Porthtowan, Cornwall, England
Sorrel shepherd's hut (three person)
Liked Accommodation was excellent, really well thought out. Water in the shower was warm, the hut itself was also so warm, we couldn't believe it! The hut was tucked away in it's own little corner and was private, it had its own car parking space. The restaurant on site served the most delicious vegan breakfasts and lunches! We loved getting some cakes and a hot drink to take back to the hut, the Pastal de Natas were just amazing. The chocolate cookies were also to die for but were only available once - I nearly cried haha! The mushroom roll (sounds boring to some) was delicious. We couldn't fault the food at the canteen whatsoever, we wanted to go everyday. We also attended the live music one night and had vegan pizzas, it was so nice to just stay at the site on the odd night and just chill having nice food without having to venture out.
The site was also well located for day trips in the car to places like St Ives, St Ives Bay, Falmouth, Newquay, Mousehole and Land's End etc. They were still a drive away, but not long enough to put us off! The other option was to visit the local beach which was just amazing, especially at dusk when the dog could come with us. It's a stunning beach with cheap parking. The sauna at The Unicorn pub also looked great and you could take a dip in the stream afterwards! The local village hall also had a sound bath every Wednesday night for £15. So much to do!
My only tips would be to add blinds to all windows in the hut. Only one window had a blind, some had linen curtains you could see straight through at night when the lights were on inside, and then two windows (the small kitchen one and the window in the front door) had no blind or curtain and people would be able to see us and our baby sleeping if they really wanted to. I was very paranoid! We had to put towels up at the windows which was a bit ridiculous. The other tip would be to upgrade the tea towels (and maybe provide more than 1 for a 6 night stay) and pillows as they were poor quality and would be an easy win for the owners. More than one toilet roll for a 6 night stay would also be appreciated! Other than that, it was bang on and we will be booking to visit the site again!
