Relax and feel at one with nature, in this romantic luxurious shepherds hut. You'll discover Lowarth Treargel situated in the heart of Cornwall in beautiful peaceful woodland just outside the historic town of Helston. The quintessential fishing village of Porthleven is a 12 minute drive, the stunning streets of St Ives are 35 minutes, while Poldark mine is 5 minutes by car. There's easy access to the Lizard peninsula and beaches of the north and south coast of Cornwall.

The space
The Shepherds hut's name originates from the Cornish language meaning 'garden retreat' and it certainly makes a lovely secluded romantic retreat for two, located in half an acre of an enclosed private woodland garden. Inside the shepherds hut you’ll find a kitchenette area, wood burning stove, a double bed which folds away to reveal a seating/dining area with a pull-down table and storage underneath the bench seating. An ensuite rainfall power shower, toilet, hand basin, Egyptian cotton robes and slippers are also provided.

Edwina and James have created a unique, tranquil nature inspired hut, complete with a wood fired hot tub. Un wind in the idyllic gardens, surrounded by wildlife and the distant sounds of dairy cows, while indulging with a bottle of complimentary prosecco, traditional Cornish scones, jam and clotted cream on your arrival.

Guest access
Lowarth Treargel is located to the rear of Edwina and James's property in an area they call the paddock. As a guest you will have your own drive with parking, access is down a private lane which is typically Cornish. We would advise all guests to drive slowly and maybe leave the Ferrari at home. Once parked you will have a short stroll via a bridleway up through to your own entrance gate to find yourselves immersed in your own private garden surrounded by daffodil fields and farmers’ fields.

Other things to note
Outside space

Dogs are very welcome to stay, please select from the drop-down box to include your dog/s within your booking. Respectfully we request your dogs are NOT left unattended at any time and are NOT allowed on any furniture. Your hot water is controlled by a boiler via LPG gas bottles, should your hot water go cold, please inform Edwina & James and they’ll change the bottle over to a new one. You’ll receive complimentary logs upon arrival for the log burner and hot tub, should you require anymore during colder months please feel free to ask. Please be aware they’re limited cooking facilities, we provide a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and Tassimo coffee machine.

Please note the wood fired hot tub temperature is controlled by you. It takes roughly 1 and 1/2 hours to heat and the temperature gauge is in the water.

Edwina and James do not hold any responsibility for the temperature of the water and care should be taken when using the tub that you do not over heat the water as it could get very hot. Full instructions will be found within the hut and Edwina and James will be available should you need any assistance.
