A magical log cabin in Cornwall with a wild jacuzzi, luxurious amenities, and nature galore.

A ‘wildcation’. Yes. It's a thing. And it awaits here, in West Cornwall, at Little Menherion’s cabins, three extraordinary glamping spaces for two. This is a magical spot for those looking to reconnect with nature, nestled within a 12-acre smallholding of fledgling woodland, orchards, streams and ponds, and in close proximity to St. Ives and Falmouth. Each cabin is uniquely crafted and set in their own spaces – either nestled in the woods or in amongst the grasses of a beautifully tranquil meadow overlooking a wildlife pond.

Each pairs luxury with sustainability, all wrapped up in eminently cosy rural retreats. Hosts, Bernice and Huw, describe their Cornish valley as “middle of everywhere”. But, frankly, you could be forgiven for not wanting to move a muscle once you're here. You can just sit on the cabin decks admiring the wildlife surrounding you – there are owls, cuckoos, woodpeckers, deer, bats, and more – cook dinner around the firepit at night (or indoor BBQ if you choose to stay in Tylda Krow, or soak up your surroundings in the wild jacuzzi.

The site is eco-friendly yet doesn’t cut corners when it comes to your comfort. Each cabin boasts a kingsize bed with views out onto the woodland or up to the stars. Flick on the DAB radio (or throw a record on the turntable if your in Tylda Krow) and then curl up with a book in the hammock made for two, before freshening up in the bathroom with its hot shower and luxurious composting toilet.

If you can pull yourself away from the cabin, the local pub is only a 10-minute walk away. From there you can also visit Stithians Lake, a favourite among watersports enthusiasts, with an adjacent five-mile walking route (bring your wellies!) and a cafe with yet more beautiful views out onto the water.

Log Jam

Treehouse · Sleeps 2

Tucked away on the other side of a stream, Log Jam sits proudly on stilts looking back majestically across the woodland clearing it's nestled in. From this beautiful vantage point, either sitting on the veranda or inside on the big comfy sofa you will feel the romance as the wilderness dances and sings to you. Unwind, slow down, and soak up the nature. Find the secret door to the bedroom and clamber onto an elevated king-sized bed with yet another awesome view, just waiting to frame the sunset For cooking, you have a choice of creating a masterpiece on the induction hob provided in the hand crafted kitchen, or use the cute little oven incorporated into the wood burning stove – ideal for pizzas, jacket potatoes or that amazing Cornish pasty you came all this way to sample. If indoor cooking isn’t Bear Grylls enough for you, why not venture outside to your own private fire pit just off the deck and cook on the grill or Dutch oven and watch the sun go down. There's The Golden Lion pub and Stithians Watersports Centre with the Farm to Fork cafe approx 15 minutes walk in one direction. A 360 deg view of countryside and ocean from a vantage point 15 minutes walk in the other. You can borrow push bikes, rent e-bikes or take your car... the north, south and west coasts are all approx 10 miles away.

Round n Round - enchanted cabin

Cabin · Sleeps 2

You’ll be forgiven for thinking you’ve been under a spell after a stay at "Round n Round" as the woodland magic seduces you to unwind slow down & soak up the natural beauty inside and out. Round n Round and up the spiral staircase to the mezzanine, that grows up through the cabin floor, you’ll find yourself lying on the kingsize bed mesmerised by the dancing trees or stargazing at night through the beautiful dome above. Or swing dreamily in the hammock for two and let the world drift by... Round n Round is exactly that, not one but two round houses joined by a link corridor. The smaller round house houses the private copper walled luxurious shower room and the larger round house is where you’ll find the kitchen, dining table, log burner, comfy leather sofa and mezzanine with a bed to the stars. The shower room has a walk in hot water shower, a heated towel rail to keep the room and your big bath towels lovely and warm; and a luxurious composting toilet - think sawdust instead of water to flush. Light comes pouring in through the sky dome above during the day and there’s fairy lights to add that romantic touch in the evenings In the big round house the kitchen has pots, pans, toaster, hob, cafetière and so much more. The lounge has three full length windows, a wood burner complete with dutch oven and a lovely comfy chesterfield sofa. Two handmade bookshelves adorn the walls and hold a wide range of books, maps and games. On the far side sits a hand crafted spiral staircase to the mezzanine, where you will find the kingsize bed and mesmerising view. Note - there is restricted headroom around some of the bed and towards the top of the stairs. Outside there is a dining table and chairs, hammock points for a double hammock and a fire pit with lots of rustic seating.

