As you wind through the moorland lanes that lead to the pretty rural hamlet of Warleggan, you'll appreciate why the locals have twinned this special place with CS Lewis' fantasy world of 'Narnia' and right here is where your holiday adventure begins. Tucked away in a peaceful corner of 12 acres of woodland, meadows and streams - along with its siblings The Witch's Wagon and The Enchanted Wardrobe (picking up on a theme yet?), each with plenty of their own private space, with the friendly yet discreet owners on hand but out of sight - The Lion's Den is ideal for a family holiday for four or romantic getaway for two, and any four-legged friends in tow.

With panoramic views of Cornish farmland and wooded hillsides, across the Glynn Valley, The Lion's Den is the perfect spot to relax, unwind and be at one with the great outdoors. We cannot promise an appearance from Aslan or Mr Tumnus but whilst relaxing on the loungers, chilling out in the hot tub or toasting marshmallows (or scrummy home-bred sausages or bacon, available to purchase from the lovely owners) over the firepit, you may catch a glimpse of a red deer, an elusive fox or hear the screech of an owl as day turns to dusk. With such a stunning backdrop you'll be sure to enjoy meals al fresco, stargaze to your heart's content (well this is a designated dark landscape area!) or enjoy some quiet time, lazing in the hammock with a good book - perhaps a du Maurier or Rosamunde Pilcher, both of whom were inspired by this wonderful county, or let mother nature create the story for you!

Beautifully presented in fashionable muted tones with the odd splash of colour and soft furnishings befitting of its countryside setting, this gorgeous open plan shepherd's hut has bunk-beds at one end (the youngsters will love them) and a sumptuous king-size bed at the other, perfect for bedtime stories and enjoying time together. The stylish kitchen comes with an oven, 2 ring hob and full-size fridge, and there's a homely wood-burner keeping you warm and toasty whatever the weather and of course a super en suite shower-room complete with hot and cold water, flushing toilet and heated towel rail no less! Add to this oodles of under-bed storage for your holiday gear and of course a spacious wardrobe (take a step inside who knows where you might end up!) and what more could you need.

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.

Mr Chart

Amazing little place. Would happily return. Such a comfy peaceful stay

Miss Elliott

Myself and two of my children stayed here for the weekend and we loved it. Had such fun in the hot tub and were given coals for the barbeque which was great. Beds were lovely and comfy that I've purchased the same stuff for our home. Loved that the bunk beds had their own little night lights. Can't wait to stay again!

Mrs Fook

Excellent location and stay - so peaceful. Loved the little touches like the cream tea and biscuits on arrival. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we might need for our stay too.

mrs godwin

We had the most amazing week! Such a beautiful, peaceful location with everything we needed to relax and explore Cornwall.

Mr Eaton

Excellent

Mrs Hall

Lovely stay, great location for exploring Cornwall. Very cosy, perfect for a couple or small family.

Mrs Lewis

If you need a place to stay that is peaceful and away from it all then this is the place. Well equipped and well designed. Beautiful surroundings and views and lovely hot tub. No TV which was ideal, we sat outside all the time either in the hot tub or around the fire pit. Family are lovely that own it and gave us Scones and cream. Remote, peaceful holiday and well needed.

Mrs Lines

We had the perfect stay in the Lions Den. The view was stunning to wake up to each morning and enjoy from the hot tub. The location was perfectly central for travelling with ease to both north and south sides of Cornwall. There was so much to do within a half an hour driving radius. We would highly recommend a visit to Fowey, Polperro and Adrenalin Quarry. The London Inn just down the road in St.Neots was great for food. A perfect stay, you could never run out of things to do and see! Highly recommended.

Mrs Noble

Beautiful shepherds hut with everything you need for a lovely holiday. The hot tub was a fabulous addition- our boys were in it almost every night! The location is quite secluded, though beautiful and has stunning views.

Ms Roberts

This is a great place for a comfortable 'get away from it' all break. Excellently equipped with everything needed to a very high spec. Great location in central Cornwall for exploring the county. Would be very happy to stay again in the future.

Mrs Turner

We had the best stay at The Lion's Den! The view from the hut is out of this world and it's very secluded. We were left some gorgeous homemade scones with clotted cream and jam for our arrival which was such a lovely touch and the owners were very friendly, giving us ideas of places to visit locally. We were blessed with the weather for our whole stay but come rain or shine, this is a hidden gem and we will definitely be booking again! Thank you for providing such a beautiful place to stay.

Miss hollier

Best place for wild life, views and family time! easy to get to!! Recommend to everyone!!

