Luxury Coastal Shepherds Hut + hot tub, dining dome and outdoor kitchen.

Our secluded luxury shepherds hut is set in its own large private garden in one of Cornwalls most beautiful fishing villages, Polperro.

We offer a unique glamping experience for this area- total peace and rural charm but with a 5 minute walk to the village, pubs restaurants and beach. (10 minutes back)

-Separate geodesic lounge/dining dome so you can dine under the stars whatever the weather

-Wood fired hot tub, fire pit/ barbeque. (enough logs to heat once a day)

-Outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and barbecue. The pizza oven is available for hire and includes dough, Mozzarella, tomato sauce, fuel and a lesson for £25 per day/night - enough for four pizzas. Bring your own additional toppings.

-Induction hob and fridge

- Electric stove effect heater.

-Ensuite shower room with proper toilet.

Our 18 foot shepherds hut is set in a wooded glade offering plenty of space to unwind and relax in perfect solitude.


Surrounded by National Trust farmland the hut offers a secluded luxurious and stylish rural escape and yet is only 5 minutes walk to restaurants, pubs, the beach and South West Coast Path.

Ideal for a romantic break for both summer and winter stays the small but perfectly formed hut has an electric wood burner style stove inside and a fire pit outside to keep you warm and cosy.

Park in your dedicated parking space adjacent to the meadow, then walk up some steps, open the gate and you will find your own private slice of Cornish countryside waiting for you.

Inside the hut has a shower room with walk in shower, proper flushing toilet and heated electric towel rail.

There is a hand made solid wood kitchen with belfast sink, induction hob, fridge, kettle and toaster. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a romantic supper at the tiny fold down dining table. (folding chairs are stored next to the bed)

There is a sumptuous double bed with storage underneath and dressing gowns to borrow. There is a wall mounted 25 inch Smart TV (only internet tv- iplayer, itv hub, netflix etc) There is a very realistic electric wood burner style stove which soon heats up the hut.

We supply lovely bedding and luxury towels and robes.

Outside on the paved patio you will find a large corner sofa and dining table with a fire pit/ barbeque for alfresco lunches and dinner under the stars.

The hot tub is wood fired and well worth the effort of getting it going! It has LED lights for an evening soak. Logs to heat the tub once per day are included in the price- if you want to use it twice per day logs are charged at £10 per bag. The heat in the tub lasts for up to 12 hours depending on the season. At night you can lie back and hear owls in the trees around you as you star gaze. By day the air is filled by bird song.

Just beyond the hut, a few steps lead up to a wooded glade- again totally private to you- with a stream at the bottom and a pond.

As you have so much space to yourself, you could easily spend all your time around the hut, or you can enjoy all of Polperro has to offer just a short downhill walk away. (Please note that the walk back is steep in places so is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.)

The hut genuinely offers the best of both worlds for those looking for a rural glamping escape yet with easy walking access to beaches, pubs and restaurants. You have miles of the South West Coat path just a few minutes walk away, you can swim in the natural pool nearby or sunbathe on Polperro beach- all without having to use your car to get there. Other beaches are just a 5 minute drive (or 40 minute walk) away.

The hut is totally private. You have the paved garden the hut stands in plus a wooded glade all to yourselves!

You have parking space for 2 cars.

The hot tub is totally private. You have your own log store.

We need to check the hot tub chemical levels twice a day with a 2 hour interval. we will arrange a suitable time with you when you arrive.

Beautifully appointed holiday let
Very cute, very well appointed shepherd hut and outdoor space. Just about room for everything inside, could do with a few more kitchen items such as a salad bowl. Loved the hot tub, dome quite warm in the sun but would be very cosy in cooler months. Bed a bit high - could be difficult for people who are not very tall ! Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Fantastic Shepherds Hut in a wonderful location
We had a great week at the Shepherds Hut. On arrival the property matched the pictures and description, also a lovely welcome from the owner, along with some baked treats, which were a lovely touch. The Shepherds Hut has been completed to a high standard and we had all we needed for a week. There is a lot of wildlife to observe, lots of bees in the wild flowerbeds, and we even saw some deer on our last day in the field opposite. You have your own privacy and seclusion, which is great for night time star watching in the hot tub. However should you need anything during your stay the owners are very responsive and helpful. It is in a great location for getting down to Polperro in 5 minutes by foot, and although you can't avoid the steep walk back up the hill it did seem to get easier each day.

