This 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.Please note May and September you can only book for two people! June - August you can book for 4 people. The Retreat is a lovely secluded glamping spot in our 3 acre field with stunning countryside and sea views. The field is a wild meadow, which we are gradually planting up with trees and hedges. We are close to the South West Coast Path, the MInack Theatre, and the now famous (once secret) Nanjizal beach is a short walk away. This area is also steeped in ancient history, with several stone circles and sacred wells within 15 minute's drive. Newlyn fishing port is 20 minute's drive, and a great place to pick up fish for the barbecue!

Wild Coastal Retreat

An amazing glamping experience! Claire was a fantastic host and the set up was brilliant - really well considered with everything you could need and cosy. Great location and lots of privacy. Would definitely recommend!

The Raftra Retreat was just perfect, more than enough space, lovely touches, and such an amazing location to explore what southern Cornwall has to offer. Claire was a responsive and thoughtful host. I’ll definitely be recommending the Raftra Retreat!x
