The Bird Box
If you want to fly away from the everyday and immerse yourself in the very best that mother nature has to offer, then escape to this oh so special hideaway in the most magical of settings. Tucked away at the end of a country lane, this gorgeous bolthole is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and from the minute you arrive you'll understand why.
The surrounding countryside is stunning and the views mesmerising, and your own private garden is nothing short of paradise. You are sure to while away many an hour enjoying all the beauty that surrounds whether snuggled up in the comfy king-size bed, toasting marshmallows around the fire-pit or snoozing in the hammock. And your soundtrack for the day will be the birdsong - there's a reason it's called the Bird Box you know. From the beautiful dawn chorus in the morning to the enchanting hooting of the owls who provide the encore at the end of the day, these are the best form of tweets; they soothe the soul and lift the spirits - are you feeling relaxed yet?
For an extra treat there's an outside bath made for two - how romantic is that. Nestled next to a beautiful kiwi tree, the best time to enjoy a long soak is in the evening under the starry sky, it's an unforgettable sight.
Cool and laid-back interiors perfectly complement the setting. Wake up and fling open the cabin doors to soak up the serenity of your surroundings as you enjoy your morning coffee. Utter bliss! The kitchen has everything you might need for creating yummy holiday dishes, with a very sweet seating area for holiday breakfasts before a day of adventures. If the weather turns a little chilly, there is the cutest wood-burner ever to keep you warm and toasty - making it a lovely getaway any time of the year. There's no TV or WiFi here - why would you want it - so you are in for a digital detox and if you need help getting off to sleep it will be counting stars here, lying in bed looking out of the skygazing window above - dreamy….!
Getting down to basics, in the neighbouring cabin you have a super shower to set you up for the day and that all -mportant eco-friendly compost toilet.

Miss Marcovecchio
What a perfect stay! This cottage is beautiful, idyllic location, very clean - the owners had thought of everything (blankets, bath robes & hot water bottles etc). Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Mr Hewson
Highly recommend the bird box. Excellent owners and location. We had a great stay and will be back.
Miss Gray
Lovely owners and we had a lovely stay. Would return ??
Mr Newey
This is a tiny jewel of a place to stay - we loved everything about it, from the well-appointed, cosy cabin to the lovely semi-wild garden with its firepit and outdoor bath. This is a wonderful, off-the-beaten-track part of Cornwall and the Bird Box is the perfect place from which to explore it.
Mrs Cameron
Beautiful from the moment we got there the gardens really are something and totally secluded which is what we wanted perfect for the pooch to enjoy and us without worrying about other people. Lots to do near by great amenities too! the owners couldn't of been more on hand when we had questions would love to stay again very comfy bed inside too Thank you
Mrs Myers
Just had a lovely stay at the bird box would recommend this Everything you need for a relaxing few days
Mrs Harding
really love the bird box. Lovely location nice and peaceful. Parking is great. The bird box is small so might not be great for a week but a few days is perfect. It rained most of the stay but we were warm and dry. Loved the wood burner. Didnt get to use the firepit, due to the rain. enjoyed the outdoor bath. The bed was lovely and comfortable. There are 3 miles of single track lanes before the property, so be mindful if you are not keen on driving in single track lanes.
Miss Rose
Mum and I really enjoyed our stay here! Even in the cold weather we made the most of the hot bath and the bird box quickly warms up with the cute wood burner. Was everything we could of asked for a little getaway. Not only could we have our seclusion and relax but it was also in a great location to drive to various days out. Was easy to find and nothing felt difficult. So much was provided in terms of kitchen/ activities that you really don't have to take much with you.
Mrs Casey
Beautiful property off the beaten track. Has everything you need for a short break and a lovely comfortable bed! We used it as a base to explore Cornwall and had a great time. The outdoor bath was fab! Don't let the idea of a compost toilet put you off, it really isn't bad!
Mr Hoy
If you’re looking to get away from everything is perfect
Mr Lane
If you want to switch off from the daily grind and immerse yourself back in nature, whilst doing this in style and comfort, then this is the place for you. Birds, bees, butterflies, damselflies, outdoor fires and BBQs and even an outdoor bath under the stars. Truly magical.
Mr Zaronis
My wife and I spent our 15 year wedding anniversary at the Bird Box. Secluded and private, but footsteps away from where you parked. BirdBox was clean and comfy and cosy. The outdoor bath was amazing. Unfortunately we weren't lucky with the weather, so wasn't able to make full use of all the outdoorsy extras, for our whole stay. But the BirdBox itself is comfy and cozy. The lack of a TV and wifi was a welcome treat. We stayed in bed, relaxed and just enjoyed each others company. Ed was friendly and helpful, but we were left completely alone. We highly recommend the BirdBox and we're hoping to get back one day soon.
Miss King
Perfect for a romantic getaway. You can sit with a wine by the firepit and stargaze from the outdoor bathtub. Little touches like bathrobes make it feel that bit more special. The setting is absolutely stunning and waking up to incredible views at sunrise topped off the experience.
Mrs Bull
Really amazing property and area. Friendly approachable hosts and very keen to help and ensure all is OK. Super place. Tranquil, beautiful bird song, starry sky's and outdoor bath. Everything so lovely.
Mrs Nash
Such a fantastic place to stay in a great location. The attention to detail makes it a perfect stay with all you could need on your holiday. Its a credit to the owners. Our dog absolutely loved the garden. We will definitely visit again.
Miss Boylan
Everything about this getaway is beautiful. A perfect peaceful place that really gives you comfort and the opportunity to take a breath and relax. Could not recommend more, also, super comfy bed!
Ms Safont
The Bird Box is magical, we recommend it to everyone and definitely plan to go back. The attention to detail, the location, the linens, and the furniture, were all excellent. Ideal place to disconnect and enjoy the outdoors. Our dog absolutely loved it too.
Miss Whitlock
We had the most amazing 4 days at the Bird Box despite it being extremely cold (-10 when we left for our break!) the cabin is cosy and warm with the log burner and the bed was so comfortable! We are used to camping so this was a little bit of luxury for us. We especially loved star gazing in the outdoor bath. We will definitely be returning hopefully in the summer when the weather will be a little warmer!
Mr Wilkins
Everything about our holiday from booking through to the stay was amazing and efficient. Can't wait to try more places in the future.
Mr Whitby
Amazing location! Check out inkies bbq nearby for some awesome grub.
Mrs McCarthy
The Bird Box is beautifully designed, comfortable and has everything you need, plus extras like robes and dog treats. The garden is bigger than expected and very peaceful and private. The highlight of our stay was star gazing in the amazing outdoor bath! We would definitely recommend.
Miss Turner
The Bird Box is a stunning private hideaway! We loved our stay and would highly recommend. Star gazing in the night around the fire is a must!
Mrs Meardon
The Bird Box is absolutely wonderful. The bed is sumptuously comfortable and from it you can watch the stars or listen to the birds in the early hours. It is perfectly well equipped and has useful touches like an OS map of the area. We would certainly stay again
Ms Berryman
The Bird Box is a beautiful place, very secluded. I loved every minute. The cabin is small but there’s everything you need, including a small wood burner in case it gets cold. The separate bathroom cabin is fine, and the outside bath a great idea. The garden is surprisingly large and there are lots of walks and countryside to explore around it too. The hosts are very friendly but not intrusive.
Ms Rainbow
Where to even start! The Bird Box is completely magical - we fell in love with this incredible hideaway straight away from the outdoor bath tub to the fire pit and all the beautifully modern decor and little touches (dog treats, robes and Prosecco in the fridge on arrival!) Our Labrador loved the never-ending garden as much as we did and we felt so relaxed and comfortable here. Watching the stars at night, toasting marshmallows on the fire pit and drinking wine whilst in the outdoor tub were all highlights for us that made this private space so special. The owners are lovely and we loved exploring the local area, from Golitha Falls to walking across Bodmin Moors to the local pub for dinner. It is also a great base for exploring the coast (we enjoyed visiting Talland Bay, Polperro and Palace Cove). We cannot wait to return here!
Mr McLaughlin
Had a fantastic weekend staying at the Bird Box. Ed and Nema were wonderful hosts and made us feel so welcome (including a few little extras for our dog). Such a beautiful setting tucked away with a lovely little outdoor space to use. Such a well designed little cabin with everything you would need. Would definitely stay here again!
Mr Basmo
An absolutely lovely place in beautiful surroundings! The outside bath was amazing.
Miss Allen
The bird box is the ideal spot for a quiet getaway. The property it’s self exceeded our expectations and everything was perfect. The host was lovely and welcoming, the hut was clean and gorgeously presented. Crocs and dressing gowns were provided which was a lovely touch and all the amenities that you’d require were also provided. Overall we had an amazing stay and I couldn’t recommend staying here enough.
Mrs Crowe
Really enjoyed our stay at the Bird Box. An absolute hidden gem with the most amazing garden. (Our dog loved exploring). We spent hours in the lovely deep outdoor bath and really enjoyed sitting around the fire pit watching for shooting stars! (There is no light pollution here). The styling/furnishings and accessories in the Bird Box were of a high quality and we had everything that we needed during our stay. We would highly recommend this property and we can’t wait to come back!
