Glamping life in the yurts

Our three yurts at Cotna Eco Retreat are spaciously set in a sunny and sheltered green valley contained by ancient Cornish stone hedges, a willow-lined stream and organic apple trees which the yurts are named after. From your yurt you’ll tune into birdsong, sit under the bright stars, wander through the woodland and unwind close to nature. Yet with the luxury of glamping in a comfy bed with a kitchen and cooking equipment, dining table and a woodburner. Each yurt has its own campsite facilities: a compost toilet and hot shower outdoors with a sink, picnic table and firebowl. Footpaths lead you down through the woodland to the sea and quiet beaches as well as the local villages of Gorran Haven and Mevagissey.
