About this property
Gillan Creek is the ultimate eco-friendly getaway, beautifully nestled in a private meadow on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. It’s the perfect place to escape for fresh air and relaxation. The retreat features a hobbit-style barbecue lodge, a king-size four-poster bed, and a power shower, with the option to add a wood-fired hot tub for an additional touch of luxury.
Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, this retreat is the ultimate off-grid glamping getaway. Unwind, relax and spoil yourselves in this unique place that combines being in nature whilst enjoying some luxury. In addition to this, it's in a great location to use as a base to explore the surrounding areas, amazing beaches and coves.
The hut itself is home to a luxurious, king-size four poster bed with storage below, with Egyptian cotton bedding provided. The shower room has a hot power shower, flushing toilet and complimentary toiletries, and a small kitchenette has fridge, double gas hob and all cooking essentials. For chilly evenings, a wood burning stove will keep you toastie with complimentary logs provided.
Next to the hut is the romantic wood-fired hot tub (extra charge). Sip your favourite tipple whilst listening out for the hooting of the local Tawny Owls and star gaze to your hearts content. In addition to the shepherds hut, the Hobbit-style barbecue lodge is a complimentary extra, provided for your private use, to cook up a storm, no matter the weather; or you might fancy toasting marshmallows, s'mores or sausages using the fire pit outside. Plenty of choice!
After a day of exploring the surrounding area, you may choose to laze on the double hammock before dinner, listening to the gentle flowing creek, or relax and read a book in the swinging chair in the wooded area or simply listen to the bird song and cows and sheep in nearby fields. If you're lucky, you may spot the small family of deer that occasionally visit the meadow. Your nearest neighbours are the six cute and very friendly chickens, which are fenced off to keep any doggy guests safe.
Although this retreat is off-grid, you wouldn't know it, with fresh running water, a divine hot shower, flushing toilet and wi-fi, all run from a hidden array of solar panels, with the fresh water coming from a borehole.

I loved my stay (as did my dog, Maisie). It was unusual but really well presented and everything was catered for - the gifts left by Paul and Sharon were appreciated too and I loved that they left treats, dog bowls and a towel for Maisie - a lovely touch.It was tranquil and I definitely felt chilled by the end of my stay - I did find it a little out of the way but once I had my bearings (and ignored google maps which seemed set on sending me the long way round so that I met with tractors etc) it was fine.It was a bit of a staycation but nonetheless worth it.
