This shepherd’s hut-style cabin in Cornwall is not far from the lovely town of St Austell, the sailing opportunities at Fowey, and the beach at Par. But the place it’s closest to of all is the place you must visit while you’re here: The Eden Project. Tucked away in its own enclosed garden, The Cabin is just two miles away from Cornwall’s most popular tourist attraction. It offers a cute, cosy, and convenient place to stay in central southern Cornwall – and it’s dog friendly too.
The cabin is a solo hire site; you’ll be the only glampers here and won’t have to share the fenced, enclosed garden with anyone. But that doesn’t mean you’ll be in the middle of nowhere either. The cabin is in the heart of St Blazey, tucked between houses and the railway line that serves Par. It’s an easy location to get to – even if you’re arriving on public transport as Par Station is less than a mile from here. You can walk to a pub and a shop easily. It’s just a little further to the beach at Par Sands and even the Eden Project is reachable on foot if you don’t mind a couple of miles of ups and downs. If you have a car, there’s plenty more to explore: Polkerris, Fowey, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Mevagissey… the list goes on and on.
Back at base in St Blazey, you have everything you need to rest in between your days out. In some ways the cabin has a classic shepherd’s hut feel with a curved and clad roof over a double bed, a kitchenette with a butler sink and a log burner. But it’s also modern too. It has electricity and running water to power an electric kettle, microwave and smart TV. There’s WiFi too. And the flushing toilet and hot-water shower are en suite so it’s not too rustic here. Outside, there’s an electric grill and a fire pit with outdoor seating and a hammock slung between trees so you can kick back and relax while dinner’s cooking. But, if you don’t fancy it, don’t cook. After all, in this handy location, there are pubs and takeaways just up the road.
