A nature lovers delight, Skylark is a gorgeous, secluded retreat surrounded by blissful countryside. Situated on a rural farmstead, Skylark epitomises the very essence of escapism, where you can catch the sun's rays from mid-morning until dusk, taking in creek views and immersing yourself in peace and tranquility. Just a short stroll away from the beautiful Carrick Roads there are miles of scenic coastal walks as it is located in a National Landscape (formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

Your escape begins as you drive into a field and park up in the woodland, opening the car door and hearing only the birds as your neighbours. From the moment you arrive you will be captivated, follow the path through the woodland lined with lobster pots to your special destination.

Step up into the cabin to find the light and airy open plan accommodation; the quirky living area is just gorgeous with reclaimed parquet flooring and stained-glass windows which are so charming. The fabulous wood-burner will keep you cosy any time of year and on those balmy summer days windows open wide to let the breeze ripple through.

The sitting-area has a lovely bench seat to cosy up on together and of course a handy table which folds away when not in use. The fabulous little kitchen area has a gas hob, ideal for creating a holiday meal with views out over the creek and perfect for a bacon sandwich in the morning.

Cocooned in the eaves, a double bed awaits, cleverly constructed to make the most of the space. Its a beautiful place to escape to with views out over the woodland and down to the creek for a cosy night's sleep. Access is via a ladder so please take care. The small but perfectly formed shower-room is refreshing after a busy beach day.

Outside, your dreamy holiday abode has a backdrop of woodland with far reaching views towards the creek from the front elevation. Sit on the integral wooden seating whilst watching the sunset or toast marshmallows around the fire-pit as the light fades. For hearty meals a picnic table provides the perfect spot and afterwards why not partake in a little competitive game of boules! There's even an outside shower, ideal for wild swimmers, paddle boarders and salty dogs to rinse off. This heavenly spot is an idyllic retreat for couples or a solo adventurer looking for the ultimate Cornish getaway.

The owners of Skylark have tried to make the cabin as eco as possible, hand-crafted with British larch and lined with British wool to ensure you are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. You will find reclaimed and hand-crafted details throughout, which we hope you enjoy discovering.

The location and layout of the property was lovely, had everything you could need! Owner was lovely and very approachable through messages, will definitely be coming back!

Owners were incredibly helpful and it's a lovely place to get away from things.

Mrs Richardson

Mr Jenkins

Amazing stay! Loved every minute, the location is perfect and communication with the owner was spot on, will definitely be coming back!!

Mrs Temperton

What a wonderful place. Idyllically peaceful and so cosy. The owners were in regular contact to check everything was ok. It was spotlessly clean, plenty of equipment and the bed was super comfortable. We loved every minute of our stay and would definitely go back there. Credit to the owners for providing a perfect hideaway experience.

Mrs de Jager-Roozendaal

What an amazing hideaway this is. It's a lovely place to stay, all beautiful done with attention paid to every single detail, it's located in beautiful surroundings and has amazing views. Very peaceful with lovely birdsong, owls and pheasants nearby, squirrels coming to visit in the garden. Next time we'll be staying longer. :)

Miss Saunders

Skylark is a wonderful cosy home in a fabulous location for a quiet relaxing break. Super comfy, clean, tidy and organised. The hosts were really helpful and responsive when we wanted some advice about a local walk. We had the perfect break from our busy lives. 100? recommend this unique little gem ??

Mrs Rankin

We had a lovely weekend at Skylark, the views were stunning and there are gorgeous walks around too. Bed was super comfortable and there was everything that we needed. We loved how dog friendly it was too - would definitely return again!!

Mr Davies

Skylark was such a lovely property to stay at - it is secluded, has beautiful views over rolling countryside and water and offers really comfortable accommodation. The property has a cleared marked parking space for one car (located just inside a five bar gate off the country lane). Then there is a short bark chipped path to the property (which is really pretty at night when it is lit up). The property itself offers everything you need - a comfy double bed, cooking facilities and cutlery/crockery/pans etc - even cooking oil, tea, coffee and sugar - a table and stools to eat at, a seating area and an indoor toilet and shower. And great thought has been put into what visitors might need. I have already mentioned the tea and coffee, but the owners also provided a very powerful torch - which was very handy for the walk back from the pub! Speaking of which, we would highly recommend visiting the Pandora Inn! Skylark is the perfect place for a weekend escape from the norm. Thank you so much.

Mr Furminger

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Skylark. The perfect place to escape the noise of the city life and spend quality time with your partner (and pup!).

Mrs Upton

Wonder, quirky accommodation in a beautiful setting overlooking the Fal estuary. Lovely pub and walks in close proximity to Skylark. Peaceful and restful stay.

Mrs Baker

Overall, a beautiful little getaway. Plenty of outdoor space with pleasant scenery. If you get dry weather, you wouldn't want to leave this magical space.

Mrs Cave

Skylark was absolutely perfect, matched by the weather! Lots of lovely touches, including marshmallows to toast on the wood fire and thoughtfulness for our dogs. We used the woodfire for all our cooking and sat by the fire with blankets into the late evening. Good walks around the area too. It was lovely!!

Miss James

We had a lovely stay in Skylark, perfect for a few days away from everything. The hut has everything you could need and the fire pit outside is a great addition. We couldn't recommend it more

Mrs Schofield

We had a wonderful break at Skylark! It was a perfect spot and had a real cosy, safe, relaxing feel about it. So much praise for the thought and care given to Skylark. Everything about it felt loved. We would have liked to sweep up the wood chip that came into the hut. Such a beautiful spot, Skylark is special!

Mrs Faint

Lovely place to stay, beautiful views and very welcoming

Mrs Ginieres Ridge

a beautiful little hideaway, close to Flushing, Mylor Bridge, Mylor Churchtown and Falmouth. Plenty of walking options nearby. We had a mixed bag when it came to the weather the first day was beautiful and the outside space around the cabin was delightful, the second day was atrocious rain so we buttoned down the hatched and snuggled inside for the day! Would definitely recommend :)

Miss Rylands

A beautiful little house in a tranquil area, surrounded by walks and open space. Perfect for a little getaway with a 4-legged friend, to enjoy the sights and views from every corner of the property! Amazing hosts, who were so helpful and friendly. Would recommend highly! Thank you.

Mrs Walker

Skylark is charming, cosy and surrounded by gorgeous views. We arrived to find a handwritten card, chocolates and Prosecco as we had just got married - a lovely touch. It was the perfect place to curl up by the fire, watch the rain pouring outside, and reflect. Special mentions for the outdoor shower, toasting the provided marshmallows, the super comfy loft bed, and the delicious coffee. We will be back!
