Red Skies

Liked: Cozy Shepherd’s Hut tucked away on an idyllic peaceful farmland near Helston, Cornwall. Lizzie & Rufus have made sure that all necessary amenities are in hand to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The Hut is equipped with a mini kitchen, including gas stove, kettle, cafetière, mini-fridge, toaster and cutlery/crockery for those who wish to stay in and cook their meals as well as access to hot/cold tap sink. The hot cocoa, tea, and coffee available on site was lovely. We experienced all forms of Cornish weather during our stay, and the Hut stayed beautifully warm and dry (the wood stove was lovely). There are running electrics to the Hut as well to charge phones (but you’ll definitely want to disconnect to enjoy the view of the fields and sea and sounds of local wildlife). The bed was so comfortable! Slept like a dream every evening. Toilet/shower block very clean, with towels/linens available and the shower was comfortably hot (didn’t take long to warm up at all). What made this location extra special were the small thoughtful touches. Fresh eggs and vegetables from the farm available on request, the welcome flapjack on arrival, and local knowledge of off the beaten track locations to explore made this trip a gem. Also Lizzie & Rufus provided lots of recommendations of where to eat in the various local hotspots. Doggies were welcome (my little Border Terrier joined me on the trip) and he greatly enjoyed his Cornish adventure. There is a short walk from where you park your car to the Hut, but very manageable. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway with beautiful local views, comfortable home-away-from-home accommodation and a fantastic hub to explore the surrounding area (excellent location to hit the various entry points of the Coastal Paths) Red Skies is just the place for you! Would definitely return and highly recommend.
