Dine in style in our fantastic new dining dome. It's like eating alfresco but indoors so you can enjoy your meal whatever the weather. The dome now has a mini woodburner and is a great place to sit back and relax, read, play a board game or just enjoy the view.

Opposite the dome you have an outdoor kitchen. Learn to prepare and cook perfect pizzas with our wood fired Ooni pizza oven or grill your favourite dishes on your charcoal barbecue.

Well this was our foray into glamping and it was a lovely experience. Tim and Helen are great hosts and are very attentive. After we finally got to grips with the wood fired hot tub we had some lovely relaxing evenings. The surrounding countryside is picturesque, serene with plenty of wildlife to spot and hear. The dining dome is magical at night and is a calm and peaceful place to eat. The pizza oven was great fun and once we had mastered the art of keeping the heat reasonably high, we were soon enjoying the fruits of our labour. This shepherd’s hut is a cosy and warm retreat that was a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. Thank you Tim and Helen for being such gracious and helpful hosts!

Just stayed here and it was fantastic. Very lovely hosts who showed us how to do everything and nothing was a bother. Left us to do our thing and didn’t disturb us. Can accommodate further if they are able to e.g allowed us to check out later than what was advertised. Would recommend if you want a chill and relaxed time!

This place is amazing. Secluded and so peaceful. Tim was fantastic not intrusive but there in a flash if you need help. Absolutely spotless hut and very peaceful surroundings. Hot tub was a great experience at night just laying there and not a sound apart from the peaceful wildlife. I would highly recommend “ Penlea retreat “ as it really is a retreat from all the hustle and bustle. Will definitely be returning. Well done Tim . We loved every minute of it. Also our first visit to polperro which is absolutely stunning. You will not be disappointed.
