Acorn Cabin, Hilton Woods Lodges, Whitstone, Holsworthy

This gorgeous wooden cabin is set in idyllic Cornish woodland with just one other cabin. A perfect rural escape for a family looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday, it’s an ideal base close to Cornish hotspots such as Widemouth Bay (5 miles) with its smuggling history and rockpools and the picture-perfect seaside town of Bude (7 miles). Up to two four-legged friends are also welcome. This is an impressive cabin with an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and contemporary decor and furnishings. The lounge space offers a comfortable corner sofa and an additional chair in which to snuggle and enjoy movie nights in front of the Smart TV. If the night sky is more your thing, then head for the chairs and telescope provided and spot stars to your heart's content. The kitchen area has everything a cook needs to prepare a picnic lunch or delicious family favourites to enjoy around the dining table. There are two bedrooms located just off the living area - one is double with plenty of wardrobe space, and the second has bunk beds suitable for both adults and children. This latter room also has a TV. Completing this lovely cabin is a shower room with a waterfall Jacuzzi shower including body jets, a multi-function hand shower, and a WC. Outside, the surroundings are as striking as the cabin, and you will instantly understand why this is such a special place to retreat to and unwind from everyday concerns. A private wood-fired hot tub makes for the perfect place to relax and soothe tired muscles after a day of adventure. Enjoy a sundowner or an evening meal at the table and picnic bench on warm evenings and, if you need a walk then you can explore the surrounding woods. There are plenty of classic Cornish attractions close by including the historic ruins of Penhallam Manor (4.5 miles) with its dog-friendly trail, and the National Trust Georgian townhouse of Lawrence House (12 miles). Cornwall is a walker’s paradise and there are beautiful hiking areas at Efford Beacon (5 miles) or along the South West Coast Path at Caunter Beach and Rane Beach (16 miles).
