HOBBIT HIDEAWAY
(minimum 2 nights)
Suitable for 2 people, the Hobbit Hideaway is in the magical woodland at Rock Cottage, the home of Acorn Camping and Glamping's Hobbit Huts, which are set in the World Heritage Site of the Luxulyan Valley.
There is only one Hobbit Hideaway so staying here will be a unique experience to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life by getting nearer to nature. You will be the person who enjoys adventure and the outdoors, walking and exploring.
The Hobbit Hideaway is reached by a woodland path and offers the opportunity to stay in a traditional ancient broadleaf woodland, to see and hear the wildlife and experience a troglodyte lifestyle; with the benefit of being nearby to Cornwall's premier attractions such as the Eden Project (approx. one mile distant) Fowey, Mevagissey and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
Imagine living basic but enjoying some of the traditional comforts whilst immersing yourself in your magical surroundings.
The woodland canopy generates a feeling of mystery, a wonderment that gives a sense of special calmness.
You will be nested in the woodland and experience campfire cooking. You will collect your own wood to make your fire. We offer a number of activities on site including fire making and understanding the natural woodland.
You will have the luxury of using the on-site showers, wash basins and toilets provided for our campers and also the Hobbit Hamlet washing up sinks which are a short walk away. Drinking water is close by in the Hobbit Hamlet which can be carried back to your hideaway.
The minimum internal head height is 178cm (5'10")
There is a parking area a short walk away and a trolley to take your belongings close to the hideaway.
Your hideaway experience will provide the following equipment:
