General
- Cornish glamping with spectacular views, half a mile from Polperro
- Hammock, picnic bench, outdoor seating and firepit on each unit
- Eco-friendly with solar power, natural spring and wildlife pond
What a smashing little site is West Kellow Yurts in Cornwall, 10 minutes' drive from Looe and set on a hillside between Polperro and Lansallos. (Before you read any further, so look at the site pics…)
You might dither over deciding your fave feature of this scenic setting: the splendid countryside and sea views (really, look at the site pics), or the thoughtful touches put into the glamping accommodation placed on a nine-acre field of an organic farm. Want your own hammock to sway gently in the Cornish breeze by day or look at the stars by night? A campfire tripod, Dutch oven, barbecue and kebab stewers on each pitch? Own personal picnic bench and outdoor seating area for communal banquets? Done, done and done.
Matt and team have set everything up here so guests can start seriously relaxing the minute they arrive: a welcome pack will await and all accommodation has kitchen areas and an outdoor firepit. There's also a well-equipped communal kitchen on site with gas hobs, fridge freezer, microwave and coffee room, in the amenities block which comes with a luxury and modern wetroom with toilets and hot showers.
Also on site, wanderers will find a most pretty wildlife pond – again, have a look at the site pics…
Open from 26/03/2021 to 03/10/2022

From the manager...
Not having children myself, the other guests I have asked, have said they managed fine when showering their young children. They said with the 3 clothes pegs provided inside the shower rooms, along with the raised wooden platforms to keep their feet dry, it's actually easier than the typical swimming pool shower time and with much more space. Perhaps the young pups were just having a bad day, which happens to the best of us. We have kite flying, a 9 hole footy golf course, giant jenga, swings, swing ball and a duck pond next to the chicken coupe to occupy kids. It's also set in an 9 acre field for them to play their own games. However, we don't have a flashing arcade or the high stimulus noisy activities for the kids like some parks do, but that's simply not the style of relaxing break we are aiming for. Even the footy golf is at the other end of the field so they don't wake up the adults in the hammock or sun lounger =) |

From the manager...
Thanks for the feedback. We do like to keep everything easy and relaxed, but I'm on hand via tx msg/call if needed. It's important to recycle empty sugary drink containers after use, as this will attract wasps etc. However, unlike the others, the Kestrel yurt has a woolen insulation layer which seems to attract the odd woodlouse. They are very slow and harmless, but we may still just continue with the Buzzard and Barn Owl style yurts next year as they seem to be very popular and beautifully made. In the meantime, the Kestrel yurt will just have to be maintained with the dustpan and brush provided if any woodlouse find their way inside. This certainly isn't on many occasions, maybe just when it's extremely windy where they look to seek shelter. We have a 9 hole football golf course, swing ball, giant jenga, kite flying, animals and swings for children to occupy themselves with, but I'm open to more suggestions. I hope that helps. Matt |

Local attractions
The narrow winding streets of the village of Polperro, a half-mile walk across the field and down a lane from West Kellow Yurts include several pubs (four with beer gardens) which often have live music and performances in the summer months.
If you're in Polperro in June, potter along to the Polperro Festival; if you're in village any other time of year, potter along to the Polperro Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing (aarrr): you may already know that both snuggling and fishing have their place in Cornish history…
There's loads more to see within easy driving distance from your hammock whether you want a secluded cove, popular surfing spot, the walks of the South West Coast Path or well-known Cornish attractions like the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, both nearby.
Looe and Fowey, both harbour towns, are 10 and 20 minutes away respectively; Fowey via the passenger ferry from Mevagissey. At Looe, look for the trawlers on the quay (pic alert) and take a boat trip out from the beach to spy the sharks – you can hike the 12 miles of the South West Coast Path from here to Fowey if you fancy it…
Or get riled up at Adrenalin Quarry at Menheniot, 'throwing people off cliffs since 2009', where you can also zoom over the lake in a zipwire and take the Giant Swing ride – extra stomach possibly required.

Glad to hear you enjoyed our cosy huts and yurts. They are occasionally too warm if the log burner is roaring away aren't they, even in cold weather! The maintenance man sends his apologies, as he said when he drilled a hole in the new water barrel, a couple of shavings went inside. He thought he'd rinsed it out properly, but maybe one or two shavings clung on inside, but it's obviously rinsed out properly now. We have had some really thoughtful and fantastic guests this year who have left some great comments in our kitchen area. Makes the job really pleasant for me, so thank you to all you amazing people.
