Amelia
What a wonderful spot! It was absolutely perfect for our stay in Cornwall. We loved it and would definitely return. Thank you to the lovely owners x
Andrew
Fantastic location, brilliant hosts and the safari tents are amazing. This is the perfect location for a visit to Cornwall!
Great location for the dogs to rest after a day at the beach.
Jennifer
We really loved staying in the very spacious safari tent ,it really was glamping. It was just what we needed with a big step up from camping but still out in nature. Collecting the logs which were provided and making the fires for the hot tub and stove was part of the fun . The large field meadow was kept very natural which is what we liked,it was teeming with wildlife ,sitting on the veranda just soaking it all in was an absolute joy. Our teenage daughter loved it all ,she went in the hot tub daily and enjoyed the space in general and one night sitting around the camp fire singing songs and Star gazing . I always take my own pillow on holiday . It wasnt needed . The beds and bedding plus pillows were comfy and warm . It was a little hidden gem in our opinion . Thank you to Amber and Tony .
We have had a very satisfactory glamping holiday. Considering the kind of experience we were after, it ticked all our boxes. The tent was spacious enough for the four of us 2 adults, 1 teen, 1 almostteen and had the right balance of amenities. The hot tub was an enjoyable experience in itself. Firing up the wood burners with the firelighters, kindling and wood provided provided a memorable experience for the children and ourselves as parents. The peaceful setting and the views of the surrounding beautiful countryside were appreciated. It was a haven to return to after our countryside walks and ramblings. The owners, Amber and Tony, were warm and welcoming and made our stay pleasant to remember. We would happily recommend this holiday property to anyone whos never been glamping before, and even to those who have.
We had such a lovely stay, the kids loved the wood heated hot tub, we cooked on the log burning stove and enjoyed evenings sat out in the peace and tranquility of the site. Will be back!
Had a lovely time at Stars and Embers so peaceful in a lovely setting. Great woodfired hot tub and log burning stove with logs supplied. Good facilities and dog friendly. Owners very helpful and friendly deserve to do well. Don't miss out would definitely recommend. Good communication from Cornish Cottage Holidays.
An absolute gem. So peaceful and tranquil. Enjoyed amazing sunsets from the wood fired hot tub. Best glamping experience ever. Will definitely do it again.
Christine