Ms Bee

Beautiful, quiet location with a well-equipped, nicely furnished shepherd’s hut. Cosy and charming. We loved the view and the hot tub too. Great location for getting to lots of Cornwall gems - Eden Project, Fowey, Lost Gardens of Heligan, St Michael’s Mount all within an hour or so drive.

Ms Podmore

Can’t recommend enough a hidden jem! You won’t be disappointed if book here, we stayed in the lions den and loved it, lots of memories made!

Mr Hill

Wonderful place for our honeymoon Cream tea on arrival which was delicious, milk and flowers were lovely touches. The hut was very clean and well equipped. Hot tub was fab especially after long coastal walks, being able to relax and look at beautiful views was perfect. Rosie loved the dog treats and running free on the grassy area. The under bed storage was ideal and the wardrobe behind the bed also, was perfect to store a big suitcase! Such a peaceful place, loved hearing the owl at night. Nearest amenities 20 minutes drive to Bodmin.

Mrs Johnson

Beautiful and very spacious accommodation finished to a very high standard. Immaculately clean with all the facilities for a relaxing week away. Large very powerful shower, the fridge is silent..great cooking facilities - everything is so well thought out, We arrived after a long journey to homemade scones, clotted cream, jam and milk in the fridge. Stunning location for a restful week away. Highly recommend to anyone wanting peace, quiet and tranquility - the hot tub was a bonus and with wonderful views. A real gem!

Ms Shillinglaw

Great shepherd's hut in the peace of the countryside. Very comfortable and clean with great outlook and a hot tub.

Mrs Whittaker

Lovely, peaceful location. Amazing views. The Shepard’s huts are well equipped and comfortable. Lots of fun days out within driving distance.

Ms Malcolm

Loved our stay here, beautiful location, our little shepherds hut came equipped with everything you’d need. Great location some beautiful hidden beaches 30 mins drive and plenty of beautiful walks on your doorstep.

Mrs Stewart

My husband and I had a weeks brake at this beautiful little slice of heaven with our fur baby. We have had the most amazing time and enjoyed every minute of the holiday only thing I would say is that it needs to be better sign posted as took us a while in our tired state for instance having a sign at the top of the drive We will definitely be coming back 1000%

Mr Buck

Lovely location if you want peace and quiet. Views were outstanding. Hot tub was great and very relaxing. Ideal for visiting many places in Cornwall as quite central. Cream tea on arrival very pleasant. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

Mrs Barrett

Already had two friends ask for details of the Shepherds hut from our photos and comments online… we had a lovely relaxing break at The Lions Den … it’s spacious and has everything you need for the perfect getaway

Mrs Budd

Perfectly appointed accommodation. Stunning views of the valley, especially from the hot tub. A wonderfully relaxing destination for a staycation and great base to explore Cornwall.

Mrs Dash

We had a wonderful stay. The hut was in a beautiful location and you can see all over the hills when you take a dip in the hot tub! Nice and cosy inside especially when the log burner is on.

Miss Milford

The owner came down and had a long conversation with us. She was extremely friendly and welcoming. Beautiful location. Perfect break for a couple, family (up to 4) and puppy dogs

Mrs McHale

We have had a brilliant week at the Lion’s Den. The cream tea on arrival was fantastic and set us up for a wonderful week. Such a beautiful place with stunning scenery. The hot tub adds to the relaxation we experienced surrounded by nature and unspoilt views. We will definitely be back here. 5 stars from the McHales

An amazing week spent in this little bit of Cornish paradise. Such friendly and accommodating owners who really go that extra mile to make your stay just perfect. The lions den is a beautiful shepherds hut with everything you need. We can not wait to go back again

Mrs Snelders

Beautiful hut in the most peaceful and stunning location imaginable. It can’t fail to meet expectations. Well equipped to cook a meal/have a bbq and sit in the hot tub, which is delightful regardless of weather. We had a fantastic relaxing week and enjoyed every minute of our holiday.

Mrs Witcombe

This place is an absolute treasure, we loved every second of our stay and will be back as soon as the bookings open for next year!

Mr Dougan-Hyde

We'll go back!

Miss Ross

Very easy to book & very polite & helpful customer service & given lots of useful local information about things to do & places to go to. I will definitely use Classic Cottages again ... Thank you. The Shepherds hut was excellent. Can't fault it at all. I loved the location. It was ideal for exploring on either coastline. It had lovely views. Loved the hot tub ... could come back at anytime after a day's exploring & just hop in & was constantly hot. The Shepherds hut itself was just beautiful. Lovely & toasty warm with the log burner ... heaven! Had a fabulous holiday. Was perfect in every way.

