Hideaway Huts

One couldn’t possibly come to this part of Cornwall and not take some time by the coast. Lovely Looe and its beach are a 10-minute drive away, or an hour’s amble along the banks of the Looe river. Pick up the South West Coast Path there for sea-view strolls or drive over to Whitsand Bay (20 minutes) for instruction in the art of being upright on a surfboard. Just outside Looe is Wild Futures, a monkey sanctuary that’s likely to be a hit with your own little monkeys. More wild beasts can be spotted at Porfell Wildlife Park and Sanctuary (20 minutes’ drive), while sea-dwelling creatures can be seen at the National Marine Aquarium 40 minutes away in Plymouth. And there’s a whole heap more too: how about touring the eco domes of the Eden Project (half an hour's drive), visiting Victorian Lanhydrock House (half an hour), finding the Lost Gardens of Heligan (50 minutes) or a scream of a day on the ziplines at Adrenalin Quarry (15 minutes)?
