Flora's Hut

Flora’s Hut is a shepherd’s hut on a private farmstead at Horningtops near Liskeard, sleeping 2 in 1 bedroom with a wood burner and open fire for evening warmth. The hut has a kitchenette, an enclosed garden with seating, Wi-Fi, and off-road parking. Plaidy Beach is 6.5km to the south - a quiet sand and rock beach below Looe. East Looe Beach is 7.6km for a busier alternative with beach cafes and seasonal hire.

The hut sits on Little Trethew Farmhouse grounds in the rural Looe Valley hinterland. Liskeard market town is roughly 5km to the north, with a weekly street market, independent shops, and a railway junction connecting to the branch line that drops through the valley to Looe. Golitha Falls National Nature Reserve sits on the edge of Bodmin Moor - a wooded gorge with waymarked walks through ancient oak forest along the River Fowey.

The hut’s layout is a single sleeping and living space typical of the shepherd’s hut format. There is no dishwasher or washing machine, so it suits short breaks more than longer stays. The wood burner and open fire make this a reasonable choice for autumn and winter visits when the valley is quiet and walking conditions are good.

Best for couples seeking a low-key rural retreat with access to the Looe Valley railway and Bodmin Moor’s edge. The limited kitchen facilities mean it works better for guests who plan to eat out in Looe or Liskeard. Less good for those who need full self-catering amenities for a week or more.