Mr Gibson

Amazing hut for couples or a family to holiday in. Lovely decor, spectacular views, fab hot tub, a perfect getaway.

Ms Thorne

Despite the constant rain we still had a lovely time at the Lions Den. The scones and dog biscuits on arrival were a lovely surprise and the hot tub was amazing. It's a great base to explore Cornwall from especially all those great beaches.

Mr France

Lion's Den is a fantastically situated and luxuriously appointed hut in the Cornish equivalent of Narnia. Even with 2 dogs in tow we watched deer, fox and even a badger from the bliss of our hot tub after a day of exploring Cornwall. A great base and to return to this level of luxury every day, pop a cork and settle in to the hot tub to watch the stars meant we really didn't want to leave !

Mrs Lear

Fantastic Shepard’s hut in a beautiful location. Loved the views while sitting in the hot tub.

Mrs Dean

This truly was the most beautiful place we have ever stayed, the views over looking the countryside are simply amazing, peaceful and calming. The Shepherds Hut is extremely cosy and comfortable. You feel like you are the only ones around for miles and we came away feeling very relaxed which is exactly what we wanted. A perfect excuse to get away from TV and technology, instead we enjoyed BBQ's, games and a nice glass of wine as the sun goes down. Most of all, they are very dog friendly. Our dog loved being able to roam free and explore, he especially liked the treats that were waiting for him on arrive while we enjoyed a very lovely homemade cream tea which was ready and waiting for the humans. Highly recommend!

Mrs Pountney

A beautiful shepherds hut in an idyllic location. We can't wait to go back. Nikki and Jeff

Ms Vassallo

Mrs Ali

Amazing place, amazing views! We will definitely be back, thank you.

Miss Mead

This was a perfect place to chill out and not do anything. It was so welcoming and comfortable and had everything we needed there. We would definitely recommend going and relaxing. Thanks for the lovely welcome.

Mrs Wood

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Lions Den. The hut is decorated beautifully throughout and has amazing views. The cream tea was a lovely welcoming surprise. The hot tub is a fantastic addition to the hut and is definitely a wonderful way to relax and unwind. Just a note to future visitors that the hot tub is visible from the farm house which does loose your feeling of seclusion.

Dr Bayton

Great location, really cozy shepherds hut, amazing hot tub with views across the valley, very private. Also they allow dogs!

Mrs Sivapalan

We had a lovely stay at the Lion’s Den. Everything we needed was provided. Home made scones and cream were a bonus! It was so nice and cosy and very comfortable. The kids loved the hot tub.

Mr Morgan

Fantastic place, location, hot tub and very friendly owners. Will definitely return.

Mrs Hill

Had a wonderful break in Lion's Den - quite idyllic - Narnia like as it's twin!

Mrs Stephenson

We were looking to book something a bit different and we definitely found this. The owner was very helpful and friendly too. Beautiful attention to detail and the hot Tub was a benefit.

Mrs Jewell

We had the most fabulous stay at The Lion's Den. The views are outstanding. The hut itself is so spacious for a family of four and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We did not need to eat out as the kitchen/cooking/indoor and outdoor dining facilities are perfectly adequate - the fire pit was brilliant and the little oven was amazing - you could even cook a full roast in it! The beds were so comfortable with beautiful linen and towels. The en suite facilities worked really well too. The hot tub was amazing whatever the weather - rain or shine - a perfect place to soak up the stunning views or follow the stars at night. Its set in a great situation for exploring both the north and south coasts of Cornwall too. We did a trip to the Eden Project which we all thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed!

Miss Lewis

Highly recommend, we had a lovely honeymoon here it is so secluded, comfortable and peaceful we had everything we needed and enjoyed star gazing in the hot tub during the evenings. It was so relaxing listening to the birds while reading on the lawn or hammock. We even saw a family of deer :) It is central to both north and south coasts and we enjoyed walking along the moors with the highland cows and horses which was on our doorstep. The owners are very kind and easy to talk to, they recommended a lovely pub to visit which was very accommodating to my diet (I am dairy and gluten intolerant).

Mrs Lambert

We loved staying at The Lion's Den - a memorable experience and the owners have furnished this with love and care. The hot tub is a fantastic and luxurious addition. We would certainly recommend this property.

Miss Millward

We had a wonderful time staying at the shepherds hut which was in a beautiful location with amazing views over the countryside. The owners were really lovely and were on hand with any questions we had. The hut itself was beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything we needed.

Mr Wendon

Wonderful views from in and out of the hot tub; relaxing holiday made complete by the quality of the finish and furnishings of the hut.
