  • Exclusive and luxury single yurt on a Cornish farm
  • Private cabin next door with shower and flushing toilet
  • A 15-minute walk from the famed 13th-century Pandora Inn
Might you like being on your lovely ownsome and knowing no-one else is around? So you and/or partner can snore with impunity, be as noisy as you like (ahem), walk around as nature intended and with not a stitch more... or let the kids shriek as loudly as they want without incurring glares from other guests? Welcome to the lone, luxury and exclusive dwelling at Albion Farm Yurt, on a Cornish farm on the edge of Mylor near Falmouth. The owners of this superbly solitary yurt have perched it as an environmentally-friendly alternative to a holiday cottage, in a field facing south west and with easy access to the local village (although fret not, the yurt is secluded enough that no-one will see you prancing around in your birthday suit). It’s all surrounded by trees among a large grassy area and local wildlife. It’s rather clever too – the yurt is handmade using a traditional Mongolian design and coppiced wood, with awoodburning stove and gas cooker inside. The sides can be peeled back to let the air in, and there’s a roof light too for yurt-based stargazing. Campfires are positively encouraged here, cooking and eating equipment is provided and a fridge and freezer are close to hand). A cabin right next to the yurt has a flushing toilet, shower, basin, electric lighting and a towel rail. If you're part of a group or a couple of families, the owners will happily allow a few extra tents alongside the yurt. Albion Farm is 10 minutes’ walk from Mylor village and its pub, shops, butcher and fishmonger; the waterside 13th-century and rather superb Pandora Inn is a 15-minute stroll away along a creekside path, and the harbour to gaze enviously at yachts is nicely handy too.

Local attractions

Mylor is a very pretty spot with spectacular views – not surprising for Cornwall really – and gorgeous coastline, beaches, walks along creeks, the South West Coast Path, acres of green gardens and piles of history are all close to hand. Both Falmouth and Truro are five miles away. From Mylor, catch a passenger ferry to Falmouth; you can get to the fishing village of St Mawes by ferry from here too. The King Harry Ferry has all-day discount tickets where you can park the car for free in Falmouth and hop off anywhere you like on the journey around Truro, Falmouth and the Roseland Peninsula (possibly not into the river). Culture peeps have St Ives, Tate St Ives and the Minack Theatre at Penzance within 40–50 minutes’ drive. Or pootle around Falmouth’s Pendennis Castle, one of Henry Eight’s many calling cards around the south and south-west coast.
