About the site
Set on a hill overlooking the sea and countryside, with easy access to all that North Cornwall has to offer, this is a beautiful spot for couples, families and anyone looking to get away.
Home to two furnished and heated shepherd's huts, Penkenna and Cambeak, named after the nearby cliffs.
Cambeak sleeps two with a raised double bed, boasting views through the French doors and a cosy feel, complete with two comfortable velvet chairs and a Sky Glass TV.
Penkenna is ideal for families, accommodating four guests with a double bed and bunk beds above for children. When not exploring the outdoors, there is also a Sky Glass TV to keep you occupied.
Each shepherd's hut is a home away from home, beautifully furnished with an ensuite and a well-equipped kitchen including all the essential appliances and utensils to cook up a lovely meal. Enjoy a touch of alfresco dining as each hut has a private decking area with a dining set, fire pit, BBQ and of course a hot tub!
There's something for everyone at the farm with 18 acres to explore and a host of farm animals. The alpacas always welcome some chopped apples.
After your days of exploring, head back to your camp to enjoy the most dreamy sunsets. At night, look up at the sky for optimal stargazing.
Dog friendly.

A note from the site themselves...
You can enjoy a warm welcome from our seven cheeky Alpacas. From biggest to smallest, we have Maisie, Kate, Nell and Pippa, Lily, Coco and Luna. You will also get to see our lovely friendly flock of pedigree Zwartble sheep. Originally from the Netherlands, they are known for being friendly so be sure to say hello!
We usually have between 25 and 50 of this beautiful breed on the farm, and lambing season is around April. You may also spot a few of our chickens, who also produce lots of delicious eggs, with the alpacas nearby to keep a watch over them. We all hope to welcome you soon, Ross
