Set within 2 acres of secluded woodland and blankets of sunkissed daffodils, a stay at this romantic shepherd’s hut is true escapism at its finest. Spend quality time with your loved one and two furry friends at this memorable countryside retreat.

Before letting yourself into this unique holiday home, find yourselves captivated by the idyllic scenery while your precious pooches frolic through the sea of bluebells and daffodils, looking for a spot to play. Let yourselves into the property and feel the tension lifting from your shoulders. This quaint accommodation encourages you to put your feet up on the comfortable sofa, catch up with your favourite shows and rustle up some delicious dishes in the mini open-plan kitchen. If you're looking for a night off from cooking, your host is a trained chef and will happily provide fresh meals for an extra fee. Dine on the pull-out table and chairs while your happy hounds sniff out tasty morsels. Spend your evenings bubbling away in the hot tub, meandering the adjoining woodland path, or roasting marshmallows on the toasty firepit. End each day with a shower and then a peaceful night's rest in the double bed while the pups sprawl out in their own fluffy beds brought from home.

Start your day with walkies in one of Cornwall's designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Bodmin Moor (6 miles). This heather-covered wilderness is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs, cyclists, hikers and, of course, your four-legged friends. Contented canines will be sure to take a dip in the crystal-clear waterfalls available and will be keen to refuel with a hearty meal at a nearby dog-friendly pub. Sandy adventures await with trips to Crackington Haven (17 miles), which puppies are free to explore between October and April. Alternatively, dive into the magical myths and legends of Tintagel, which is 18 miles from the property.

This is the perfect place to stay with a dog. The welcome package with dog treats, milk, Prosecco and everything you need is a lovely touch. My spaniel puppy loved being able to play in the orchard and explore the woodland and stream. The home cooked meals are delicious and such generous portions - thoroughly recommend the northern Spanish chicken!Read more The hut was warm and cosy despite the cold weather with underfloor heating.

Left the property 2 hours after arrival due to the hut being absolutely filthy. Smelt strongly of dog on arrival, dog hairs all over the sofa/cushions. Toothpaste splatters all round the sink area, all surfaces in sitting area thick with brown grime.

Did receive a full refund & owners reviewing cleaning policy so hopefully better for future guests.

RESPONSE FROM HOLIDAY COTTAGES: Sorry you had a negative experience, this is not the usual standard of cleaning at the property and we're pleased that the owner responded quickly to your complaint and issued a full refund. The property was fully redecorated at the start of the season, and maintenance and decoration will be carried out over the winter. Hide

Gorgeous hut, we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere and it was just so serene. Can't recommend it enough, the fire pit and hot tub was just perfect as well. Do also try the food, best arrival we could have asked for. This area was absolutly lovely to come to in early autumn as well.

Private and peaceful surroundings. Personally felt the property was tired looking, both outside and in. Would imagine when it was first being used, it would have been lovely. As we don't have pets, we were taken aback by the smell when we first opened the door, which found was coming from a rather smelly blanket obviously used by previous peopleRead more who bring their dogs. Wasn't nice. Don't bring good swimwear for use in hot tub. My costume was ruined after using it just twice!SELECTED!. !ENDOFSELECTED!

RESPONSE FROM HOLIDAY COTTAGES - We are sorry that Daffodil Hut was not to your liking; it has recently been updated and decorated throughout. The hot tub has also recently been replaced, and care is taken to ensure the chemicals are at the correct standard. The owner is on site to rectify any issues you have during your stay. All blankets are cleaned between guests, but sorry if it was missed on this occasion.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Daffodil Hut. The hut and its secluded location was fantastic. Our hosts were lovely and their home cooked food we ordered from them was that of a 5 star restaurant, all cooked and brought to us in individual dishes.
