MILL VALLEY Glamping Cornwall

Glamping Cornwall

A glamping break in Cornwall like no other… step away from the hustle and bustle of your life, and come and relax in a stunning part of Cornwall and realise what life should really be all about! Mill Valley is based in a beautiful part of Cornwall, we offer our visitors a unique chance to experience a holiday in a Yurt or a Shepherds Hut. We have tried to make Mill Valley as eco friendly and carbon neutral as possible. We have 5 composting toilets/tree bogs and in a small log cabin you will find 2 bathrooms each with there own roll top bath, supplied with the water from our own bore hole which is heated by lighting and tending to a wood burning stove!…

There is NO Sky TV, hard standings, concrete shower blocks, electrical hook-ups, social clubs, games rooms and redcoats… What we do have is ….. Peace, tranquility, green fields and rolling hills. A river and a watermill we are restoring, walks through natural bluebell woods, birdsong & clean air. Nearby on our working smallholding we have some cows and sometimes some chickens, ducks, guinea fowl and pigs depending on the time of year. There are fish in the clean river, and a stone bridge to sit on…If your lucky you may see an otter or Kingfisher down by the weir…need we say more?!

You are welcome to wonder down through the woods and when we have them (usually during Spring and Summer) visit the animals on our smallholding – they are always happy to see people – especially if you take them some snacks! We are surrounded by tranquil riverside walks through natural bluebell woods and a little stone bridge to sit on and watch for the local wildlife… Dogs are very welcome to come along and take advantage of the nearby walks.

We are extremely enthusiastic about “Mill Valley” and the stunning area that we live in and would live to share this with you…

Next to the wood burner is a cosy corner where you can put your feet up and chill out on the leather sofa and take in all the handcrafted details of the cabin. The bedroom is situated on a mezzanine level which is reached by a chunky wooden ladder…fall asleep listening to the tawny owls and the peaceful sound of the weir below…
