Description

Step back in time, light the log burner - and pick up that book you put down in 1996 and thought you would never find the time for - you have.
We are delighted to introduce Pip: He is our 1930's steam roller living wagon, now a wonderful garden bedroom, sitting peacefully between the trees. Coupled with Pip's cabin, we think you'd have to go a long way to better this unique holiday experience.

 No compromise in presentation in Pip and his cabin [actually a spacious luxury cottage] - kitted out with various antiques and auction find furniture. Fun and function hand in hand - lots of attention to detail. Quality accommodation and a beautiful historic garden bedroom in the form of Pip. All set in a large and private garden deep in the heart of rural Cornwall.

Outside

Pip is nestled between the trees, almost rubbing shoulders with the giant bamboo patch alongside. [you can hear it crackling when the sun hits the shoots - and the birds like to settle in there at dusk - much jostling and chirping]
Sitting just four steps above the ground on his little wheels - he casts a glance towards the firepit where many a glass has been swilled - and at least one proposal accepted. One sixth of an acre or thereabouts.
Pip's cabin is just a few yards yonder - a level walk(slippers and a torch at night). Lawned areas are studded with several fat green christmas trees - guarding the narrow winding path from car to cabin.

 Parking

Travelling to Pip is like winding back in time - first you turn off the motorway, then you leave the A road, next the lane through the hamlet of Rezare, and finally the grass centred track. Pip's parking is clearly marked from here - plenty of space.
Then it's a short level serpentine walk with a faithful old wheelbarrow for your luggage - where you will wend your way behind the bamboo, through the nordman firs and up to the front door of Pip's cabin.

Accommodation

Comfortably sleeps two adults.
Regret no children, but babes in arms welcome.

We know that a short break doesn't always reach the parts that a long one does.

Our short breaks in Pip are now totally flexible, starting on any day you like ,but ...

If its a full week of peace and regeneration you require, Pip is even more perfect now as we offer a rather large 10% discount on breaks
