General
- Off-grid luxury glamping site overlooking the spectacular Porth Valley
- Extra-large yurts three miles from Newquay
- Café, firepits, sunbathing terrace and luxury shower block
Might you rather like your own extra-roomy luxury yurt with a private outdoor kitchen, terrace and firepit... as well as the use of several swanky wetrooms, a cosy barn café and a sunbathing terrace, madam or sir?
You've got all this and more at Real Glamping at the Fir Hill: its setting in the handsome hamlet of Colan is a mere three miles from Newquay and close to spectacular beaches, highly scenic cliffs and splendid hikes along Cornwall's gorgeous north coast.
This eco-friendly estate is self-sustaining and totally off-grid, with its own natural springwater supply and power source generated using only biomass and solar energy. Ten solar thermal panels, a turbo log boiler and two thermal stores provide all the underfloor heating and hot water to the site's amenities; 40 solar photovoltaic panels produce power; and a battery storage room stores any energy that's been generated during the day ready to keep the site cosy and well lit in the evening.
Food for alfresco feasts can be ordered online and delivered direct from the local supermarket, and various takeaway and delivery services operate locally too for whenever you fancy a night off grill duty. If you're coming with a group of 10 or more and would rather focus on being the host(ess) with the most(ess), you can relieve yourself of barbecue duties and leave the job with the Fir Hill folk for a fixed fee by arrangement.
Communal facilities include a café and a cosy quiet room in the modern converted barn, as well as an upper terrace that's most suitable for sunbathing sessions.
Among the site's many well-kept amenities are a luxury shower block with eight showers and toilets.
Open from 13/07/2022 to 31/10/2022

If using satnav, the TR8 4NB postcode incorrectly directs you the lower town part of Colan. Instead, keep an eye out for Colan Church and head north from it, turning left with the church behind you; approximately 200 metres on, you'll see the entrance to the Fir Hill Estate.
Local attractions
As nearby Newquay's the surfing capital of Cornwall, buckets and spades of local surf schools await, with regular surfing tournaments at famed Fistral beach, as well as plenty of opps all around for other water-based pursuits such as canoeing, kayaking and sailing.
Away from the sea and sand, Newquay Zoo, Blue Reef Aquarium, DairyLand Farm World and the Lappa Valley Steam Railway are all popular places to take tiddlers to, and other attractions such as the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and Crealy Great Adventure Park are all within easy reach. For grownup peeps, 18th-century Trewithen House, world-class golf courses, and horse riding adventures are all at your disposal too.
Truro a short drive away is filled to gills with independent shops, eateries, weekly farmers' markets and splendid architecture, and further afield you’ll find reams more coastline, outdoor adventure activities, award-winning seafood restaurants and pretty fishing villages.
