Description

Polzeath 1 mile.

A stunning contemporary shepherd’s hut resting in Porteath near Polzeath, Dot May is an idyllic base for a couple looking for a romantic getaway to Cornwall.

Park off-road and make your way over to this cheery property, a quirky base with a selection of amenities within.

Decorated with a trellis and herb garden, enter into a dreamy hut with a studio layout sporting a double bed, wood-panelled walls, a dining space for two and a kitchen space with hob, kettle and cool box where guests can cook dinner together.

There is a shower room for your refreshment.

Surrounded by pretty gardens and a slate wall, dine alfresco using the barbecue and enjoy the countryside air beside the mature shrubs and extensive lawn space, planning your next adventure over a bottle of fizz.

After enjoying breakfast outside, head out into the local area, where the beach is within an easy distance.

Porteath is a delightful countryside location, with views across the farmland.

From here guests can head to the coastal walks through Lundy Bay, Epphaven Cove, Doyden Castle and beyond.

For more amenities and attractions, including a pub, eateries and convenience stores, head over to the coastal hamlet of Polzeath, where guests can enjoy a hearty meal out and stock up on essentials.

Here there is also a lovely sandy beach and a local surf school for those looking for an action-packed afternoon.

From here, enjoy a game or two at either St Enodoc Golf Club or The Point, or visit Padstow where there is a local museum, the National Lobster Hatchery and boat trips to explore the local wildlife.

Explore the beautiful Trevose Head Heritage Coast, or visit Newquay where there is a zoo, an aquarium, watersports, an ornamental garden and more.

We had a wonderful week in the Shepherds Hut which was exceptionally clean and well maintained.

The coast path and beach were accessible through the farm and there were brilliant walks to be had just a short drive away. Patsy was a wonderful host, thank you. We look forward to staying again.

My partner and I had a magical stay at Dot May.

Patsy is a wonderful host, thinking of the small details that make a stay truly special ,with fresh scones , jam cream and prosecco to wash it down upon arrival . The bed is super comfortable , the shepherds hut is finished to a beautiful standard . Its the most relaxing spot ,with fantastic hikes on foot from the door ,across the farm to lundy bay. A sunset walk to Ephaven cove and across to Doyden castle (fishermans friends movie ) along the unspoilt rugged Cornish coastline , really is magical and an absolute must . We felt so relaxed and enjoyed the peace of sitting with the blankets Patsy supplied , snuggled up by the fire-pit in total privacy . If you want to get back to nature and switch off ,then this is the stay for you . We will no doubt be back for another visit and more hiking . Thank you for the sunshine too ,what an added bonus . A gorgeous weekend away we will never forget .
