Book Sylvan View, a 1 bedroom holiday cottage in St Blazey, near Par

A woodland cabin in the Luxulyan Valley near St Blazey, sleeping 2 in a king-size mezzanine bed accessed by a permanent ladder. The 7-acre site has meadows, broadleaf woodland, a hobbit hamlet, bell tents, and a woodland trail. A wood burner and open fire provide warmth. Dog-friendly. Carlyon Bay is 4.1km away.

The Eden Project is 1 mile away. The Treffry viaduct of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site is on the same lane. Par Sands beach is within 3 miles.

The magic starts as soon as you park your car, with a short level walk to the cabin through the woodland (wheelbarrows for belongings are provided for ease) leading you to the haven that awaits. On arrival at the property the open-plan lounge/diner is the main space in the cabin and is simply and tastefully decorated, in keeping with the general sense of calm here. The wood burner sits in the corner, keeping the whole place warm and cosy. The first basket of logs is provided and more can be bought from the owner who harvests them from the surrounding woodland, at a cost of £5 per bag. There is a TV and DVD. The kitchen is small but efficient, with an oven and hob, fridge/freezer, and microwave. The shower room is also on the ground floor, with a corner shower cubicle and WC. A permanent ladder leads to the snug, platformed bed, which has reduced head room due to its location in the roof space. The bed here is a king-size and a window lies behind the head of the bed.

Outside, the property benefits from a veranda and garden, where guests can enjoy alfresco meals and those exceptional views of the neighbouring woodland and valley. There is seating and a BBQ out here too along with a fire bowl, making the evenings a truly romantic experience. Arts and crafts workshops are available on site throughout the year. Bring sparkle to your winter and excitement to your summer at the Eden Project. Get your skates on for ice skating fun during winter and enjoy the seasonal activities, festive lights or explore the rainforest at twilight.  In summer get your dancing shoes on and enjoy world famous top musicians with the Eden Sessions (all events and skating opening dates can be found on Eden Project website) - ice skating is available from 14th October 2023 to February 2024, including half term week.