Tylda Krow - a yurt with BBQ twist

Yurt · Sleeps 2

Come and enjoy a lovely, romantic break surrounded by nature. In a sheltered corner of a beautiful tree-lined meadow... overlooking a wild grass area and a pond teeming with wildlife… sits Tylda Krow. A tranquil space set up for you to escape the everyday, whatever the weather. Tylda Krow translates to “Tent Hut” from Cornish and that’s exactly what’s on offer here. A massive yurt which serves both as a bedroom and a lounge, and a hut that is split in two – one part kitchen and BBQ grill cabin and the other part shower room and luxury compost loo. The shower room is fully insulated and has a piping hot water shower and heated towel rail to keep the room and your big bath towels lovely and warm; a luxurious composting toilet - think sawdust instead of water to flush. The lounge/bedroom (yurt) has a big comfy sofa, a library and games area, a king size bed and dressing area… and a huge portal to the sky above the bed from which to enjoy the stars & night sky, all topped off with a cosy wood burning stove. The kitchen is a hexagonal room with a difference. Sitting centre stage is a Scandi BBQ grill for the ultimate indoor cooking experience. No need to worry about the weather now when you fancy a flame grilled banquet! This is surrounded by comfy seating and a kitchen containing all you need for an awesome glamping stay. Outside there is a lovely elevated verandah that runs the length - connecting all of your spaces, with step free access at the back should you want/need it. There's an outdoor dining table & chairs and just off the deck is a hammock frame and once hung, the hammock easily accommodates two.

From the host

In the middle of everywhere, Cornwall, Little Menherion is a 12+ acre smallholding. It's a special place to hide away, connect with the wild and strike out on adventures. So tranquil that you would be forgiven for thinking you were in the middle of nowhere You will be blown away by her rugged beauty and remote yet accessible location. Come and stay in our extraordinary glamping spaces and create memories you will surely cherish for a lifetime. Each cabin sits in its own 1/2+ acre private space separated from the rest of the property at the end of a lichen filled lane. Each have their own verandah - a great place to sit with your coffee and enjoy the sunrise through the trees & the nature on your doorstep, you will find hammock points just off the deck for a double hammock. There’s a private fire pit to the side of your cabin or an indoor a bbq if you're in Tylda Krow, to cook up a tasty meal. You can wander around Little M taking in the wildlife pond and watch the damsel/dragonflies or go on a nature walk through the 8+ acres re-wilding area or arrange a tour of the organic no-dig veg garden. It is 1/2 mile of unmade track to the property, drive slowly. This is the start of your move over to the slow lane! Do note that if you have a car with sensors (most these days) they will go mad due to the nature of the living hedge either side of the lane. Especially in the height of summer - farmers are NOT permitted to cut hedges between 1st March - 31st August due to nesting birds. Rest assured it will be wide enough for your car, 10 tonne trucks get up here. It is - at its narrowest - just over 8ft/2.44m. On arrival, you'll find a designated parking space & beside this a wheelbarrow that you can use for the duration of your stay to transport your belongings to and from the cabin 200m down a leafy lane. On the way you will pass the Wee Shop, where you can buy homegrown seasonal fruit and veg and freshly baked bread/pasties, as well as a selection essential and local produce. St Ives & the Eden project are both approx 45 minutes drive away in opposite directions. The nearest beaches are about 15 minutes drive & the towns of Truro & Falmouth and 25 minutes away. We have 2 push-bikes to borrow, & 2 e-bikes to rent. Ask in advance

Nearby attractions

Stithians Lake is around a 10-minute walk away, a reservoir with activities including kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing, and sailing. An on-site activities team will get you set up for the day, and fly-fishing permits are available to purchase, too.

St. Ives is a 40-minute drive away to the northwest, a world-famous picturesque harbour and seaside town that makes for a great day out at the beach. There are six beaches here, from the tropical vibes of Porthminster with its palm trees and tranquil waters, through to Harbour beach which looks out onto the nearby fishing boats. Then there’s the Tate art gallery & Barbara Hepworth Museum that are also worth a look.

Falmouth is a 20-minute drive south, home to one of the world's largest natural harbours. Here the water is so close that there are various spots along the high street from which you can see it, and it's also recommended that guests visit the award-winning National Maritime Museum & Pendennis Castle in order to fully appreciate the region's interesting historical heritage.

Other things to explore nearby:

Food and drink

The Golden Lion Inn is the closest pub to the site, only a 10-minute walk away and right next to Stithians Lake. Well-known for its gorgeous beer garden, food is served here most days. The homemade pies and Sunday roasts are definitely worth a try.

For a truly unique dining experience, it's a 15-minute drive to the Carn Brea Castle Restaurant, set inside the titular 18th-century castle with a Middle Eastern menu. It is highly recommended you book in advance (01209 218 358).

Farm to Fork at Stithians Lake provides you with your local cafe, known for produce from their very own dairy farm next door. With awesome views out onto the reservoir, there's no better place to sit and enjoy a coffee, other than outside of your log cabin, of course!

For a fabulous sea view and excellent menu, why not check out The Cove Café at Hayle Towans on the northwest coast. Stunning views across to St Ives and miles of sandy beach in both directions to walk off your scrumptious lunch.

If you have brought your furry friend with you and think a lovely restaurant is out of the question, think again. The hosts recommend Indidog a harbourside restaurant in Falmouth, who welcome dogs with open arms (clue is in the title!)
