusted bikes and canoes laying around not really for use as the website stated. We didn't know which kitchen to use eventually used one which was cleaner and worked our it was ours. But only one set of pans and not enough plates for the people there so ended up used and not cleaned so had to wait until they had finished dinner or breakfast so we went out instead. Kitchens were not very clean not were frid… > > - Rachel J., August 19, 2022
