Shepherds hut two miles from the South West Coast Path and Praa Sands
In a quiet field 15 minutes drive from Porthleven harbour and beach
Distant sea views and fresh eggs and seasonal vegetables on site

Searching for some peace and quiet, or perhaps a wildlife haven that is tucked away in the countryside and still within a short drive of the stunning seaside? Red Skies ticks all of those boxes. Its lone shepherd's hut is in its very own one-acre field with stunning distant views of the sea. With nothing to see except for the surrounding countryside and the distant sea, it feels incredibly tucked away. Yet, jump in the car and within a 10-minute drive you could arrive at Praa Sands beach or the South West Coast Path which leads towards lesser-known or tucked-away beaches like Hendra Beach and Porthcew (Rinsey Cove). The shepherd’s hut is based on the owners’ property; they are on hand but still far enough away for the space to be very private. There is an allotment where guests are welcome to pick seasonal veg and pick up fresh eggs from the chickens. The hut is also dog-friendly, with a gorgeous outdoor decking with outdoor seating and a small kitchen area inside for basic cooking. A hot shower and toilet are housed in a separate building a few metres away. Porthleven is just a 15-minute drive away from Red Skies. It has a fishing harbour and restaurants serving tasty food if you would rather eat out than sort your own cooking.
