Surround yourself in ancient oaks at this bespoke safari tent, which is part of an adults-only wellness retreat sitting in a woodland in the Mithian Downs. Located just 1 mile inland from St Agnes, it sleeps two people in one king-size bed, and is perfect for couples who are searching for a luxurious, boho-chic retreat where they can digitally detox while they discover the Cornish Mining Coast together. Pull on your hiking boots and head along the South West Coast Path to St Agnes Head and the clifftop engine house at Wheal Coates (4 miles) – it’s one of the most photographed spots on the entire 630-mile route. Or grab your board and hit the surf at Trevaunance Cove (2.5 miles). In the evening, come home to slip into the wood-fired hot tub and let the sounds of the forest do the rest.
Pull into your private parking spot and follow the woodland path 500 metres to your Wi-Fi-free safari tent. Step inside and you'll find an open-plan space with beautifully-bohemian, African-inspired decor set against walls built from reclaimed pallets. Cook up a storm for your sweetie in the kitchen area and share a romantic meal at the dining table, or step outside and dine alfresco at the picnic bench. Afterwards, treat yourself to a dip in the wood-fired hot tub, or head back indoors to crack open a bottle of something cool and crisp and snuggle up on the sofa by the wood burner. A king-size bed and an en-suite shower room complete the layout. In the morning, take your coffee out onto the raised deck and take a seat to sip your cuppa while you gaze up at the sun-dappled trees.
Take a romantic stroll down to Trevaunance Cove (2.5 miles) to surf, swim or watch the sets roll in. Or follow the coastal path on to Chapel Porth (4.5 miles), where caves open up at low tide beneath the mine ruins. Climb up to St Agnes Beacon (3.5 miles) and you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views that reach across the West Devon Mining World Heritage Site. Further afield, make a beeline for Truro (8 miles) to check out the Gothic Revival cathedral and the farmers' market. Yoga, meditation and massage treatments can be arranged with the owner (charges apply).