Polperro Shepherd's Hut
Just spent 5 nights at this property and had a wonderfully relaxing time. The hut was spotlessly clean and couldn't be a in a better location. Beautiful and peaceful. A short walk down into Polperro from the hut, but the walk back is fairly strenuous (the hill is pretty steep). The hot tub is fantastic and just the thing to relax in after wandering through the streets of the Polperro and other beautiful Cornish villages. Had a lovely time and would definitely go back.

Perfect Getaway Stay
We stayed for one perfect week in September. If you like to be out of the hustle and bustle of the town, but still close enough to walk in (steep walk btw) we cannot fault it. All I can say is give it a go. You will not be disappointed. Very high quality accommodation. The hut, hot tub and owner were all great. Oh and of course Polperro itself is a lovely place to visit.

Wonderful Stay
Had a great week-long stay in the hut. It is extremely well equipped and comfortable, with the added bonus of the hot tub. Gorgeous walks straight from the door and Polperro itself is a beautiful village, with lots of great places to visit in the surrounding area. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place, we had a very relaxing stay.

The most perfect getaway!!!
Really loved the property it not only looked lovely but it is in such a peaceful location me and my partner felt completely isolated from the world and we able to enjoy some very needed alone time and relaxation. The village is beautiful and has plenty of restrants and the harbour is a really nice walk. The owners were lovely and helpful.

Private and secluded yet short walk to pubs, shops, swimming & coastal walks
The hut was perfect for the two of us. It is very close to Polperros main pubs and shops but has that feeling like you could be miles away in the middle of nowhere. We didnt even mind the steep walk back up! The hut itself is well kitted out, clean, plenty of storage for two and the bed is comfortable. We used the hot tub just twice during the week only because the weather was so hot during each day and it was nice to cool down a little in the evenings. The bbq was also a bonus - we used both this and the local pubs for our evening meals :) All in all we had a brilliant week and would definitely stay again. Polperro is our new favourite place in Cornwall :)

Perfect tranquility
We would highly recommend staying at the Penlea retreat. Tim and Helen were wonderful hosts. Very helpful and communicative. The accommodation was equipped with everything you need. It was very warm and the bed was really comfy. We were welcomed with an afternoon tea which was a lovely touch. The wood fired hot tub was perfect for a romantic evening under the stars. Tim gave excellent instructions on heating the hot tub and we enjoyed 3 evenings out there despite it being 0 degrees outside it was lovely! Polperro village was stunning and just a short walk from the property. The views are absolutely stunning and there are plenty of beautiful coastal walks straight from the village. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic little find
What a wonderful Shepherds Hut and hot tub experience. It is completely private as you have your own enclosed area. The owners are very responsive should you need them. The hut is a short walk into Polperro which is a gorgeous little town with lots of bars, restaurants and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return in the future.

Fabulous!
The cabin looks exactly as advertised and almost isn’t done justice in the photos!! The inside is furnished very tastefully and to a very high quality, the bathroom especially. Not only is the cabin itself amazing and in a perfect spot (just a short 5 minute walk to Polperro) but the view is beautiful. The owner is happy to help with any issues or inquiries you may have. I’d highly recommend and would definitely come again.

Perfect Polperro escape
Penlea Retreat delivers everything it promises and more. From the first interactions with Tim prior to booking, our comprehensive arrival instructions and warm welcome from Tim & Helen, with lovely little touches inside the hut, which is small but perfectly packaged - the ideal environment for rest and relaxation. Though saying that, it's perfect location for the quaint and fascinating town of Polperro and the wonders of the Cornish coastal path meant we were ideally placed for exploration, leaving the car behind throughout our stay and taking several circular walks (one a bit more strenuous than the others!) and several trips down into the town. Polperro itself has enough choice of shops, pubs and eateries to keep many a traveller happy. Our favourite bit was the chance to relax for several hours at the end of each day in the hot tub - luckily having several clear nights, shutting all the lights off, listening to the wildlife and soaking up the stars. After many wonderful trips to Cornwall, Penlea Retreat definitely rides high on our must return list.
